SUPERHIGHWAYS WON’T SOLVE NATION’S ACCIDENT PROBLEM Speaker Urges Tighter Traffic Law Enforcement PHILADELPHIA — A network o f superhighways crisscrossing the country will be a boon to traffic movement but will prove incapable of reducing traffic ac cidents the 40 to 50 percent that has been promised unless the program includes proper traffic law enforcement, Paul H. Blais dell, traffic safety director of the Association of Casualty and Sure ty Companies declared Tuesday. Mr. Blaisdell, speaking to the Mid-Atlantic Highway Confer ence in session here, stated that shred of evidence with our exist ing post-war creations in super highways to support the promise that a better highway, alone and unaided, will greatly reduce our traffic accident experience. “Instead, we have ample proof that until modern highways have the accompaniment of stepped up traffic law enforcement and tight er driver control, there is just as great a likelihood that our ac cident troubles will increase. The growing favorable traffic casu alty record of the present turn pikes and superhighways dates only from the day that modern techniques of enforcement were applied freely, firmly and impar tially.” Mr. Blaisdell, who spoke on be half of the insurance organiza tion’s Accident Prevention De partment, declared that the Asso ciation of Casualty and Surety Companies “. . .supports fully the program for a better national sys tem of highways.” Modern high ways, he emphasized, if accom panied by modern enforcement, would make a major contribution to traffic accident prevention but warned against risking the case for a national good highways pro gram on exaggeration of safety possibilities. “It would appear to be a state ment of the obvious,” he pointed out, “to say that the building of adequate .modern highways would reduce traffic accidents. Our com mon sense alone will indicate that the elimination of curves, the widening of pavement, the im provement of surface, the correc tion of grades and the redesign of intersections would so greatly improve the flow of traffic and would so engineer safety into the roadway that accidents should drop sharply. ‘'A look at the record, how ever, tends to shatter this ideal ism. Reports of the states tell us that 78 percent of the fatal traf fic accid en t s take place on straight, level roads, with the re maining 22 percent on some com bination of curve, turn, grade or crest of hill. Moreover, the ex perience with our eastern turn pikes tells us that when the high way is engineered for safety, we substitute other types of traffic accident for the varieties com mon to the outmoded and more crowded highways and thus still keep the casualty toll at a high level. “There can be little doubt that the straightening of sharp curves or the reduction of steep grades might help lower the 22 percent of our accident involvement in which these highway features play a part. However, we may only be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Improved high way designs are in the direction of a type which apparently pro- NEW SARASOTA TERRACE । Hotel SARASOTA, FLORIDA LOW PACKAGE RATES * Double occupancy, Including / minimum air fore from cities ’ listed: ATLANTA $ 72.02 BOSTON 135.42 CHICAGO 122.02 NEW ORLEANS 82.02 NEW YORK 114.42 PHILADELPHIA ... 115.32 WASHINGTON, D.C. 99.02 DRIVE-YOURSELF special low rate ' $29.95.

Limited access facilities seem to increase the frequency of acci dents in which “following too closely”, fatigue and “running off the road” are featured. “Plainly, I am of the opinion that the calm assumption that more and better highways will guarantee 40 to 50 percent fewer traffic accidents is either wishful thinking or in overzealous at tempt to justify the highway pro gram. Into the total cost of high way progress we must figure the added cost of strict control if co-partner. We are not dealing with a handful of highway users or a few main roads, but with 70,000,000 drivers and 60,000,000 vehicles. Half measures and small projects will solve neither the highway problem nor the traffic accident problem. “What can we do about it? “We can remember that in the billions of dollars we urge for new highways, a few millions need to be earmarked for control of the facility we create. If safe ty is an integral and inseparable part of the whole highway prob lem — which I believe it to be — there is more to safety planning for new roads than design fea tures. It would be foolhardy to think of improving the highway system first and adding safety control as an afterthought. To meet the problems of the new highways, we must increase the means of enforcement and con trol. Police and driver license of ficials must have the personnel, the training for that personnel and the modern, equipment to do the complete job of highway sup ervision. This is a job they al ready know how to do if suffici ent public backing and money were available. “As a conservative estimate, it has been suggested that a truly adequate highway system might save 3,500 lives and 120,000 per sonal injuries a year. That’s about 10 percent of the present annual toll. I believe this figure to be a reasoned and candid appraisal of possibility, uninfluenced by emo tion or the desire to “sell” an idea. Such a saving would be a return on our highway invest ment over and above the bene fits to transportation. Definite ly, that saving is worth going after!” MOST FOR YOUR JOB > NOW...THE SHORTEST STROKE IN ANV LEADING TRUCK !

