CREATE A PR GRAM
TO REDUCE DEATHS

Patrolman H. w. Pridgen, Of the
North Carolina Highway Patrol,
has announced that a thorough sur
vey and study of the fatal acci-
dents in Troop A, of which the
Dare County area patrol is a part
has revealed that tllirty-five per
cent of the fatalities for the year
1861 were pedestrian and bicycle
rider fatalities in the rural areas.
He stated that, although patrol
officials were aware that number
of fatal ACCIDENTS were in the pedes-
trian and bicycle category, the large
proportion Of fatalities in this cate
CORY came as something of sur
prise. 4,
In a rundown of fatalities
throughout the Troop A area, the
following figures were submitted
by the patrol:

Year 1861

AS a result of this information,
the patrol has worked out a spec
ial emphasis enforcement program,
project Pedestrian Safety" for
the year 1862, which will begin in
Troop A on the first of February

every effort will be made to in
form the public of traffic laws

East suffered for his poor
taste.
West continued with a low
heart, since this is what the
play of the queen commanded
him to do. South ruffed, drew
two rounds of trumps and
started the clubs.
West could ruff the third
club, but then declarer could
get to dummy with a trump
or the ace of diamonds to dis
card two diamonds on the last
two clubs. South lost only one
heart and one trump, making
his contract with an overtrick
Should Think
East should think at the
first trick before signaling
Surely his partner started with
a five-card heart suit for his
overcall of two hearts. This
means that South holds only
one heart at most.
If East signals for a heart
continuation, he is handing the
initiative over to South. And
as we have seen, that allows
declarer to make the contract
East must hope for a switch

first trick, West shifts to q low
diamond, and South loses two
diamonds before he can get a
discard on dummy's clubs.
Remember this hand the next
time you're tempted to make
a violent defensive signal
There is no need to tell your
partner exactly what you have;
just tell him whether to con-
tinue with the suit he has
started.

Answer: Bid four hearts
This shows strong distribu-
tional support but very little

able against uncomfortable OPP

would be enough.

ASHEVILLE. - Asheville is
quite properly known as Capt.
tai City of the "Land of the
Sky. The city is surrounded by
famous mountain peaks that
majestically stretch upward into
the blue Western North Carolina
sky sometimes touching the
iazily drifting white clouds.
Undoubtedly, the most well
known mountain of the region
is the reigning monarch, Nit
chell. In the great Black range,
Mitchell is, at 6,684 feet, the
highest peak in Eastern Amer
lea. Mount Mitchell was dis
covered by DIR. Elisha Mitchell,
bursar of the University of
North Carolina and scientist, in
1885 when he first measured the
peak and declared it higher than
Mount Washington - thus the
loftiest east of the Rocky Noun
tains.
The Blacks are a towering
mass of earth and rocks, and
Mitchell is distinguishable as
the highest of the range. A good
road connects the Blue Ridge
Parkway with a large parking
lot near the summit and a
short walk takes one to the top.
The mountain, now a State
park, wears as crown, hugh

grey stone observation tower.
DR.. Elisha Mitchell who lost his
life in a fall while exploring a
waterfall on the mountain is
buried at the base of the tower.
Grandfather Mountain, on the
Blue Ridge Parkway Northeast
of Asheville is the highest IF the
Blue Ridge range, reputed by
scientists to be the Oldest noun
tain in the world and is eminent
as one of the grand old patri-
arches of Western North Caro-
lima. The peak is owned by
Hugh Morton, a we'll known
civic leader and prominent in
North Carolina affairs.
He has developed Grandfather
into one of the top visitor at
fractions in the Southeast.
Grandfather is dramatic in pro-
file, standing out in contrasting
green foliage and rocky crags.
In the spring the slopes are
abloom with native azalea and
fhododendron. There is a small
charge to drive to the summit.
A mile high Tin elevation)
swinging bridge affords a
breathtaking stroll to the edge
of the precipice. Camping sites
and picnic areas are available
on the mountain.

for it's 'sPink Beds, acres of
