Actually, any program for safe holiday driving touches on all the points emphasized in the traffic saf ety program of other months. The difference then is not to be found in the rules of safe driving involved, but in the attitude of holiday travelers. . : Take Labor Day last year when highway deaths al most exactly doubled over the three day period. Eigh teen died, hundreds were iniured. And this Labor Day will be as 'bad, or worse, unless , . . but why say it? The increase in fatalities was due in part to heavier traffic, of course, but the real cause insists the State Depart ment of Motor Vehicles lies in the driving attitudes of motorists .' ' "A straight, level, dry road . . .'good driving con ditions . . how could it have happened? is always the question asked after the puzzling tragedy of an acci dent. Often the, cause is, never really determined, but an "it can't happen to me" attitude is the answer to most highway mishaps . But it can happen to you! Death shows no consid eration for drivers who don't care about their own saf ety, let alone, that of anyone else. Trying to stretch a holiday beyond its limits, for example, is one fatal attitude. Driving when fatigued, driving after drinking, and speeding are others. You literally face a "grave danger" with such combinations. But motorists never seem to realizeit until it's too late. . , ..' WejCdn do without such gamblers on the hiehwavs ol North Carolina. t , The holiday.:driver's .good sense and soirit of per sonal resjiisibility is our chief hope for a fatality free uawi i-ajr. jci. a give u uy. .

IN WARSAW North Carolina Travel Industry was the subject used by Mrs. J. P. Harmon for the B. P. W. meeting on Monday Night, It was shown that travel is one of North Caro lina's major industries and an im portant source of public revenue. Because North Carolina's travel attractions are not confined to its widely known mountains and bea ches, but are present in varying ex tent throughout the State, the say ing that Travel Is everybody's business" is 100 descripive. The State Travel Bureau has es timated the number of travelers in 1956 at 10 million and the direct income from travelers that ' year at $183,900,000.. Besides' the Initial cash to hotels, motels, restuarants and service stations travel dollars are reflected in income of retail merchants', service trades and oth r businesses.

Taylor added, "we do not know much about our opening date opponent" 1956-57 yielded $5,150,158. That same year the gasoline taxes yiel ded 181,154,880. North Carolina's 70,000 mile highway system provides easy access to all its areas- mountains, beaches and mid-south year-round attraction. iPinehutbt, Southern Pines, Tryon and Sedgefield claim the spotlight with golf and riding.

There are 19 of them in North Carolina and more than 150, 000 viitors from half the states. In vestment in these plants exceed $25,000,000. There are nearly 100 summer camps for boys and girls that at tract more than 6,000 children from all over the United States bringing with them sums of mon ey.

Come Get A Prize North Carolina Bankers Associa tion as Duplin County Key Banker During 1957, the state's banks mai ntained their leadership -in agri cultural credit services. Based on the seventeenth annu al farm lending summary of the Agricultural Commission of thj American Rankers Association Mr. Thompson reported that 'a the beginning of the year, North Carolina bankers were helping fa' mers. with $69,070,000 in loans.

It can be seen from these fig ( on tinned an back) by William J, Jasper, Assistant County Agent Good health practice damands that d!d livestolk anl poul try be properly disposed of. Also, State law requires that all dead poultry and livestock be either bu rie nr burned as a healtrful and sanitary means of disposal. ; , As the concentration of poultry increases more and more in this county, the number of dead and sick fowl are also increasing, thus causing an intense dispoal problem. Unless property handled birds that die are a constant menance to the health of one's own flock and to neighboring flocks. If dead birds are lying around the poultry house: flies, rats, wild birds and dogs can easily get to the ;arcass and "spread the disease throughout a wide area Since disease can he very cos ly to u poultry enterprise ilw ill p?y farmers to do everytning that is possibile to prevent di.rase spreici A healthy f'ock can f ,;ily beccni endangered by a dicase outbre iK brcaus( ptiphboring brds are left lying around poultry houses, in ditches and along the roadside. Therefore, it is to lie Dune fit of a community and the coun'y j as a whole to properly dispose of dead birds to prevent further sp-1 read of a disease On every poultry farm the-e al ways will be buds that are or at pear to be sick. The econom'c v lue of the individual bird may be slight, but an ailing bird may be a threat to the entire flock In most cases it will also pay to des troy tne sick individuals at first sight and then properly dispose of the carcass. Some people are reluctant to dispose of these sick birds until they either die or ca use spread of the disease in the flock, thus a well constructed dis posal pit provides and excellent and convenient means of disposing of sick and dead poultry. A good disposal pit consists of essentially a hole in the ground with a well constructed water and air-tight co ver. Material to construct the pit can be mound on any farm and such a pit can be easily set up in a half day. Caution must be ta ken that the pit not be located too near the farm water supply.

I see by the papers where the Horse end Mule Association of America Is predicting that In an other five year there wont be no mules left to the country. The trouble, this piece says, goes back to the jackass, father of the mule. There aint enough jack asses In the country,! It says, to keep the mule family moving, to otber words. Mister Editor, the jackass situation is facing a na tional crisis. I remember few year back when Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon and ' Senator Sherman Cooper of Kentucky called, a con- nrenoa In WB4hlnirtAn nn ,tHU aantie , situation Thty baa bad a ot of . jackass etanfekencest ? la Wssblngton but ths . w s the fim time they ever bad the gen uine article. I dunt recall bow the conference come out, but 1 ee where th'r-1 ss gone worse ( !-T t r Yries me tin T that the h cSsrst. their party emblem from the mule to the Fordson tractor come the election in 1950. It shore looks like the cuntry is on the brink of disaster on account of the sho tage of jackasses. I never thought I.d live to see it. .The fellers up at the country store Saturday night was argu ing about a picture one of them saw in a magazine of a pre'ty girl setting down in some soft clay to git her contours fer making a comfortable chair. About half the fellers said it wouldn't work on account of no two peple bad the same rear axle measurements and that a chair that wuld fit a good looking gal might be torture fer a broad-axled farmer used- to spread Ing out In a tractor seat all year. I argued that feller could git his rear axle measurements cod ed like they type blood end then the furniture manufacturers could make chairs fer all types. If you was a skinny old maid with a nar row axle you could go In and call fer a chair A -J, or A-S depending on the situation. If you' was of more comfortable proportlns you could call fer a chair DD4. or somepun. I'm postive they'll hit on " something sooner or latere becaus . up to . now one of the greatest draw-backs to the human r-e 1 that In 8,00 year we aint invented comfortable chair. .
