According to the grace of God which is- given unto me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth there upon. I Corinthians 8:10. DO THE BUSSES EXCEED SPEED LIMITS? An evident effort is being made by traffic officers to check the high and dangerous rate of speed at which the heavy, trucks "Which travel the high ways .r too often driven. Several of these speeding truck drivers were tried and convicted of exceeding the speed limit on Tuesday in Record er's Court. With the increasing traffic, heavy trucks with trailers are becoming more and more numerous on the highways as the weeks go by, it is reassuring, to the public to note such vigilance on the part of the officers. Everybody knows that travel on the highways is dangerous, though too few appear to realise how dan gerous. Otherwise there would not be so many fatalities on our high ways. To allow the drivers of these large trucks to spin along at the rate of 55 miles an hour, with- long trailers swaying as they round the curves, is to menace the safety of every travel er on the highway. Not only are the truck drivers speeding, but the passenger busses which operate in this section are be ing driven at excessive rates of speed. "How fast are you supposed to drive this bus?" asked a passenger on one of the busses that ply be tween Raleigh and Norfolk. "As fast as it will go," was the quick reply, which might have been start ling but for the fact that the pas senger had been watching the speed ometer of the bus as it registered 65 miles an hour. ' There are those who contend that this rate of speed is not particularly dangerous to the occupants of the bus; they say that the bus is heavy and the driver generally experienced and careful. This may or may not be true, but it cannot be denied that big busses traveling at this rate of speed are dangerous to other traffic. It might not be a bad idea for the patrolmen to take notice of the rate of speed at which these busses travel. o-yT), v-'--'wy GclthjAhcdl I the 'macic of nLTE'I:!? By Fiord B. Fomr, , n .t i ., '..

I HURRY THROUGH WITH STATE RADIO Intention on the part of the Safety Division of the State Highway De partment to establish a State-wide radio system of detection or appre hension, is a wise move and found its justification up this way this week. A 75-year-old man was killed by a hit and run driver on the streets of Chadbourn, down near Wilmington. The killing occurred last ; Saturday night A quick , observation gave a slant on the offending car and driver. Had : the radio system ? been in vogue the signal "Calling all cars! Calling all cars!" would have gone out on the air within ten minutes after the accident and every State highway patrolman on the alert would have got his tip off instantly to catch his man. Instead the proceedure attempted was otherwise ' crude but all that could be done. The Chadbourn au thorities caught the direction the of fender ; was . traveling, north, and telephoned to., the next town to lay for him. The message arrived too late, however, and was relayed by telephone from town to town on the Coastal Route north, each' time to be too late to be of service. Word finally got. to. Lieutenant Lester Jones in Greenville. That ex teDent .officer worked .out... a ;. radio svstero of his own. and instantly. In conJuetioitH the Greenville -tele- .

L. W. It is about time for the annual Snake stories to begin to come in. Sometimes these stones take on something of the nature of the. tall story, but more often than not there is too much truth in them for com fort; that is, for the comfort of those who happen to come in contact with the snakes. The two varieties of snakes found in Perquimans which are most gen' erally feared are the rattler and the moccasin, both deadly snakes. How ever, though many of these two spe cies are killed every year, nobody is bitten. . . The first authentic snake story to reach, my ears this summer comes from J. H. Miller, of Winf all, whose word nobody 4 doubts. Mr." Miller iwyavhaii kittle loath, ta tell the story, however, for-i fear hia iieigh- bors may stop coming to see him. - .V.-at'was sitting on m. front prcn one day recently when ' he noticed the family cat behaving in a most unusual ' manner. At first he couldn't ' understand what was the matter. e He had never seen r the old cat' behave like that, nd fiien his startled, jpxe fell upon a rattle snakei. ' - ' ' - "Well, I 'suppose th snake' was attempting to charm the eat!" ex claimed a man who heard Mr. Miller telltfae story. But suppose , it was the other way around. Snakes aren't the only charmers. All my life J have heard of the powers of the eat to charm the birds, i I ,am wondering which' la the greater chamer, the cat or the" r snake." Maybe" the cat picture, how does it sometimes hap pen that those beautiful clouds are scarcely noticeable ,in the print and the distant bills just barely visible? Maybe because when we took the picture-we did ootAiise .a siiuUl enough lens Opening, but even that would not always be the answer. The failure is more likely, due to the fact that we did not use a filter, that magical little gadget of colored gelatine fixed between glass, discs, which, when placed over the lens, changes the effect on the film of the different rays of the spectrum. ' Just what is the property in a filter that so cleverly captures the beauty of clouds and helps to bring out distant detail? It is, its color that makes the difference ': and generally yellow filters are used. The reason is that In photography the Invisible ultra-violet ray of the spectrum and the violet: and blue rays do most of the recording, of images,' and on all types of film their effect tends to predominate regardless of variation itt the sen sitivity of different types to differ ent colors. Yellow, of a certain qual ity, In a filter will counteract these rays, holding them back and letting the other rays do their work on the film without interference. . . Clouds and blue sky both' are rich In ultra-violet, violet ' and blue So, ? if we put over our lens a yellow 'filter to hold these rays hack, the , other rays will do the work and the clouds will be distinguished - from the sky. They will, appear whiter than the sky. Strange as it may seem, clouds also contain a certain amount of green and orange rays. So, u we use a nun wucn is not very sensitive to the orange and green rays, (the chrome type) ' the contrast between clouds . and sky will be emphasised. : . -s A yellow filter also makes grass and the leaves of trees photograph lighter instead of appearing black. It also performs another valuable function. It gives sharper detail to distant objects by cutting through base, which has an excess of blue light Also in taking pictures of flowers, or of indoor furnishings, a filtet enables us to achieve correct tone contrasts. " -''-, There are five yellow filters suit able for amateur use, each perform ing somewhat differently. Among them the K-l, which, is a medium yellow, gives the best general color correction with the ordinary and the chrome type of film, and prac tically full correction with the pan atomic and panchromatic film. Ex posure with a filter must be in creased, depending on the density of the color. Instructions furnished with each filter tell Just how to use it ' If you have never tried a filter, put a K-l or K-2 over your lens some sunny day when there are tumbling white clouds over the horizon. You ' win be surprised at the difference ii makes. ".-'M JOHN TAN OUILDl," Claesinsd and 5. NOTICE. OF ADMINISTRATION Havinsr qualified as Administrator of the estate of Lula C.
