Daniel 6:10. STILL TOO MANY KILLED ON THE HIGHWAYS Seventy-one persons were killed on the highways of North Carolina last month in automobile accidents. To be sure, this is a decrease of 12 dur ing the same period last year, when 83 met death in traffic accidents. But it is too many. The careless automobile driver is a dangerous person to be loose on the highways. The drunken driver should have no place on the high ways. Captain Charles D. Farmer, of the State Highway Patrol, is quoted as saying this week that the develop ment of a "safety conscious" atti tude on the part of the motorists, resulting in more careful driving, is responsible for a decrease of 12 deaths attributable to automobile accidents during the month of March as compared with the same month last year. "The only logical reason for the decrease in the number of people killed in accidents is that the safety drives by the Highway Patrol and the newspapers at last are taking effect," Captain Farmer said. "The public is beginning to drive more in telligently and carefully." Captain Farmer's statements are undoubtedly to the point, and to bring the matter down to our own small county of Perquimans, the at titude taken, by Judge Walter H. Oakey, Jr., of the Perquimans Re corder's Court, last summer, in the matter of- dealing with drunken drivers convicted in his court, has had its effect. The first person picked up by an officer in Perquimans on a drunken driving charge in months was tried this week. A man who knows he must serve SPRINGING UP! a jail sentence if he is convicted of driving an automobile while under the influnce of liquor is going to think twice before he gets under the wheel after he has had too much. Work Starts on "Cavalcade of Texas' ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT Hertford is a pretty town. But there are certain spots in the place which might be improved and places which ought to be cleaned up. This newspaper is not informed as to who the owner or owners may be of the property in the immediate rear of the stores on the west side of Church Street and in the rear of the stores on the north side of Mar ket Street. Town authorities have stated that this property does not belong to the town. A portion of the property is used as an alley for the delivery of merchandise to certain of the stores on ChurcH Street. This is a neglected spot. Not only is the place unsightly, but it proba bly constitutes ' a fire hazard, with quantities of paper blowing about The accumulation of trash and debris which sometimes is allowed to re main in the alley may also be dan gerous from the standpoint of sani tation. Why not keep this back lot clean ed up? f I 4 f - J The history ot lexau, undei the i flags which nave flown over it from the days of the first Spaniards te the present, will be set forth in pomp and color in The Cavalcade of Texas," aa expansive pageant to be presented three times daily during the Texas Centennial, the $25,000,000 World's Fair, which runs in Dallas from June 6 to Nov. 29.
