nor.”

Free Coffee Should Make Our
Holiday Highways Safer
A deep bow to the thousands of restaurant owners who
are serving free coffee to road-weary drivers this holiday
season. The “season to be merry” is now the “season to be
careful” for all who drive — or are driven — on our lethal
highways.
No one likes to inject a somber note into any thought of
this happiest time of the year, but last year, 53,000 Amer
icans died and almost 2 million were injured in traffic ac
cidents. There were more than 1,000 deaths during the 1967
ing into the bright, pleasant restaurant is helpful. The re
viving cup of hot coffee gives the driver an important
time-out to recover from that often-fatal ailment, highway
hypnosis.
Clearly, restaurants taking part in this important program
are providing a public service of value to us all. The words
“free” and “coffee” have strong appeal, used together. Ex
perience shows that people stop for a rest break much more
readily when coffee is offered as an incentive—and if that
incentive is free, so much the better.
Participating restaurants identify themselves by promi
nently displaying a hexagonal sign saying, “Stop here . .
Free Coffee . . . Safety Break.” There are no gimmicks in
this offer. Any motorist may stop at any restaurant display
ing the sign and get free coffee. Along with it, he will get a
refreshing change of pace that will enable him to drive better
when he returns to the steering wheel.
Al ore Engineers Needed;
High Schools Can Help
ATLANTA — Within the next
decade, the United States will
need in excess of 300,000 more
engineers than its engineering
colleges will produce at the pre
sent rate of enrollment. The cri
tically needed manpower is going
to come from high schools, if a
crises is to be averted.
Georgia Tech, in association
with the Junior Engineering Tec
hnical Society (JETS) is spon
soring a state-wide search this
year for engineering aptitude in
high school students. Known as
the National Engineering Aptitude
Search, the program features a
series of tests which may be
taken by high school students
in grades 9-12. Special emphasis
is placed on encouraging ninth
and tenth graders to participate.
Tbe deadline for Georgia high
school students to register for
the test has been extended from
the original November 8 dead
line, according to Dr. F. W.
Schutz, Jr., JETS coordinator
for Georgia. A limited supply
of additional tests has been ob-

alone. Safety experts are
hopeful that free coffee stops
will reduce these grim totals
by generating hundreds of
thousands of drivers’ rest
breaks which would otherwise
not take place.
Rest breaks for drivers are
recommended as a highly ef
fective way to offset fatigue
and drowsiness —a major
cause of accidents. The very
act of parking the car and go-
talned as a gift to Georgia Tech, :
and applications will be accepted:
as long as the supply last?.
On January 18, the aptitude
test will be given to an estim
ated 2,000 Georgia high school
students at 43 testing centers
throughout the state, and also on
the Tech campus. According:
to Dr. Schutz, the test scores
which are provided the student:
and the high school counselor are
intended only to help the student
decide whether engineering is a
field of study that he or she might
consider following high school ;
graduation.
According to Dr. Schutz, the.
tests do not predict whether the
student will be successful prac
ticing engineering.
Georgia high school students
who wish to obtain an application :
for the National Engineering Ap- •
tltude Search should contact their •
high school counselor or write
Dr. Schutz at Georgia Institute -
of Technology, Atlanta.
