EDUCATION STOPS
AUTO ACCIDENTS
BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIFN. NJ

Most automobile accidents vo,,,

tudes Of drivers could be chsn a'1,

Automobile accidents ra,r,.
from disregard for the right ~
way, from excessive speed tro0.
driving on the wrong side Of N
road, and from driving oono1sts
ly off the road. Most accidents M,
cur during daylight hours. ~
though night accidents usually ~.
more serious.
Only l per cent Of all accident,
are due to a faulty automotv.
mechanism, and just a rela,rs
few result from the condition ~

Drivers should be taught u

ments necessary to operate q ~,
Some persons suffer from fsil,r.
in muscular coordination, When
one driver in a regulated test b..
came excited. he invariably pit
his foot on the accelerator instead
of on the brake; another, who had
learned to operate a motor boat
tried TO turn the ear as he did his
boat.
Eyestrain from night drivins
and the absorption Of carbon mon.
oxide gas, may induce drowsinex
and cause accidents. Small ouan.
titles Of alcohol in susceptible
subjects decrease driving ability,
Unusual noises or rattles IN The
car, d~istracting conversation, Or,
ders from the back seat, bees, and
Wasps have all contributed 10 eob
lisions.
Safe drivers are able TO fudge
speed and distance and to react
quickly to emergencies. They give
signs and signals Of their inten,
tons. They use the rear-view mir
ror, and they slow down at blind
corners. They never try 10 pass
on 8 hill, and they drive slowly
when approaching a group q
children.
Young drivers sometimes hawt
tendency to show off, to race win
other drivers, to overload their
cars, and to take, chances. Under
certain traffic conditions it is i'm.
possible to get there in g hurry,
and good drivers accept conditions
as they find them.
Good drivers do not take Unfair
advantage Of others. Whenever
there is any doubt, they give way
to others. They use the horn SPAR
ingly, and practice good manners
at all times.
Pedestrians are often responsi.
BILE for m o b lie accidents.
Some states have laws that COM
pei persons walking on a pave
ment to walk against the traffic.
Shiny safety clothing has been de.
vised for night walking.
Many accidents result from
children's darling into the street
in front of cars. In training young
children who do this, behavior
specialists recommend hat they
be spanked at once In order 10
impress the safety lesson upon
them.

DR.. Waugh Traces
Social Evolution

At Wednesdays meeting OF the
ladies Literary Club DIT. Edgar
w. Waugh. associate professor Of
history, Michigan State Normal
College. discussing Cultural Fac
tors OF World Reconstruction,
traced the evolution Of the states
system" from ancient Rome TO the
present time. He pointed out that
there was less consciousness OF
differences among the various peo-
pies OF Europe, in the middle ages.
The Holy Roman Empire held peo-
pies together through their COM
mon loyalty TO the Emperor. There
was only one written language,
binding scholars together. They all
wrote in Latin regardless Of their
native language. The Christian re-
Iigion united men in one great
Faith. The Stole philosophy. which
accepts all men as equal, was prev
alent among the leaders OF that
time. Nearly all Of the great Jur'
lists were Stoics, and their deci-
sions reflected that belief, the
speaker pointed out.
In the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries scholars wrote less in
Latin and more in the vernacular
OF their own people. They wrote
more for the local market" each
presenting his own peoples In a
superior light. More books were
available 10 the people, and more
people could read their own Ian
guage. This brought about an
awareness Of national qualities and
marked the beginning OF national
ism, which had its climax in the
last war.
Something must happen quickly
10 break down these barriers, Dr..
Waugh said.
This country is in the most stra-
texic position TO act as a world
leader in recognizing the rights and
dignity OF all men. regardless OF
race, color or creed. But our influ-
enoe cannot be great until we have
achieved this ideal al home" he
concluded.

Costs Given

About SO people heard a discus.
sion OF the costs OF sewer and
water systems by Peter Brender.
Wayne engineer. at Wednesday
nights meeting OF the Willow Run
Community Association in Ross
School.
Mr.. Brender quoted statistics
from projects on which he had
worked and recommended that the
best method OF financing sewer and
water in suburban areas is a reve.
nue. bond issue. "At least 25 per
cent Of an area should be built up
in order to finance sewer and water
MAINS" Mr.. Brender stated.
Explaining that such systems
have to operate without income for
the first few years, he said that
the obstacles to overcome in such
projects are legal. engineering, I'm.
ancial, and political.
Mr.. Brender estimated that the
original cost to users in an area
similar to eastern Ypsllanu Town
ship would amount to about 5000
or $500 a year, with the cost de-
creasing steadily as the system be-
gan paying for itself and more
users we're added.
Otis A. Tooze, Ypsilanti Town
ship supervisor who was present at
the L.eeting. commended the VIII.
low Run Community Association
for approaching the problem in an
objective manner. 81 am glad 10
see that this group is examining
the possible cost OF sewer and wat
er mains" Mr.. Tooze told the
group. ut seems to be difficult for
some people to understand that
obtaining such a system involves
more than just asking for It,"
Percy Holloway. who introduced
Mr.. Brender. indicated that the
Community Association hoped to
integrate its proposals with the
aims of the Willow Run Area Plan
ming Committee. I'VE didn't organ
ize TO pick fight with local offlci-
ais" Mr.. Holloway declared. I'VE
want to work with them and help
