Fulk Is Pressing
Safety Drive For
State All Around
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch Bureau,

Raleigh, June 29-North Carolina's
drive for safety on the highways is
being theoretically pushed on all
fronts by Major Arthur Fulk, head %
the Motor Vehicle Safety division and
commander of the State Highway
Patrol. ~
One of the most recent innovations
is utilization of every convention, or
other event bringing many people to-
gether, in order to spread the gospel
of safety.
For instance, Major Fulk himself
was in Winston-Salem Monday while
the American Legion convention was
in session. He took one of the Safety
Campaign" cars over, made sure that
it was seen prominently on all thu
Streets, and did. quite a bit of mis-
sionary work
At the same time Ronald Hocutt
assistant director of the safety d.
vision, was in Wilmington in an If.
fort to interest the Safety Council
there in sending a safety delegation
70 the tobacco festival to be held in
Wilson, August Is to IS. ~
Thousands are expected to atten1
this exposition, and it is the hope Of
Major Fulk that every city in the
State having a Safety Council will
send delegation (such as it's junior
safety patroD to attend and to as
sist in safety demonstrations whic.,
will be given.
Meanwhile the major and other Of
ficials continue to preach" safety
everywhere and at every opportunity.
The patrol commander is in Her.
derson today, where he will speak
BEFORE one of the civic clubs At the
meetings he never misses a chance
to talk safety. ira.e
The entire campaign received quite
an impetus with the concrete six
point program outlined recently by
