•THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1958 : i i - - , To Be Gondacted For Safer Highways Next .Year Chicago,—The National Confer ence of State Safety Coordintors took action today to make the nationhighways safer next summer. In a move to curb the rise in accidents during the'‘time of peak vacation travel, the Coord inators voted unanimously to con duct the summer-long “Slow Down and Live” campaign again next year. The program has been con ducted for the past' four years and -has succeeded each year in either reducing or curbing the rise in traffic accidents. Thomas N. Boate, manager of the Accident Prevention Depart ment of the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, which pro vides Administrative staff and headquarters for "Slow Down and Live,” said that, the nationwide program is now the most ambitious traffic safety effort ever attempted. “The single purpose of the pro gram,” Mr. Boate said, “is to re duce traffic law violations associa ted with speed and ‘in-a-hurry’ driving the largest contributing factor in fatal accidents. -It- at-- tempts to do this through increased public education and stepped-up law enforcement efforts.” However, to get the cooperation of the 80,000,000" licensed drivers and to provide' assistance so the thousands of -police units in the nation, Mr. Boate estimated that more than 75,000 man-hours and 100,000,000 promotional items will be required in 1957. He pointed out accidents, injuries and‘fatalities-. CHICKEN SUPPER Sponsored By WSCS of Celo Methodist Church SAT. Nov. 3, from 5-8 p. m.

BACKFIRED ROMANCE By Allen Wishert EUNICE TEMPLE was uncer tain, Irresistible and not de pendable. She had had boy friends. who worshipped her, and unmerci fully she led them on. But when arriving to the “Marching down the aisle" question, she cleaily indicated that ail transaction were null and void. “ - At the- moment, however, she was again uncertain, perplexed She had met Tom Worthington and was in love,' really. This night she had filled the regular date with him, they had driven into the coun try. parked at a. glorious spot where the moon sprinkled its rays through the branches of the trees. It was the perfect setting for a boy to take a girl into his arms, but the episode wasn't going according to script. Eunice had never known before that so many subjects could be .discussed without love being men tioned. She allowed her shoulder to rub .against his. He asked if he was crowding her', begged her par don find eased the space between them. Arriving -home, he alighted, .walked around and opened the door, getting out, she stumbled designedly. Surely he would catch jher in his arms, instead he said; | “Watch your step.” • Sleep was troublesome that night. She would doze, then sud denly awaken from an encounter with a bear. However, there wasn’t anything frightening about him, he 'merely stood off dream . ingly gazing at her and hugging himself. She consulted -father and 'mother bear, who informed her ithat Tommy was bashful. They were sorry, but couldn’t offer any aid, whatever was to be done to bring liim out of it, she had to do 'it. f She consulted her dearest girl friend, after explaining the situa tion, she said: , “So Clara, that is exactly how it us; have you a suggestion?” ■ | "Only one,” replied Clara. “Date la couple of other young men, be [sure he knows.

Eunice put the theory to test She' knew a couple of boys who would go along with the idea. Tom had dates with Eunice only a couple of nights a week, the other five nights furnished plenty of time for the scheme. Hem-y and Charlie on different nights escorted her to spots where they were certain Tom would get wind of it, and he did. Eunice knew he had. Clara informed her that Tom had commented on it, but she had failed to gain from him whether, he censured or approved the actions. Tonight she would learn the facts. It was one of his “regu lars”, surely he would bring the subject forward. Forty-five minutes later seated in the car, the moon was dim, still it sprinkled a few feeble rays through the tree branches, mak ing the setting more perfect than ever for a boy to take a girl into his arms. Again the plot wasn’t going ac cording to script. Tom was glum. “Eunice,” he said. “There is something you should know.”,. “Yes, yes,” she replied, excited ly, scrouging closer, he eased away. “I—l have.,,, a confession to make,” he fumbled. “It was only a game, Tom," she said, haltingly. “You know that I’ve been dating Henry Barton and Charlie Simms.” “ I do, and they concern my con cession.” “I knew you would be con cerned, and object to my going with them.” “Not at all," he replied without emotion. “In fact, I planned it.”, “You—you planned it?" she was completely thrown off center, the wheels were turning in reverse.! “Wh —what do yow mean; you' planned it?” “Last week I became engaged to Stella Burke, and I framed with Henry and Charlie to pay you* j court, giving me the excuse to i break off with you.” Kenan Stadium at the University of North Carolina can seat 24,000 persons hr its permanent stands, and 20,000 in temporary stands.

That is why, we at Ford, despite our con fidence in our *57 cars, let their deeds of accomplishment speak for themselves. Therefore, we engaged an independent engineering organization to test our ’57 cars more thoroughly than any other cars have ever been tested before —in this country or abroad. We provided them with '57 Fords-cars identical with those now offered by Ford Dealers. The rest we left up to them. Here is what they did: They took these cars to the Salt Flats at Bonneville, Utah. * Here, twelve of the world’s greatest drivers took over. In relays they drove these cars night and day for a distance greater than twice around the world . . . a distance equal dsafa i® I. ® M ■! I A CERTAIN tear had for years gripped Raymond Medford. M 8 Columbia Avenue, Millville, New Jersey. He wasn’t afraid of S>«ople. or so he thought; he Wasn’t afraid a of animals, of that he was sure; he wasn’t afraid pf work, to which he applied him self vigorously. His great fear pentered to making a change. And now a change must come. He had long been employed as toe head of a department of a Store which waa soon to go out of business. Raymond wasn’t alone to his fear. Most of the employes were worrying about their future, for toe depression of the thirties . was not yet over and jobs were scarce. But even if he could find a job, he was afraid he couldn’t fit himself into the personnel; he had 3Dng63Qi*wno«3oooooPß»ex«ss»xsy««»ao£s»ao£3ooc^^ | WRITE-IN VOTE I for | FRED BOWLING i '. ; - V \ I for- | | Chairman of the Board I of Commissioners a of Yancey County I | I Your Support Will Be | Greatly Appreciated 1 !POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT PAID FOR BY CANDIDATE 6 - i been associated too long with hls ; present fellow workers. He had learned how to please toe Higher- Ups here, but new Higher-Ups' would be different people. But having a certain type of de termination to his make up, he! told himself that what he had to do would better be done at once. j So even before the other employes began casting around lor Jobs, he took a plunge: he decided to apply, for a highly desirable Job that he* felt sure he wouldn't get; this was merely to practice his sales talk' on his own abilities. - ..Jr ; Lo and behold, he got that job! i His motto today is, “If you’re afraid of the water, plunge right in; it will be warm to a few’ minutes.” • v i to 5 years of normal driving. Not in all history has a man-built ma chine traveled so far in so short a time— by land or sea! But this was not a test of speed—but of endurance of the “Inner Ford.” A trial to take the measure of Thunderbird Y block V-8 power without qualification of any kind. A test of running gear—of brakes, of materials in body and chassis.

Surely they have told you, in decisive terms, that they are worth more when you buy ... and when you sell!
