Speed on 'Speed' SpeM Defends Patrol Policy Of Chasing , RALEIGH , The high speed chase is a "last re sort tactic" employed by the State Highway Patrol to apprehend traffic vio lators who flee from the flashing . blue light a n d siren. Occasionally, the patrol is subjected to strong cri ticism for pursuing a driv er at high speeds. The cri ticism usually follows a high-speed . chase ; which ends in a fatal . accident Such was the case in . De cember when three, young men. were killed near Ma rion during ..pursuit by a. State Highway' ') f, a, I r o 1 tower; v.l-;;:.-'..,! :.. "! After , uchi (, tragic-. Inci dents, the patrol 1. some times accused of responsi bility for the deaths of the victims. The fatalities would not: have occurred, say the critics, had the pa trol not insisted uport its policy of hot pursuit ' The highway patrol com mander, Col. Charles Epeed, offers spirited defense of the policy. : '! -i4ra:y,- j we . . daeply i t ary tJUZl''t result1 "trT i h ' 'i r ed t , ' . . S C 'cd. " rr' -"" 7 of - lit Production! ' Miss Carolyn Lee Eddy, a former Miss Virginia js appearing this summer in Gatlinburg, Tenn., with the Gateway Stock Company of New York. The compafiy, organized by John Rich ards, , is. made ; up almbst entirely of former students of The American Academy of i Dramatic Arts, N?w York City, the foremost m stitution of dramatic trail ing in America. Miss Ed dy has been selected to re turn to the Academy this fall. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Eddy of Norfolk. Mrs. Eddy and daughte, Kathy, and Mrs. Freeland Elliott and daughter, Mrs. Richard Rutkiewicz of Jacksonville, Fla., returned Sunday from a visit . to The Smokies and Gatlin burg where they attended the Company's presentation of "See How They Run." Miss Eddy had a leading role. Know-Howls Very Helpful How much time would you be willing to devote to save someone's life? If the life that you were try ing to save happened to be someone very near oa dear to you, would you be any tetter prepared or qualified to take the : necessary emergency action that might be required? 'rTo ,have good intentions and be available is all well and good. .. But under standing the symptoms and knowing . what action to take : could make the dif ference between LIFE and DEATH. So many times we see Victims'. -.of accidents who are improperly treated or not treated at all simply because no one at the acci dent scene had bothered to acquire the necessary FIRST AID skills. We can ; teach you the necessary skills if you will attend six two-hour ses sions in a First Aid Class to be conducted in your area in the near - future. Let's plan TODAY to Sur vive Tomorrow.; The doc tor may not always be available when you need him. Learn skills offered by First Aid and Medical Self Help training it's so easy. of them. "However, if the patrol shoufd abandon its policy of pcrsuit at whatever speed is necessary, traffic law enforcement would quickly become a mock ery," adds the patrol com mander. "And many more deaths would surely re sult" Speed views the tactics of chase ; as similar to the duty, of . a policeman: who happens upon, . burglars breaking into a store. ; j "It the burglars run, the officer's, job is. to pursue, attempt to apprehend, them and use ..whatever le.gal means A are necessary to their,, capture" Speed' de clares. "Should the, po liceman stand by and watch the robbery take place and do nothing to catch the thieves, the word would soon get around to other potential lawbeark ers. And before long it would be open season in the burglary- trade," the colonel adds. , Speed says public knowl edge 'of the patrol's pursuit' policy serves" as a', deterl rr-f "tO'hcHi'Oe-l 'viofci- tiwIS. f "-i1 H "i V'i l',W 1' , "But! let -it'i.be .iknown' fcst. oitf ronpessl will not finrnlvn HrlHv life Saving LUTHER BRITT Jaycees Hear Some 150 Area "B" Jay cdes heard Luther Britt, president of the North Ca rolina Jaycees, challenge them to "Make Things Happen" in his address of Wednesday night of last week in the Edenton Jay cce Community .

Speed points out. In order to secure the kind of evidence that will stand up, in court, a trooperNmust apprehend a driver and make positive identification. ' "We'd never get a con.' viction in court on 'the basis of1 a license number, or a , trooper's visual ob servation of a' driver from the .rear' and at' high speeds,'' declares the patrol commander. ', ' : ' V ol. Speed says his men, even with their training in pursuit driving, ; are re luctant to chase fleeing ve hides at high speed.

Now is the time for fall garden planning. If you need in formation on gardening, please contact, the County Extension office. Sylvia Porter, writes the following excerpts on "Why Gar den?" There are significant rea sons why you might return to the old-time' family veg etable garden, and this goes , for you, ' : the comfortable . middle-class family as well as the hard-pressed lower income family. For instance, the prices you and I pay for vege tables are again slated to rise this summer, because severe freezes and droughts this past winter and spring in many areas of the U. i. have led to sharply .-reduced supplies. Home gardens could help many families in lower income brackets offset ris ing food prices, or at least give them an outlet , for. their resentment oyer the price; rises and a new way ; to', "boycott" the -risesV fr j Also suggesting a resur-, gence ; of the home yoge-,, table ' garden is the ; overf all .bpom. in, flower garden-. ing and homelandscaping, now . a multi-billion dollar business. Behind this boom in turn,, is the steady ex pansion in our leisure time, in the form of longer va cations, more paid holidays, more long weekends.

The largest group of bills are Confederate scrip including examples of North Carolina issues by year, bills il lustrating the lack of paper during the Civil War, county and town issues from the Albemarle area, and bills with particularly interesting engravings. The Confederate Museum in Richmond is lending the Museum of the Albe marle a lithographic proof stone and copper engraving plate so that the process of printing money is in cluded in this exhibit.
