RAGING ON HIGHWAYS
CONSIDERED A GREAT
MENACE IN DARE COUNTY

The reckless and irresponsible
practice of racing on the narrow
highways of Dare County INDUCED
in by many younger drivers is
considered one of the greatest of
menaces to the safety of the
travelling public, as we'll as dis
enlargement to visitors to the
county. 1t iseoften difficult to get
testimony, to aid in convictions,
as cars are often occupied by only
one person, the driver, and when
accompanied by buddy, the facts
then don't usually come out. One
passenger in "a racing car, said it
was going only 80 miles an hour,
and it hadn't occurred to him that
this was racing yet.
Serious results occurred We'd
nesday night on the road between
Buxton and Frisco in an incident
thought to be the result of race,
when two cars driven by young
Navy men stationed at Cape Hat
teras were wrecked. George Guy
Dana of Baltimore, Md. was driv-
ing a 1949 Pontiac coupe. Eliphus
Paris, address not disclosed, was
driving 1850 Odds, and while
Dana was not seriously hurt, Par
ris was sent to Norfolk hospital
in an unconscious condition, from
which he did not recover for sew
eral days. An investigation is con-
tinuing under the direction of
Patrolman Arthur Fields of Man
