Farming And Home Making Are 'Big Business' Today Home business centers are be coming more popular In rural homes these days, because rural men and women are realizing that farming and home making are "big business' and have to be run in a business-like way in order to gain the greatest efficiency and economy of time, money, and energy. Home demonstration club women are doing their part by studying means of setting up home business centers in their home demonstration club meet ings. According' to reports from Orange County's home agent, Miss Jessie Trowbridge, some of the men in the county are going to be surprised when they wake up Christmas morning. Instead of socks and ties, they're going to find filing cabinets under the tree. Or, at least, that's what some of the home demonstration club members are saying. Miss Trow bridge says that when the women at club meetings last month were asked the question, "Where do you keep your bills, receipts, in surance policies, and other im portant papers?", the answers ranged from the "cake box" to "a lock box". . In the demonstration that fol lowed. club members were shown i how simple business centers could be set up In their homes, whether in the kitchen, family room, or other convenient places. There are already some out' standing home business centers In Orange County. For example, the Wyatt Phelps family, Cedar Grove, has a built-in business center In their family room. A pull-out lamp is to be installed, and Mrs. Phelps plans to refinish an old chair to use at the center. Mrs. Wiley Perry, Route 2 Mebane, has wanted a new kitchen in place of her long, narrow one for a long time. She row has <i dining room-kitchen which leaves the old room from which to make an ideal home business center for Mr. Perry. AGENT RECOGNIZED J. L.

State officials, legis lators. and liability insurance men from the Atlantic to the Pacific have their eyes on North Carolina this winter, according to letters | and other information reaching S the State Department of Motor I Vehicles. Their interest is this state's I success, or failure, in the adnftn { istration of its new "compulsory automobile liability insurance i law," which becomes effective 1 Jan. 1. They also want to know the North Carolina motorists' re action when they buy their li cense plates in January and Feb 1 ruary. "Though our law is quite simi lar to that which went into ef fect in New York this year," Com missioner Edward Scheldt said, "and though New York officials and the New York public seem pleased with results there, I be lieve that most of the states are more interested in what will hap pen in North Carolina than in what has happened, and is hap Continued From Editorial Paee No. 1 be true, half the population of the United States lives within that distance of the Great Smokies. ?More than 41 per cent of the travel in the park was by peo ple from Tennessee and North Carolina, which of course is understandable. Louisiana people supplied 1.45 per cent of the vehicles In the Great Smokies, which puts the state in llth position in the na tion, which indicates, I think, the esteem we lowlanders have for those glorious hills. While there is a year-round flow of tourists to the Great Smokies, the studies indicate j that 64 per cent of the visitors to the park come during the three vacation months. And the average passenger load per ve hicle was 3.69. As a frequent visitor to the Smokies, I've noted that without benefit of statistics. Barely a car climbs to Newfound Gap or rides the crest to Clingman's Dome with only a couple in it. Usually, there's at least one youngster along with the parents. ?f-fave yott Aeceweoi tjOU/U-? pP*IF YOU HAVE . . . that you are a Nationwide pollcy-holde and your auto Insurance meets all requirements ot me new financial Responsibility Law*.

MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY HOME OFFICE ? COLUMBUS, OHIO * To get your 1958 auto license, you must prove financial responsibility either by liability insurance or by posting securities. penlng. in New York. Our problem is nearer the average than that of New York." Mr. Scheldt explained that whereas approximately 90 per cent ol the New York automobile owners carried liability insurance before their law became effective, only about 65 per cent of North Carolina car and truck owners have such policies. The national average is estimated at 75 per cent. Moreover. North Carolina is the first rural state to enact the com pulsory insurance law. In fact it is only the third state in the union to pass such legislation. The first was Massachusetts more than 30 years ago. But there the minimum required policy is a "bobtailed" version which afford much less protection than others. The New York law became effec tive the first of 1957 while the North Carolina law becomes effec tive in 1958. "Many believe that it will be more difficult to explain this type of law in a rural or semi-rural state, .such as North Carolina, than it has been in New York." Mr. Scheldt said. "Others contend that to make the jump, from 65 per cent Insured to 100 per cent will be much more difficult than the jump from 90 to 100 per cent as in New York. Whether or not these opinions are correct, we are not yet ready to say. But there is no doubt that the spotlight will be on North Carolina when our law goes into effect on Jan. 1. As he has said before, Mr. Scheldt insisted that the act is not actually a "compulsory auto mobile liability insurance law." By posting $11,000 in cash or a $15, 000 bond, or by operating a fleet of more than 25 vehicles, the owners can avoid the insurance requirements. But the same also | is true in New York: and Mr. ? Scheldt admitted that to all. in tents and purposes North Caro lina now has compulsory insur ance. That means that almost no in ' dividual owner of an automobile or truck can buy his 1958 license i plate until he has liability insur j ance and presents a certificate of i insurance along with the $11 his plate will cost. It also means that around a half-million North Car olina car owners who never car ried liability insurance before must buy it this year ? or after Feb. 15 they must park their cars. .
