f - o
Labor Day week-end which
starts Friday at 6 P. M.
The plan, according to Pa
trolman B. R. Inscoe, is to have
all motorists to drive with
lights on as a symbol of their
pledge for safety in recognition
of their awareness of the traf
fic accident problem.
Lights on, Inscoe said, will
indicate to other highway users
that the driver is conscientious
ly observing all safety rules in
a cooperative effort to keep thel
holiday accident experience as
low as possible.
Motorists are urged to drive
with their lights burning from
6 P. M Friday through 12 mid
night, September 4.
Pointing out the need for co
operation from all motorists, Mr.
Inscoe said Perquimans County
had three fatal accidents during
1960, and thus far this year the
number of fatalities' is four.
Five of these fatalities he said
were teenagers, and all fatal ac
cidents occurred between mid
night and 6 A. M.

are urged to exercise some con-ollowell, co-chairmen of the'
