Turning Like Worms
Cincinnati Enquirer

After some instruction, plain experience, the average motorist to drive car reasonably well along straight line But it is remarkable how many never seem to learn how to execute turn properly.
 Traffic engineers will tell you that turning noyements are the great deayers of traffic That IS why the mo turn sign appears at many intersections where brisk traffic is necessary, and why multi ane thoroughfares usually have elaboratey marked lanes for left turns right turns and straght-through traffic
 It would simplify things greatly if the average motorst would learn now to make turn properly. The average motorist doesn't do too good a job of turning to the right and a worse job o1 turning to the left great many in fact are dangerous drVers when executing these maneuvers
 It seems almost needless to say that rigil. turns should be executed only from the right lane of traffic and left turns from the lei lane. Yet how many drivers do you see who habtually swing to the right as the first movement of left turn swing to the left when about to turn right? Altogether too many! There is no excuse this practice in the city where turns are not made at great speed If driver is roine too fast to make turn from the proper lane
 without swinging wide beforehand he is going too last to be safe This maneuver confuses traffic behind, and the accident record books are full Of instances where cncoming cars pulled alongside ton the blind sde) just in time to be struck by the unpredctabe driver.
 Left turns seem to frighten many drivers. They will stop and wait holding up traffic behind, if there is an oncoming car anywhere in sight. In crowded traffic if the first car in line for left turn will null into the middle of the intersection mot blocking oncon,ino traffic but in readiness to turn quickly) if will free the traffic behind These little points, but they are important to taffic time and safety.

made up his mind to appeal for more phones for the farms III ms State of the Union Message-that is. until some of the boys in the White House talked him out oi 1t. Now. without any push from the White House, a feY senators and conqressnlen are trying to work out a bill to increase telephone ser vice to farms.
 Tine blunt truth is that those in most urgent need of phones can't get them. Most farmers still have to hitch up a horse or wheel out the truck to get a message to their neighbcrs. In case of illness or disaster, they are cut off without any rapid means of communication
 Back in 1920, 38.7 per cent of American farms were linked with telephones. Then the depression hit, farmers couldn't pay their bills, and, by 1940, the percentage of rural telephones dropped to 25 per cent. This started picking up during the war until j. reached 3l.8 per cent in 1945, .i1e fast official count.
 Telephone companies now poas, that a record 45 per cent of Ameri- can farms have telephone service. This does not agree with the Agri- culture Departments estim e.
 which is 42.2 per cent for l949, or l just a shade over what it was 30 years ago. In actual numbers, the | agriculture Department estimates ] there are still less phones on farms i, than in 1920. The Department ex- l pects 2,473,000 farms will have tele- phones this year-25, ,493 less than
 ill 1920. The reason for the dif- | ference in percentage is that Amer
 ica has fewer farms now than 30 years ago.
 1 At best, rural telephone lines do
 double duty as fence wire For the
 most part, rural areas are served i by hundreds of small, poorly staff 1 ed. independent companies and CO., 1; operatives.
 Note-State by state, the percen- tage of farms having telephone ser 1 wee ranges from 3.7 per cent in Mississippi to 793 per cent in Iowa

While America is shooting through the air in jet planes and sitting on a nest of atomic bombs, many farmers few miles off the beaten track can't get so much as a goose-necked country telephone.
