Damage to both vehicles, driven by the two men, would cost $300 to $400 each, the officer estimated. State Highway Patrol Corporal fc. W. Jones and a wrecker from Canton reached the scene of the WTeck only 10 minutes after Pa trolman Dayton summoned them. An hour and 35 minutes later. Patrolman Dayton was Investigat ing the second collision, which happened near Queen's Tourist Farm on Highway 19. He gave these details: A 1947 Ford sedan driven by Mrs. Catherine Moody McCrary, 25-year-old Waynesville housewife, collided with the left rear of a 1941 Ford coach Glenn R. Baker of Dayton, Ohio, accompanied by his wife and child. was backing up his coach to get in position to enter the tourist farm driveway when the collision oc curred. Fenders of both cars were badly damaged. Generally, officers considered the week-end results as everything from "excellent" to "lucky." Police Chief Orville Noland of Waynesville estimated that, from early Friday evening to about 10 p. m. Monday, cars and trucks were passing through Waynesville at the rate of about 400 per hour. The peak, he said, came appar ently Sunday afternoon, but the traffic was nearly as heavy all through Monday. As early as 5 p. m. Sunday, near ly every hotel, tourist court, and rooming house from the Buncombe ; County line to Soco Gap had "No t Vacancy" signs up, and many travellers spent the night in their cars hy roadsides or at picnic spots.

They made notes on a mimeo graphed sheet, left it in the office, then climbed the stairs to examine the second floor and the offices there. One of the many buildings they inspected in Waynesville that im pressed them particularly was the Haywood County Court House. "That's the cleanest court house I've seen," Mr. Lewis observed, "and I've inspected about a dozen of them in the state." By the end of the -day, the 20 men who made up the teams of two inspectors each had examined the rest of the buildings in Waynes ville and Hazelwood, and the next THE OLD HOME TOWN STANLEY sC T n'r w V HOT SOM,To BE STUP'Et AMO - BUT 1 p 831hUN OUI9 CL.UB ROOMS " y HAVE MY TTTT--JST- r- P r"pSENTXTtX C J (iN S SPEECH ALU "': c. a-tew cm Afeotxt to aisia out a.

"We hope," he added, "to build this annual program into a community-wide feature, with the com munity as a whole feeling respon sibility for its support." Half of tne net proceeds from the events that featured the pro gram will be donated by the club to the high school band. Hundreds more heard the Rev. M. R. Williamson, pastor of the Waynesville Presbyterian church, preach the Independence Day ser mon Sunday night at union servi ces. During the climaxing events of the program Monday, Dan Arling ton, 73-year-old Saunook man, cap tured the top prize in the hog rifle shoot. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Muse of Aliens Creek were honored as the couple among the spectators who had been married the longest, and 76-year-old Dave Green of Waynes ville won a prize for being the oldest spectator. Besides these, there were crack er-eating and banana-eating con tests, and boys' and girls' athletic events directed by Coach C. E. Weatherby and Assistant Coach Carl Ratclifle of Waynesville High. Most popular 'feature for the youngsters was the pony ring. They formed almost continuous lines, waiting patiently with their par ents, for their turn to ride the quiet little horses. At Lake Junaluska, a large con gregation filled the new Memorial chapel Sunday morning for its opening service. On Monday, about 2,000 people saw the swimming and boat races and contests on the lake. That night, nearly as many heard Fed eral Judge John J. Parker of Char lotte make an Independence Day address, and later saw the tradi tional, brilliant fireworks display at the Cross light up the warm night air. Community picnics also were popular during the long week-end. On Friday night, approximately 150 people attended the Lower Crab- tree Community Development Pro gram picnic at the Riverside com munity church.

Davis' farm. On Saturday night, the Francis Cove people bought 17' 2 gallons of ice cream at the Francis Cove Church ice cream supper. Most Road Mishaps Laid To Stupidity MINNEAPOLIS (UPl The stu pid, the rude and the drinkers cause most of the highway traffic accidents in the nation, according to a survey by Northwestern Na tional Life Insurance Co. More than 24,000 deaths a year, or three-fourths of all highway fatalities, stem from the three types, the company said. And it's the stupid group the "dimwits," according to the company who are far in the lead among the three. Results were based on 1946, 1947 and 1948 records. The major group totals 44 per cent, of which 32 per cent are driv ers and 12 per cent adult pedes trians. "Thus pretty close to half of our annual traffic death toll results from failures by driver or pedes trian to use common sense," the company said. Bad manners, such as road hog ging and jumping the gun when the other fellow has the right of way, cause another 15 per cent of the fatalities. And statisticians estimate that another 15 per cent of the traffic deaths are due to alcohol. MOSE ABOUT Fire Inspection (Continued from page one) the occurrence of fires, and the spreading of the blaze if it does occur. Mr. Cheshire said the "main thing we hope to accomplish is to make people conscious of the ever present danger of fire and the need for maintaining safeguards con stantly." Members of the Stock Fire In surance Field Club of North Caro lina, which also comprises the bulk of the membership of the Preven tion Association, will hold their monthly business meeting at 2 p. m. at the Elks Lodge in Waynes ville. The chairman of the club is George H. Porter, Jr., of Charlotte. Approximately 30 members were in Waynesville for the meeting, which was scheduled in conjunc tion with the inspections. Mr. Rushing said all the men enjoyed their stay here. "The courtesies we received were particularly agreeable," he said, adding with a grin: "Especially yesterday afternoon, when most of them took the after noon off and played golf at the country ciuo.
