society, are alarming.
In North Carolina last year, for ex-
ample, $50 teen ayers were killed in
traffic accidents. Another 4, FOG young
people were injured. Nationwide, the
chief cause of death among children
and teen ayers in accidental death,
replacing pneumonia, once the No. l
killer among all age groups.
The question is: What can we do
about 1t? And certainly we must do
something about it-that is our moral
responsibility as human beings. The
medical men are doing their share
to save life - but what are we, the
"bystanders," doing? What can we
do?
We've had bigger problems before
and we've licked them. We can do
the same with this one. But the first
thing is to want to do something, then
the rest will come naturally. Once
we have decided to fight this unseen
enemy which is killing our Younger
population, we have fashioned our
first weapon. Then we begin our
strategy by marshaling all our resour-
ces - in the home, in the community,
in the state, and in the Nation. We
must have our engineers design new
kinds of highway safeguards, we must
have our inventors devise new cars
and safety devices, we must have our
government officials enforce new
traffic controls - but, above all, we
must indoctrinate each and every
man, woman, and child with the basics
of safety in today's world on wheels.

Jokers on one occasion :. That was the
time Don received a bag of marbles
through the mail.
Even the chiding by his buddies fail
ed to dismay him. He knew what he
wanted and was determined to get it.
So determined that he spent the two
regular school years plus two summer
sessions.
Mr.. Primer was extremely helpful
and one of the ma jor factors in my de-
cision to return to school. His assistance
in helping me plan a schedule was in
valuable" said Don.
The son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Watts
of Tabor City, Don is the only one of
IL children to complete his high school
education He has a younger brother
and sister in school and hopes they will
realize the importance of an education.
"I'll do everything possible to make
them realize they should get their d.
ploma if they should ever entertain the
idea of quitting"
Although unmarried, Don declares
that he would have gone back to school

on that subject.

beginning all over the country, Mr..
Plnner is urging many former students
to return to school and complete THEM

Don insists that it's the natural thing
10 DO since it's the stepping stone to
better jobs or higher education. ,
You just can't start at the bottom
and work up without benefit of an edu-

from man who has experienced every
need for it makes it worth needing.

becomes deplorable.
