Land For Picnic Area
The Perquimans County
Chamber of Commerce is
leasing about seven acres of
land here from the state at a
dollar a year, which it will make
into a picnic-playground area.
It is located at the in
tersection of U.S. 17 and N.C. 37.
The agreement between
North Carolina and the
Chamber is the culmination of
about a decade of work by the
latter to establish a large,
comfortable and well-equipped
rest area for visitors.
A meeting was recently held
n!l. 0U.n..UA
DIKH OiilcLV IU
With the beginning of the new
school year Chief of Police, Ben
L. Gibbs, asked that all children
please learn and obey the
following bike safety rules.
1. Obey all traffic regulations-'
signal lights, stop signs and one
way streets. Give proper hand
signals for turns and stops.
2. Ride on the right side of the
street or highway. Avoid con
jected roadways. Stay off
sidewalks.
3. Ride in single file.
4. Bicycles should be
equipped with horn or bell,
adequate light on front and a
red light or reflector on rear.
5. Watch for cars pulling out
into traffic from a parked
position, from driveways, and
filling sations.
6. Ride at a safe distance from
parked cars to avoid striking
doors opened in your path.
7. Hitching a ride on another
vehicle may result in a serious
accident.
8. A bicycle is built for one.
Carrying another rider throws
the bicycle out of balance and
makes steering difficult. When
packages are to be carried, use
basket or carrier. Be able to see
and steer safely. V
9. Slow dowR at all. In
tersections. Give the right of
way to cars and pedestrians, as
a matter of safety for yourself
and as a matter of courtesy and
right to pedestrians, '
10. A safe rider does not
"stunt', "show-off, or race on
streets or highways.
11. A safe rider keeps his
bicycle in good mechanical
condition. Steering, brakes,
lights, tires, wheels, guards,
bell, or horn, and proper
lubrication.
12. Avoid riding at night
unless your bike is well lighted.
See and be seen.
A GOOD BICYCLE
DESERVES A GOOD RIDER.
A GOOD RIDER HAS A SAFE
BIKE.
It might be a good idea for the
older generation to brush up on
these rules too.

The weather was fine and good
by the Chamber, county and

A sketch of what the proposed
picnic area will look like -was

There will be two parking
areas, each offering accisss.lo
the two highways, a reslj ajrea
and picnic tables. :
"At a later date playgrpinid
equipment will probably;: be
added," said Chamber
President R.L. Stevenson. ;.; .
No estimate was available as
to the cost of the project
"Our main concern now,"
Mrs. Young said, "is to get the
picnic area cleared, driveways
fixed and tables set up."
Later plans call for water and
lights to be added.
The site was turned over to
the Chamber because, "the
state doesn't need it," said 1st
District Highway . Com
missioner Joe Nowell who
added, "this could help the
community of Winfall. .
"It could eventually open the
doors to some business
establishing itself near the
site," he said.
State law prohibits a hon-
nrnfit nraanivnflnn ( rnm
maintaining such a leased area
for more than three years.
"After that," Stevenson said,
"the property will probably be
turned over either to the county
or the town of Winfall."
