No Highway Deaths

Vance county achieved a record
in July by winning 4 place among a
few more than half OF the counties
OF the State without 4 highway ia
tally. Not that there has never been
a perfect month before. but all too
often there have been deaths on
traffic lanes within these borders.
For a long time that section OF
Route within the county> borders
and adjacent thereto has had the
reputation OF being the most haz-
ardouS Of the couple of thousand
miles OF SO of this great national
highway. Other roads in the area
have. OF course. contributed TO the
CORY record.
Vance county citizens have not
been involved nor been responsible
for many OF the fatalities that have
occurred: q large portion Of them
have been tourists on the north
south traffic route. But they have
been charged to our record, and
that mas hurt. Unfamiliarity with
difficult terrain has caused some OF
the deaths, but that does not reduce
them.
Those OF is who live here and
vino do know the freakiSh character
;sc.cS OF OH roads should make it
rule Of everyday life to use the
utmost caution here and elsewhere.
so as to avoid serious or fatal acct
dents.
