Speaking Of
PUBLIC SAFETY :,

10000 persons are duped to
death each year by the fallacy
that you are safer driving at night
simply because there is less traffic.
Actually, you need only a
glimpse of the traffic accident
picture to realize how fallacious
that reasoning really is.
Out of every hundred fatal ac-
cidents, 60 occur in the dark when
only % of every 100 vehicles are
operating. In addition to the
10000 lives, the night toll last
year was 100000 injured and 81
billion of economic loss.
1t is because of the greater
danger of fatality at night that
motorists are urged to observe
special safety precautions after
dark.
REDUCED SPEED: Driving at
night should always be at speeds
which permit stopping within
range of headlight vision.
ATCH FOR GNAL
CRASHERS: Never crash lights
nor stop signs and don't ever
move into an intersection until
you have looked in both directions
after the light has changed. Don't
assume that green light means
safety! Too many drivers like to
race through the red end of a
light change.
PROPER VEHICLE LIGHT
ING: Headlights should be ac-
curately focused, kept clean, and
rear lights properly operating.
Directional signal lights, both
front and rear, aid in signaling
but no driver at night should as
sumo the mere act of signaling
his intent will prevent an accident.
He should never intersect traffic
unless absolutely sure he has
ample time to avoid "close call".
DON'T DRIVE IF DROWSY:
Night driving requires keenness
of all faculties. Seconds save lives.
If you feel sleepy, don't drive.
Thousands of people are killed
because either they or the drivers
who hit them dozed for an instant.
AVOID ALCOHOL: Darkness
which dulls vision and alcohol
which slows mental and physical
reactions is a deadly combination
at night. If you must drink, for
humanity's sake don't drive.
Motorists are urged to observe
these precautions at night to COM
pensate for the inadequate WISH
bility which will continue to make
night driving dangerous until
street lighting is made adequate
in cities and towns and on critical
accident-prone areas of highways.

Colonial Aims
In Africa Told

WASHINGTON, D. c. Aug. 16
Differing British, French and
Belgian approaches to the prob
lens of their African colonies were
discussed at the contemporary
Africa" conference of Johns Hop
kins University's School of Ad-
vanced International Studies last
week.
These were some of the points
made at the meetings at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel:
Kofi A. Busia of the University
College of the Gold Coast declared
that the British colony of the Gold
Coast "and to a lesser degree" the
British colony at Nigeria have
reached the threshold of self-gov-
eminent without firm founda-
ton of local government"
Literacy is not over Is per
cent in either country, he said, but
both now have legislatures mod
eled on the British House of Com
mons. The Gold Coast government
is in the hands of an all~African
Cabinet and self-government is
mot far" away in Nigeria. Both
have numerous political parties.
Native political leaders in both
colonies are pressing for free
dom from economic exploitation,
ignorance. disease and want" and
for assertion of racial equality"
he said.
Kenneth Robinson of Nuffield
College, Oxford University, said
that the British examples and the
grant of independence to the for
mer Italian colony of Libya have
increased "the likelihood that more
specifically nationalist pressures
will develop in French Africa"
While the North African prob
lens of Morocco and Tunisia are
''by far the most dangerous which
confront the French Union" there
have been problems in French
tropical Africa as well. Here there
has been concentration on two
electoral rolls, one for Frenchmen
and one for Africans, and terri
torial assemblies have been given
only the most limited powers
"even in financial and budgetary
matters"
GUY Malengreau of the Univer-
sitv of Louvain said that economic

week in it's Love Song" Writ
ten by Kenneth Sellers and

Donald Richardson, it moved a
strange course across the face

be at one moment incredibly
dull and in the next tremen-

What writer's, director and the
cast headed by Lisa Kirk and
Oscar Homolka had undertaken

to achieve, it must be noted.
They were trying to distill a
potion of whimsy laced with both
comedy and charm. This is not
easy when the still is an elec-
tronic instrument with a strong
bent toward realism.
The story had to do with a
young man named PaSquale, who
had disrupted his Sicilian fish
ing village by locking himself
in his room to sing sad songs
for three days. The continuous
serenade became a considerable
irritant because only Pasquale
had 1.-The gift" and could lead
the village fishermen to large
schools of fish ahead of others.
This economic problem was
further complicated by the fact

I. The physical demands of the job must not
