Lists Applicants' Tests
By C. M. HOCUTT
Driver’s License Examiner
Those of you who wish to obtain
your first driver’s license should
keep in mind that North Carolina
Law requires you to have a State
Driver’s License in order to drive
a vehicle on the streets and high
ways, and also a required exam
ination which you must pass to
prove your ability to satisfactorily
operate a motor vehicle.
This consists of a vision test,
a written or oral test on the rules
of the road, a road sign test, and
an actual driving test on the streets
and highways.
It is my suggestion that you first
obtain a North Carolina Driver’s
Handbook, which includes infor
mation covering your examination.
It is published for the North Caro
lina Department of Motor Vehicles
and distributed by the North Caro
lina Highway Safety Division. Be
fore anyone attempts to obtain a
driver’s license, he should thor
oughly acquaint himself with the
fundamentals contained in this
book.
After this is done, the applicant
should apply for his learner’s per
mit. This permit, which is valid
for a period of thirty days, allows
the learning driver to operate a
vehicle on the streets and high
ways, provided he is accompanied
in the front seat by a licensed
driver.
During these thirty days of driv
ing practice, your instructor should
Zebulon, tobacco farmers cast 449
votes, all for controls. Three-year
control was approved by 446, with
three votes favoring one-year ex
tension.
Tobacco Associates fared also as
well with 448 farmers approving
the plan and one aaginst. Under
this plan, Hty per acre of tobacco
is paid by farmers to promote To
bacco Associates.
Little River B, voting at J. D.
Jones’ Store, cast 200 votes, ac
cording to Billy Hopkins, vice
chairman of the A.S.C. Communi
ty Committee. Both measures
were approved in the north pre
cinct, with only six against to
bacco controls and 13 disapprov
ing the 1 obacco Associates plan.
Wendell Returns
In Wendell, election returns in
dicated similar approval of both
measures.
Favoring Tobacco Associates
were 330 voters, with three indi
cating disapproval, according to
the Wendel Town Office.
Wendell returns on marketing
quotas for three years showed ap
proval by 333 farmers, one favored
one-year control, and two were
opposed to controls of any kind.

teach you how to parallel park, do
a turn about in the road, do a
quick stop with your emergency
or hand brake, and also with your
foot brake.
These are some of the things
which you will be required to do
on your road test. There are other
requirements, but the ones men
tioned are the most important.

Local School Committeemen Attend Wake
Segregation Meeting; Some Delay Urged
The Wake County Board of Edu
cation issued a resolution last Fri
day which may be a step toward
ending segregation in Wake Coun
ty Schools. The resolution states
that beginning in September 1956
no child shall be assigned to any
school in Wake County on the basis
of race or color.
Bases for assignment of children
to schools provided measures
which could postpone the end of
segregation beyond 1956.
The decision does not apply for
the school term beginning in Sep
tember; the old enrollment rules
still apply. But any child can
apply for a transfer from the
school to w’hich he is assigned. The
application for reassignment must
be made within 10 days after the
opening of school.
The Wake resolution was unani
mously adopted by the board after
some 50 committeemen from 12
Wake school districts had unani
mously approved the resolution.
, The resolution, after noting that
two bond issues totaling $4,875,000
had been approved for construc
tion of white and Negro schools in
Wake in recent years, says:
Assumes Obligation
No child shall be assigned to any
school in Wake County on the
basis of race or color.
The responsibility for assign
ment of children to the several
schools of the county as placed by
act of the 1955 General Assembly
is assumed by the Board of Edu
cation.
Every assignment of a child to
one of the schools of the county
shall be considered and adjudged
individually one or more of the
following bases:
(a) Needs and welfare of the
child.
(b) Welfare and best interests
of all other children.
(c) Availability of facilities, in
cluding transportation.
ATOMIC FALL-OUT PATTERN SHOWN
(d) Fitness of facilities, includ
ing health.
(e) Aptitude of the child and
curriculum adjustment of the
school.
(f) Residence of the child.
(g) All other factors considered
pertinent, relevant and material
affecting either the child or the
schools.
The resolution says it will be
the policy of the school board to
follow as nearly as practicable the
Goat Provided for Absent Lions
In Effort to Aid Club Attendance
In an attempt to achieve perfect
attendance for the next year, the
help of a goat is planned by the
Zebulon Lions Club, according to
Frank Kemp, president' The idea
was suggested at the club’s regular
Thursday night meeting.
Any Lion who misses a meeting
will have the privilege of living
with the goat unless he makes up
the missed meeting by the follow
ing Monday.
