theme Of the May traffic accident
program being sponsored. by the
Motor Vehicle Department.
This is one cause of traffic &C.
cidents," Wilson said, that we can
really sink our teeth into and coil
ouer-the 16 per cent of all fatal
traffic accidents in which improp-
er vehicle maintenance plays 4
part. This has brought about a
wave of measures designed to- weed
out unsafe cars"
Explaining that the May slogan,
ITO check accidents-double check
your car" is GOOD advice whether
Inspection ordinances exist or not,
Wilson said, Leaving check of
your car up % experienced per
sons isn't like going to the dentist
twice a year. It's the individual,
day-to-day responsibility of the
motorist, and it's your life, not "a
toothache, at stake"

And yet" Wilson said, this
cold, statistical estimate OF the

One Down, Two To
Go For Voters

With the Better Schools and
Roads bond issue behind the voters
of Tabor City, there are still two
more elections which will call them
back to the polls.
The election of town officials
will take place next Tuesday, June
IA.
The entire county will go to the
polls July II to vote on the estao-
lishment of ABC stores for the
legal sales of whiskey.
After that, the voters can sit
back and rest their weary think

Honesty may be the best policy
in the long run, but many people
insist on taking short cuts.