Dorsey Dyer and Nelson Brightwell, say. In a leaflet, Half a Tree Is Not Enough, the two foresters point out that the economic future of Georgia depends to a great extent on the manner in which the state’s woodlands are managed. The answer to the situation, they say, lies in education. ‘County and home demonstra tion agents devoted 80 percent more time to forestry work in 1954 than they did in 1949; more than 4,000 local leaders assisted the agents on a volunteer basis with the state’s educational for estry program, and over 8,000 Four-H Club members carried forestry projects last year,” the foresters report. This is the larg est number of forestry projects carried by 4-H’ers in any state. “Georgia also has the largest 4-H Club forestry training camp program in the nation. The ex tension Service conducts three camps each year with each camp lasting a week. These are spon sored by the Union Bag and Paper Company, the American Turpentine Farmers Association, and the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company,” Dyer says. Another highlight of the 4-H forestry program is the “Tree Appreciation Day.” On this day Georgia 4-H’ers provide one tree to each boy and girl of school age in the state. Poor timber harvesting meth ods, growing stock volume con tinually being reduced, decreas ing naval stores production, and some counties not under organiz ed fire protection, are problems which the Extension Service is working closely with other agen cies and organizations to improve, the foresters state. The leaflet, Half a Tree Is Not Enough, is being distributed by county and home demonstration agents. ALL YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS ANYTHING EXCEPT LIFE. LAMAR GIBSON Nahunta Office Hours: Friday — 9:00 to 5:00 Saturday — 9:00 to 12:00 Nurse Training Offered at Macon Hospital MACON—Young women inter ested i n becoming registered nurses can now get a full aca demic year of college study as a regular part of their three-year course at The Macon Hospital School of Nursing, Mrs. Margan i G. Klemer, Director of the School, said today. Arrangements have oeen com pleted for next year between the Mercer University and The Ma con Hospital school whereby stu dent nurses will have their first year classes on the college cam pus just like all other Mercer freshmen. The nursing students will receive full college credits for their work and they may use them after they have become registered nurses if they choose. However, since the student nurses will live in the hospital’s newly refurnished nurses resi dences with room and board pro vided by the hospital, the cost of this hospital-college coordinat ed program is small. In this way many young women who other wise could not afford college nursing work are able to attend The Macon Hospital’s school. Applications for next Septem ber’s class are now being receiv ed, Mrs. Klemer said. She invited all young women who have a high school diploma to see or write to her about entering the nursing school. After they have finished three college quarters at Mercer, the new class of student nurses will have slightly more than two years of additional study and clinical experience in The Macon Hos pital’s $6,000,000 air-conditioned building. This new building is now nearing completion and will be opened early in 1956. “The addition of the co-educa tional campus life at Mercer to our School of Nursing program was a big step forward,” Mrs. Klemer said. “Besides all the friend-rriaking recreational activi ties, we can offer the highest level of scholastic opportunity to be found in a three-year nursing program. Here at The Macon Hos pital School of Nursing we now have the faculty, facilities, and tradition for providing young wo men with the best in nursing ed ucation.” Keep Government Close to People, Talmadge Urges ATLANTA— Deploring the de velopment in this country of the philosophy that the federal gov ernment is best qualified to de termine what is in the best in terest of all citizens, former Gov. Herman Talmadge told a recent meeting of the Georgia County Officers Assn, in Atlanta that this trend has developed to such an extent it “no longer is possible to peddle pelanuts on the streets without federal regulations.” Talmadge said the same school which would concentrate all states’ powers in Washington also would hand all the powers of the cities, counties and local political subdivisions to state governments, and warned the county officials to be on guard and resist such usurpation. Said he; “The closer we keep govern ment to the people, the better that government is. . .under their watchful eyes and in their cus tody.” PULPWOOD PRODUCERS BRING YOUR CREW TO FARGO, GEORGIA SEE DYALWOODJNC.
