Feels Concerning The Re-Issuance
Of Driver Licenses
-v In accordance with the law passed by the 1947 Gen
eral Assembly of North Carolina requiring the re-issuance
of Motor Vehicle driver licenses, the following
: schedule has been made: the period beginning July 1,
1947, and ending on December 31, 1947, is the time for
all driver license holders, whose sur-names begin with
the letters A or B to apply for new licenses. Persons
whose names do not begin with one of the above letters
cannot apply for re-issuance of license in this period.
'" The period beginning January 1, 1948, and ending
on June 30, 1948, will be the time for all operators whose
sur-names begin with either of the letters C or D to
apply for re-issuance of licenses. All Motor Cehicle dri
vers whose sur-names begin with a letter other than A,
B, C or D will be notified by press releases at the prop
er time as to wnen tney snouid appear for the re-examination.
The operator's license issued under the 1947 Safe
ty Act shall automatically expire on the birthday of
the licensee in the fourth year following the year of
jssuance, and no license shall be issued to any operator
after the expiration of his license until such operator
has again passed the reauired examination.
Everyone will get a complete examination. The ex
amination is made up of four parts. These parts are:
(1) An Eye test (2) Highway Sign test (3) Driving
Rules test (4) Road test.
-The poorest visual reading that will permit oassine
wim glasses is 20-50. This may be with both eyes to-
gether, or it may be with best eye alone. The Sign test
consists of the showing to the applicant several pictures
. containing Highway Warning signs. The applicant wiU
be requested to tell what a driver should do when he
comes to such a sign. Inability to read is not grounds
for denying a driver license. The Rule section of the ex
amination consists of twenty-five simple questions that
deal with the safe operation of a mot&r vehicle. The
Road test will consist of a drive of some twelve to fifteen
city diocks. in the past some applicants1 have begun
luau wiui. me understanding tnat the Examiner
would tell him to pass red lights, exceed speed limits,
and otherwise drive improperly. This, however, has not
been the policy in North Carolina nor will it be during
this re-issuance. . - '
Previous practices governing the issuance -and use
of Learners Permits will not be changed The onlv
change that will occur with respect to fees charged will
be the increase in the cost of an operator's license from
one to two dollars.

; On December 7, 1941 the Red
Cross in Duplin County was an
active and grawing concern. It was
organized in 1914 during the World
War I period and because of the
depression and need for Red Cross
clothing in Duplin County, the
chapter was reorganized in Aug
ust 1932. Mr. J. E. Jerritt of Ke
nansville was made chairman, ,
which ofice he has held continu
ously since that date. Mrs. Inez C.
Boney was secretary. This office
was held by her until November
1943. From December 7. 1941 until
November 1, 1943, Mrs. Inez C.

have, gave part time each day

with the fund-raising campaigns
and organized production oorpj in
every section of the county. Files
were set up keeping the .lata of
cases handled.
November 1, 1943, Mrs. George
Strang became the first full-line'
paid worker in the Duplin County
Chapter, with headquarters jn the
Welfare Bui'ding in' Kenansville.
She served in a most gracious man

encouraged the work tn every way
she could and organized the Camp
and Hospital Council.
. When Mrs. Strang resigned, Mrs.
N. B. Boney was appointed to the
position as Executive Secretary
with Home Service duties. The
work of the chapter increased to
such a degree that in July 1943 a
part-time stenographer was added
to the staff. Again during this ex
treme busy period, Mrs. Inez C
Boney and the Welfare Office
Force did much volunteer work
and continued to stand ready at
all times for service.
This being a rural county, the
outstanding activity has been Home
Service. However, the production1
corps, and Camp & Hospital Coun
cil have been quite active. We had
many nutrition, First Aid and
Home Nursing classes in the var
ious local units. The Junior Red
Cross has been most active since
1932. Mrs. N. B. Boney served as
Junior Red Cross Director from
1932 until 1943. Mr. O. P. Johnson
served in 1943-44. During this per
iod 100 of our colored and white
schools were enrolled. Mrs. George
Bennett has served since 1944. The
work continues to hold the inter
est of the schools. Several hundred
educational boxes were sent over
seas. Many products have been fur
nished the Camp & Hospital Coun
cil by the Juniors.
The biggest and most concentra
ted production done was during the
years 1942 and 1943, however, these
tabulated records have-been mis
placed. The production corps made,
labeled, packed and shipped the
following supfies beginning April
1943 through May 1946:

Warsaw Red Sox. the hot fiH

The Sox olaved. according tn thw
writer's opinion, their best game,
of the season Friday nite, when the
locals doubled the score on the

; Much credit for the amount of
work is due to Mrs. R. E. Wall of
Warsaw who was production chair
man. Upon her resignation, Mrs.
Henry Stevens, Jr., of Warsaw was
appointed chairman and she carried
on most cheerfully.' Both of these
chairmen were given splendid co
operation by the local units in the
county set-up. The Faison unit ex
celled in amount of knitting; Wal
lace unit excelled with kit-bags,
while the Rose Hill and Kenans
ville units cooperated in over-all
participation.
Dr. ustav Ulrich of Seven Springs
RFD, was Fund-Raising Campaign
Manager for tins war period, during
which time our contributions were:
1942 $2,895.92; 1943 $7,000.00;
1944 $15,082.17; 1946 $14,663.34;
and 1946 $8,276.67. . -
Mr. Ulrich received the full co
operation of all local units. M. F,
Allen, Jr., served as Chapter Treas
urer from June 1943 until the
present time. During his services
for 12 months with the Merchant
Marine, Mr. F. W. McGowan filled
his place.
For the past five years 6,444
cases were serviced with grants or
lens made in the amount of $4,
168.66. Our organization has run smoth
ly and effect ivcly largely due to the
wonderful spirit of the chairman,
J. E. Jerntt. who has worked will
ingly throughout this entire period.
