Memorial Day i
Safety Urged j
Be. careful that you don't
get as mixed up as the Me
morial '. Day. holiday tljis
year, and go banging into
one of the thousand or
more traffic accidents which
the N. C State Motor ClUb
warns may claim the lives
of at least 21 persons on
North 1 Carolina's streets
and highways.
' Although it wiljl be. busi
ness as usual 'for most
companies on Monday, May -29,
the state will officially
count its holiday highway
fatalities frOm 6 P. M;,
Friday, May 26, through
midnight Tuesday, May 30,
a period of 102 hours.
Thus, motorists probably
will encounter not one- but
two-separate streams: of
highway congestion if 1 he
heads for the mountains
or beaches over the week
end or on the holiday.
The 1966 traffic toll for a
78-hour period was 21
killed and 500 injured; ia
950 accidents reported. jt
: Leading driver violations
were: speeding, 178; failur
to yield right of way, 133i
driving left of center of the
road, 120; and following
too closely, 78. 75
"Memorial Day tradition
ally marks the opening of
the summer vacation seaV
son," said Thomas B. Wat-
kins, president of the mo-'
tor club. "This brings in--
creased congestion on the
highways and greatly in-j
creases . the possibilities fori
accidents. So be alert and)
cqnsiderate to , make surei
you're not the 'other fel-!
low' who has all those ac-i
cidents." . )

py Day. Mrs. Lessie (
White of Winfall and Mrs.
Geneva Sawyer of Hertford ,
are co-chairmen of - the .
American Legion Auxiliary
Poppy sales in Perquimans
County and she is urging

show that you y-emember.
By wearing a memorial
poppy on Poppy Day next
Saturday, people of Per
quimans will be paying
tribute to those who gave
their lives for America in
three wars of this century.
The poppy as the memor
ial flower for American
war dead, is a tradition
which began in the years
following the first World
Waj Returning service
men brought with them
memories of the battlefield
poppies, and the flower
soon took on a sacred sig
nificance. The red blossom
became the flower of re
membrance for the men
whose lives had been lost
in the defense of freedom.
The flowers, made by
disabled servicemen, raised
funds for relief work
among handicapped vet
erans and their families.
