These teenagers were committing a felony, that of 'Drag Racing.' Involved were 12 teen agers and one minor in five cars. Luckily all were apprehended. Had they not been caught and saved from this mad race, many of them might not be living today. These boys will stand trial and justice will be dealt but will that be the end to drag racing? It is the concern of everybody to try and help these teenagers from destroyingsthemselves and others. High ways are only as safe as we make them and allowing our young folks to ruh at top speed will cut the safety of the highways and endanger the lives of those who must travel the roads. No drag race is worth the cost of even one life. It would be to the good of everyone to practice the North Carolina slogan, 'Drive Safely.' It is the wish of everyone to live, but unless we come to our senses and drive within the speed limits none of us will have the assurance of arriving safely at our destination. Reports are that not only drag racing is creating a ' t- i. -1-1 - . i . j j menace out puunc property is oeing tampered wim, such as reversing road signs and knocking down mull boxes. Such vandalism is creating a cost to the ppopl and the state. This should, definitely be stooned. X feel that the curbing of such acts should be started at the homes of the guilty parties and then jf need ,re lt the enforcement officers step in andtseethat justice is administered. . ' PRICE TEN CENTS Of Dimes Completed In a supper meeting last Thursdav' night, the Duplin County March of Dimes Committee heard the finan. cial report of the County Chapter and began immediate plans for tie county wide drive which is now on. The group proceeded over to the Duplin County Agriculture building where they were shown a movie of the different polio centers through out the United States. As in a previous report in this paper the County has received a check for $700 from National head quarters. This amount has already been paid out on polio patient care, leaving unpaid bills amounting to $303.00." It is urgent that the residents of Duplin County contribute as much as possible to the drive. All money collected will be divided with half the arrount being kept in Duplin County. The other half will be for--war'e-d to the National Foundation for research and other necessary ex-., penses. . - Polio has not been licked but with the Salk vaccine we feel that we are closer to prevention, of the crip pling disease. . .
