Early this week, while on his mail route on highway 95 near Union Chapel, Wilson Braswell narrowly escaped a serious acci dent when he whipped off the highway justS in time to avert a huge trailer truck which speed ed by him from the rear. Wilson, who says he drives with one eye on his rear view mirror, saw the big truck zooming up be hind him. In spite of a clear road ahead, the driver made no effort to pass but continued to close on Wilson’s car. In the nick of time the popular mail carrier took to the shoulder, and the truck sailed past, its rear wheels bumping along the dirt off the highway, missing the side of Wilson’s car by an inch. Its speed was estimated by witnesses at over 75 miles an hour. Fortunately for Wilson, a crowd quickly assembled, for his automo bile was precariously balanced on the narrow shoulder of the road where the fill dropped down. The outside wheels hung clear of the ground, and it required eight men to hold the car upright while it was pulled back to the pavement. He pointed out that the Enabling Act, which was passed by the 1951 Session of the N. C. General As sembly, gives each man, woman, and child in the State who pur chases feed and fertilizer, the right to vote a five-cents per ton as sessmen on these two iter*s. The proceeds from this assessment will go into the Agricultural Founda tion’s Research Fund to be used in work on all North Carolina farm commodities.

PTA TO MEET MONDAY The Wakelon Parent-Tea cher Association will hold its October meeting Monday night, October 15, at 8 o’- clock in the Wakelon audi torium. “We cannot hope to make any really outstanding progress in our agricultural program,” Shaw said, “unless we establish a fund to promote research. “The average farmer in the State will only pay the small sum of 50 cents per year if this assessment is voted. He will recap many dol lars which might otherwise be de stroyed by crop disease and in sects.” Theo. Davis Sons, Publishers.
