The James Kenan Tigers travel
led down to Swansbor0 this past

This tie with Swansboro coiild
Very well remind the James Kenan

The Point System Explained A
New Approach To Highway Safety
Here Is The Way The Point System Works
The B59 General Assembly put
into efrect a point system approach
to highway safety in which deme
nt points are charged against
those who drive dangerously. Such
a program aids the cause of high
way safety by helping to improve
those who drive dangerously, or
as a last resort - by removing
them from the reads until they are
willing to drive better. The good
driver of course, has no need ta
be worried about the point system,
because safe and intelligent driv
in" will not result in demerit
)3 -its.
Here Is The Way It Works
Each time a driver is convicted
fora moving traffic violation, the
North Carolina Department of
Motor Vehicles is notified. Upon
receipt of such a notice, the
drivei's record is charged with a
certain number 0f demerit points,
except that point are not assessed
for convictions resulting in sus
pensions or revocations under
other provisions of law. If a
driver's record reaches 12 points
within a 2-year period, his license
may be suspended. Of course, no
body wants this to happen-hot the
State and not the driver For this
reason, every effort is made to en
courage the driver to improve be
low it Is too late. This Is the way
it is done. If the re?ord reaches 4
points, the driver is sent a fetter
reminding him that his record is
beginning to reach the danger
point. Ifhe continues to violate
traffic laws and his record reaches
7 points, he may be called in for
an interview with an offical of the
Department. The purpose of such
an Interview is to try to find the
solution to the dangerous driving
habits of the driver, it is also pos
sible that the driver will be allow
ed to attend a 1rtver improvement
Clinic oprated by the Department
of Motor Vehicles, and upon suc
cessful completion of require
ments, 3 points will be 'amoved
from his record. If all else fails,
and the driver reaches 12 points,
his license may be suspended as
much as 80 days.

and engineering. Riddle explained

your license, but notifies a driver
when he is in the danger zone and
invites him te talk with a councilor.

"Foster homes help meet the
needs of children in many type of
situations", said Mrs. Taylor, coun
ty superintendent of public wel
fare, in commenting on this phase
of the child welfare services given
in this coun'
"Children a variety of cir:um
sances need foster care " she said,
situations where an infant is be
ing studied for adoption, a child
temporily placed out of the home
when the mother is m and there
are no relatives to care for the
child, children with behavior pro
blems, children with parents in
prison, and as O; August 12th a
child abandoned snd with no home.
. The Slai.OiiArd of Public Wel
fare licenses foster homes through
out the State. Currently there are
1,311 licensed homes. All of these
homes have been carefully stud
ied and the foster parents and the
home situation evaluated so that
safety, health and so-jial factors
assure the are and well-being
of the child. State and rnnntv
funds eombins to provide for this
care. In addition an allowance is
mae for clothing and medical
care.
Examples of situations jn which
foster home care is helpfully used
include children who are being
studied for adoption An infant is
placed in a foster home for three
or four months until the infant's
Physical and mental development
can be established. Some indica
tion of the best type of adoptive
home for. the child then can be
determined and a good placement
can confidently be expected.
Foster homes are used when a
mother becomes 111, the agency
had no available homemaker and
there is no one in the home who
can take over the care 0f the child
ren, in such a situation, if no re
lative can take the children, they
are placed in a foster home for
the temporary care needed. If
there are relatives and the situa
tion qualifies in terms of financial
need, the child can receive aid to
dependent children (ADC) grants
rather than foster home care. The
Federal government participates
heavily in the ADC grants but not
at all in the foster home cost.
Occasionally a child does not
adjust well in his own home and
becomes unmanageable. In some
of these situations foster home
care for a period of time tides the
child over the period of emotional
adjustment and tie can hea re
turn to his own home. The case
workers cf the county departments
of public welfare also work with
the parents of the child while the
child is in the foster home so that
any adjustments needed to im
prove the child's home situation
can be made and the child can re
turn. After almost every term of court
in this county there are chBcfren
whose parents have been sent to
prison and who must be cared for
in foster homes. Sometimes, also,
the courts determine that children
must be taken away from their
parents for the good of the child
ren. In these cases foster home
care is used to provide a home
