Sheriff Advises
Law Knowledge

Safety experts and traffic court
judges agree that a good many
of our drivers are not familiar
with Ohio's traffic laws. Sheriff
Merlan Budd said that this belief
is based on actual performance on
our highways and questioning by
officers or the court of drivers ap-
pretended for violations.
Opinion is practically unani-
nous that in a majority of COLI
sions one or more drivers have
been in violation. The most COM
mon driving error is travelling at
speeds too great for the condi-
tions. Few motorists realize that
the law specifies that vehicles
shall be operated at such speeds
that will permit them to stop in
the assured clear distance ahead.
1t is not uncommon to see cars,
almost bumper to bumper, going
40 to 45 miles an hour-a speed
which under the best conditions
requires 115 feet to stop. A good
rule for one following a car is to
allow one car length for each 10
miles per hour.
Yellow lines which indicate "No
Passing" zones are rather gener-
ally ignored. The accident record
shows this practice is a danger
ous one. Improper passing, and
driving on wrong side of road, put
many cars on the scrap pile and
too many persons in the hospital.
Reports to the Ohio State Safe
ty Council indicate that on some
hills impatient motorists pass
trucks on the right hand side,
driving out on the shoulder of the
road in the process. Sheriff Budd
points out that this practice is
not just dangerous but is a speci-
fc violation of law.
Observation of railroad cross
ings gives evidence that morotists
are unaware of, or ignore, the re-
quirement to stop when fiashers,
mechanical signals or fagman
gives notice of the imminent ap-
proach of a train. Running thru
such signals is in the same class
as crashing" a red light, but far
more dangerous. Ohio's grade
crossing accident record is the
worst in the country, primarily
because drivers do not cross rail
road tracks with care and caution.
Drivers do not signal; they
yield right of way to emergency
vehicles slowly, if at all; and fail
to dim headlights as required.
Sheriff Budd is inclined to
think some of this is forgetful-
ness or unfamiliarity with the
laws requirements. He suggests
that every driver become acquaint-
ed with the Ohio Drivers Manual
published by the Department of
Highways. Copies can be obtain
ed at the sheriff's office.
Know the law and obey it.
You'll avoid accidents, trouble
and Inconvenience.

British Report New Drug
Cures Colds Overnight

LONDON-A new drug called CF9,
that may cure the common cold
overnight, has been developed by
British scientists.
The common, cold has long been
the worst enemy of modern times,
probably causing loss Of time
and money than any other minor
ailment. If the drug a cure a cold
overnight it will be one of the great
est discoveries in recent years.
The scientists said it may be used
in treating diseases in the virus
group, including influenza, measles,
scarlet fever, smallpox, and in
fantile paralysis.
Developed by the Endenhall elm
ical research center in London, the
drug has been used by six mem
bers of the research staff to cure
their colds.
It has been tested extensively by
veterinarians in treating neuro-
pathic virus in dogs. The disease
usually was 80 per cent fatal. Vet
erinarians using CF9 reported 80
per cent of the cases wer cured.
The center began work three
years ago. It's mission was to find
a new type treatment for lancer.
Out of the research emerged CF9.
