provisions of a bill passed by the
1953 General Assembly in cases
where drivers are convicted of ex-
" ceedine the stated speed limit by

v This means that driving ia excess
of 60 miles per ,hour in a school
bus, 70 miles per hour in a passenger
car, or 60 mph in a truck would
'subject the driver to temporary loss
' of his license upon conviction. 1

As we approach the moon, it is

our ship which lands ' safely in

scape. Immediately, the .heavenly

protective plastic dome which cov

rises and bathes the crater walls

Accused Marine
Out Under Bond
On Rape Charge
-Corporal John Smith, 23 year old
Camp - LeJeune Marine, has been
released under a $1000 bail from
the Duplin County Jail, following
charges of raping a young Rose Hill
Secretary, Miss Frances Rogers, on
June 2B.
. The release was efteced following
a conference of the defendants law
yer, Henry Stevens, III, Judge H. A.
Phillips of the Recorder's Court.
Superior Court Judge Henry Stevens
and District Solicitor Walter Britt.
A habeas corpus proceeding was
not attempted.
Smith has maintained throughout
the investigation that he is in love
with the girl and wishes to marry
her. The victim told officials that
she didn't want "to hurt him" and
agreed to his release under bond.
Miss Rogers had known the man
only a short time, but Smith stated
that he had dated her several times
prior to the night when the alleged
assault took place on a country
road north of Rose Hill.
Speculation among Duplin County
Law Enforcement officers connect
ed -arith the case is that the charge
of rapS ynay be reduced to that of
assault on a female by the August

attended his press conference July

produced a sample copy of the
state's 1954 license plate, a colorful
black on yellow affair but with
a gimmick never before appearing
on state tags,.

the words "DRIVE SAFELY," re
placing the customary block letters,
North Carolina. The tag is identi
fied in the 1954 edition by the initi
als N. C. at the lower left and the
date at the lower right
The idea, the governor said is to
impress the motoring public with
the severity of the states highway
death toll.. By this constant remind
er the governor hopes that North
Carolina drivers will become more
safety conscious.
