Motor Club Says
28 May Die
In Holiday Traffic
The N.C. State Motor Club
estimates 28 people may die in
traffic accidents on North Carolina
streets and highways over the
upcoming Christmas and New
Year's holidays, two of the most
meaningful holidays of the year.
? The state will count its toll from
6 p.m. Thursday, December 24,
through midnight Sunday, De
cember 27, for Christmas; and
from 6 p.m. Thursday, December
31, through midnight Sunday,
January 3, for New Year's.
Last year 19 were killed and
1,015 were injured over Christmas
holidays, while 17 were killed and
826 injured over the New Year
. holiday. Each holiday was cele
" brated over a 102-hr. period.
"This prediction, as well as every
other holiday prediction is always
an unpleasant job, and we are
always hopeful that our predictions
will far exceed the actual loss of life
at the end of the holidays," stated
Dr. John G. Frazier, president of
the statewide motor club.
"However, statistics cannot be
ignored, and with each holiday we
are hopeful that our message will
reach more and more motorists,
making them aware of the dangers
and the fact that only the drivers
themselves can help reduce the
needless number of deaths that
occur on our streets and high
ways." Frazier added.
The problem strikes at all seg
ments of the population ?? infants,
the elderly, drivers, riders, and
pedestrians. The facts show the
tremendous loss of young people in
their most vibrant and productive
years. Approximately half of all
highways fatalities are under 30
years of age .
Local and State Highway Patrol
officers will be out in full force
during the holiday period, con
centrating on the speeding and
drinking driver.
"Have a safe holiday", Frazier
stated, "and help keep you and
your loved ones out of the collision
statistics."

Some of the Hoke County High
students decided to write letters to
Santa. A few are printed below:
1 Dear Santa,
1 want a shiny red Datsun pick
up truck and a camper on back
with a motorcycle to pull behind
them. I'd also like a ski boat. If I
don't receive the above I really
don't care what I receive, I'm
satisfied.
Thank you
Eric McGee
Dear Santa,
1 What I want for Christmas is
clothes, a new baseball glove,
money, and a beautiful girl. Please
try and deliver all gifts.
Thank You
Rob Wilcox
Dear Santa,
I want a black Toyota truck and
money. I've been a very good girl
and deserve these few requests.
Thank you
M.J. James
Dear Santa,
There are a lot of things that I
would like for Santa to bring me,
but the best and foremost gift I
could receive is happiness. For
material things I would like
cowboy boots, lots of clothes and
jewelry.
Thank you,
Venus McLaurin
Dear Santa,
I wish that as a nation we might
all discover the true meaning of
Christmas and take time from our
busy holiday schedules to give
thanks to God for the great gift
given. I'd also like a pair of
designer jeans, 9/10. I've been an
excellent little girl.
Thank you
G. McAllister
Dear Santa,
1 would like to receive a truck
and trailer from Hardees. I'd also
like a bike to ride when I go to col
lege next year. Most of all, 1 want
answers to all my problems. Please
deliver these gifts for your amiable
little friend.
Thank you
Dana Connell
Dear Santa,
I want a little red wagon with a
cowboy suit complete with guns
and Venus McLaurin wrapped in a
red ribbon. I'm not greedy so
please grant me these small gifts.
Thank you
Dennis Daniels
Dear Santa,
This Christmas 1 ask for my next
year to be filled with relaxation. I
also would like help with some of
my work. If possible, it would be
nice to have Health, Wealth, and
Happiness; if you grant me Health
and Wealth, I guarantee to make
myself happy.
Love
Pam

Last week while cleaning out my
old desk here at the office, I ran
across many things that had been
pushed back in drawers that were
put in there some years ago.
I I found two badges that were
worn at the 1%1 Golden Jubilee of
Hoke County. Now it doesn't seem
like it has been over 20 years since
this event was staged, but just think
that in four more years, it will be
time to stage the Diamond Jubilee.
Do you think it is time to start
planning?
Also in one of the drawers I ran
< across an unused 3 cent post card.
Now, of course, they sell for only 13
* cents.
Yes when you clean out, you can
remember!
? ? *
The following letter is self
explanatory:
Dear Sam:
The response to the "Share Your
Christmas" project has been most
gratifying. It now appears that 105
families will be assisted with toys,
clothes, food and a bag of fruit.
The spirit of the response by the
community individuals, churches,
and civic organizations and the
amount of volunteers' time given by
Woman's Club members have con
tributed to the success of this new
program.
Every Woman's Club member
joins me in thanking you and your
staff for the wholehearted support
you have given.
Merry Christmas and Happy
New Yearl
