Long Fills Vice-Presidency In Teacher Group I During the recent 1950 confer* i ence of North Carolina teachei 3 of j vocational agriculture at Carolina Beach, C S. Long, teacher of agri culture in Newport school was fleeted vice-president of the North Carolina Agriculture Teachers as sociation lor district U. Of the live districts in the state, district 11 covers counties in the southeastern , pait ol the state. Mr. Long was also member of a I group which received 20-year serv I ice keys. 1 J Warren Smith, director of vo cational education in North Caro lina. said about the conference: "Another excellent btate Africtil ! ture Fducation Teachers' confer I encelias been completed, You have t'. f>. Lnng worked together to make it a sue i if-. 'I \vj 3 a well planned and ex ecuted meeting The topic:, were timely, the papers "ere well pre r^red and presented in good lash ion. Because of the teacher partici pation it was truly a teachers con ferenre The many good ideas pre sented should prove helpful in the planning and conducting ol local i programs " | A L Teachey, ' tate suparviaof i of -Agriculture Education, com merited : "The teachers of agriculture Jiuuld. and I know do. teel proud nl their representatives on the oon ference progiam It is evident that much time and thought has been devoted to the preparation of the manuscripts and the discussions have been presented in a most ex cellent and lorceful manner There has also been the most faithful and cpnstant attendance on the part of the whole teacher group. The sup ervisor staff is proud of both those on the piogram and those consti tuting the audience." More than 400 were registered at the meeting. Rural Highways More Hazardous Rural highways of Carteret coun ty offer greater hazards to motor ists and pedestrians than do the city streets of Morehead City and Beaufort, President Coleman W. Roberts of 'the Carolina Motor elub pointed out today. The conclusions of Mr. Roberts were drawn on the basis of an an alysis of figures released by the North Carolina Motor Vehicle bu reau for 1949, which reveals that of 843 persons killed and 9,721 in- i lured last year, 691 were killed and 1 7,654 injured on rural roads as compared with 152 killed and 2,067 injured in urban areas. On the rural highways of Car teret county. 12 persons died in |j' *' accidents in 1949 as com pared with no fatal accidents in Morehead City or Beaufort In Carteret county 104 accidents were recorded last year, of which 14 resulted in property damage. A total of 42 persons were injured in highway accidents in the coun ty during the year. Two factors basically account for the high rate on rural roads. First, North Carolina's greater road mile dge and volume of traffic is outside uiban areas, and ruial areas are naturally the scene of more acci dent* due to higher speeds being prevalent on this type of road. Sec ond, cities are becoming safety con- j scious and more cities are develop ing safety programs in an effort to redwe tufiic hazards. While deaths in the state show ed an increase of only 15 per cent, injuries increased 30 per cent, while accidents increased 31 per cent as compared with 1948. Deaths increased 109 from the 1948 total cf 734, while accidents increased 4,996 from the 1943 total of 16,218 to a 1949 total of 21.202 Injuries in 1949 touted 9,721 as compared with 7,490 in 1948 for an increase of 2,231. ?
