DRINKING DRIVERS
CAN NOT JUDGE
TRAFFIC CONDITIONS

Twelve husky Detroit truck drivers,
the majority of them operators of
General Motors Trucks, joined with
scientists recently to demonstrate
that even the best of drivers can't
properly judge traffic conditions when
under the influence of alcohol.
The tests, made upon the American
Automobile Associations equipment
before and after the drivers had emp
tied a few cases of beer and enjoyed
several rounds of highballs, satisfied
scientists and local traffic experts that
even the most experienced drivers suf-
fer loss in efficiency of 81 per cent
when under the influence.
Nine of the trained drivers, all chos-
en- for outstanding safety records in
the operation of commercial vehicles,

years ago at Oxford, Md, as Mes
senger. In 1906 he went to Whining
ton, Del, as a Train Dispatcher; four
years later he was made Chief Train
Dispatcher. Later he served as Train
Master of the Division and held this
rating until 1880 when he was trans
ferred to Cape Charles at his present
rating. This change in rating was
necessitated by a throat operation
which Mr.. Shortall underwent in 1928
for the removal of the larynx and vo-
cal cords. He speaks by use of the
Bell artificial larynx.
Mr., Shortall possesses a wealth Of
knowledge on train and traffic move
ment over the entire system between
this point and Philadelphia together
with the physical characteristics of
the area which made him a valuable
employee, one whose services will be
hard to replace.

of the tests. The other three, cold
sober, were the only ones showing a
satisfactory record at the conclusion
of the experiment.
Under the direction of Prof. A. R.
Lauer, of the Iowa State College psy-
chology department, the GMC truck
operators took their 1st tests at noon.
A "driveometer" indicated the driv-
ers' powers of observation and ability
to manipulate. A second device test
ed the reaction time on brakes, accele-
rator and horn in answer to given
stimuli. Other equipment tested mus
cular control and judgment of dis
lance; final test showed the amount
of alcohol in the subjects system.
Following the first tests, the human
guinea pigs" were allowed to drink
carrying amounts of alcohol. Final
experiments, to demonstrate loss of
efficiency due to the drinking, were
made early in the evening. The re-

Most obvious failure of the drivers
who imbibed was in the judgment of
distance, which dropped from 20 per
cent to 80 per cent, and showed for the
nine drinkers an average slump of 45
per cent. Loss of efficiency in reac-
ton time ranged from 10 to 80 per
cent; the drop in observation powers
ran t 80 per cent; the efficiency curve
in mechanical manipulation lowered
from 10 to 20 per cent; and the alert
ness of the drivers dropped an aver

Bill formerly attended school in
Tampa, Florida where he gained many

cannot tell you much of his former
glories. Since he has been in P. H.
S. however, he has become highly es-
teemed by the pupils and the teachers.
He is not only an honor student who
cooperates with any project that the
school might attempt, but his var
ious talents have been greatly noticed
and appreciated by the student body.
Bill can play guitar to perfection,
Watch out, girls!) and among his
hobbies are radio, football, hunting,

It is rumored about that Bill has in
his possession the alligator that Mr.

SENIOR CLASS NEWS

On Monday last, December 18th, the
Seniors received an order of three
dozen school emblems which were to
be sold for the purpose of adding
money to the class treasury.
The emblems bear the school seal
the Indian head, and the name of
our high school in Royal blue against
a background of gold, and can be worn
on sweaters, jackets, basketball uni
forms, and the like.
Since the emblems were sold so
quickly and three dozen do not seem
to be sufficient, another order will be
sent for more, soon.
Anyone wishing to buy an emblem
from the second order please see Bet
ty Walters.
A few days after the emblems ar
rived the first order of class pins
came. The pins are identical to those
of last year-the Indian head with
the numeral guard attachment. Every
one was pleased to receive his pin
before the Christmas holidays.

