Complete with arrow, the ign stands at the first stoplight beyond Waynesville and in large li tters says: "Main Street Hazel wood, N. C." The decision to erect the sign was made by the Board of Hazel wood in the belief that the regu lar highway sign was insufficient to make known the presence of the town. 1 Pvt.

Every stop sign or speed limit posted is but there to warn you of danger. If a curve is so en gineered that 25 miles an hour is a safe speed around it, you are gambling with your life', and prob ably others, if you take it at 45." Following tne vision and sign tests, you take your only written examination. Three different ones are available, and Mr. Hooper tries to select one that will do you most good, If you are an experienced driver, you may have let yourself get rusty on such points as-what speed is required in a school zone. If you are a beginner, you have probably studied the manual care fully, but do you know what to do if you start skidding down an icy hill? Whnn flip Dvaminpr ic csllcfinrl ' that you know in theory how to drive safely, he takes you out f or your road test. Now is the time when the beginners get so excited they forget to use all those hand signals, and the experts relax con fidently and forget to signal tod. One man who had had a license since one was first required back in? 1935 needed eight road tests before he passed. He had gotten into some Slipshod driving habits, and it took him several weeks to train himself to better ones! By the time you signal for your stop at the Court House, you have had a "refresher course" in driv ing. Even if you breeze through, Mr. Hooper may suggest ways to make your driving just a little smoother, "Before you hit a curve is the time to get lined up for it. If you're practically on the center line as you approach, you'll have some breathless moments it the fellow coming toward you is as careless a driver as you." Mr. Hooper has had a few Primitive Tribe Meets White Men DARWIN (API A completely walled-in village Inhabited by prim itive tribesmen, who had never seen a white man before, has been discovered by a Dutch patrol deep in the Dutch New Guinea jungle. The story of the discovery was fold by the Chief Justice of Dutch New Guinea, Dr. Bernard Damen, who visited Darwin recently. Dr. Damen said the village had been built into a fortress against hos tile tribesmen, and the patrolmen had to crawl, singly through a small hole in the wall. The astonished tribesmen ad vanced on them in a threatening manner with spears and bows and arrows. Patrol-leader Den Haam calmed the villagers by singing them some native peace songs, and then gradually won their confid ence by giving them presents. breathless moments himself In giving the tests. In one week "don't know why that was such a bad one" he was the passenger In three accidents. "And we hit the same telephone pole twice! . . . I don't even go near that street any more." Backing up is thu dif ficulty for most people "They get started all right but then they stop watching where they're going . . . I can't imagine why they're so in terested in where they've just been." . . .. your road test over, you pull in behind the Court House and thank fully cut the switch and put on the brake. "Always leave your car in gear," reminds Mr. Hooper, "particularly around here, where you're more apt than not to be parked on a hill." Along with a few friendly bits of advice, Mr, Hoop er reassures you that your driving is good enough to entitle you to a license or he recommends that you practice further on handling the clutch or whatever difficulty has kept you from passing. "Be glad you are not the man in an other county that I tested several years ago," he grins. "After we'd driven around town a while, I knew he'd made too many errors to pass. So when wc got to the road that turned off to his place, I told him 'I'm sorry, but you can't qual if y for a license until you have had more practice. You can stop here and let me out and I'll walk back.' The man gulped. 'You just show me how to stop and I'll get out and walk with you!'
