State Highway Patrolmen Investigate
Series of Weekend Auto Accidents
A scries of automobile accidents
over the weekend attested to the
heavy flow of traffic on county
highways.

Wilson told the patrolman that
he had just passed a car and as he
pulled back into the right lane
noticed that the Oldsmobile was
not moving He said he tried to
apply his brakes, but because the
road was wet was afraid to brake
suddenly.
He swerved to the right in an
attempt to avoid hitting the car
and his left front struck the right
rear of the Oldsmobile.
Mmith Cut
Wilson's young daughter who
was riding with him was thrown
against the dashboard of the car
and her mouth was cut. Damage
Death Rides Any Car
Death takes no holiday. That's why county state high
way patrolmen are asking drivers in this resort area to
be careful. Death ia like a hitch-hiker. It doesn't care
which car it rides in.
To keep highways safe, highway patrolmen are work
ing around the clock. They are sparing no effort to curb
speeding. Kadar and speed clocks are in use on both
main highways and secondary roads.
Carteret's patrolmen, J. W. Sykes, R. H. Brown, W. J.
Smith Jr., and W. E. Pickard ask that you do yourself a
favor and drive carefully. They'll, be handing out
pamphlets today and tomorrow citing the need for
keeping highways holiday-safe.
I to the Chevrolet was estimated at
$300 and damage to the Gillikin
car was $130.
Mrs. Gillikin was charged with
driving without a liccnse; her hus
band, Ellis Gillikin, was charged

charged with going too fast for
existing road conditions.

Two cars collided at 2:35 p.m.
Saturday at Merrimon. One was a
1950 Ford driven by Clyde J. Can
non, Merrimon, and the other was
a 1953 Chevrolet driven by Joseph

Challenging North Caro
linians to face the facts as to
"how they really fare," Gov.
Luther Hodges yesterday
morning delivered his per
sonal message to members of
the Board of Conservation
and Development. The board
will conclude today its two
day meeting at the commer
cial fisheries building. More
head City.
The governor commented that a
man from eastern North Carolina
tame into his office complaining
about his "high taxes" and the
"awful agriculture condition in
North Carolina." The governor
said that none of the state's prob
lems can be corrected until people
stop dealing in fallacious generali
ties and think in term of facts.
The state's chief executive said
that corrections must be made in
the tax structure "but then we
mu3t be smart enough to present
that tax deal to the rest of the
world."
North Carolina has done a poor
job, he declared, in selling its total
tax package ? . state, county and
city taxes.
The governor said the state fis
cal situation looks "pretty good,"
but made no prediction as to how
long it will last.
He said the increase in popula
tion and prevailing confidcncc indi
cates that the good economic sit
uation might prevail for a long
time.
Surplus Noted
Referring to the surplus in the
budget, the governor said that ap
plications for that money already
exceed the surplus. Twenty or thir
ty million dollars, when it comes to
running a state, he pointed out,
isn't very much money.
Speaking of luring industry to
North Carolina, the governor said
the industries lost arc the ones
that arc looking for plaecs to go
but with whom North Carolina
has never made contact.
In this connection he says he has
suggested the possibility of having

Committee Hears
Requests to Limit
Number of Bass
Two Per Day, 32 Inches
Or Over, Seems to Be
Favored Regulation
The commercial fisheries com
mittee through the Board of Con
servation and Development will
issue its formal decision today on
a limit on channel bass, on cer
tain shrimping regulations, and on
a request to unload fish scrap at
dehydrating plants.
At a hearing on the channel bass
issue Saturday at the commercial
fisheries building, the committee
told sportsmen it would recom
mend that a limit of two bass per
day be set.
The fish would have to be 32
inches or longer, to be used for
human consumption only and not
sold commercially or shipped out
of the state. The limit of two daily
would apply to both sports and
commercial fishermen.
Based on a suggested regulation
by the U.S. Marine Fisheries Com
mission, the legal size for channel
bass would be 14 to 32 inches, on
which there would be no limit as
to number.
Speaking in favor of restriction
was Maj. J. L. Murphy of Kill
Devil Hills, representing the Nags
Head Surf Fishing Club. He pre
sented statistics showing that chan
nel bass fishing is of inportant
economic value to the state, bring
ing in approximately $340,000 from
April to October.
Number Dwindling
He said that some form o( con
servation is needed because than
nel bass are not around in the
numbers they have baen in other
years. Major Murphy also suggest
ed that the Atlantic States Marine
Fisheries Commission make a
study of the channel bass with a
view to making uniform regula
tions along the Atlantic coast.
