RACES AT
CONCORD
The four local drivers show
ed up pretty good Saturday
night at Concord, Carl Rich
ard Reeves and Buck Cbnnell
both came in in the money
bracket. Jerry Waller spun
all the way around and was
' coming around backwards
when another car hit him in
the front. He has a little dam
age but not too bad. David
Shorty Nichols found an op
ening in one race and passed
several cars, then he got
sideways for several yards and
lost the ground he had gain
ed. Hie track was a little
rough Saturday night and this
made the cars hard to handle,
especially coming out of the
(urns. The boys say they will
be ready again Saturday night
for another round. These driv
ers are all in the 6-cylinder
, engine class, and they all have
to go by the track rules, so
far this season they have all
been in there trying.

SSO Fine For
Failure To Have
Car Inspected
Failure to observe the dead
line for having automobiles
inspected is bringing fines to
more and more motorists
throughout North Carolina, ac
cording to officials at the De
partment of Motor Vehicles.
The deadline for having a
car ispected is midnight on the
last day of the month that is
punched on the windshield
sticker. Drivers who have not
taken notice of their inspect
ion deadline are subject to
fines up to $50.00 and court
costs.
"Many people arc neglect
ing to consult the sticker and
are being fined for violations
when the yallow their cors
to run over the deadline," said
Roger Parker, Inspection Ad
ministrator. "Some think they
are still having their cars in
spected by the last digit on
their license plate and others
say they expect the depart
ment to notify them in ad
vance of the expiration date,"
Parker added.
In both cases the driver of
a car with an expired sticker
may be due for a day in court.
When he is caught with an ex
pired sticker he will be given
a citation which will probably
result in a fine.
Last year the date for the
first inspection was determin
ed by the last digit on the
license plate. But this was
done in order to stagger the in
spection dates so that every
one would not have to have his
car examind at the same time.
Now, the lone factor determin
ing the inspection date is on
the windshield of the car.
"We can't notify every driv
er of his own responsibility,"
Parker said. "Each driver must
take it upon himself to glance
at the sticker on his windshield
In doing so, he may save him
self a combination of time,
trouble and money."
Parker noted that some peo
ple apparently are not aware
that they can have their ve
hicles inspected at any time
prior to their deadline. He
suggested that those whose ve
hicles are due a second in
spection by May 31 may avoid
a last minute rush by having
their cars examined during the
remainder of April and early
May.
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Mil
holen and daughter, Kimber
ly, and Don Foster of Day
tona Beach, Florida were here
over the week - end visiting
their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Guy Foster and also to at
end the wedding of their nep
hew, Ronnie Beard. Kimberly
was a flower girl in the wed
ding. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mil
holen of Siler City returned
to Florida with them on Mon
day to spend some time.

Pres. Launches
Library Week
New York, April 14 —ld
entifying libraries with "our
national effort to bring edu
cation to all citizens," Presi
dent Lyndon B. Johnson, in
a White House statement re
leased today, officially laun
ched the Tenth Anniversary
jbssrvance of the National Li
brary Week Program (April
16-22).
The complete text of the
President's message follows:
"A library is far more than
a collection of information. It
is a reservoir of man's spirit,
through which we preserve
and perpetuate the dreams and
the achievements of humani
ty.
"It sustains our national ef
fort to bring education to all
citizens. It encourages new di
mensions of thought and un
derstanding. It launches young
minds on their first voyages
through the vast sea of know
ledge.
"Libraries throughout Ame
rica deserve our use and our
support. I hope that the ob
servance of National Libra
ry Week will help to remind
all of us of the value of these
fine institutions where our
greatest treasure— knowledge
—is free for all to enjoy."
With the dual themes, "'Ex
plore Inner Space Read"
and "Reading Is What's Hap
pening," the 1967 NLW effort
is concentrating on the needs
of all individuals, and especi
ally the yoxmg, for total ac
cess to reading for a variety
of purposes, as a counter-bal
ance in meeting the demands
created by a technological so
ciety. Effective recruitment,
education and placement of li
brary "manpower" to help
offset critical shortages of pro
fessional librarians in the no
tion's libraries is also being
stressed by the fifty-state-wide
campaign.
The year-round National Li
brary Week program "for a
better-read, better - informed
America" is sponsored by the
National Book Committee in
cooperation with the Ameri
can Library Association. The
Committee is an independent,
non-profit association of citi
zens reflecting the public in
barest in the literary arts, the
freedom to read, and the im
provement of reading and li
brary resources.

a happy summer with our

ABOUT SPECIAL, SCHOOL VOTE
Questions and Answers
QUESTION: As a Moeksville resident, I have been
concerned about reports that the coming bond issue
would raise both my city and county taxes. Is this
true?
ANSWER: No, it is not true. AH of th» issues
in the coming election concern all Davie County voters
and are to be taxed from county tax roils. You would
not be taxed for this from city taxes: this would
amount to your being double-taxed for these issues if
this were true.
QUESTION: I read in the paper recently that 6 at
our students made the honor roll at N. C. State Uni
versity. This seems to indicate that our students are
doing well academically in college.
ANSWER: When you say college students, you are
talking about only 26% of those who graduated from
our high schools last year. Many of our college stud
ents do poorly, and quite a few have to drop out tee
to grades. Our achievement testing for 1965-66 irhtnl
year showed 658 elementary students t»*«i»g at least
one year behind the national grade level norms la
reading. We are proud of these six students and the
many others who have received academic honors; un
fortunately, this percentage of students who wU be
seeking employment after high school graduation.
QUESTION: Is S2OO an adequate supplement for
our teachers?
ANSWER: Not really, especially when yon own*
pare this with the average supplements nald through
out the state. We have to tttnkin ternSTs* ta*2ad
and what will be acceptable when pcosenttag these toma
to the public. It would assist us la receiving more
applications for positions from
teachers, since most of them send appflrstiiw to tfcaaa
PUBLISHED THURSDAY
nominationalJSoil Stewardship
Advisory Committee. In North
Carolina, the observance Is
sponsored by the North Caro
lina Association of Soil and
Water Conservation District
Supervisors.
The theme, "Three-fourths
of Our Land." is developed on
the fact that three-fourths of
all the land in the United
States is owned or managed
by private citizens. We look
to them to provide food, fiber
and shelter. Unusual popula
tion growth at home and
abroad greatly increase de
mands on the land to pro
duce these essentials of life. 1
In America, the Soil Stew
ardship observance traces its
origin to the Rogation Days.
In parts of the South, church- j
es and congregations tradition
ally set aside the fifth Sun
day after Easter as Soil and
Soul Sunday.
In 1964 this became Soil
Stewardship Sunday when ths
editors of FARM AND RANCH
•Magazine suggested to a num
ber of Southern religious
leaders that one Sunday be
set aside to give special rec
ognition to man's obligation as
steward of the soil.
In 1854, the FARM AND
RANCH passed the sponsor
ship to the National Asso
ciation of Soil and Wats Con
servation Districts. The ori
ginal sponsors felt that «
still wider observance of Soil
Stewardship Sunday could
help bring about a national
awakening and recognition of
man's obligation to the Lord's
earth. In 1856, the observance
was extended to a full week.
;In 1967, Soil Stewardship
Week will be observed from
April 30 - May 7th.
