FIREMEN'S PENSION FUND
DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL


Farmville. Superior Court
Judge Heman R. Clark recently
gave his decision on the constitu-
tionality of the Firemen's Pen
sion Fund. In part, his decision
reads as follows: "That Chapter
1920 of the Public Laws of 1867
being the Firemen's Pension Fund
is a constitutional and valid en-
actinent of the General Assembly
of North Carolina and in no way
is in contravention of any of the
provisions of said IN. Co. consti-
tuition of the United States !"
Judge Clark denied relief to the
insurance companies and the N. C.
Rating Bureau who brought the
suits, and ordered the plaintiffs
to pay the costs. The insurance
companies indicated the decision
will be appealed to the state Su-
preme Court.
The first full scale hearing
after more than year of skir1n-
ishing, was held last August %,
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1958-09-26

in the Wake Superior Court, with
Judge Clark presiding.
After considering the facts as
presented, the Judges decision
said, " the Court being Of the
opinion that presumption
favors the constitutionality of an
act of the General Assembly of
North Carolina and the strongest
degree of proof known to law is
required to overthrow the cOnsti-
tutionality of such an act :"
The decision then listed the main
issues, stating the reasons they
were held to be constitutional.
The North Carolina State Fire
mems Association, one of the de-
PENDANTS in these actions, has been
the principal advocate of the Fire
mems Pension Fund. About one
fifth of the Associations member
ship of 1000 firemen have joined
the pension fund in the first year
of its existence. If the Supreme
Court should rule against the
present laws, the Association plans
to take its case before the 1859
General Assembly for new or cor
receive legislation.

INFECTIOUS YOUTH
MUST PAY HEAVILY
TO GET INSURANCE
Some of the Restrictions in Vari-
Gus States Regulating
Young Drivers

The current trend toward plac-
ing restrictions on teen-age
drivers licenses will soon be COM
mon practice among all States,
predicts Thomas B. Watkins, Pres
ident of the N. c. State Motor
Club, who says more and more
States are adopting some type of
restriction, because of the high
accident and death rate of younger
drivers.
New York State issues junior
license which allows driving dur
ing daylight hours only Except
when accompanied by duly Ii
censed operator) and which pro-
hibits driving in New York City.
Tennessee restricts its younger
drivers to the immediate neigh
borhood in which they reside,
while Oklahoma lets it's new
drivers go between home and
school only.
Maryland is probably the rough
est on it's teen-agers trying to get
license. There the applicant must
furnish a Certificate of Insurance
showing that he personally has
coverage in the amounts of
$1O/2O,OOO for personal injury and
$4,000 property damage. He must
then keep this coverage in force
until he reaches 81.
Idaho restricts its youngsters
to daylight driving only. Arkansas
makes the parents of those under
18 sign the application, making
them financially responsible for
the minors obligations. California
and Florida are equally stiff.
There has also been talk in re-
cent months of issuing a proba-
tionary license to new drivers
which they would retain until
they reach the age of 81. One cat
fault" accident or one moving vio-
lation during this time would re-
suit in the suspension of the Ii
cense until the driver reaches the
age of legal maturity.
"Of all the various restrictions
on teen-age licenses in the coun-
try" the Motor Club declared,
1--WE would favor the latter. If our
teen-age drivers knew they were
on probation for several years and
one wrong step would take them
off the road until they were old
enough to appreciate a license, we
would see big change in their
driving habits"

boats at Marshallburg and Hank
ers Island, just off U. S. 20.
Currituck Beach, or Whales
head, Lighthouse is on the north
ern end of the Outer Banks island
Bodice extending from the Vir-
ginia line to Oregon Inlet. That
section of the island is accessible
only by beach buggy, boat, ir light
aircraft. The red brick Lighthouse,
158 feet tall and completed in
1875, is visible from the famed
duck hunting and fishing grounds
of Currituck Sound.
Electricity replaced oil lamps
many years ago in all of North
Cardinals still-active lighthouses,
and the lights are tended by
crews from nearby Coast Guard
stations rather than by resident
keepers.
At Hatteras and Bodie Island,
buildings which formerly housed
lighthouse personnel have been re-
furnished as National Park Service
museums. There is Museum of
Natural History at Bodie Island
Lighthouse and Museum of the
Sea at Cape Hatteras. Both mu-
seums are open free year around.
On Smith Island off the South
eastern North Carolina coast are
two abandoned lighthouses visible
from the town of Southport and
from the beach near the new Oak
Island Lighthouse. Oak Island
Lighthouse was built to replace
Cape Fear Lighthouse, steel
skeleton tower built on Smith Is
land in 1908 to mark the entrance
to the Cape Fear River, shiplane
to the port of Wilmington. Also
on Smith Island is Old Baldhead
Light, built in 1906 and discontin-
ued in 1885. ''Old Badly" is still a
fine figure of additionally STYLED
lighthouse, but is visited by few
people since Smith Island is unin-
habited and accessible only by
boat. Octagonal in shape, the
lighthouse of white-painted brick
is a famous landmark of the area.
Near the base of Hatteras
Lighthouse are the crumbling
foundations (of stone brought by
ship from New England) of the
earlier light authorized by Con-
gress in 1874 and damaged by
shells from the Federal fleet in.

LIVING IN the same place and
writing for the same newspapers
all the time is like being married
to the same woman for many
years. It's not too exciting, but it
is rather comfortable. The home
folks don't get around to Dragging
on your efforts too much for they
sort of take you for granted after
a few years.
THE OTHER week end the Bet

beloved neighbors and after the
services l was much surprised and
delighted to have many people
come to me and tell me that they
followed my efforts with much in

ONE LADY said she lived in
Charlottesville, Va, and she only
saw this column in the Coastland
newspapers to which she subscrib-
ed. She said she especially enjoyed
our recent piece about the life OF
a farm boy. Said she was raised
on the farm and was proud of it,
though she hadn't lived near one
since she was a child.
ANOTHER dear old lady came
up and put her arms around me
THAT piece was just as beau
tiful as it could be-" she said.
LATER in our conversation,
discovered she was referring to the
same farm column.
