Jenkins to see that the 55 m.p.h. speed limit Is strictly enforced. Effective August 15, 1977, members of the State Highway Patrol “shall vigorously en force the 55 m.pji, speed lim it on the public highways of North Carolina,” Carlton’s New Residents Mr. and Mrs. Keith V.

In making the announcement, Carlton said It has come to his attention that many mem bers of the Highway Patrol may give various degrees of ‘‘tol erance*’ to motorists driving at speeds above 55 m.pji. I find no Patrol policy condon ing this practice, Carlton said, but believe that It exists, never theless. Evidence is conclusive that strict adherence to the 55 m.pJi. speed limit, now both the state and national maximum speed, reduces accidents, saves lives, and conserves petroleum pro ducts. Carlton added that fed eral officials have also warned that failure of a state to enforce the 55 m.p.h. limit could re sult In loss of certain federal monies for state use. MAY WE HELP?...

For What w It’s Worth By Henry Winfrey The weekends and the first of each week have been some what different for me lately. Instead of enjoying our boat, I've spent Saturdays picking up ads, and Sundays laying out the paper for the next week. On Monday morning I take the rest of the paper to Benson so they can get It ready to print. Monday night I go back to Benson to proof the ads and approve the final make up of the paper. Tuesday afternoon I help address the paper and deliver It to the Post Office In Kinston for mailing. It’s fun but It can be fright ening - like the time a bus shipment of ads and stories went to Wilson instead of Benson. Or, like the time a bus ship ment arrived without copy. The shipping container had popped open and we found the copy - later - In the bus station. And, then the time we had trouble with the addressing equipment and I made the Post Office In Kinston seconds before It was due to leave for Pamlico Coun ty. I am relating all this because at the time I’m writing It (Sun day morning, August 14; I’m planning still a different Sun day, Monday, and Tuesday. In stead of finishing up with the paper, Nancy, Sallie, Sandy and I will be attending the 50th annual convention of the North Carolina Food Dealer’s Association In Winston-Salem.

When I told them they wouldn’t have my help, they replied "You mean you won't be In our way”. At any rate, when you receive the August 18th Issue, you will see the flnlsnea procuct before I have had a chance to see It. It all goes to prove that no one - especially oneself - Is lndespenslble. The lack of public attendance and Interest In the CAM A hear ing held last week concerns me. Zoning requirements under CAMA are Important. They will not go away if we Ignore them. They are here and we're going to have to live with them. More important, they are a part of the key to a county wide water system and a sewer system for the county. And water and sewer are Important If the county Is to attract the type of Industry we would all like to have In our county. Let's rethink the Importance of 7onlng and have a large turnout for the next C AM A hearing.
