Driver Education Course in Schools to
Be Advanced by North Carlina Jaycees
The North Carolina Junior
Chamber of Commerce will spon
sor legislation in the 1957 Gen
oral Assembly to provide for a
driver education course in every
public high school, according to
State Jaycee President Bob Cox
of Chn| id Hill.
The proposed legislation al
ready has the endorsement of
Governor Hodges, the Highway
Users Association, the Governor’s
Traffic Safety Committee; the
N. C. Congress of Parents and
Teachers, tin- N. C. Federation
of Home Demonstration Clubs,
and the State Departments of
Education and Motor Vehicles, ji
Mr. Cox said driver education
has not been a part of the teach
ing curriculum in the past, be
muse teacher allotments do not
provide sufficient personnel to
permit school officials to assign
teachers that function.
tine of the tasks facing the
slate Jaycees, according to Mr
Cox, is "finding the method of
financing which would be least
unpopular with the people ami
l lie legislators. . '
“To adf'ipiateiy finance the pro
glam the state would have to
uppro-pilate $1,5011,000 annually,”
Mi Cox said. "But it would pay
for itself, actually. A survey run

Mi. ( ox suggested increasing

"This would be easy to collect i
and would provide the state with
an annual, stable source of rev

"Aii additional annual fee of a
dollar on the 1,000,000 registered
motor vehicles in North Caro
lina would provide sufficient
funds to operate a functional
program of driver education for
the state," he said.
Mr. Cox pointed out that the i
state could get funds "by rais- i
ng the cost of driver licenses, i

and several years would pass he- i

Farmers Here May Plant New Coker Leaf
By Don .Matheson, County Farm Agent
In response to our request the
Coker Pedigreed Seed Company
sent us the following information
on the new Coker 187 variety of
tobacco. They suggest that since
this-variety does not make out
-st.anding ly high yields that a
farmer not plant his whole crop
to this new variety. It has been
yielding from five to ten |>er cent
higher than Hicks, or about like
Golden Harvest and 402, hut
about 25 per cent less than
Coker 139.
The Coker 187 which is being
released for the first time this
year is from a cross made in
949 of Golden Wilt and Oxford
-181. It grows with a rather dark
green color, and like the Golden
Wilt parent should he harvested
| when ripe and cured rather
quickly in the barn.
Disease Resistance
This variety has shown high
resistance to black shank and
fairly good resistance to Gran
ville wilt and to Fusarium wilt.
The black shank resistance is
even higher than Coker 139, and
has stood up well in our most
severely Infested. locations re
gardless of where planted. It
does not have as high resistance
to wilt as to black shank. How
ever, it has shown fairly good
resistance in our wilt nurseries
which are located on the most
1 severeh^infested srsss that we
bee, secretary of the Board ol
Trustees; the Rev. J. R. Manley
pastor of the church; Charlit
Maddox, chairman of the Boari
of Deacons, and Lewis Caldwell
secretary of the Board of Dea
cons.
Standing in front are deacons
[trustees, and others who wen
| active workers in the drive. Mem
I tiers of the choir are seen in tin
! background.
The campaign to raise money
for the new church was begun by
Mi. Manley when he became pas
tor ten years ago in Septembei
of when he was still a theol
ogy student at Shaw University
in Raleigh. Under his leadership
the congregation has grown
steadily until now it has 55(1
members. It had only 173 when
he became its pastor in 1946.
Mr. Manley and several mem
bers of his congregation are
prominent civic leaders in the
community. One of them, Hu
bert Robinson, is a member of
the Chapel Hill Hoard of Aider
men.

Yield and Duality
Tlie Coker 187 variety bas
produced yields of good quality,
tobacco above tbe older, .black
shank and wilt resistant varie
ties, but does not produce near
the yield that Coker 139 does.
In our tests for the past three i
'years, it bas averaged about 100
lbs. per acre higher than Hicks, 1
and about the same as Golden '
Harvest and 402. This has been
fairly constant wherever we have
tested this tobacco. It produces
a darker cured leaf with a mod
erately high nicotine content. In ]
general, it can be expected to i
cure out to a righ orange color. ;
This variety should not be over i
fertilized, especially on medium
heavy or heavy soils, since It
tends to grow with a dark green i
color anyway, and produces only
average to übove average yields.
Next to Coker 139, it produces
the fewest suckers of varieties
that we have had under test. i
Ease of Curing
This tobacco should be har
vested when ripe and cured some- I
what faster than most other :
standard varieties. We have ex
perienced no difficulty, however, i
in curing this tobacco. Under
average conditions It can be ex- i
pected to produce a leaf of highji
quality with a darker color than'i
