Scfo Easter : Is Encouraged ? The Easter weekend, which traditionally opens the spring travel season, will . also bring sudden death to at least 20 persons in traffic accidents on North Carolina streets and high ways, warns the N. C. State Mo tor Club. The state will begin its offi cial count of holiday deaths at v 5P;- M. Friday, April 16; and continue through midnight Mon day, April 19, a period of 78 hours. - TheY state's "Bloody Easter" trafflctoll last year added up to 23 killed and 501 injured in 777 accidents.. Of 812 driver viola tions reported, the leading causes of accidents were: speed ing, 138; failure to yield right of way, 125; driving left of cen ter, 112; following too closely, 80, and reckless driving, 74. Driving on the wrong side of the road accounted for five of the 23 deaths. Thomas B. Watkins, president of the N. C. State Motor Club and the National Automobile As sociation, , pointed out that ex tra hazards confront motorists r.n the highways during the Easter weekend and said: "Our statistics bear out the fact that the1 accident potential rises threefold on hoilday week ends. One of the main factors in this increase is the urge ,to drive too far and too fast in too little time. Normally cautious drivers become impatient with momentary traffic tie-ups and take chances they would norm ally avoid. So drive carefully and don't became the 'other fel low' who always has all those traffic accidents."

Mrs. Floyd Benton of Hertford spends much time working on her favorite hobby making de signs out of pine cones and oth er native materials. . However, this young home maker has taken advantage of fhe fact .that tourists like to buy gifts typical of the area in which they are visiting instead of gifts purchased, from foreign coun tries. ;So many of her special designs , are, now offered for sale in gift shops in the tourist areas,. .. With the help of her mother, who Jives in the country, Mrs. Bentpri collects pine cones, hick ory nuts, cotton x burrs, tulip pods, camellia buds, sweet gum balls and all kinds of nuts.
