Motorbike Safety Rules
Lrged To Curb Accidents
With the ever increasing
popularity of motorcycle rid
ing, an increasing number of
accidents are being recorded.
Michael B. Birmingham of the
Greater New York Safety
Council recommends, “Those
who intend to ride motocycles
should first receive instruction
to acquire special skills and
then demonstrate proficiency
in handling what is acknowl
edged as basically an unstable
vehicle.”
Mr. Birmingham said that
no one should get on a motor
cycle as driver or rider without
a helmet. He also recom
mended :
Wear sturdy protective cloth
ing and footgear. Never ride
with bare arms or legs.
Check controls before start
ing the engine. Let it warm
Wright Speaks On France
Mitchell R. Wright, a native of
Covington who has resided In
Paris, France for some 20 years,
was the guest speaker at the
Covington Kiwanis Club meeting
Thursday.
Mr. Wright Immediately open
ed his part of the program to
questions and answers about
France and himself. For more
than 30 minutes Klwanians asked
questions and the speaker adeq
uately explained each in detail,
giving his own personal opinion
of some of the queries.
The first question asked was
about Charles de Gaulle, his phil
osophies, his regime and his
future programs for France. Mr.
Wright said that de Gaulle has
his opposition in France, but
“Nevertheless, he has put order
and discipline into the country;
which they didn’t have before
him.”
Other opinions of the speaker
were;
“France has two major prob
lems at the present time; labor
and housing.”
“France is suspicious of Ger
many and does not desire to get
drawn into another World War.
The French people had four years
of occupation after the last war.
They still remember that.’
“Renault and Simca cars are
the two main automobiles made
In France.”
"Gasoline Is sl.lO per gallon,
and that is because of the fuel
being shipped in by tanker.”
"France and central Europe
are getting closer to one universal
language.”
"In 100 years the center of
Paris will be a historical monu
ment as the buildings are not
torn down. The city is gradually
spreading out to the suburbs.”
"The newspapers In Paris give
a lot of publicity to the racial
situation in America — everyone
seems to know who Lester
Maddox is.’-
“The common market has
aided France and many foreign
products are brought into the
country.”
Mr. Wright said he still main
tains his American citizenship.
Several visitors were present
to hear the Covingtonlan and
many expressed the opinion that
it was an educational and enter
taining program.
Those present for the meeting
included Mrs. Robert Fowler,
Rev. Owen Kellum, Doug Jolley
and Wayne Rooks. The latter two
young men are members of the
Newton Key Club.

State Highway Maintenance
Forces in the Tennille Division
have resurfaced approximately
200 miles of highways at an ap
proximate cost of $600,000.00
and perform routine maintenance
on the 2,812 miles of highways
in the Tennille Division territory
at an annual cost of approximately
$2,036,880.00.
“Some of these projects will
benefit thousands of motorists
each day. Some will serve only
a relative few by comparison, but
the need is equally important
to the individuals involved in
each case.
“The dollar volume of work
now underway in the 28 counties
of the Tennille Division gives an
idea of the size of today’s high
way program. It also points up
the fact that highway building is in
itself a major industry as well as
an asset to other business
activity. For example, this div
ision headquarters in Tennille
has an annual payroll of approxi
mately $744,375.00, which is
equivalent to a small commer
cial industry; The Swainsboro

$92,500.00; and every main

makes a contribution to its area’s
economy.” Mr. Patrick con
