eve know that compulsory in
spection of motor vehicles from
a safety standpoint is already on
the increase, and while the full
effect of this type Of inspection
has not been reflected in the &C
cident record, we believe that it
will contribute considerably, in at
least psychological way, to the
cause of safety. 1t will also prob
ably have the effect of ruling a
number of cars off the road
which cannot be made mechanical
ly safe.

in the formation of recommended
practices in both the matter of
licensing the drivers and inspect
ion of automobiles.
"Third, with reference to the
highway, there is so much to be
said on this subject. We are
aware of the obsolescence of
many of the first so-called good
roads," we know that many of
our highways are too narrow and
too highly crowned; we know that
many of the curves are too sharp;
we know that many of our roads
are poorly or inadequately mark
ed with road-signs; we know that
many highways have poor surfac-
es; we know that many highways
are inadequate to carry the traf-
fic load which is today placed
upon them; we know that the ma
iority of accidents occur after
dark and upon rural highways,
, and yet a beginning has hardly
| been made in the matter of high
way Illumination; we know that
provision for pedestrian traffic
has been made on only a small
percentage of our highways; we
know that our present force of
highway police is insufficient to
patrol our highways and enforce
our present laws we know that
certain corners and road struc-
lures offer extraordinary haz-
! ards. 49,.
SCORES DIVERSION
f owe know all of these things,
and if we stop to consider for a
moment we should realize that
herein lie many of the causes of
highway accidents. And yet,
knowing these things, and being
in the midst of hue and cry for
reduced highway accidents, we
permit the diversion of millions
of dollars of automobile and gas
oline taxes, which by their very
nature should be spent on high
ways, 10 other and certainly no
more worthy or necessary activi-
ties. r." -!
"Since we are interested in
safety, let us urge that the diver
sion of our automobile taxes from
highway construction and MAIN
tenance be stopped, at least until
this menace has been removed.
Let those who, by the diversion
of these funds, have contributed
to the retention of our inadequate
highways consider their ebliga-
tons to this great problem of
safety.
Fourth, with reference to the
other fellow. The feeling that the
automobile driver is the aggres-
sor in all automobile accidents is
still too general. It is probably
safe to say that not more than
half of the accidents involving an
automobile and a pedestrian are
! solely the fault of the automobile
driver. Far more than half of
such accidents result from pedes-
ttrians crossing at other than

NEEDS SERVICE

"But even the best mechanical
device needs to be serviced, re-
paired, maintained. We have done
and are doing much to equip SER
vice stations with adequate tools
and machinery. We conduct many
schools earch year to educate me-
chanics and service station en-
ployes in proper methods Of SER
vicing and maintaining cars.
"Now, as to the performance
characteristics of automobiles, the
problem for all manufacturers
here is to make a product which
will fulfill the demands of his
customers. They want cars which
will acetate quackly, negotiate
the majority of hills without gear
shifting, and transport them at a
fairly rapid rate Of speed.
SPEED NOT ALONE
"There is room for reasonable
doubt as to whether speed per Sc
is the principal cause of automo-
bile accidents. In saying this we
mean that certain comments run
along the line, Automobiles are
being made to run too fast, they
shouldn't be capable of such high
Speeds" What should be the max
mum speed, 80, 80, 70, 60? Sup
pose the average maximum speed
capacity today is IS miles an
hour, and suppose it were cut
back to 60, how much reduction
in accidents would result? Some,
no doubt, but there is still room
for doubt that any major i'm
provement would result. In Ire
land, England, Wales, Scotland,
Belgium, Germany and Italy,
where the cars are much smaller
and lighter than ours and not
capable of top speeds as great as
ours, the rate of automobile
deaths per 100000 motor vehicl.
es runs from two to four times as
great as ours.
n Accidents seem to be more q
product of congestion, visibility
and other road conditions than
speed per Sc.

Inspection

louisville, KY, Oct. 90
The problem of safety in manu-
featuring and safety in the I'm
;sbod nroduct was the subject OF
the address of William 8. knud.
sem executive vice president OF
General Motors, in an address be
fore the annual congress OF the
National Safety Council, here.
Citing the modern plant mi
movements designed not only to
speed production and improve the
nroduct. Knudsen explained the
part played by modern machinery
in saving life and greatly decreas-
inc industrial accidents. Follow
ing are excerpts from Knudsen's
address:
"One of the safest places to
work" Knudsen said, "is the fac
tory. This is partly due to im-
proved machine and tool design,
but mostly due to education
among workmen and foremen.
CONVEYORS SAFE
"The conveyor has perhaps
been the greatest means for es-
order in plants and has
been the means of keeping work
off the floor, and in this way pre-
rented an untold number of acct
ients due to disorder. The early
,onyeyors were rather crude af-
fairs, and many accidents were
iue to parts dropping in the drive

conveyors today are of the pro-

night as a safety device. And for
additional safety as we'll as ODE
dience of the law, drivers should
have their lighting equipment
checked regularly.
Every child should receive
training along safety lines both
at home and in school," Chief
Powers continued. "The parents
and the teachers should set an
example for the child in an effort
to mold him along the correct
safety lines.
"Co-operation with the police
is all that we ask. And this re-
quest, if carried out, will be suf-
ficient to make Hendersonville a
safer place to live in"

PARK ON SHOULDER
WHEN NECESSARY TO -
STOP ON HIGHWAY

When a motorist finds it neces-
sa,v tn stop on a highway it is
wise to pull off the road and PARK
W. WIS., the shoulder, the National
Safetv Council says. Many acci-
dents are caused by carelessness
in this manner, records show.
=, Night stops are dangerous, too,
and It is up to the motorist to
prevent rear-end collisions with
approaching vehicles even if it is is
necessary to personally signal all
cars. It may be a matter OF life
or death to other drivers who may
not understand that the vehicle is
standing still.

opened tomorrow afternoon at L

An ideal skeet course has been

ing. For the opening there will be
exhibitions of fancy trap shooting
by expert marksmen who will
come here for the opening.
Skeet has advanced more rapid

form of shooting. 1t combines the
old style trap shooting with new
features and has become highly
popular. Plans will be made later
for a Hendersonville team to COM
pete with teams from other cities

In skeet the shots are made
from eight stations at clay pigeons
instead of from one position as IN
