Safely Supervisor Addresses Clarke ~
Couniy Women Volers At Hoiman Hofel
Athens Courts — including Re
corder’s Court, City Court, and
Superior Ccurt — came in for a
nice round of applause and com
mendation from members of the
Clarke County Women Voters at
their regular monthly meeting
yesterday at which Joseph Lowe,
safety supervisor -of - Simpson
Trucking Company, was featured
speaker,
The meeting, held at - Holman
Hotel, was preceded by a lunch
eon. h
Introduced by W. T. Sullivan,
manager of Simpsons, Mr. Lowe
outlined the three “E’s” of traffic
safety and stressed the importance
which this country’s network of
transportation facilities play in
the daily life of the nation.
Of the three “E’s” named, Mr.
Lowe asserted that Education is
the most important, although he
granted the vital part enacted by
Enforcement and. Engineering.
The Enforcement, he said, will be
necessary until drivers realize
their full responsibility of the
road.
Mr. Sullivan, in introducing the
speaker, stated that the Anrerican
people have become accustomed
to seeing victims of wrecks hauled
into town for treatment and their
battered cars towed in behind
wreckers. “Increased congestion,
an ever-mounting number of vehi
cles on th 2 road,” he said, “makes
it even more necessary to realize
that accidents may happen to us.”
The safety supervisor compli
mented Clarke county on the fact
that there were no accidents here
during the holiday, stating that
the record showed someone was
doing “fine work.”
956 Persons Killed
Facts and figures pointed out in
the course of Mr. Lowe’s address
to the assembled members of the
women’s voting organization and
their visitors, revealed that 956
persons were killed in this state
last year as a result of auto and
traffic mishaps. The cost in dollars
was estimated by the State Patrol
as being approximately $50,000,-
000.
That figure, he termed ‘“the
price of the privilege to kill our
friends and family.”
Breaking down the major
causes of traffic fatalities and the
Joss of property, Mr. Lowe laid
‘the blame to speeding drunks and
plain speeders. “The man just
‘about to pass out,” he explained,
‘“geldom drives fast — it’s the one
‘who has just had two or three
‘beers or ‘friendly’ highballs who's
dangerous cn the road.”
| Local Courts Praised
«If we had more judges like the
ones in Athens’ Recorder, City and
Superior Courts,” he declared,
“the number of traffic collisions
would be cven further decreased.”
Mr. Lowe paid tribute to the
nation’s truck drivers for their
amazing record of safety precau
tions and the minimum number of
accidents in which trucks are in
volved. The number of motor ve
hicles in chis state, he placed at
over a million. Five percent of
that number are classified as “for
hire” and only 2.75 percent of that
number are big trucks.
Truck drivers, whom Mr. Lowe
called “professional drivers,”’ are
subjected to an unusual test of
«survival of the fittest,” and have
maintained a phenomenally low
record of fatalities and wrecks.
Other topics of traffic safety
which Mr. Lowe reviewed at the
meeting was a f)roposed amend
ment to make all automotive rev
enue for the exclusive use of
highway improvement, the vital
part of highways and transporta
tion facilities in civil defense, and
the economic role of transporta=-
tion.
" He pointed out that all daily
commodities are transported by
truck at some time and that one
in ovorg seven jobs s connected
with ighway transportation—
either in trucking, taxi cabs,
busses or some other area of the
general field.
A movie, based on the Los An
geles City Court, was shown at the
conclusion of Mr. Lowe’s address.
The movie, entitled “A Day In

national Harvester Company. Al
though there was some difficulty
with the projection machine, caus
ing delay ir the film’s showing,
the entire assemblage remained to
see the film and to derive its les
son which was condensed in the
slogan, “Courtesy Is Contagious.”
Mrs. L. M. Sheffer, president of
Clarke County Women Voters,
presided at the meeting and intro
duced visitors, who included
Mayor Jack R. Wells, Judge Ar
thur Oldham, Captain J. H. Por
terfield, and Preston Almand.

Summer months are particular
ly important for child safety in
traffic. They are carefree months
for junior. Too involved in play
he may menace his own life by
taking thoughtless chances in traf
fic.
According to the National Safety
Council, it is up to the parents to
see that their children:—
« . .always play on a play
ground—never in or mnear the
street.
“ . .always walk on sidewalks
or well away from the path of
oars.
“« . .always cross streets care
fully—stop at the curb; look both
ways and for turning traffic; wait
until it’s safe and then walk cross
the street.
# . ride bikes skillfully; obey
traffic regulations and give hand
signals, Know the dangers of stunt
riding on streets.
« . know the safest route to
those places to which they go re
gularly.”
While i L{ true parents eannot
be on hand to surpervise each and
every ms teken junior, these
safety rules x‘U be
on him, says the Counail. The way
to do so ig for parents to dtt«&n
the proper respect lfi fia -

