New ‘Get Tough
Policy Adopted
By State Patrol
Atlanta, (GPS) — Warning to mo
torists: The State Highway Patrol has
declared all-out war on reckless, fool
hardy drivers.
Under a revitalized “get tough” pol
icy—perhaps the toughest in the pa
trol's 24-year history--Col. H. Lowell
Conner, newly-installed director of the
Georgia Department of Public Safety,
has issued orders to his far-flung or
ganization to use any method neces
sary to catch traffic law violators—
“but get ‘'em.”
The 38-year-old public safety direc
tor, successor to Col. William P. Trot
ter who resigned to return to prlvatel
law practice in LaGrange, has instruct
ed state troopers to “hide behind sign
boards, embankments, trees or any
thing else if that's what it takes to
stop tHe slaughter on our highways.”
Col. Conner said troopers out of the
34 patrol posts scattered over the state
will increase the use of radar, timing
machines, different-colored patrol cars
and different models and makes in
an effort to maintain safety on Geor
gia's roads.
One new method—actually it's a re
vival of a method used by the patrol
until mid-1951—will be the punching
of drivers' licenses of motorists who
have been stopped for a traffic viola
tion.
“We issue thousands of warnings
each year for speeding, running stop
signs, faulty equipment and other
things, and it doesn't seem to be do
ing much good,” the director said.
“One reason is that a trooper who
stops a violator has no way of know
ing if he has been proveiously warned.”
But now, under the license “punch
system”, troopers who subsequently
stop a motorist will know immediately
if he already has been given a warn
ing for a particular violation. If his
license shows as many as two punches
for the same offense, it's curtains for
the driver—he’ll be hauled in and a
case made against him. All this goes
into his record on file at patrol head
quarters.
“If we can stop people from violat
ing traffic laws, we can reduce the
number of accidents and resultant
deaths and property loss,” Col. Con
ner emphasized. To drive home his
point he cited these 1960 state figures:
“All in all, 63,918 drivers caused ac
cidents by violating some traffic law
or safety rule and thereby caused 101,-
921 drivers to be involved in accidents,
38,003 of whom were innocent of a
violation.
“The year's toll in traffic accidents:
Killed, 1,038; injured, 19,355; economic
loss, $1245 million. During every 24
hours one person was killed every 8%
hours; one person was injured every 27
minutes; one accident occurred every
nine minutes, and as a result of these
deaths, injuries and property damage
Georgians suffered a monetary loss of
$336,000 every 24 hours.”
In issuing his new directive aimed
at ridding Georgia of “the maniacs of
the highways,” Col. Conner called for
public support and continuation of
“the fine cocperation of county and
local enforcement officers, he said.
“With the aid and cooperation of the
public and dedicated officials at all
levels, we can do the job our depart
ment was set up to do: protect people
and property.”
HEALTH FOR ALL
To Know The Unknown
Forty-one years ago, four members
of the executive committee of the
National Tuberculosis Association put
their hands in their respective pockets
and brought out SIOO each. The NTA
added SIOO to the pot and the sum of
SSOO was turned over to Dr. William
Snow Miller. Dr. Miller was studying
the anatomy of the lung. He was then
able to complete his lifelong study of
lung anatomy and to write the book
which is still the standard reference
text.
That was the first grant to aid re
search made under NTA sponsorship.
The next year, 1921, the NTA's re
search program had a budget of $20.-
000 and made four grants. In the fifty
years since, the organization has ap
propriated about $3,700,000 for research
grants,
Scientific research is man's puny but
valiant attempt to find out what makes
the world of nature tick. It goes up
blind alleys and gropes its way be
cause nature is so complex as to seem
perverse. Each apparent advance leads
into a new maze,
For instance, TB doctors know that
TB germs can be knocked out very
handily by some drugs—in a test tube.
Put those same germs in the body of
an animal, though, dose the animal
with those same drugs and what hap
pens?
Nothing. The germs go merrily on
their way, doing their damage.
Two doctors in New York are try
ing to solve the puzzle of those sub
born germs with the help of an NTA
grant. But theirs is only one problem
among thousands that must be solved
if TB is ever to be finally licked.
For instance: Diseases attacking hu
man beings produce what are called
“antibodies.” In most diseases these
antibodies prevent a second attack if
the person becomes infected again. In
TB they don't. Perverse? Sure it is.
Germs and disease always seem per
verse. That's why research is so nec
essary. (Information Service of Your

NOSEBLEEDS ARE
COMMON BUT USUALLY
' NOT SERIOUS
(Editor's Note: This is one in a series
of articles about your health which
appears regularly in The News as a
public service feature.)
By The Medical Association of Georgia
Nosebleeds are common medical
problems. Yet, while they are fright
ening and disturbing to the person
suffering the nosebleed and those
around him, most nosebleeds are not
serious. Exceptions are prolonged or
unusually profuse nosebleeds.
In most cases the bleeding starts
from the veins and arteries in the
front of the nose, usually in the sec
tion dividing the nostrils. The bleed
ing often accompanies an acute in
fection or an injury in the nose,
violent exertion or a chemical injury
to the tissues in the nose. Foreim
bodies, ulcers and cancerous growths
in the nose may be the cause. Some
people have nosebleeds when they
are in high altitudes.
Certain diseases—among them hem
ophilia (a disease in which a person
bleeds very freely), leukemia (a ma
lignancy of the blood), syphilis, tu
berculosis. certain anemias and vita
min deficiencies— make one prone
to have nosebleeds. In young girls,
nosebleeds often occur during the
menstrual period.
People with high blood pressure
are particularly susceptible to nose
bleeds. In such cases you might com
pare the bleeding nose with the safety
valve on a steam engine letting off
steam. When the pressure gets too
high and the nose starts bleeding the
patient should consult his doctor with
a view to lowering the pressure.
Immediate treatment is directed
toward stopping the bleeding. When
the bleeding is from the front of the
nose a small piece of cotton may be
placed within the nostril and left in
place for a few minutes or as long
as a few hours. This usually stops‘
the nosebleed. |
When the bleeding is slight, pinch
ing the nostrils together may stop
the bleeding. This probably should
be tried even before cotton is placed
in the front of the nose. Placing
a cold wet cloth at the nostrils may
help.
If bleeding ls‘severe it may be
necessary to pack the nose more ex
tensively. Sometimes the packing is
done through the back of the mouth
and may extend up under the soft
palate.
The patient is usually placed in a
semi-recumbent or half sitting up,
half lying down position as this po
sition tends to lesson the bleeding.
If the bleeding destroys an enlarged
blood vessel in the nose, it may be
necessary to cauterize the vessel to
stop the bleeding.
Fortunately, most nosebleeds are
self-limited. The body’s ability to
cause blood to clot stops it. But
persistent nosebleeds, particularly if
they are profuse, suggest a serious
cause and effects should be made to
find the cause so that proper treat
ment can be started.
Doc MAG says:
Nosebleeds are no fun. They are
uncomfortable to have and distressing
to see. But most of them are not
serious and stop of their own accord.
Persistent and unusually heavy nose
bleeds, however, are cause for serious
concern.

BITING TRACTION!
The new Tempest claws up hills. Perfect balance gives it
biting traction. Puts equal weight on all four wheels. The gas
saving, 4-cylinder engine turns out 110, 115, 120 or 140 horse
power. Extra cost: a 166 h.p., 4-barrel carburetor “four” and a
190 h.p.V-8. Climb a hill in America's only front engine/rear
transmission car—it's balanced like none of the others.
