Point System
Bill Advances

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 21.-Legis-
lation to establish a point Sys-
tenn for punishment of repeater
traffic violators has moved
closer to passage.
The House Judiciary Com
mittee yesterday gave the bill
a favorable report and then
sent it to the House floor.
Last night, Motor Vehicle
Department Chief James v.
Monroe said he was opposed to
the point system unless the
Legislature was willing to ap-
propriate 5000, 900 next year to
administer it.
He said that his Office nov

lists would be "a terrific job"
Mr.. Monroe said he expects
to be called by the Senate Jul
dietary Proceedings Committee
to testify before it if the point
system bill is passed by the
House.
Mr.. Monroe said his depart
ment in effect has a modified
point system in operation to-
day under which traffic violators
are called in by the department
to explain why their licenses
should not be suspended or re-
voked.

Mr.. Faulkner said Virginia's

says is going to happen at

The National Weather Sum-
marieS go out to the field sta
tons as a guideline. Each sta
ton makes up its own local
forecast Usually the stations
have a teletype circuit which
reaches newspapers and radio
stations. Each station puts
the National Weather Sum-
mary on the wire along with
its own local observations and
forecasts.
This presents a problem to
the men who write the sum-
mary. The radio broadcasterS
want colorful language and an
easy flow. The newspapers want
short sentences. The profess
sional meteorologists want
precise technical language.
Favorable Comment
We've had a lot of favorable
comment from field Offices
around the country" says the
unit chief. Mr.. Ferry. I'VE try
to use a good, readable style
since broadcasters often read
it right OF the wire-but we
try not to be too sexy either.
Sometimes we get too
wrapped in forecasts-that's
the fascinating part of the bus
inesS-but we have to remem-
Der to describe what's happen
ing now. too.
And it's frustrating to work
all day and then 60 home at
night and read in the paper
that Haleyville. Ala, had IA
inches of snow, when all we
was 2 inches at Birm-
ingham. That was last Satur-
day. We have only so many
stations reporting, but the news
people are right on top of
everything"
Sometimes the little team of
three men gets closer to the
weather than its teletype
machines. Last Sunday, for ex-
ample, Mr.. Trainer was the
man on duty at the unit. and
he had to walk two miles
through the snow to get there.
Weather had immobilized his
car.

hour and see them. It's fine
ride when the tide is out, and l
am not going to wait another IL
years, nor IL weeks either before
see Corolla again.
Corolla people also got lot out
of the horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep which had free range on
these beaches, and as on the entire
coast, proved through the years
the most destructive and DAM
aging force imaginable. They de-
voured the branches of the trees,
dug up shrubs and grass, tearing
out the last roots, and denuding
the land which became a prey to
merciless winds. Loose sands, left
exposed to tides, departed the
higher ground and the hills. Salt
air and waters killed the forests,
and our outer banks went through
long decline headed for death
that most people refused to recog-
nize.
There is one fine thing left at
Corolla. The mere handful of peo-
pie are still friendly and helpful.
There is no lack of the old spirit
of hospitality that made of the
coastland a region a race apart.
Natives of Corolla are not left.
The friendly postmaster Johnny
Austin actually came from Hat
teras. His wife was Virginia Til
lett of Mays Head.
l believe Corolla is coming
back, but it will be a new village.
1t will be peopled by another race.
The electrical lighting of its warm
ing lighthouse is where once
whale-oil lamps were borne aloft.
Wild ponies used to pull crude
carts where jeeps roll today.
Standing majestically over the
community 80 or 80 years ago
was the Lighthouse Club where
half dozen wealthy northern men,
according to record in the old log
they left behind, used to leisurely
kill thousand wildfowl in the
run of week; where not a thou
sand are now killed in a season
by all the hunters that come to
Corolla.
At later date, I am going to
write something about the castle
that commands Corolla and how it
will play a mighty part in its
future. 1t was built 40 years ago
on the site of the old Lighthouse
Club by an aged Philadelphia fl
nancier to satisfy the vulgar
vanity of temperamental French
wife. Behind the Knights, now
dead, remains this castle, the
largest on the North Carolina
coast; and its five miles of ocean
front, with what some people call
Cardinals finest bathing beach.
What men do in vanity lives
long after them. Achievements
founded on greed sometimes trickle
out into charitable purposes. The
castle of Edward C. Knight Jr.
and Louise LeBel the actress,
stands brooding on the shore at
Corolla, but l predict that it will
be tied in with newer and ex-
banded destiny of this community,
and as the preachers might agree,
in Gods own time-and perhaps
soon-good will come out of
Nazareth.
