Traffic violators, beware — especially speeders and drunk drivers — for the State High way Patiol will be out in full force over the Thanksgiving holidays in an effort to re tard death and injury on the highways. The North Carolina State Motor Club has predicted twenty-six people will die on Tar Heel roads and streets during the Holiday period which extends from 6 p.m. November 22 through midnight November 26. The Patrol is looking to two detection devices — VASCAR and the Breathalyzer — to as sist in bringing the chronic violators to bay curing the long Thanksgiving period. Thanksgiving, 1966, was an especially destructive period in which there were 27 deaths, 497 non-fatal injuries and a total of 1,413 accidents on the highwavs Col. Charles A. Speed, com- rhanding the State Highway Patrol, points out that both of these instruments will be utilized to their fullest during the holiday. “We intend to do all within our power to materially re duce the number of predicted deaths and injuries for this holiday period,” Colonel Speed said. “We need this challenge.” This will be the first major holiday period in which the Patrol has had the opportuni ty to utilize the VASCAR units. The speed-timing device can detect speeders both going and coming, in relation to a patrol car. Major Guy points out the units will be scattered through out the state and will be in constant use throughout the holiday period. The Patrol has utilized the breathalyzer since Labor Day, 1966, and it has proven very effective in the handling of “driving under the influence cases There will be 69 units scat tered thzoughout the state.

Mr. Paules commended the small army of volunteers “for giving up a beautiful Saturday morning to get this civic task done.” He said that it was (Continued on Page 2) Thanksgiving Services Set Southern Pines churches will join this (Wednesday) evening in a union Thanks giving service to be held at 8 o’clock in Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church of which Dr. Julian Lake is minister.

S. 1 Addition Some property owners asked State Highway Department of ficials here Friday for a change in the proposed right of way of the planned two- lane addition to U. S. 1. Approximately 60 people at tended the public hearing held in the Municipal Center courtroom. The new road will run about five miles northward from the north edge of Southern Pines starting near the present in- terseption where U. S. 1 be comes a four-lane divided highway running south. The other road at that intersection is old U. S. 1 running through Manly and becoming May Street. The proposed right of way is still under study, a State Highway Department spokes man told the audience of ap proximately 60 property own ers, county and district high way officers, community lead ers and other interested peo ple. He was William Garrett of Raleigh, administrative as sistant to R. W. McGowan, who is assistant chief engineer for pre-construction for the State Highway Department. Near the end of the hearing, John F. McNair HI of Laurin- burg, state highway commis sioner for the Eighth Highway Division, told the audience that it would be six months “before anyone (owners of property on the proposed right of way) would be bothered.” The new road will make pre,sent U. S. 1 northward toward Vass a four-lane divid ed highway with a median. The northern terminus of the proposed new two-lane addition would be between 600 and 700 feet south of the Little River Bridge. A State Highway Depart ment spokesman said after the hearing the time of comple tion is not yet known but it would have to be within the next three years, the length of time remaining in the $300 million state road bond pro gram which started about two years ago. No federal funds are in the project. In reply to one question, Garrett said the addition of another two-lane section through Vass will be in anoth er project and is under study. One of the property owners, Rowland McElvare of Niagara Road, told the Highway Com mission representatives that proposed right of way would take a substantial cut into his property. He said his property is on the west side of the pro- (Continued on Page 8) Commissioners From 3 Counties Adopt Plan To Share Farm Agents The boards of county com missioners of Montgomery, Richmond and Moore counties have adopted a plan to share certain agricultural extension agents in the three-county area. Each county has agreed to provide one agent who will give expert advice to farmers in all three counties. Adoption of the three-coun ty arrangement was announc ed by Dr. George Hyatt Jr., di rector of the Agricultural Ex tension Service at North Caro lina State University. Dr. I^att predicted that the plan would “result in a more efficient use of extension agents and a more effective educational program.” “The whole purpose of the plan,” Hyatt explained, “is to permit agents to become more speciali?ed so they can come nearer meeting the needs of modern agriculture.” Counties in several other areas of North Carolina have worked out similar plans for sharing agents. The practice has worked out well, accord ing to Hyatt. Here are the assignments that have been worked out by state and county extension of fices and approved by local boards of commissioners: —Leon H. Harkins, an as sistant agricultural extension agent in Moore County, will 1 U.S. Team Receivefs Trophy In World Golf Tournament The four-man United States team accepts the Shun No mura Trophy on Saturday, after taking first place in the inaugural World Senior Amateur Golf Championship, played last week at the Pinehurst Country Club.
