Highway Being Built Through State Test Farm From East Street Liberated Speed Limit Of 35 Miles An Hour Still Unchanged There seems to be some misunderstanding locally re garding the speed limit, which a number of local citizens have , gotten the impression that the 30-mile war-time limit has been ordered lifted by Gover nor Cherry. While the subject has been discussed currently, a check up with the Waynesville city po lice department revealed that the department had received no notice of such a change and had it been ordered by the Governor, the personnel felt sure that they would have been notified at once. So there is, as yet, no alibi for traveling over 35 miles an hour. 111,1., tllHf.fi IMkJ Private Theodore T. Muse. Jr.. spent the week-end with his par ents at their home in the Ratcliff Cove.

This has Chief O. R. Roberts puzzled, for the chief can't understand why people who hate to part with their money, will still persist in violating the law and paying traffic fines. In the group of 69. who either parked improperly or parked over time, tnere were two second of fenders who had their cases brought before the mayor's court and had to pay $10 instead of the $1 for a first offense. "They want to save a dollar, but they still keep parking over time which is against the law," said Chief Roberts yesterday. Some of the excuses given by the offenders, according to Chief Roberts, were: "I didn't know the time." "I was under the drver in tho beauty parlor." "Why I simDlv didn't realirp T had been shopping an hour." "I simply forot about the law." "I certainly do hate to pay that dollar, but I bet I never have to pay another one for this reason."
