(Continued from Pago 1)
tractive sixteen page booklet has
been prepared by our committee.
A copy of this book will be pre
sented to everyone in the county
who attends one of these meetings.
This book is filled with interesting
farm scenes and gives summarized
information on various phases of
improved farm and home practices.
"The committee prepared a brief
summarized report based on the
needs of our Carteret County peo
ple. This type of program has
been in operation in a number of
the Piedmont and mountain coun
ties for several years. Most all of
the counties in the state are now
preparing and working on a long
range agricultural program for
their respective counties.
"As a representative of the Ag
riculture Exteiision Service and as
Chairman of the Carteret County
Long Range Agricultural Pro
gram, 1 want to take this oppor
tunity of cxpressiug my sinccre
appreciation to representatives of
the other agricultural agency work
ers and the members of the vari
ous committees who have cooper
ated in giving their time, interest,
talent and efforts with this pro
gram. I am very proud of the
progress that has taken place thus
far.
"The success of this program,
the degree to which its principles
will be applied and dividends that
will pay off will be in direct re
lationship to how well the farm
people learn about and apply the
best or its possibilities to their
needs. Each of our committee
chairmen would like to urge ev
ery Carteret County farmer and
his wife to attend one of next
week's meetings."

School Bus Drivers Hear
Talks by State Officials
C. C. Brown, director of tram
portation. State Department of ltd
uiat ion told school bus drivers at a
luncheon Wednesday. *'J don't care
what you may do in lator life, there
will be no finer expresaion of con
fide nee placoJ in you. by the pub
lic. than that of being entrusted
with the lives of your neighbors'
children."
The barbecue luncheon was
served at the Recreation Center.
Morehcad City. Hoat was the Coun
ty Board of Education. Speakers,
in addition to Mr. Brown, were
Gates Matthews, bus driver exam
iner. and Z. E. Helms, chief of the
driver improvement section of the
Highway Safety Division.
II. L. Joslyn. county superin
tendent of schools, was toast master.
Mr. Brown told the 34 bus
drivers and alternates that they ire
the only group that is making a
contribution to the schools in the
terms of dollars and cents. "The
fact that you are being paid little,
means that the state has more
money available for other school
needs." he said.
Percentage-wise, North Carolina
has more student bus drivers than
any other state, the speaker re
ported. He said as a result of the
good record in North Carolina,
Dther neighboring states are in
creasing the use of students as bus
drivers.
In Carteret, 35 school busses
carry about 2,500 children, or
about two-fifths of the county's
total enrollment, Mr. Brown com
mented.
'Maintain Record'
He admonished the school bus
drivers to keep up their splendid
record. He added that when ihere
is an upward trend in automobile
accidents, bus accidents tend to fol
low. He told the drivers that the
three causes of most bus accidents
occur during backing, coming out
of side roads and not stopping, and
excessive speed for condition of
road being traveled.
'Most injuries, Mr. Brown said,
come from horseplay on busses. He
<aid children will respect the
driver if he demands respect and
he will thereby be al)le to keep
urder.
Mr. Helms likened the school
bus driver to the captain of a ship.
He said, "This attractive section of
our state borders upon the ocean,
and here you may observe as a
common-place thing the ships that
sail the broad oceans. Being the
captain of a ship must give a great
sense of pride to the one holding
that position. Having such a posi
tion *ho?s almost unlimited confi
dence placed in the ^hipmaater by
the controlling individuals or boarl
of directors. Truly, this would be
a Job to be coveted for anyone who
has a deepsaated liking for the
sea. It seems to me that the honors
that ge with being a shipmaster
are certainly so greater than > hose
of a school bus driver."
Examiner Speaks
Mr Matthews said he was pleased
thai the county was so appreciative
of the Job the bus drivers 'vere do
ing that they were honoring them
with a luncheon. He presented
membership cards to the captains
of each Bus Drivers Club. The cap
tains are Rodney Taylor. Atlantic;
Freddy Merrill. Beaufort; Doug
Reynolds, Newport; Tommy Willis,
Smyrna; Lonnie Hyatt, Morehcad
City; and George Hill, Beaufort.
Guests at. the luncheon were the
following principals: Stanley Dail,
U. T. Windell, C. F. Jones repre
senting B. E. Tarkington; A. W.
l'ridgen, E. B. Comer. Other guests
were W. E. l'ickard. J. W. Sykes
and W. J. Smith of the State High
way Patrol; Inspector T. G. Robin
son of the Highway Patrol Office
and Mrs. Elizabeth Fleming of the
County Board of Education office.
