REMEMBER SAFETY RULES
DURING YOUR VACATION

49,. The skies are blue and the
trees are green,
"And long for long vacation"
So wrote poet Edwin Meade
Robinson. And the longing for a
vacation-though it's usually only
two weeks "long"-is one many
persons will satisfy during sum-
mer months.
How safely they'll vacation de-
ponds on whether they take along
little common sense with the
suntan lotion and the insect repel-
liant, according to the National
Safety Council.
If vacationers play safely,
they'll probably send scads of
"wish-you-were-here" cards home.
If they don't they'll probably do
their writing propped up in a hos
pital bed.
Travelling, fishing, swimming,
boating, cooking outdoor or work
ing around a house-all can be
hazardous, the Council said.
Vacationers can make merry
their two weeks off-or they can
make mishaps. "Have good
time" the Council said, but plan
safety into your vacation by fol-
lowing these rules:
1. Check you cars brakes, lights
T, and other mechanical features, and
start your vacation on the right
foot-which is light foot on the
gas pedal.
2. Slow down in bad weather, on
bad roads, in heavy traffic or if
visibility is poor.
8. Don't swim alone, too far, OF
after dark. Know the waters
depth.
a. Rest after eating. Take sur
bathing a little at time-bettel
pale than parboiled.

BY CAROLYN LLOYD

The new bridge over the Croa-
tan Sound is a thing of beauty
and triumph of engineering, a
time saver, and a credit to the
state. 1t seems ridiculous, then, to
feel a pang of regret over the
disappearance of the ferry. 1t is
especially so when / recall the
number of times that l have
driven up to the slip only to find
the ferry about four feet out into
the sound. The total number of
hours that / have waited at
Manns Harbor would add up to
quite a few, and they were usually
hours spent under a blistering sun
or downpour of rain. Then there
are recollections of the number of
times when 1 have driven faster
than ! ike to in a mad dash to
get to the ferry slip on time.
Once on the ferry, though, the
trip across the sound was an en-
joyable time of relaxation, with
nothing to do for forty-five min
utes except TO lean on the rail
and enjoy the breeze and watch
the sparkle of sun on the water.
One could feel as carefree as the
gulls that swooped gracefully
along in the wake of the ferry.
Then there were few times, l
must admit, when the water was
rough and the spray dashed over
the tops of the cars, when / Won
dered what would happen if we
should sink in the middle of the
sound; but the trip across was
usually a balm to the soul.
The sound is just as beautiful
as ever, but the driver simply
can't commune with nature and
tend to his driving, too-especial-
ly with a patrolman right behind
him to see that he doesn't creep
over the thirty mile speed limit.
Perhaps my love of ferries
stems from my childhood, when
one of my greatest thrills was
crossing the Mississippi River or
the big ferry at Greenville, now
also replaced by a bridge. II
might be that I am lazy and like
to sit back and let someone else
do the work.
They say that reluctance tc
Srelinquish the old, familiar things
is sign of old age; but it is pos.
sible to appreciate progress anc

poets of the past. That bridge will
probably seem Anticipated some
day to a flying generation, but
they will remember how pleasant
it once was to drive across thu
sound and see the water close a
hand instead of from the clouds.
