City School Board Sets Up New Junior High Schoo
FUND FOR
WIDENING ROUTE |
Fact of Its Being National
Highway Considered
Favorable Factor

ALLEGATION of funds for the pro-
posed widening of Route one, the
Federal national highway, between
Henderson and Norlina, is expected
from the State Highway Commission
at an early date, Chairman Samuel
M. Watkins, of the Vance Board of
County Commissioners, said today.
The board at it's September meeting
the first Monday in the month, went
on record as requesting the commits
sion to widen the highway for the
16-mile stretch.
Mr.. Watkins understands that
Route 1 has more or less favored
consideration because of the fact that
it is the nations premier highway,
and the longest single road in the
nation. He pointed out the density of
through traffic over the Henderson
Norlina segment of the road was the
greatest in the State, by reason Of tho
fact that it carries traffic from Nor
folk and Portsmouth as well as the
direct North-South motor load.
The highway has always had a
hard-surface of the standard 18-foot
width constructed by the State. A
widening of the road on each side by
IL to Is inches is desired. This would
reduce the hazards tremendously it
is thought, and would make the road
safer for traffic over that section OF
the route.

CAPT. c. D. FARMER
ADDRESSESRO
Highway Patrol Head Talks
on "Highway Safety" Be-
fore Civic Group

Captain Charles D. Farmer, head
of the North Carolina State Highway
Patrol, was guest speaker at the
regular weekly meeting of the Rot
airy Club last evening at $50 o'clock
at the First Presbyterian church.
Captain Farmer talked to the
group on Highway Safety, citing
statistics that all be appalled, his
hearers. He told his hearers that if
they could picture trip from Bos-
ton, Mass. to San Francisco, Cal, and
all the dead and injured in highway
accidents were on that highway, one
w6uld see an injured person every
fifteen feet, and corpse every forty
feet along the route He told his
hearers that 1,095 persons lost their
lives on the highways of North
Carolina last year.
The high patrol head stated that he
was of the opinion that the present
force of 12O patrolmen should be
raised to 300 to better patrol the co.
900 miles of highways in the State.
He intimated that the radio to be in.
stalled soon for the benefit of the
highway patrol would greatly curb
accidents. Filling stations, he said,
along the highways would be given
the telephone number of the nearest
broadcasting station, and the opera
tors would be instructed to call the
station in time of accidents or re-
port reckless drunken driving, and a
patrolman would be dispatched to
the scene.
The drivers license law, Captain
Farmer said, had done much to curb
some of the recklessness, and that the
law really had teeth in it, many of
whom who have had their license re-
voked had found.
Above ALL the speaker asserted,
the real factor in the promotion of
highway safety is the individual eff
fort on the part of every driver. If
every driver would do his share to
promote safety, North Cardinals
highways would be among the safest,
the speaker stated.
Captain Farmer was introduced by
B. H. Perry, and ]. w. Jenkins was
in charge of the program.
L. L. Miller, Henderson high new
athletic director, and Warren Weldon
of Oxford, were guests of the club.
