WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1955 NUMBER FORTY-THREE m EXPERT DRIVER CERTIFICATE TO BE AWARDED IN CHERRYVILLE A TRAFFIC SAFETY CONTEST The week beginning Friday, November 18th and ending Thurs day, November 24th has been des ignated by Mayor W. T. Robinson as one of the weeks during which a local driver will be given an ex pert driver certificate; and the week beginning Friday, Novem ber 25th and ending Thursday, December 1st has been designated by him as the second week during which this certificate will be giv en. The awarding of these two ex pert driver certificates will be a part of Cherryville’s Pre-S-D Day activities. During the two sepa rate weeks ending November 24th and December 1st, a traffic safe ty contest will be conducted in Oherryville to reward an expert driver for each of the two weeks. The second week’s contest will end on December 1st because this date has been designated as S-D Day by the president’s committes for Traffic Safety. Called “Spot Checks for Driving Experts,’’ the contest will award a prize of ten gallons of gasoline to the driver who has been judged outstanding behind the wheel. Officials of the local Police Department and the State Highway Patrol will make the selection. The traffic division of the Po lice Department and members of the State Highway Patrol in the county will make daily spot checks during contest week. Each day drivers will be under obser vation, with only the expert eli gible for the prize. The winning driver will be pre •nted an “Expert Driving” cer "V. cate by police Chief James Par This certificate will entitle »e winner to ten gallons of gas^ oline provided by Firestone «Hom«» and Auto Supplies or by VanDyke Esso Station. What makes an expert dnver? Here are some of the nualifica tions that police observers will look for: 1. Smooth driving. You can al ways spot an expert by his smooth driving—the way he blends with the flow of t ruffle without jerky stops and starts. , , o Perfect thing. Watch how an” expert driver anticipates his next move long in advanve. That takes perfect timing. He never darts from lane to lane. .3. Constant control. That's an other sign of an expert behind the wheel. He knows that driving at reasonable speeds will enable him to keeD constant control of his car. He knows, too. that exces sive speed is the number one high wav killer. 4. Cood judgment. The expert always adjusts his driving to road conditions. He knows what to ex pect at night, during wet weather and on heavily traveled roads. He knows his limitations, too. He never drives after drinking. 5. Respect of traffic laws. That’s a requirement that all ex perts measure up to. They know that traffic laws are made to pro -ect them. It‘s smart to obey them. 6. Courteous driving, dan man ners are out of place anywhere. Rut in traffic, they car, lead to serious consequences. Courtesy is the mark of an expert. If you honestly measure up to these oualifications, you’ve an ex pert driver. And if you don’t mea sure up, the next time you're driv ing, watch for the expert. Then follow his example. At the close or each week tne expert drivers certificate will be awarded by Chief of Police Jam es Parker. At the time Chief ■Parker makes the award and pre sents the driver with the certifi cate, he will instruct which of the two local service stations. Van Dyke’s Esso Station, or Firestone Home and Auto Supplies, will a ward the ten gallons of gasoline. By direction of the office of Governor Hodges and of Sgi. Jack Hosteller of the N. C. State High way Patrol. Mayer Robinson ha® appointed Mr. T. F. Moore, Safe ty Director for Carolina Freight Carriers Corporation, as Director for S-D (Safe-Driving! Day. Mav • Robinson has asked Cherryville ief of Police James Parker to list Mr. Moore with the Pre -D Day program. Both of these gentlemen are well qualified for this task. Mr. Moore has served one year on Governor Hodges North Carolina Committee for Traffic Safety and has been, ask ed by Governor Hodges to attend a meeting during this month for outlining and formulating a high way safety program for the year 1956. Chief Parker’s qualifications re sult from his experience with the N. C. State Highway Patrol, his experience as a local law-enforce ment officer and his experience in promoting, along with Mr. Moore, the 1964 S.D. program for Cher ryville. Mayor Robinson has »sVed .that The Eagle urge through its pag es that all CberryviQ* dnv«M make every possible effort to in Seven Hundred Visit East Elementary And Junior High School East Elementary School observ- j ed American Education Week, November 6-11 along with other schools all over the nation, but we think no school can boast of a more satisfying report than theirs. .. • The teachers and their pupils were all ready to receive their guests on Tuesday morning, No vember 8. The rooms were at tractively decorated; with the chil dren’s work which was indicative of time and effort spent by the •teachers and pupils for this occas ion. Everyone that had had a part in arranging for this obser vance felt pride in their efforts. In the corridor, the grade moth ers were busy ‘welcoming the guests, serving refreshments and campaigning for new members for the P.T.A. A warm comrade ly feeling prevailed throughout the week. We realized that these parents and friends who left their many occupations to come visit their school, had a deep; interest ir. their childrens progress m school and desired first-hand know ledge of what was being done to ward developing a well-rounded individual and to learn what they could do to help. We really felt they had come to cooperate with the schools’ efforts and not to condemn. The teachers felt that this was indeed a “Teachers’ Apprecia tion Day” as a grade mother pin ned a lovely corsage of autumn flowepp on their shoulders and whispered some little word of ap preciation. By