Few Drivers In
Person Suffer 4.
Revocations *
»
Raleigh, July 6 Twelve auto,
mobile drivers in Person County
had their drivers’ licenses revok
ed during the first six months ox
1940, according to figures releas
ed this week by the Highway Saf
ety Division.
Ronald Hocutt, director of the
division, said a total of 2,774 dri
vers’ licenses were revoked in the
state from January 1, through
June 30. Since the Driver’s Licen
se Act went into effect Novem
ber 1, 1935, a total of 28,367 dri
vers have had their lisenses re
voked by the State.
Drunken driving, by itself and
in combination with other offen
ses, accounted for 95 percent of
the revocations, and the remaind
er followed' convictions on miscel
laneous offenses, including man
slaughter, larceny of automobile
and repeated offenses of reckless
driving.
Revocations, under the 1935
Uniform Driver’s License Act,
are mandatory upon convictions
of: (1) Manslaughter or negligent
homicide resulting from the oper
ation of a motor vehicle; (2) driv
ing a motor vehicle while under
the influence of intoxicating li
quor or a narcotic drug; (3) any
felony in the commission of which
a motor vehicle is used; (4) fail
ure to stop and render aid in the
event of a motor vehicle acci
dent; (5) perjury or the making
of a false affidavit or statement
under oath under the Driver’s
License Act or any other law re
lating to the ownership of motor
vehicles; (6) two charges of reck
less driving committed within a
period of twelve months; and (7)
one charge of reckless driving
while engaged in the illegal trans
portation of liquor.
“A driver’s license is a privi
lege granted by the State on the
assumption that the licensee is
qualified to drive with due re
gard for the rights and safety of
other users of the highway, and
when a driver wantonly abuses
this privilege, disregarding and
jeopardizing the safety of fellow
travelers, the state takes away
his driving privilege,” said Saf
ety Director Hocutt, commenting
on the revocations.
‘‘Don’t abuse your driving pri
vilege if you don’t want to lose
it.”

Warner Baxter As
Ghost Who Lives
The murdered man in “Earth
bound” won’t stay dead. He is
Warner Baxter, who is co-starred
with Andrea Leeds in 20th Cen
tury-Fox’s surprising film which
is coming to the Palace theatre
Monday and Tuesday. He remains
on after his death, in the form of
a ghost-like apparition, through
spectacular motion picture magic.
Baxter passes through iron
doors and stone walls because act
ually he isn’t there. The screen
audience is able to see him clear
ly, however, as he tries to estab
lish contact with his widow, who
is portrayed by Andrea Leeds.
Baxter virtually is haunted by
the living in what is claimed to
be his strongest and most amaz
ing role to date.
The supporting cast includes
Lynn Bari, Charley Grapewin,
Henry Wilcoxon and Elizabeth
Patterson. Irving Pichel directed
“Earthbound” from a screen play
by John Howard Lawson and
Samuel C. Engel, which was bas
ed on a story by Basil King.
