DRIVING FAST
AND STOPPING
Higher the Speed the More
Distance Is Required
To Stop
EMERGENCY REACTION

The faster you drive, the longer
it takes-to stop, that is!
Good drivers know that the high
er the speed the more distance re-
quired to stop, according to the
Delaware Safety Council. The ques-
tion today is: Do you know how
much distance is required to rec
ognize the need to stop, apply the
brakes and come to a full stop at
any given speed? And, more i'm
portant, do you always drive with
the full realization that you must
be able to stop in an emergency?
We'd all be safer drivers if we'd
remember three things: the driver
has to see and recognize the need
to stop before he can start stop
ping. After he does that, there's a
half second or more interval called
reaction time" before he is actual
ly doing the third thing, putting
on the brakes. All this time-until
the brakes finally stop the car-the
car is moving toward that thing
the driver doesn't want to hit!
Here are the figures on how long
it takes an average driver to see
an emergency, react, and stop an
average car:
At 20 miles an hours feet Tin
cluding % feet of reaction time).
At 30 miles an hour-80 feet (33
feet of reaction time).
At 40 miles an hour-128 feet
IA feet of reaction time).
At so miles an hour-186 feet
(55 feet of reaction time).
You see, says the Delaware Safe
ty Council, the faster you go the
longer it takes! And that's simply
because the car is moving faster
while you are seeing and reacting
to the need to stop, and the great
er the speed the longer it takes for
the brakes to counteract the ener-
gy Of that speed. Safe, experienced
drivers know that. All drivers
should remember it.

Last week, parents were calling
Moose Jackson on the phone-and
kids were hooting at him in the
streets. All because Moose fenced
in his field near the depot, where
the kids like to play ball.
Moose got sore the way folks

Sherman, who likes to play center

"use a little psychology"
Over a friendly glass of beer at

pastor of the church, at the first

Wednesday evening. Three areas of
life in which this forward look is
necessary were named: that of per-
sonal relationships, of community
life and of international interests.
The speaker said the confusion of
the present has grown out of lack
Of far-sighted planning in the past
and of a failure to understand COM
pletely the message of Christian
ity. "There are tools and technics
of a Christian order already at
hand, if the men who do the plan
ming today will but use them"
Citizenship" said Rev. Hochwald,
"is at a low point and the tragic
cleavages all through our business
and economic life must be healed.

Savings Now
Protected Up
To $4,000

The East Cleveland Savings &
Loan Co., announced today that
effective Immediately, federal in
surance coverage will be provided
on all savings accounts up to
$4,000. The previous maximum
coverage was $4,000.
Robert c. Knox, executive vice
president of the company, said
the increased coverage follows the
signing into law by the President
of legislation boosting insurance
| protection for associations with
savings accounts insured by the
Federal Savings and Loan Insur-
ance Corporation.
"Our association will bear all
the cost of protection for our
customers" said Mr.. Knox, "and
the new law affords us the oppor-
tunity of securing further safe
guard for the funds of our saw
ers."
He pointed out that the in
creased insurance coverage ap-
plies equally to all accounts held
by an individual, two persons with
right of survivorship, trusteeships,
partnerships and corporations.
Mr.. Knox said that last year his
institution paid $4,236.O0 to the
insurance corporation for this pro-
lection for savers. Across the
country as whole, nearly SILL
100000 was paid by savings asso-
Citations in premiums to the
FSLIC.
AS Of June 80, 1850, there were
insured savings associations all
over the country with total saw
ings to the public of S1O,7 4,000,-
600. This amount represents about
80 per cent of all savings held by
these institutions, both insured
and uninsured.
At present, approximately SO
per cent of all savings held by
insured institutions are included in
accounts under $4,000 and are al
ready covered. With the increased
coverage, this total will rise imme-
diately to SO per cent.
1t is expected that the number
of persons with savings accounts
over $4,000 will rise steadily as
the public becomes more and more
familiar with provisions of the
new law.
