LET'S HARE K" Duplin's ' S' A' yy One Section 12 Pages This Week Town "vr , t-.j.z .,: m i.winiM-iir, 1 ! Miii o . x -x'. j. a .OLUME y V . v NO. Ij- : 'V-'-- . "11,1 '-4 ' , j ' . , ' .; Editorial. An anti-whammy bill , North Carolina legislature by Lenoir County represen- tative Tom White. ; ' i 1 The bill is designed, if passed, to make use of the whammy and other eleqtrohic speed detectors useless to ' the Nprth Carolina Highway Patrol.- In affect, it means that" the speed maximum of 55 miles per hour-on the ' public highways of North Carolina "will be eliminated. ' . - White has stated that he desires that when the whammy or ,other electronic devices are used that one, 1 an expert be attached to each whammy for its opera . tionj; and two, those using the deVice be in full view of , JJie motorist; . - t This bill, it seems to us, has been presented with , out even a minimum amount of thought. We know, through personal experience, that once the car of a 1 Highway Patrolman is seen by a motorist the initial impulse is to slow down regardless of speed. For ex ample, we have been traveling on the open highway at a rate of speed less than the maximum allowed by law, see just the two cables across the highway used ' - in checking speed and automtaically we hit the brakes. t We have a theory and firmly believe in it, that the :. ' highway patrolmen of the state of North Carolina should have the privilege - motorists in order to catch them speeding. Common 4 sense tells us, that should this bill pass, it will handcuff t the efforts of the highway decreasing ine numoer oi iaxamies on our nignways ' earn day, month, and year. . We think the men of the highway patrol are in telligent and competent enough to set up and operate . the whammys and Other electronic devices which are used at present in checking speed of motorists. We would like to' suggest to Mr. White that if he 1 would like to do something constructive for the high way patrol that he use his knowledge and influence in getting a much needed salary raise for the men who " patrol our state highways in an effort to protect our lives. ' Paul Barwick SELLING COCA COLA OR A COMMUNITY TAKES CONSTANT ADVERTISING A feV days ago, we saw in a mail-order catalogue just the thing we wanted.; It was priced at only $4.95, -'postpaid; so we decided to send away 4ctf4kvBufcwhile walking down to the post office here in Fremont, we ppened to see the very same item in the window of Q .peal store on Main Street, priced at $4.00. y . ,Oi course we tore up the order we were going to ' send out of townC We were glad to save the 95 cents, . and just as glad to be able to patronize a local merchant. . But glad as we were, we didn't feel very cordial to ward that merchant. So far as we could tell, he had made absolutely no effort to let us or anyone else know that he could save us money by shopping with him. We wondered, too, how many bther people got their orders ' off for merchandise from out of town before they found that they could have bought it in Fremont for less. " We hear a lot about trading at home, and we be lieve in it. But the obligation here lies at least 60 per : cent .with the merchant, If he does nof advertise his business and his wares he has no basis for complaint v when Fremonters are Vsold" by the advertising of out- . of-town business places. So often, when they are approached about adver- tising we have heard merchants say such things as: "I've been here a long time. The people know me and know i " where I am. I don't need to advertise." But too many times that merchant has been so comfortable in the thought that people know him and are coming to him, .that he hasn't noticed the new store down the street that has a new stock is advertising and is drawing'the business. We might say that every man, woman, and child In the United States have heard of Coca Cola, just to pick a product at random.. But in every magazine 1 you pick up there is still an advertisement for Coca Cola; you see it several times as you go down a street and you hear it as often on radio. The. people who make ihat soft drink are well known, they know the fickleness, of the buying public, Jf .pec pie aren't reminded of you, they soon forget you. . ' It's the same story with'merchants or communities, ' There are some 'of our Goldsboro and Wilson mer- :. chants who are doing an effective job of selling them' selves, their businesses and advertising. And we are Sketch as a medium But ll you as a merchant are not are actuallynot living up sibility for helping to improve om community; ' IMITATION ' The loard of Trustees i , Duplin Genetal Hospital ? -r ! .- r , find .'- 'r'l'fi.
