Drivers Need To
Always Use Turn
&
Signais -- Burson
ATLANTA (GPS) — K moto
rists would always use turn sig=-
nals in driving — and use them
properly — Georgia’s trafficac=-
cidents and resultant deaths could
be substantially reduced, in the
opinion of Col. R. H. Burson,
director of the Georgia Depart=
ment of Public Safety.
«The proper use of turn sig
nals is probably one of the grea
test deterents to highway acci
dents that a motor vehicle op
erator can perform while dri
ving,?”” Col. Burson said in ap
pealing to motorists to help re=
duce needless accidents by con=-
stantly using their directional
signals.
The safety director suggested
the use of turn signals in the
following situations:
1. When making a change of
sanes in city traffic and on the
highways.
2. To warn other drivers be=
hind and in front of you of your
intentions to turn.
3. When approaching an in
tersection at which you plan to
turn, use your turn signal at least
200 feet before reaching the in
tersection.
4, Before moving from a
curb, but first check to make
sure you are not pulling out in
front of approaching cars.
«Use of turn signals is vital
to maintaining safety on our tho=-
roughfares, both in the cities
and on the highways,’’ Col. Bur=
son said. ‘‘And especially is this
true on expressways and inter
state roads where cars travel
at an even higher rate of speed,”’
he added.

What To Do
If You Lose
&
Credit Card
losing a credit card is just
like losing money, and every year
about nine million credit cards
are lost or stolen.
And about one million of these
lost cards, says Miss Lora Laine,
Extension home economist - home
management, are used to buy
about $156 million worth
of merchandise. ¢Can you afford
to have some of your hard-earned
cash get away from you in this
manner?’? she asks.
What can you do to protect
yourself?
«First of all,’”” advises Miss
Laine, ‘e very careful with your
credit cards. Then if you lose
one anyway, notify the issuer
of the card immediately by
telephone. Give the firm
your name and address exactly
as they are on the card, and the
number of the card.
¢«Then confirm your call with
a follow=up letter giving the same
information. Keep a copy of your
letter. This is proof that you
notified the firm.”
Miss Laine points out, ¢You
aren’t responsible for purchases
made on your card after youhave
given notice of its loss. You.
are responsible for all purchases
made with a lost card until the
company is notified.”’
The Extension Service home
economist suggests making a list
of all your creditcards=--byname
of firm, telephone number,
address, the exact name and ad
dress used on the card, and its
number. ‘‘Keep this list in a
safe place where you can get to
it readily,” she adds. ¢Your
billfold is not the place; it could
be lost or stolen along with your
credit cards.”
Another way to protect yourself
is with credit card insurance,
Miss Laine continues. ‘‘Several
companies sell this type
insurance. Some homeowner
policies have this provision. Fees
run something like $3 to $5 a
year for SI,OOO coverage. But
you still must notify the issuer of
the card’s loss.
SECONDHAND WATER —
Waste water that has been puri
fied for reuse — is the best long
range possibility for solving the
cities’ problems of water pollu
tion and water supply, reports a
Columbia University urban plan
ner, He says that we have the
technology for large-scale appli
cation of water recycling.
The obstacles are cost and
psychological uneasiness.

When Should Piano Lessons Begin?
By KATHRYN T. CLINE
Music Department,
laGrange College
At what age a child should be
gin piano lessons is often asked
of teachers. This might beterm=-
ed the $64,000 question, for there
are many things to consider.
Is the child ready to learn —
physically as well as mentally?
Children of approximately the
same age mature at different
times, Some are much slower
than others in learning to walk
and talk. A baby does not walk
until his bones and muscles are
strong enough to support him.
In the same way, a child’s hands
must be large enough to span
five keys before he can play the
piano. He also needs to have
learned to count to five and to
take directions.
Very rarely a child might be
gin lessons at the age of five.
Historians tell us that Mozart
was picking out tunes on the
harpsichord when he was th
ree years old, was studying lit
tle minuets at four, and compos=
ing them at five. One of these
minuets, included in his pub=-
lished works, is quite nice. Os
course Papa Mozart wrote it
down for him. The child was a
genius.
Most children would do bet=
ter to wait on music lessons un=-
til they have had two years in
school. Eight is usually a good
age to begin. Frances Ilg and
Louise Ames say in their bookon
«¢Child Behavior,”” ¢Nothing is
too difficult for the eight-year
old, the new and difficult is an
exciting challenge which he tends
to meet with great zest.”
By this age a child’s attention
span is greater. He can concen=
trate longer, his muscles arest
ronger, and his individual fin
gers work better. If he begins
too early, he tends to tire of
lessons by the time he is nine
or 10 and wants to quit.
Some children, who do not be=
gin earlier, request lessons at
10 or 11 years of age and do
quite well because they really
want to learn to play. Most of
them do not have to be encour
aged to practice as strongly as
does the younger child. Actually,
the age at which a child begins
is not as important as his want
ing or not wanting to learn to
play. Some pupils learn in spite
of poor teachers, and some won’t
even try for excellent teachers.
However, the more a person
wants to learn, the more he will
work to acquire that learning.
Some students are very enthu=
siastic about piano lessons when
they begin, but gradually lose
interest. Often this is because

the teacher insists on their lear=
ning music they don’t like. Per
haps it is too difficult, or too
easy or baby-like. There is too
much music available today to
force pupils to practice onsome=
thing they don’t like.
What about the adult beginner?
He will need a lot of will power
to keep at it and not to get dis
couraged. His mind will work
faster and better thanhis fingers.
The pianist who began as a child
has had many years to develop
technique, but the adult begin
ner will thoroughly enjoy playing
simple tunes.
Ernest Bacon, a well=known
present day pianist - teacher,
says, ¢‘A player who has made a
late start, while he will always be
aware of his handicap in nothav=-

The old saying that it is ne

apply to piano lessons,
