Don’t Let A Scene Like This Mar Your Holiday
;..P ; ,

Be Aware Of Curves
Car Not That Small
Tree Got In His Way
He saw a car; he tried to swerve; he missed the
car; and also the curve.
A person driving faces the chance of going to
sleep, drinking too much or another driver on his
side. The results could very well be the plowing
of a field, the deepening of a ditch or worse.
This Ford left the road and went into a ditch.
After all the mud had cleared, only the top was
visible.
It takes only a fleeting second for something
or someone to cause the distraction of a driver. In
this second an approaching car or one stopped in
the road ahead can mean disaster.
Full and direct attention is required of all
drivers. If one fails, several may pay.
My car is smaller than your car, my car is
smaller than yours.
But as can be seen, the small Plymouth was
not small enough to go under the dump truck
traveling in front.
Winter traveling is especially dangerous for
accidents, including wet and iced roads.
The slippery road resulting from water in either
the solid or liquid form takes a large percentage
of the driver’s control away from him.
Following too close also endangers both drivers
as reflexes are seconds behind those intentionally
controlled by the lead driver.
Slow speeds on wet or iced roads and a safe
distance may make the difference.
I thought I would never see anything as pretty
as a tree coming straight at me.
The driver of this Chevrolet might have thought
this as he missed a bridge and hit a tree.
Several persons have told stories of driving while
asleep, waking up several miles down the road, or,
at their destination. Some never live to tell the
story.
One way to keep awake while driving if drowsi
ness occurs is to open the air vent, directing the
cool air to yourself.
Sometimes the driver is warned in a subtle
manner of the coming sleep by the sound and feel
of the car running off the pavement, but again,
sometimes the warning is too late.
Sticks and stones may break windows but brill?
can total a car.
This Pontiac convertible appears to be doit?
U turn, with the front part turning back and
rear section going straight.
The driver of this car came close to death
he swerved to miss a hitch-hiker and hit a brii?
He was luckily thrown from the car before 4
impact was completed.
Drivers are warned to watch for pedestrians i
night. Those dressed in black are hard to a
Vacationeers who will be hitch-hiking or walfc
near roads are urged to dress in light colors t
make themselves more visible to travelers.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest
factor on earth for the build
ing of character and goo
citizenship. It is a storehouse
of spiritual values. Without
zation
strong church, neither
imocracy nor civiliza
n survive. There are
und reasons why e^
person should attend services
the
democra

hey a
own sake. (2) For his chil-
racy
can survive. There are four
why ev
end serv
regularly and support
church. They are: (1) For his
dren’s sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation.
(4) For the sake of the church
itself, which needs his moral
and material support. Plan
to go to church regularly
and read your Bible daily.

One of the major factors con
tributing to motor vehicle fatalities
and accidents during the Christ
mas-New Year’s holiday season is
drinking and driving, according to
the Texas Safety Association.
“This fact is borne out by studies
of many accidents. One survey
shows drinking drivers are involved
in more than half the fatal Christ
mastime accidents. During the
balance of the year, they are in
volved in about one out of three,”
J. O. Musick, TSA General Man
ager, said.
“Many persons have the idea that
a few drinks will not affect their
driving ability. This is not true.
The scientific fact is that the crit
ical judgement of a driver and his
ability to react quickly in emer
gencies are seriously imparied after
only a few drinks.”
He pointed out that while a very
intoxicated person may be able to
perform the mechanical functions
of driving, such as starting a car,
getting it going and steering it, he
does not have the judgment and the
reflexes to do these things safely.
Drinking Drivers,
Nothing Worse
They Put
The Quart
Before
The Hearse
“When alcohol enters the stom
ach in the form of a beverage, it
is absorbed through the walls of
the stomach and the small intestine
into the blood stream. The blood
carries the alcohol to all parts of
the body which contain water, in
cluding the brain,” he explained.
Contrary to popular belief, coffee
or other stimulants will not over
come the effects of alcohol. Only
time and body processes will ac-
cimplish this. The most important
factors contributing to alcoholic
influence are the amount of alcohol
absorbed into the blood and fe
amount of time allowed for ta
elimination of this alcohol.
The liver is the organ of tls
body which breaks down the alcok
into usable food. Alcohol is ak
eliminated through the lungs ni
kidneys. This combined pro®
takes about three hours for end
ounce of pure alcohol. In tem
of the usual intoxicating beverap
it takes about one hour to elimirai
each bottle of beer or each ounce c
whiskey.
The more alcohol there is in til
blood, the longer you must wait
until you can drive safely,
normal driver’s chances of havinj
an accident are increased with ead
additional drink taken within i
given time period.
A good driver must be able la
judge speeds and distances, fob
traffic patterns, make adjustment:
as traffic flow changes and quidit
react to hazards and emergencies
In closing, Musick answered tit
time-worn question — How man)
for the road ? “To be safe and stm
—NONE!”
