APPEAL FOR oLD RECORDS

Persons who have preserved
copies of the old lifesaving records
from along the Dare Coast were
asked this week to contact ]. Fred
Roush of Manteo, historian with
the National Park Service. Mr..
Roush is collecting information on
the old life-saving service to be
used in planning an exhibit at a
proposed visitor center at Chica-
macomico, and he is particularly
interested in locating lifesaving
records dating back to the late
1905 and early 1905.
Mr.. Roush also pointed out that
if anyone possessing copies of the
lifesaving records wished to dis
pose of the old records the Park
Service would be willing to take
them and place them where they
would be safely preserved and
would be available to all future
researchers.

According to the American
Trucking Association, truck driv-
ers are trained to be most expert
drivers on the highway. Required
to pass rigid tests, they must
learn to handle their big vehicles
some of them 60 feet long
with maximum skill and safety.
They must adhere to rules
and regulations established to
safeguard both them and their
cargOes. For example, a long
distance trucker is not permit
ted to drive more than 10 hours
at one stretch. Then he must
rest at least eight hours. Good
advice to follow ON that next

Almost without exception,
truck drivers are directed never

all the traffic rules and trucking
regulations for each state in
which they drive. AS an illustra-
ton, they must carry the kind
and number of lights which each
state requires for night driving.
Most truck drivers take first
aid courses to prepare them to
help in emergencies. Their
trucks usually carry first aid
kits. fire extinguishers, wheel
chains and a supply of sand in
winter. (Items which all mo. !
florists should also carry.)
Many truck drivers have
stopped at the scene Of an acct
dent to render assistance and to
set out flares to slow oncoming
traffic.
Like the captain of a ship,
long-distance truckers keep a
"log-book." In this, they record
such items as driving time and
mileage, gasoline and oil used,
performance of the engine, and
replacement Of any parts. This
information is used for safety
checks" as protection against an
accident caused by an unsafe
vehicle.
For your protection, they
also make notes on any un-
usual conditions Of the road,
underpasses and bridges, which
they pass on to highway ana
thorities.
Most truck drivers ere looking
out for your welfare as well as
their own. So follow their driv-
ing practices-and arrive safely.
