WORTHY OF
RECOGNITION

This Is the time of year communi-
ties take a few moments to pay
tribute to the persons who have con-
trlbuted the most in civic progress
during the past year.
In Tabor City, the Jaycees have
already selected w. Horace Carter as
the community man of the year.
They will pay tribute to the Young
Man Of The Year" at their banquet
early in February.
These winners deserve your praise.
Their qualifications as winners mean
that they worked the hardest for Won
during the past year.

have q ticket fixed doesn't amount
to anything!"
But you're dead wrong.
1t amounts to showing contempt for
the law. 1t amounts TO undermining
the work of those who are tying to
reduce our shocking traffic accident
toll. 1t amounts to hampering the
efforts OF our highway enforcement
officers.
Last year there were $4,000 traffic
accidents in North Carolina. BY shsw-
ing your contempt for the laws En-
acted to remedy this disgraceful
situation you put yourself on record
as being FOR traffic accidents rather
than against then
If everybody took the same stti-
tude, traffic laws would become COM
pletely ineffective and there would
be chaos on our streets and highways.
Think of this if you are ever again
tempted to consider yourself above
the law. Remember, the law that in
conveniences you today may save
your life tomorrow.

NEWSPAPERS INFORMED
PUBLIC ON NEW LAW

Motor Vehicles Commissioner Ed
ward Scheidt gives North Carolina
newspapers much credit for the APP
parent fact that almost all automobile
owners understand they must have
liability insurance before they can buy
their 1858 license plates. The States
new compulsory insurance law" has
been we'll publicized. he sayA just
over one per cent of those who have
ordered their tags by mail have failed
to enclose their "FS-1" certificate Of
insurance.
That's good. We are pleased the
public has been we'll informed. Bot
knowledge alone is not enough. The
record indicates that many who know
they must have insurance. or park
their cars after February Is, still don't
have it. Sales of license plates are
running behind the sales of year
ago. One reason for that, the Com
missioner believes, is that many a car
owner has put eff his purchase of
insurance until the last minute. An
other reason is that many car owners
don't have in hand the money their
insurance will cost.
All we have to say to the man with
out the money is that We understand
his problem and hope he can solve
it in time - meaning before February

the money, but still does not have his
insurance, We have a definite sugges-
ton. Unless he wants to park his car,
he had better get busy right away.
AT best the lines are going to be
long and slow as the deadline draws
near. There will be more people max e.
ing last minute purchases, because OF
the money problems, and eacn sale
will take longer, because each in.

people the price of insurance they
never carried before Some of them
won't like it. But like it or not, the
law Is on the books and those who
are able should comply with it with
out further delay. Otherwise they will
be forced to stay at home, ride the
bus, or walk.

The Salk vaccine has insured the

been answered and the picture
was one of brightness and
promise. Students were eager
~ looking forward to the new
school year with ideas for clubs,
programs and activities to help
make NOrthwood one Of the
finest schools in this area.
A Student Congress was eS-
tablished as the influential
voice of the students. Plan

realize what a tremendous
amount of work is required to
establish a strong and efficient

The building was sparkling

lot of fortitude for the students

realized that the school build

The students felt like pio-
