' The North Carolina Highway Fatrol wants you to know about a nationwide campaign under way to increase compliance with the 55 mph speed limit law. Since the dry pumps and gas lines have disappeared, motorists are speeding up. , But only appearances have changed. There is less fuel today than during the 1974 crisis. We just have access to it now. Then there is the safety bonus Slower speeds reduce the likelihood of accidents and fatalities. It makes sense. Slower speeds mean more reaction time, less braking time, arid greater control Aside from the benefits of slowing down, there is the point of the law. 55 mph is the legal limit and that means the North Carolina Highway Patrol enforces it.

NORTHWESTERN BANK A &e, In making'the announce ment, Carlton said it has come to his attention that many members of the Highway Patrol may give various degrees of “tolerance” to motorists driving at speeds above 55 mph. I find no Patrol policy condoning this prac tice, Carlton said, but believe that it exists, nevertheless. Evidence is conclusive that strict adherence to the 55 mph speed limit, now both the state and national maximum ~ speed, reduces accidents, saves lives, and conserves petroleum products. Carlton added that federal officials have also warned that failure of a state to enforce the 55 mph limit could result in ioss of certain federal monies for state use. ★ ★ New Trooper In Burnsville The thirty-four graduates of the 62nd State Highway Patrol Basic School who graduated August 12 recently received their work assign ments.