this token they knew their efforts to instruct the children had not gone unnoticed. Words are inadequate to express th«u teachers’ deep appreciation for\this kindly gesture nor the feelihi b( deep pride, they have Tor Uie School in which they Every room had a goodly rep resentation from nearly every home. Only a small number of homes were unrepresented. First, second and third prizes were of fered for the highest percentage of representatives. Winners were: Fir»t Place: Mi*» Kate Whit worth’* Second Grade - 193.9% Second Place: Mri. R. H. Carroll’* Third Grade - 192.86 ^Third Place: Mr*. J. M. Cro cker’* Fourth Grade - 191.2 per cent. Mrs T. A Carter’s Fifth Grade and Mrs. Honorii Wells tied for fourth place with 175G . We feel this record surpasses any previous records and agree that American Education Week promotes better understanding between teachers and parents. Mr. D. A. Craft a great grand father, who is nearing the cen tury mark, made his annual visit to his 18 great-grand childrens rooms and posed for a picture with them. You could well see the look of pleasure on his face at this recognition. We knew it was a special effort on his part and the ones who brought him, but we think enough pleasure was derived from his visit to compen sate for the trouble. Mr. Dock Shull, another gToat grand father was also a visitor and registered in each of his great grand childrens room. He too, has been a regular booster of American Education Week. Principal Erskine Carson and his corp of teachers wish to ex press their appreciation of the wonderful cooperation of parents and grand-parents toward making this oceasion the best.

Celebrating Fifth Anniversary National Book Week! What does it mean to Cherryville? Em phasis on good leading! A dis play of colorful book, covers and posters! A renewed enthusiasm for better reading! Yes. all of these and something else ! Five years ago during National Book Week, the Cherryville Pub lic Library opened its doors and became a center for wholesome and recreational reading. Before that time Cherryville had only a small, unattended book station, and a few stops from the book mobile. , _ The Junior Woman's I mb be came interested in the need of a library for Cherryville. Through the Education Committee of that club, the planning began and initial steps were taken. Interest spread to other civic clubs ana civic minded people until at last a favorable location was obtained, and Miss Nettie Willisl was secur ed as librarian. It will ibe a lasting optmon ot those closely associated with t.he, Cherryville Library in its early years of existence that much of its success and organization de pended upon the enthusiasm of Miss Willis, who was so qualified in library experience. For four years, Miss Willis lent her un tiring efforts to the work. Last December, she resigned to take up residence and work at the Bap tist Home in Winston-Salem. In. June of this year, she met- her untimely death in an automobile accident in Charlotte. At this time, let us pause to pay tribute | to one who meant so much to the library ami to everyone who came to know and love her. Mrs. C lyde Ledford nas so anly filled the position of librarian since Miss Willis' resignation. Credit and praise go to her at this time for the wonderful job she is doing in the work.. The membership at the library has jrrown to 829 juvenile users and 449 adult readers. Cherry ville now' has 1.000 'books and a set of a recent edition of the World Book Encyclopedias of her own; but in addition to these, citizens of Cherryville and sur rounding communities have access upon request to any and all 65, 000 volumes in the Gaston County collection. About 1.800 to 12,000 volumes are on the shelves at. all time. The bookmobile pays reg ular visits to the Cherryville Li brary keeping- the hooks circulat ing and answering requests The service from the Gaston County Library to this branch has been exceptionally good due to the splendid cooperation of Mrs. Barbara Heafner and her staff. At this time appreciation is ex tended to them for helping to make the Library a success. With out their help and the county books our capacity would be too limited to carry on a library to any great extent. During this five-year period of operation, the Cherryville Library has been opened for use four af ternoons each week, four hours each time. This has been fairly adequate in meeting" the needs of 1 h<- reading public However, it; is the dream of those associated with the work that in the not-td distant future that this may he extended to full-time operation. The present circulation will justi fy such an extended program as soon as funds car, be appropriat ed. The circulation of the books has steadilv increased with a total of 1,200 to 1,800 per month. The Vacation Readme Clubs during the past years have stimu lated great interest and enjoy ment for the young people. The Hookworm Club last summer proved the biggest success yet, with 170 members and 1,20 re ceiving reading certificates. During this time the Library has operated entirely on donations from its friends, civic clubs, and the town council. To these go the thanks for making the library possible financially. The CherryviUe Public Library has definitely reached the first "plateau” on its road to success and permanency in the commun ity. It has inevitably written his* tory for five years which cannot be erased from the hearts and minds of its friends and users. Aa we begin another chapter in the life of the library as a part of our community, it is with greater hope that we look to the future for continued success, greater cir culation, and a more secure foun i dation on which to build. Cherryville Music Club To Meet The Chei'ryv'lle Music Club will meet Thursday evening, Novem ber 17, at 7:4.r> at the home of Miss Fannie Farris on Old Post Road. All members are urged to be present.
