Apply in an area extending beyond the outer foliage mass of shrubs, Mr. Smith advises. Subscribe to the BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Many Accidents After Dark Are Caused by Glare With a big Labor Day weekend coming up, the Georgia Optome tric Association this week cau tioned drivers to “lower your speed with the sun.” Authoritative national statistics show that, on a mileage basis, the nighttime death rate is two and a half the daylight ratio. The cause of many night acci dents, the Association said, is glare. Lights left on high beam — or even poorly adjusted low beam lights — are the greatest offenders because you get the full blast of brilliance in your eyes. The older you are the more likely you will be a victim of glare. A person’s glare resistance is best between the ages of 20 to 29, yet 1 out of 7 in this group is deficient. In the 30 to 39 year bracket, 1 in 3 is below par; af ter 50, only about 1 in 7 is nor mal. The best remedy for this weak ness is the brake pedal: In that moment of blindness after the other car passes, you may ram a car with no tail lights or run into a pedestrian. Here are some other good rules to follow: 1. Watch the right-hand edge of the pavement instead of look ing at the oncoming lights. 2. Never wear dark glasses at night. They reduce visibility. 3. Alwyas try to look beyond the range of your headlights. HAPPINESS IS A SOLEMN THING — Maybe you could use these lovely lines in the next speech you make about education. Mark Van Doren, the retired English professor at Columbia whose gentle words I used to lis ten to as if they were music, writes this: “Education’s purpose is to make people happier thar they would have been without it. Happiness doesn’t mean having a good time. Happiness is the most solemn thing, almost, that can happen to anybody. Very few people are happy. The best chance to be happy is to be educated. The happiness of a student con sists in his achieving, to whatever extent is possible, the freedom to use his mind. Nothing is more fun than using one’s mind.” FERTILIZING SHRUBS One of the most common causes of death of shrubs during summer months is overfertiliza tion. Application of heavy rates of fertilizer to shrubs at one time can easily kill small roots of plants, preventing the uptake of water, according to Gerald Smith, Extension horticulturist. Mr. Smith says the safest procedure is to apply fertilizer to shrubs frequently but in small amounts. Chances of damage are also re duced if fertilizer is applied to wet soil and then thoroughly soaked into the soil. One man told the editor of the Brantley Enterprise that five families read his Enterprise each week. “Why don’t you sell them a subscription” he asked the edi tor. Well, why don’t we? We’ve tried but are they willing? Legal Advertising Georgia, Brantley County.
