Highway Safety
Units Combined;
Ewell Shifted
To achieve greater efficiency in
the state's program of highway
safety, the Mo or Vehicles Depart
ment has announced a consolida
tion of two sub units of the High
way Safety Division and the trans
fer of its chief license examiner
iO another post
Under the direction of Major C.
V Speed, who has be?n running
the safety division since January
1, John Ewell, former chief license
examiner in Raleigh was transfer
red to Greenville as chief hearing
officer for highway patrol Troop A.
Ewell, one time director of the
ABC Board's Malt Beverage Di
vision, has been with the Motor
Vehicles Department since April
last year. To replace Ewell, Speed
selected 45-year-old Z. E. Helms,
former chief of the safety divis
ion's Driver Improvement Section.
Helms began his career with the
Motor Vehicles Department as a
license examiner and will be on
familiar ground in his new post.
He became chief'of the division's
driver improvement and education
branch in May, 1950. Helms also
has won several awards from the
American Automobile Association
for his work in pedestrian protec
tion. He is a native of Union
county and has been with DMV for
! 11 years.
Speed also announced the con
solidation o{ the accident records j
section with Helms' former sec
tion. Both units are to be headed
by statistician James E. Civils.
The changes were announced by
Speed as "purely administrative
changes to bring about a more
efficient statewide program of
highway safety."
The Driver Improvement Sec
tion, formerly bossed by Helms, 1
has a staff of 27 field representa
tives and is responsible for the
training of the state's school bus
drivers. The Accident Records
Section, staffed largely with cleri- -
eal and administrative help, keeps
close tabs on highway accidents.

Why Mercurys New Boll-Joint g,:n?
you easier, safer control on cuiiel
Rail-joint front wheel suspension is the
newest, most advanced method known to
engineers of connecting the front wheels to
the chassis.
Instead of stiff "double-hinge" kingpins?
used by all other ears in its price class ?
Mercury uses ball-and-sockct joints, much
like those used on rearvicw mirrors, to permit
unrestricted movement in all directions.
They result in virtually friction-free front
wheel motion, up and down over humps,
bark anil forth around corners. There's no
binding or sticking. You have matchless
hug-the-road stability on curves, easier steer
ing, liner control at all times.
Ami this is just one of the new 19.ll
features waiting for you to See or try. There's
ail entirely new 161-horsepower, overhead
valve V-8 engine, a complete line of optional
power features, new styling front and back,
and a wide selection ofstunning new interiors.
And there's the revolutionary new Mercury
Sun Valley?America's first transparent-top
production car.
There's quite a show going on at our
showroom. Why not drop around?
