Linville The great mountain
of North Carolina
and Virginia will soon receive an
additional publicity boost.
A new Blue Ridge Parkway
bumper strip, colorfully decorat
ed in orange day-glo letters on a
blue background, will be seen on
automobiles.
Hugh M. Morton, owner of
Grandfather Mountain near here;
said today he will promote the
non-profit sale and distribution
of the original bumper strip to
tourist attractions, service stations
and other groups dealing with the
traveling public in the mountain
area
He said his own experience with
Grandfather Mountain bumper
strips, a well known green day-glo
strip reveals the ornaments are
“quite popular” with the travel
ing public.
Therefore, in a move to better
advertise the entire parkway in
two states, he has personally ini
tiated the project.

“We will not and do not want
to make anything out of the pro

is to promote more business for
the Parkway region.
“At Grandfather Mountain we
give away about '30,000 of our
green strips each year. We know
tourists like them. With this in
mind, we hope, with the coopera
tion of many groups, we can do a
better job for the Parkway area
by offering the bumper strips at
cost.” „ *

Drivers Blamed For Child
Pedestrian Fatallity Toll
By BUI Crowell •
RALEIGH “Drive slow, let
’em grow.” ,
That was a plea this week from
Col. James R. Smith, commander
of the State Highway Patrol, as j
he emphasized the Importance of
child pedestrian safety, a top
priority project always but espec
ially so at this time of year.
"Here in North Carolina 138
youngsters between one and 14
were killed in traffic accidents
last year,” Col. Smith recalled.
“And the tragic part of it is that
most of these deaths could have
been prevented.”
Col. Smith placed most of the
blame for our high child pedes
trian fatality toll on drivers. He
admitted children are often care
less in traffic, and that they bring
about dangerous situations. But he
emphasized that drivers can do
much to counteract the effects of
this heedlessness.
“Careful driving practices and
consistent alertness are the driv
er’s best safeguards,” he said. “He
must learn to expect the unexpect
ed from children, and to act
quickly to save a heedless young
ster from harm.”
< ...
Col. Smith pointed out that the
present high traffic accident fa- :
tality rate among children will
have far-reaching effects on the
state’s future. -
He expressed it this way:
“Children are our hope for to
mor.'jw From thHr ranks mu3t
oome the statesmen, clergymen,
doctors and scientists of the fu
ture. Everytime We cut down a
youngster in traffic we weaken
the state’s future strength.”
Col. Smith advised drivers to
observe the following rules to pro
tect Tar Heel youngsters in
traffic:
4 1. Keep a sharp lookout for child-
I ren at all times, but especially in
{school zones, near playgrounds
and other places where children
gather.
2. When in the areas of school
zones, playgrounds etc., be alert
for traffic signs, signals, traffic
police, school patrols and children
themselves.
3. Don’t be a juvenile yourself
by trying to compete with bike
riders. Give them a brake.
