drivers of “unchecked cars” to
have them serviced for safety
immediately as a basic pre
caution.
Speaking from the court in
the city which pioneerer the
traffic safety movement and
has achieved national ac
cords for accident prevention,
Judge Harry H. Porter, chief
(justice of Evanston’s Municipal
(Court, declared a “safety
i checked motor vehicle is a fun
' damental start to safe travel.”
, The judge explained that
only 18 of 50 states have com
pulsory vehicle safety - check (
; programs. The remainder are j
on a “voluntary” basis. The
ibig “unknown quantity” con
sists of those drivers who did
not have their cars checked,
Judge Porter said. Are their
cars in safe driving condition?
“We hope that now, on their
own initiative, these unknown,
I owners of possibly unsafe cars,
will check them and, if neces- j
sary, take steps to put them in I
safe operating condition,” he'
urged. “The Auto Industries
Highway Safety Committee
did a commendable .job last
: spring of encouraging limited
: test activity on millions of cars
in most of the 32 states which
do not have periodic inspection
in official lanes or garages. But i
i these safety - checks were pri
marily spot - checks to alert
motorists to obvious hazards.
For example, consider one of
the ten items — the simple but
vital windshield wiper. Per
haps the most important single
factor relating to driving safely
and prevention of accidents is
that of driver visibility. Yet all
i that most lanes were able to
check was to see if the wiper
motor could move the blade
across the glass.”
If the blade rubber is dried
out from exposude, or if springs
in wiper arms are weak from
prolonged use, the wiper just
smears or streaks as it moves
back and forth across the wind
shield streaks obscure the dri
ver’s vision and tire his eyes,
'Judge Porter said. In some
I cases it’s like suddenly losing ;
. your eyeglasses. Studies show i
that on 60 out of 100 cars old-'
; er than one year, the wiper arm
pressure is too weak to provide i
clear wiping of rain, sleet,
snow, or road-muck spray,
j Even a new blade does not
alone correct this condition if
the arm pressure is to weak,.
Some wiper arms are adjust-
I able, others may need to be
replaced. Adequate arm pres
sure and live rubber in t h e
blades give streak - free wind
shield wiping like new again.
(Most drivers don’t know about
j the importance of wiper arm
| pressure, according to service
! station and garage men with
I whom Judge Porter has talk-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
ed, nor do they realize that 901
per cent of all driving deci-1
sions depend on good sight and
visibility.
It’s important to know this
because in a study of accidents:
in which vision obstruction was,
noted, the National Safety (
Council reports, half of those I
mishaps involved obscurements |
such as rain, snow and road
spray on the windshield. The
same deadly combination ac
counted for 39 per cent of fa
talities in such accidents.
“In view of recent record -
breaking fatalities, it makes
sense to say that the very least
we can do is to drive a safety
checked car. This checking can
be done any time at a service
station or auto dealer. Even
drivers get into trouble with
defective brakes, lights, sig
nals, poor visibility, etc. And
to complete the job let’s all go
through the summer driving I
with courtesy and common sen-;
se,” Judge Porter concluded.

Short Course

The University of Georgia’s
annual Beef Cattle Short

sity’s beef cattle barn on Col
lege Station Road in Athens on
July 28. Dr. R. A. Long, head
of the animal husbandry de
partment, announced.
Dr. Long said the course is
to be at the barn this year so
that those attending will be
able to see cows, calves and
yearlings on which records are
available for a demonstration
on grading, weighing, and iden
tification.
C. S. Radebaugh, first vice
president of the American Cat
tlemen’s Association, will meet
with Georgia cattlemen at the
course to discuss how they can
help themselves. He will speak
immediately after lunch.

a.m. Extension animal husband
men will discuss the “How” of
improvement, and W. M. War

animal husbandry department
at Virginia Polytechnic Insti

addition the rare bald eagle,

the now rare trumpeter swan.
Twice we had crossed the
great Continental Divide which
sends some of the nations
rivers and streams rushing to
| ward the Atlantic and some to
ward the Pacific, across the
I Washburn and Gallatin Ranges
' and numerous plateaux of the
. Rockies, in coming from the
| Lower to the Upper Basin of
I Yellowstone, and 01^1 Faith-
I ful Inn. We wondered why
Lewis of the Lewis-Clark Ex
pedition had a canyon, river
and lake bearing his name, and
Clark was not paid the same
tribute. Perhaps like most of
those who put service above
self, he was content that the
mission was accomplished.
We boarded buses for Ashton,
Idaho, to the tune of a de
lightful “Sing - Away” —a
charming custom of the Na
tional Park Lodges, in which
the college boys and girls of
the staff wish departing tour
ists bon voyage in song. En
route we enjoyed a stop over
for lunch a£ picturesque Stage
Coach Inn in West Yellow
stone Montana; and learned
the history of the 1959 earth
quake which sent 80 million
tons of rock crashing down the
mountain, blocking the mouth
of the Madison Canyon, and
flooding Hebgen Lake, with a
tremendous loss in life, and
property damage.
We knew we would miss
connections for the trip to
Zion, Grand, Bryce and Ce
dar Breaks Canyons by about
an hour, when we returned to
Salt Lake City. However, we
looked forward to the day of
rest, 'and another opportunity
of seeing the Sidney Grahams.
In conversation with other
Canyons bound sight-seers in
the station, we learned that the
southbound train was an hour
late. A quick trip to the hotel
for checked baggage; hasty ex
change of clothes from the
“carry” to the “check” lug
gage; last minute purchase of
tickets and we were on our
way!
Again we became a part of
mountain, desert and plain, as
they spread up and out in our
view from the glass-enclosed
Vista-Dome. Through the Tin
tic Mountains, Unita and Fish
lake National Forests, Black
Desert, Cricket and Beaver
Mountains; past extinct vol
canoes, now mined for lava
gravel used in surfacing roads,
on to Lund, Idaho, where
buses were waiting to take us
on to Cedar City, and Zion Na
tional Park.
“Heavenly”, some have call
ed Zion. Its monuments reflect
that theme, with such names as
the Great White Throne, Tem
ple of Sinawava. Angels Land
ing, the Great Organ, etc. The
Great White Throne, one of the
worlds largest rocks, is red at
its base, gradually changing
into rose, apricot and finally
chalk white at its summit. Zion
was discovered in 1858 by an
early Mormon, Nephi Johnson,
and was proclaimed a national
park in 1919.
From Zion Lodge, the bus
carried us on the Mt. Carmel
Highway, and the mile long
tunnel of that name, from
which galleries have been
broken out, providing breath
taking views of the series of
six switchbacks, (wind
ing road) and the val
ley below. Both were named
for Mt. Carmel Smith, an early
explorer and Indian fighter.
Grand Canyon Lodge was the
next stop. Here, mere man
comes face to face with the
Master Artists omnipotence,
and his own minuteness, as he
beholds nature’s carving of a
billion and a half years. Over
a mile deep, from 8 to 10 miles
wide and 200 miles in length,
this chasm of infinite magni
tude and beauty, is said to have
been cut thru the centuries by
the corrosive action of the
Colorado River, which in its
depth, appears to be but a tiny,
winding brook. The Lodge,
perched on the brink of the
Canyon's north rim, has with
its huge plate glass enclosure,
what is one of the world’s most
beautiful picture windows.