CHRISTMAS STARS

When we thinks Of Christmas, no
other story more employs our imagl-
nation than the brief bit about how,
for the occasion, Star arose in the
East and went before the Wise Men.
They might have had other guidance.
They might never have looked up to
find their Star. They might not have
followed it under the night sky and
over the rough roads. They had to
leave their work. They had to go ad-
venturing with a courage backed only
ny hope and faith. Even then, having
Numbered and arrived at the wrong
place, they might have given up and
gone back to where they started. But
they had endurance to keep on; and,
when finally they reached their desti-
nation, they gave their finest treas
ures as gifts, and before Life be-
ginning their hearts were laid in ador-
alton.
We know little about the Wise Men
but they evidently watched the stars
and knew their pieces. When the
new Star arose, it meant something to
them and as it went before, they fol-
lowed. We do not know what their
lives were afterwards; yet no one
ever questions their triumph and full
fillment.
All over our nation this Christmas
there will be stars on evergreen trees
made beautiful with colored lights, in
windows whose lifted shades let home
hospitality shine forth for all the
world to see; and stars swing high
over streets where Fastening feet car
ry hearts happy with giving; while
above, where for untold ages they
have kept their courses, the stars of
the universe will be strung across our
sky. For always stars must go be-
fore the day.
But as surely as the stars of night
go before the sun of the morning,
days and weeks and months succeed
each other and lead us, if we but fol-
low, to other beginnings, to new oppor
tunities to give and love and have our
lives TRANSPORTED by unselfish SER
vice.
For there are still the stars of
Hope and Faith and Courage, of Pre-
paration and of Patience.
So now we say "Merry Christmas"
because we still have hope-and faith
and trust. Hope that the prosper
ity and happiness that have been
our will be ours again. Faith in
the ability of our people to bring
these things to pass. Trust in the
Be- oeficence of One who can SURELY
find no pleasure in the suffering of
men AMI women and children-espec-
tally the children, who bear no blame
for any mistake that the world has
made, who can only suffer and wonder
why they should be hungry and cold
when the stores are full of food and
nice warm things to wear.
And so in all sincerity we say.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

~~ HERE is little or no question but
that everyone realizes that the OIL
n industry today faces the period OF
greatest opportunity.
Everyone knows that the oil industry
has led the revival In business that it
Get a new "hiRh" during 1885. Every
one knows that the oil industry will in
1887 exceed the peak mark on AS@O.
Tho industry is more nearly staOallzed
than ever before, with state and federh
agencies working to make the oil industry
profitable for those who have rnSKeu
their money I'm the essential business on
supplying the motorists of the nataOM
with motor fuel and lubricants.
Everyone knows that the growing de-
mand for oil viii be followed by higher
prices The price of crude is advancing
everywhere and the price of refined pro-
ducts has advanced also, ahead OF the
principal season.
One Of the most sanguine persons ON
this subject is Secretary Ickes OF the
Department of the Interior The Secre-
tary gave a warning that the United
states may face an oil shortage unless
conservation action is taken.
With the United States using up it's
present oil reserve faster than any
nation in the world there will be a
shortage of oil here long before there is
one in other countries, unless action rs
taken to conserve this natural resource
he predicted. This warrants the adoption
of a permanent oil conservation policy
If we do not want to be dependent LATER
on costly substitutes or foreign oil, lckes
declared.
Secretary Ickes feels that the prob
lem of sterilization has been largely
eliminated by the increase in demand nOr
petroleum products, necessitat1ng 50
DER cent increase in production of crude
since 1884 and the elimination of contra
band crude oil, but the need for cOnser-
walton has been further emphasized by
these developments. Statistics were pre-
scented to the committee to show that en-
fOrcement of conservation laws had not
brought any material increases IN the
price of gasoline.
This is the secretary's statement to
the President:
'If we are to conserve our oil supply

sible degree, the needs Of the nation we

must do it while there is oil to COM
serve. / suggest, therefore, that the Com
eress and the Executive branch might
well address themselves to the question
as to how, I'm addition to the permanent
enactment of the COnnally Act, the Fed
eraI Government might aid the oil pro-
ducing states to husband the oil reserves
of the United States.
mot very long ago the daily
average crude oil production in the
United States was about 100000
brls. Today it is about 3,250,OOO
brls.. an increase of 80 per cent.
The increased demand and mount
ing production have emphasized
further, to my mind at least. the
need for conservation.
If there is to be shortage of any
commodity so important as gasoline, is
it not good business to get into that
business NOW-ahead of the day when
