DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT;
EXAMINE YOUR LICENSE
Not Everyone Knows His Drivers
License Expires on His
Birthday

Do you know that your drivers
license expires on your birthday,
even though it was originally is
sued to you for four years? State
Highway patrolmen have been cit
ing into Court all operators whose
licenses they examine that have
expired on the licensees birthday,
even though the four years from
date of original issue have not ex-
pired.
Section 2O-7 General Statutes
of North Carolina, provides that
any person who drives without a
license in violation of the general
rule is guilty of a misdemeanor.
The penalty for such a violation
is fine of not less than $25 or
Imprisonment of not less than thir-
ty days, or both such fine and i'm
prlsonment in the discretion of the
Court.
And the same Statute, POT, I'M
der Subsection (f) says: "The
operators licenses issued under
this section shall automatically ex-
pire on the birthday of the licensee
in the fourth year following the
year of issuance; and no new IL
cense shall be issued to any opera
tor after the expiration of his Ii
cense until such operator has again
passed the examination specified
in this section"
A word to the wise is sufficient.
Don't let the Patrolman catch you
after your birthday has passed,
with an old drivers license in your
pocket until you have examined
it to see when it expires. The law
applies to you whether you are
20 years old or 20.
And the law provides further,
Chapter 1896, Section 8, Session
Laws of 1851: "a. No person
whose operators license has ex-
pired shall be convicted of opera
ting a motor vehicle without an
operators license if he produces in
Court a valid new operators IL
cense issued to him within thirty
days after the expiration Of his
prior license"

The carpenters had just com.

that DR.. Fuller would not object to

nurses for a while.
She sat back on her heels and
looked around. The room, which
overlooked portion of the hospital

distant hills, was furnished more
with an eye to utility than beauty.
A few minutes later, when she
heard somebody coming, she got ur

came breathlessly into the room.
She was wearing an undergradu-

sunglasses in her hand and moving
with youthful exuberance that
characterized her as Astounding in

DISGUSTING AND
DISGRACEFUL q

The crummy kind of carnival
that has been permitted to hold
sway in Dare County for the past
two weeks, should be subject to

the sort of attraction that is down.
right revolving and dishonest, a
black eye to any community that
shelters it, and tends to discredit
anyone who sponsors it.
This carnival that held for
week in Manteo, and week on
the beach, beat Dare County out
of $1,000 or more in license taxes
in guise of being a benefactor of
the VFW Post. What the WV
post got wouldn't pay for the
damage done the schoolhouse
grounds, and the baseball park
which other fellows have worked
so hard to build up. The ground
was left Uttered with trash and
broken glass.
The Commissioners should never
have RENTED to this lousy carni-
val the taxes they should have
paid to operate a bingo game, no
matter who sponsored it. We have
property owners, citizens, and
taxpayers in Dare County who
own and pay to operate bingo
games. And this crummy outfit
comes and operates free as air.
They had a lousy collection of for
tune tellers who should have paid
$500 apiece, but paid nothing.
But this is not the worst. This
outfit took thousands Of dollars
away from the community, stole
hundreds of dollars through its
crooked gambling games, from
people who for the most part were
unable to pay. We have the story
straight from several sources.
A teen-age DO ygoes to the bank
and draws out 500 Of carefully
boarded savings won by hard
work, and CANDLES it away on the
wide-open crap game, where dice
and money both are publicly ex-
posed on the table.
A hardworking good natured
taxi-driver who does no wrong,
and never harmed nobody, and
needs all he earns for desperate
invalid mother, gets stripped of
more than $50
A young wife working in a store
gets trimmed Of $125.
The wife of highway worker
loses $140.
Where were the local officers
while this was going on. Some of
them on the scene enjoying the
sight, or maybe off down the dock
trying to nab a couple of old Grip
Piles for playing penny ante.
Where were the school authori-
ties asleep? when they turned over
the school grounds to this motley
they might damage school proper
outfit of misfits and crooks that
ty paid for by the taxpayers while
laughing at the simplicity of peo-
pie supposedly intelligent yet who
tolerated them?
No doubt by this time those who
sponsored this outfit are thorough
ly ashamed of it. The outfit didn't
pay the town of Manteo neither
the taxes it should have paid the
town also. Why this cheap, ragged,
run down at tint heels outfit, peo-
pied by freaks who looked like the
last remnants of hobo days. They
don't even buy their electricity in
the communities they operate in
but haul around their own gene
rator, and the damned outfit is
going late at night with the most
gosh-awful jazz transcriber to keep

At that moment Kate stood deep
in conversation with DR.. Benjamin
Smith.
For some time she had remained
on the sun deck battling her emo
tons while she gazed out over a
city lying somnolent beneath the
heat Of the midday sun.
In the distance she had seen the
sun sparkling on a strip Of blue
water. Up that river a few miles
was the college she had attended.
She could imagine the familiar, ivy
clad buildings in the center of a
broad, tree-dotted campus. She had

her father many practical things
that never found their ay into med
ical books, she had received a
blow that threatened to end her col
lege education.
Her father, off on a short vaca.
ton, was killed in a plane crash.
Engulfed in sorrow and aware
that her father had not been a we'll
to-do man, Kate announced to the
family that she was leaving college
and going to work. They would not
listen to it, though ct one time her
sisters, both now married, had con-
sidered Kate rather queer because
she preferred medicine to marriage.
Kate's scholastic marks were
high. She could apply for a scholar
ship, the family said; also, she
could secure a parttime job while
in college that would take care of
her room and board. Encouras ed
by their faith in her, Kate pro-
ceeded along these lines and it was
through the college employment
bureau that she had gone to live in
the home Of DR.. Benjamin Smith,
who had applied for a student to
act as companion to his elderly and
irascible mother.
She had been thinking II all over
as she stood looking out over River
dale which, because Of her associa-
tons with the place. seemed more
home to her now than her own
birthplace. She was lost IN memory

GIRLS AUXILIARY

The Girls Auxiliary of Rose

The Key West citizen., 1952-12-24

One of the things we like about
Key West is the way folks pitch
in and help each other out when
trouble looms-----not just at Christ
mas time but the year round.
Witness the fine response when
the Citizen prints story about
someone in need after a fire, some
other disaster or the March of
Dimes Campaign.
And Key West seems to have
blossomed forth with an abundance
of the Yuletide spirit what with
all the street decorations, and the
music issuing from the carillons
of the city's churches.
But what makes the season more
worthwhile is the fact that behind
the facade of commercialism and
tinsel is that this is the time of
year that seems to encourage
simple acts of human kindness
that make you feel good when YOU
hear of them.
We were told of one particularly
heartwarming incident the other
day which, to our way of thinking,
reflects the true spirit of the sea-
son.

with colored lights and the Duval
