SAFETY MEETING
Monday morning safety meeting
was held in the auditorium OF the
Snow Hill High School. The instruc-
tor gave an impressive talk on High
way Safety. He talked of the driver
and the rules he must observe to be
a skillful driver. He pointed out that
the death rate, due to accidents, in
our state was high and that it was
up to each driver to do his individual
part in decreasing this high rate.
After the speech, the pupils went
out to the highway in front of the
school to observe some examples and
tests of highway safety. The in
structor showed the pupils how to
make a correct turn. Then three tests
were made to determine how much
space a car required to make COM
plete stop. The first two tests were
made by Dickie Leonard and Janet
Haddock at the speed of twenty miles
per hour. The third was made by
Mr.. George Corddry at the speed of
thirty miles per hour. The results
of all three tests were that the car
was stopped in shorter distance
than it takes the average driver.
We are proud of the good driving
shown by Dickie and Janet and hope
that everyone in the Snow Hill High
School may prove to be just as skill
full.
