Wilder Spoke
To Jackson
D.C.T. Club
i
The Jackson High DCT held its
monthly meeting March 18th and
heard a most interesting talk on
highway safety by Barney Wilder,
a member of the Jackson Police
Department.
Mr. Wilder told the members
that when a person receives his
drivers license consent for the
breathe test is implied. If a per
son refuses to take this test his
license may be revoked for up
to six months, the speaker as
serted. Mr. Wilder explained how
the test works, saying that a plas
tic bag is used to catch the
breath of the person taking the
test with the bag attached to a
machine which measures the
amount of alcohol. This test, ac
cording to Mr. Wilder, is as ac
curate as a blood test. He pointed
out that the blood test had to be
discontinued because results were
being tampered with by various
persons with such a test not being
upheld in court. Mr. Wilder said
that blood tests can be used for
detection of drugs. He said that
a 10% reading on the breathe
test is enough to be considered
as legal evidence but that a per
son can be booked on much less.
Mr. Wilder said the sight of
police cars has a definite effect
on potential speeders. The speak
er said that when a traffic of
fender breaks the law, he actually
expects the law to stop him and
if this does not happen he loses
respect for the authority of the
law and usually continues to
break it.
Mr. Wilder said that many peo
ple believe that you must be
clocked by a police car before
you can be arrested for speed
ing. This is erroneous, he pointed
out, for a person can be arrested
on “driving too fast for condi
tions.”
Mr. Wilder told of many
tragedies that occur when a per
son tries to outrun the law. He
pointed out, “you may outrun
the patrol car but you cannot
outrun his radio.”
April 9th is the date sej; for
the employee-employer banquet.

scarlet and yellow costume, and
carries a stick. He is always
quarreling with people. He is
loud and boisterous. He whacks a
foe in every act. The show is
built up by jokes, surprises,
fights, song, dance and riotous
slap stick fun.

Heavy Rains,
Over 6 Inches,
Deluge County
If any Butts countians were ob
served last week beginning con
struction of an ark, their actions
were certainly justified, excus
able and understandable what
with more than five inches of
rain that fell in the county dur
ing the week, principally from
Wednesday until Friday.
Rain gauges over the county
showed varying amounts but the
rain was generally conceded to be
the heaviest in the county in
about a twelve month period. It
gave much needed moisture to
crops and was expected to be a
boon to pastures and grain.
The rainfall at Lloyd Shoals,
according to G. W. Washington,
showed a total of 4.3 inches in
the period of Wednesday, March
18th, through March 21st.
B. B. Campbell, former county
agent and widely known farmer
of the Towaliga district, said his
gauge showed 3V2 inches during
the rain of Wednesday and
Thursday, March 18th and 19th.
Marion Todd, county manager
of the ASCS office and farmer of
the Old Bethel Community, re
ported his gauge showed a total
of 5.2 inches, the heaviest amount
believed recorded in the county.
Mr. Todd said that the rain had
not caused serious eroision yet
but if a real hard rain fell some
erosion would likely occur.
T. T. Patrick, widely known
farmer who resides on the Grif
fin Road, said that his gauge
showed 3.6 inches in the period
between Thursday, March 19th,
at six o’clock until six o’clock
Friday morning, March 20th. Mr.
Patrick said that as of Saturday

A cold front that moved slow
