Be A Better Driver
During 1971
Make your New Year's
resolution to be a better driver
during 1971 and start out by
avoiding the 900 traffic accidents
which may claim 17 lives and
injure over 500 persons on North
Carolina's streets and highways
during the long New Year's
holiday, the N.C. State Motor
Club cautions.
The state will count its holiday
highway toll from 6 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 31, through
midnight Sunday, Jan. 3, a 78
hour period. Last year in a 102-
hour period, the casualty count
came to 14 killed and 644 injured
in 1,281 accidents, with no
fatalities listed in the 30 hours of
New Year's Eve and New Year's
Day.
Leading accident causes were
speeding, failure to yield right of
way, driving left of center and
under the influence of alcohol.
"North Carolina goes into this
holiday period well behind the
1969 highway fatality pace," said
Thomas B. Watkins, president of
the motor club and the National
Automobile Association.
'Keep your New Year's
resolution to be a better driver so
we can end 1970 with fewer
traffic deaths than last year

Moon Rocks
The capsule, along with a
specimen of rock that was
brought back from the moon by
the astronauts and the space
suits they wore, is being trans
ported on a specially built, 14-
foot "lowboy" trailer.
The width of the trailer ex
ceeds the legal maximum high
way width and a special permit
had to be obtained in California
and accepted in each state. For
safety reasons, the capsule will
move during daylight hours only
and will not move on Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays.
A total of 125 drivers from 78
trucking companies have been'
furnished to move the trailer and
its two escort cars on their 13,500
mile journey. A team of three
drivers, headed by a "driver
supervisor," will move the
capsule between the cities.

Behind That Christmas Dinner
Thirty-five airmen here will
provide the base population with
Christmas dinner this year
Working almost around the
clock, the cooks and bakers
assigned here will serve the
traditional Yule turkey "with all
the trimmings.
"With all the trimmings" will
mean more than the usual meal
to the more than 2,500 people who
will sit down to the feast here on
Christmas Day. It will mean
cooking 600 pounds of rolled
boneless and 650 pounds of whole
turkey, 400 separate pies, and
dishing out 1,000 pounds of fruits
and nuts.
Enjoying the holiday meal will
mark the end of a long day and
the culmination of dedicated food
preparation by the food services
section here. According to Sgt
John H. White of Hertford, N.C,
"It's a lot of work, and normally
we come out with a better
product" Sergeant White makes
sure the turkeys brown to per
fection in the hugh ovens.
"Everybody pitches in and
helps. But to a cook it's just
another day in the kitchen.
However, I care about the
finished product."
To Sat. Herman Joppy of
Harrisburg, Pa., who helps
prepare tons of salad for the
holiday feast, this meal means a
lot "I really enjoy putting this

Scheduled For Raleigh
irom the previous trip's team so
that each supervisor will be
experienced in the moving of the
capsule.
The tour schedule was
prepared so that the convoy
would have the best possible
weather conditions throughout
the tour - north in the summer
and south in the winter. The
capsule is shown in a different
state capital each weekend.
There was difficulty in
establishing a value for the
historic capsule so, to play it
safe, Heavy Specialized Carriers
Conference is carrying a $10
million insurance policy on it.
The Raleigh "capsule com
mander" will be driver Richard
A. Dant, of Jetco, Inc.,
Alexandria, Virginia. Dant was
selected because of his good
driving record, neat personal
appearance and conscientious
happy to see the troops enjoying
their Christmas dinner."
And to the guy who carves the
turkey so carefully, Christmas
also has a very special meaning.
"It's a big day for everybody and
you just try and make it as nice
as you can for the GIs," said
SSgt. David Harms of Rankin,
111. ''Almost everyone works all
day, there is no shift work, and
it s almost a 24-hour operation."
To the cooks preparing the
Christmas dinner it's work, but
to the airmen in the dining hall,
it's all enjoyment. Sgt. Robert S
Goodman of Connellsville, Ga.,
assigned to the same
organization as the cooks, the
6251st Combat Support Group,
commented on this forthcoming
Christmas meal. "I haven't been
in Vietnam long, but I really look
forward to it Of course what will
be missing is my family, but I
guess I can't have everything."
Behind the lines, back in the
kitchen, the 35 cooks and bakers
will work to please Sergeant
Goodman and the other 2,000-
plus men who will be eating their
Christmas meal here.

Out of State Tax
Returns Available
A limited supply of out-of-state

to newcomers to North Carolina,
IRS District Director J E. Wall
revealed today.
A resident of North Carolina

another state having income tax
may obtain a copy of his former
state's return by mailing a
request to: Public Information
Officer, IRS, P. O. Box 20541,

Getting Married,
Girls? Let Your
Social Security Know
J.E. Wall, District Director of
the Internal Revenue Service,
said today that ladies who get
married should be sure and have
their names changed on the
records of the Social Security
Administration.
Wall said that many women
taxpayers who marry and do not
change their names with Social
Security have their tax refund
checks held up because the
Social Security number on the
tax return does not match the
name on record at the Service
Center in Chamblee, Georgia.
Wall said that many refund
checks are delayed each year for
this reason.
