Red Cross Asks
Questions On
Winter Safety

In the interests of personal
safety, E. Forest Hallet, Red
Cross director of First Aid for
the Boston Metropolitan Chapter,
has several questions for your
consideration.
On icy and slippery streets:
Are you doubly cautious? Are
you sure your brakes are adj
justed evenly? When your car
begins to skid, are the front
wheels turned in the direction of
the skid; do you apply the brakes
carefully in short jabs with the
clutch engaged?
In foggy weather:
creased if ordinary caution is
exercised.
He urged motorists to be pre-
pared for any eventuality on the
road during the winter months,
and to drive safely at all times.
Are you sure your automobile
equipment - lights, windshield
wiper, defrosters, brakes, horn =
are in good shape?. Do you re-
duce your speed so as to be in
control at all times?

PerEnasean Is Solution
To Problem Of Laying
FeIt-Base LinoIeum

The problem of allowing free
dom of movement and eliminat-
ing ''buckle" has been answered
in Permaseam, a product devel-
oped by Louis ]. Buckrnan, local
flooring merchant, and head of
Namkub Products, 656 E. Broad
way.
Mr.. Buckman has developed a
plastic material known as Perma-
seam to be used with loose-laid
installations of felt-base. When
Permaseam is. used, approxi-
mateIy II inch space is left be-
tween pieces of felt-base at the
seam. Permaseam is nailed in
the gap, with fianges overlapping
the edges of the felt-base. This
permits the felt-base to grow
without buckling. If necessary
to retrim the material it can be
pulled out and cut.

Collecting" AS owners of over
800 hundred dolls, the Misses

sharing some of their dolls with
the Boston Public Library, as well

An opportunity to see examples
of story book, character, and his

They were particularly captivated
with "Goldilocks and the Three
Bears" "Alice in Wonderland"
and "The White Rabbit"
Prior to the talk, each little
girl proudly exhibited her own
doll, which she had been asked
to bring with her. Lollipops were
distributed to both youngsters

let this law go into effect in the
customary way and leave you to
learn about its penalties the hard
way. 1t stipulated that the effec-
tive date should be postponed un-
til January l, thus giving us some
eight months to set up the neces-
sary administrative machinery
and at the proper time acquaint
the public with its provisions be-
fore the law could hurt anyone.
That is the reason 1 am speak
ing to you this evening, nor is this
the last time that I shall seek an
opportunity to discuss our new
Motor Vehicle Safety Response
bility Law with you. Naturally, I
could not hope to give you in
one radio talk, all of the facts
that you should have. Therefore,
between now and midnight De-
cember 81, we shall use all of the
familiar means of public contact
to enlighten you accurately and
adequately. In that effort, we
have obtained the support of
number of important and public
spirited groups.
The leaflet, which l mentioned
earlier in this talk, is being made
available to you through the fine
cooperation of the petroleum
distributors and the many gas
oline stations that dot our state.
This talk is made possible by he
generous cooperation of the radio
stations in North Carolina, and
during the remainder of this

I wonder how many of you
good people, out there in your
comfortable North Carolin a
homes, remember that early last
spring our Legislature enacted a
new law to assure all of us much
greater personal salty and
property security when we are
walking or riding or driving on
our busy streets and highways?
I suspect that not many of you,
in the midst of these crowded and
sometimes trying days recall
very much about that statute.
The time has come, however,
when all of US must understand
its requirements and penalties or
run the risk of suffering extreme
ly serious consequences for our
negligence. 1 am referring, of
course, to our new Motor Vehicle
Safety Responsibility Law, which
goes into full force and effect on
January l.
l hope, therefore, that you will
let me pull a chair up to your
fireside for a few minutes this
evening and very quickly tell
You some facts that most likely
viii surprise you. I want to ex-
plain to all of you, for instance,
that on and after January l you
will have greater protection than
ever before against the economic
consequences of motor vehicle
accidents. And I particularly
want to let the owners and opera
tors of motor vehicles know that,
at the same time, their response
bilites will increase proportion
ately. So you see that my story
is not only of life and limb, but
also of dollars and cents.
Perhaps I should begin by
earnestly advising all motor We
hicle owners and operators to go
Immediately to any gasoline sta
ton and ask the attendent there
for one of the official leaflets the
Department of Motor Vehicles
has prepared for your protection
and convenience. It costs nothing,
but it may be worth your drivers
Motor Vehicle Safety Respons-
license. 1t will give you, in less
than five minutes reading time,
all of the more important facts
you should know about our new
Motor Vehicle Safety eRspons-
Utility Law. You should read it
carefully, and then keep it in
your wallet for future reference.
Now let me tell you one or two
things that this law is not. 1t is
not in effect at this minute; but
it will be in effect-and will be
rigidly enforced-beginning at
1901 a. m. January l. 1t is not
compulsory insurance law, and
don't let anybody tell you other
wise. It will not take away your
automobile, but it most certainly
will put you off the road as a
driver if you have an accident
and are unable to pay for the
damages you cause, either
through insurance or cash up to
$11, 900. Finally, it does not have
any loopholes; it operates auto
matically against any motorist
who disregards the laws of pub
lie safety and security.
I am sure that, by this time,
you are hardly wondering why
the Legislature decided North
Carolina needs such a statute,
but let me quickly give you one
or two surprising statistics. Five
years ago, in 1948, North Caro-
lima had 1928 reported traffic
accidents, in which 734 men
women and children were killed
and 7,490 were injured. In 1852,

of North Carolina has offered to
publish frequent news articles,
containing important informa-
ton.
Surely, then, no motor vehicle
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1953-12-04

owner or operator will have the
slightest ground to complain,
after January l, that he did not
understand the law and plead
leniency. 1t cannot be granted.
So, 1 urge you again to get one
of the leaflets we prepared for
you. urge you also to read your

radio stations. This law was not
written to punish people, but I'd
protect them. We, at the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles, will do
our best to help you have it OPP
crate that way.
