'Selective Enforcement' Seeks To Combat Toll Of Deaths On Highways In an effort to reduce the death toll on North Carolina highways, the State Highway Patrol Is engaged, here and throughout North Carolina, in a "selective enforcement program". The number of 1959 deaths from highway accidents is already about 100 greater than it was at this time last year. Patrolman H. T. Ferguson explained here this week. Each week, special emphasis is being put on one of the eight major causes of accidents. Mr. Ferguson listed those eight chief causes as: Failing to heed stop signs; im proper passing; drunk driving; operating on the wrong (left) side of highway; failure to yield right-of-way; speeding; following another vehicle too closely; and violations of highway regulations by pedestrian. The program, which got under way September 21, this week is laying stress on Cause No. 6 ? speeding. That violation alone, Mr. Ferguson said, is responsible for nearly half ? 45 per cent ? of thet fatal accidents on North Carolina highways. Next week,' the emphasis will be on following too closely. That violation, Mr. Ferguson added, accounted for 10 per cent of all accidents last year. The following week will be de voted to pedestrian violations. Three per cent of the death- pro ducing accidents in rural areas of the state are attributed to failure of pedestrians to observe the rules. Last year. 229 pedestrians were killed.

By George Leinwall Field Representative The Social Security benefits payable to a farm worker and , his family in the future depend j upon the amount of wages credited each year to the worker's personal Social Security account. I It is the farm employer's respon sibility to file a Social Security report of the wages of any worker who Is paid $150 or more cash in a year, or who worked for him on 20 days or more during the year on a time basis. But. It is up to the farm worker to see that his wages are being properly reported. One way a farm worker can be certain his Social Security ac count Is growing year by year is by making sure his employer has his correct Social Security num ber. He should also get In touch with the nearest Social Security office every three years in order to check the amount of wages being credited to his Social Secur ity record. If a worker has never had a Social Security number, or has lost it, he may get a new number or a duplicate of his old Social Security card by filling out an application at the nearest post office or Social Security office. If a woman worker has changed her name through marriage since she got her Social Security card, she should apply for a duplicate card showing her married name.