The Woman's Vote
2; C¥NTHIA LOWRY
Newsfeatures Writer
Now is the time for women wha
are Important enough qolitieally
to lssue statements to issue the
same old"one: Women can control
the forthcoming elections if they'd
just exercise their franchise, on
account there are more potential
women voters than men voters.
The Statement, which I seem to
have been reading annually for the
last 10 years, worries me and dis
tresses me., If The Statement is
merely an effort on the part of
the two political parties to per
suade more women to get out and
vote, I'll stop worrying. But if
the major domos in either or both
political parties believe there
really and truly is such a thing
as “the women’s vote,” I shall
continue to fret.
I hate to think that our two big
political parties in this year of
1952 can actually believe there
is such a thing as a “women’s
vote,” although they both have
women’s divislons., Tl'll admit
'that women don’t turn up at the
polls in the proper numbers—but
men don’t either, as the pretty
horrifying figures on the 1948
election show, But when the po
litical parties insist on talking
about a block of votes which they
refer to blithely as the “woman’s
vote,” it indicates to me that
Republicans and Democrats alike
beiieve that the woman’s vote is
a thing quite apart fren the “in
dependent vote,” “the labor
vote,”* “the Southern vote” or
“the farm vote.”
Unfortunately, or maybe for
tunately, votes aren’t tabulatedl
by the sexes in a national elec
tion so actually the way women
vote is deduced rather than known:
There *is plenty of evidence
around, however, that “the wom- 1
en's vote” can no more be de
livered by special appeal than
can something which might be—
but never has been-—referred to as
“the men’s vote.”
I understand that there are
roughly 100 million people eli
gible to vote in the November
elections. If everybody who was
entitled to a vote went to the
poils, 51 million women would
cast their ballot and 49 million
men woud do likewise. Taking
the 1948 results as a particularly
poor example of the voting in
’terest of the people—only about
52 per cent of the eligibles took
the trouble to ballot—it seems
that there are plenty of people
representing the men’s vote who
didn’t get to the polls either.
Maybe the apparent belief that
there really is something called
the women’s vote is a hangover
from the early post-suffrage days
when the whole idea of women
| actually in politics scared the
living daylights out of male poli
ticians. American men seem to
be frightened of the prospect of
unpredictable females fooling
‘around in preserves marked off
for the male sex. I suspect male
'politicians had bad jitters when
they realized that a woman'’s vote
| was going to count exaetly as
, much as a man’s vote. The ob
' vious solution to that problem:
lwas to create a special depart
ment where women’s political
Interests—whatever they are—
eould be coped with by olpcml
other women.
Today. however, these special
women's departments in the po
litical parties are as old-fashioned
a 8 the reticule and corset cover,
except for fund-raising and leg
work., Women today are as con
cerned as men about such matters
as taxes, costs of living, foreign
and domestic policy, education,
general welfare and—above all—
peace. And women generally have
as wide a range of opinions as
their husbands and sons,
If the political parties seek to
attract the women’s votes, they’ll
have to do it within the frame
work of their pitch to some of the
other groups. It is just possible,
for instance, to find a Southern
woman factory worker who isn't 1
enrolled in any party. She’'s a
woman voter, all right, but she’s;
also part of the Southern vote,
the independent vote, the labor
vote, Most women will vote as
citizens, and better informed
ones than ever before. And maybe
a little more cynical, too.
No matter what the parties do in
an effort to attract women to their
respective standards, most of the
women will be drawn into camp
by their own ideas of what the
party or candidate stands for.
And for proof of divergent epin
ion, I suggest that our male poli
ticians make a little, informal
survey on the opinions of any
for women on a fifth woman’s
hat.

'Prefty Girl Engineer
'Knows Her Slide Rule

AP Newsfeatures po Ay
PITTSBURGH. — Pretty Sara
Ann Lance is the first woman to
receive a Bachelor of Science de
gree with a major in Civil Engi
neering from Carnegie Institute of
Technology.
Sally’s career came naturally.
Her father was an engineer and
Sally was raised on a diet of col
unmng, trusses and beams.
Unlike most girls Sally found
“tinker toys” and “erector sets”
under her Christmas tree rather
‘than baby dolls and carriages. By
the time she finished high school
and was ready for college there
was no doubt in her mind what
course she wanted to pursue.
Sally began her studies at Pur
due University—her father’s Alma
Mater. In her junior year, she
transferred to Carnegie Tech after
completing general engineering at
Purdue, including foundry, weld
ing and surveying.
“At times it was a bit rough.”
reminisces the 23-year-old blonde,
“pbut it was a lot of fun too.” She
|explains:
“The men in my classes were
ever ready to lend a helping hand
when I found a foundry mold too
heavy and obligingly poured a
| bucket of water over my head
iwhen a spark from gas welling
flew into my hair.”
Sally believes engineering is a
man’s profession only because
few womea have ever attempted
it.
“But there’s nothing to engi
neering that a woman can’t do if
she has the proper qualifica=-
tions,” remarks Sally.
What are the qualifications?
According to Sally, she nrust:
Like rmathematics, physics,
sciences and have an active and
inquisitive mind.
Be analyvtical in her considera
tion of a problem and logical in
her reasoning toward the solution
of that problem. BShe can’t play
hunches or jump to conclusions.
Seek facts, recognize the facts
when she finds them, and use
only facts in the solution of the
problem at hand.
Be attractive, for no woman is
ever respected by either men or
women unless she keeps herself
attractive.
Sally graduated from Tech two
years ago and is employed by the
Pittsburgh firnr of Peth and Reec,
Consulting Civil Enginéers in the
design of heavy mill structure and
highway bridges.
She’s been granted her engi
neer-in-training certificate by the
State Board of Registration for
Professionzal Engineers and in
tends to take her examination for
registration as a professional en
gineer as soon as she has acquired
four years of experience, .
In additicn to her engineering
work, Saliy enjoys swimming,
dancing, playing golf and study
ing French.
