Says Town Should Enforce Laws
BY Peter Huith
In SmithIield Herald

A NJ Noble was on firm ground
Tuesday night when he pointed up the
lack u enforcement Of motor vehicle
laws IN Smlthfield. He was voicing the
sentiments Of many fellow citizens.
In an appearance before the Town
Board Of Commissioners and Police
Chief BIZ Norton at the Town Hall, Mr.
Noble stressed the need for maximum
enforcement Of the speed laws.
As in the past, Police Chief Norton
countered with the argument that local
public sentiment prohibits the full en-
forcement Of the laws. lie noted that
business men protest the use Of the
speed clock as hurting local business"
Appearing before the commissioners
also was c. T. Bingham, who joined
Mr.. Noble in yoicing the complaint that
dangerous" condition exists because
Of speeding motorists in the business
and residential sections Of the com
munity
These citizens also stressed the need
for enforcing the ban on exhaust sys-
tens that make unnecessary or unusu-
al noises
Mr.. Noble suggested Jail terms and
sitter fines if they are necessary in
bringing halt 10 violations.
Surely it is d small minority Of the
citizens-locaI and transient--that ha-
Ditually drive above the posted speed
limits or have loud exhaust systems
The majority Of the taxpayers should
not have to suffer because Of the abuses
VI few. How often is a quiet Sunday
afternoon or nights rest interrupted
by a car with loud muffler or one
which is disconnected And aren't many
more citizens than the speeders endang-
cred by speeding cars?
The Town Board Of Commissioners
should require that all motor vehicle
laws be enforced.
The Chief of Police and his Depart
ment should do their utmost to arrest
the violators and cite them TO court.
And the judge should hand out sent
ences that would tend to prevent sub
sequent violations.

Now and Then
BY Bill Prouty

during the height Of the storm you had
the feeling that the roof (if you were
IN wood frame house, would come
oft and leave you facing the big blow
and the sheets Of rain which accompani-
I'd il. And when the gusts came, you
could feel the movement Of the house,
and it scared you.
Out at our place in Westwood (n6w
the Grady Pritchard home) We lost
SIX or seven big oaks and three or
four pines, one Of them a magnificent
tree But we were fortunate al that,
with only one tree touching the house,
an OAK which leaned lightly against
the roof much as you might prop up
against stationary object for NOM
ent's rest.
Electric power and the telphone
facilities were, Of couse, disrupted. for
many days in some sections Of town.
! remember that those folks who had
gas for cooking and heating water were
particularly happy about it. And fortu-
nately the weather was mild for that
time Of year here.
As soon as people got somewhat
over the shock Of the storm, they got
around their fallen trees as best they
could and went TO town and bought
equipment TO clean away the debris
All over town<could be heard the whine
Of gasoline bandsaws and the slower
rhythm Of the handsaws, biting into
the fallen trees. The hardware stores
soon sold out Of saws Of all types and
also had a big run on sledge hammers,
wedges, rope and lanterns. Many peo-
pie were blocked in with their auto
mobiles by trees which fell across their
driveways
Some were even less fortunate in
that trees fell on their autos and smash
ed them beyond repair Two such cars
were cut almost in two by giant oaks,
one in front Of the r. B. House home
on East Franklin Street and another
on Cameron Ave. in front of the Clyde
Eubanks home Those cars were not
worth hauling off, and had they been
occupied the passengers would have
been instantly killed.
Miraculously, there were no fatali-
ties here, though an elderly gentleman,
Joseph S. Malpas (taken from the
Weekly Of October %, 1854, had an
arm broken and was bruised when
thrown to the ground on Franklin
Street. Several persons in moving auto
mobiles narrowly escaped being hit by
falling trees, as did people in houses
whose roofs we're punctured by limbs
Of falling trees.
1t was several weeks before the
town got back to normal, and then it
looked only partly dressed, for hav-
ing lost so many of its trees.
And so it's a good bet that Chapel
Hillians will be keeping weather eye
out to sea off the Florida coast over
the weekend to see if Helene is coming
to call here, looking for her long lost
sister Hazel.
