Farmers to Get
Reserve Checks
Beginning Oct. |

The annual payments due Kent
County farmers who have Con-
servation Reserve contracts will
be made beginning Oct. l, ac-
cording to R. Harry Wilson,
chairman Of the Kent Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conser-
walton County Committee. Mr..
Wilson made the announcement
in response to numerous ques-
tions about the time when pay
ments would be made. Since the
growing season is generally over
by Oct. l, and compliance with
the Conservation Reserve con-
tracts has been checked, annual
payments are made after that
date. Checking farms is neces-
sary because the contracts call
for keeping the designated crop
land out of production during
the life of the contract. Desig-
mated land may not be grazed
or crop harvested from it.
Kent County farmers have LOG
Conservation Reserve contracts
in force covering 6,557.l acres
of cropland. The contracts are a
rental agreement with the gov
ernment to keep this land out of
market production in order to
reduce crop surplusses and to
preserve soil fertility.

First Offense
Signs Posted
Along Highways

The State Highway Depart
ment is having signs placed
along the highways, particularly
at the entrances to this state,
announcing that speeders will
lose their driving privilege for
30 days on first offense. While
the Driver Improvement Bureau
of the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment has been handing out sus-
pensions for excessive speeding,
a recent action of the Commits
sioners of the State Highway
Department provides a manda-
tory suspension of 80 days for
the offense when the speed ex-
ceeds the posted limit by 20
miles. The resolution governing
the matter, as adopted by the
Highway Department, sets forth
that the safe operation of motor
vehicles along the highways is
a prime consideration of the De-
partment and that trim g e n
measures are required to ensure
such safe operation of motor
vehicles. The resolution also
contains the following: Under
the provisions of section 2733,
Title 81, of the Delaware Code,
the Department may suspend
the license of any person with
out hearing and without receiv-
ing a record of conviction of
such person of crime whenever
the Department has reason to
believe that such person has
committed a serious violation of
the motor vehicle laws of this
state and excessive speed on the
highways of this state is con-
sidered a serious violation of
the motor vehicle laws of this
state. The State Highway De-
partment does endorse and re-
affirm the existing policy under
which licenses of persons con-
victed of operating motor ve-
hicles at speeds of, or in excess
of, 20 miles per hour above
posted limits shall be suspend
ed Immediately for a minimum
of thirty (30) consecutive days.

Motorists literally are driving
themselves to death.
Too often they're ignoring
traffic signs and signals, which
are designed for their protec-
tion," Jack c. Trimble, head of
the National Safety Councils
Signs of Life program, asserted
today.
Trimble emphasized that the
sole purpose of traffic signs,
signals, pavement markings and
other devices is to state the
law, to warn of hazards and to
give assistance and protection
to all street and highway users.
He cited these facts:
/. One out of 10 drivers in
a fatal traffic accident fails to
keep to the right of the center
line.
2. One out of 7 ignores stop
or warning signs, passes i'm
properly or does not have right
of way.
3. Three out of 10 drivers in
fatal traffic accidents exceed
speed limits or safe speeds.
Trimble said these and other
facts on auto accidents, includ-
ing those involving cars and
trains, are contained in the an
nual report on the Signs of Life
program by the Councils rail-
road-highway traffic safety COM
mittee.
Drivers" he asserted, CON
tinue to get killed or hurt be-
cause too often they disobey,
don't see, ignore or don't un-
derstand traffic signs, signals
and pavement markings"
He said the Signs of Life pro-
gram has been especially valu-
able in preventing highway-rail
crossing accidents.
Steady education by the pro-
gram, better crossing protec-
tion and improved enforcement
of traffic laws-that and CO.
operation from drivers, of course
have combined to pull down
the number of motor vehicle
train crashes" he said.
What are the causes of high
way-rail accidents?
Coming up to the crossing too
fast to stop, being too familiar
with a railroad crossing, speed
ing at night, starting up too
soon after a train has passed,
ignoring warning signs and sig
mails, and driving after drinking.
Trimble urged motorists to
learn the six basic traffic signs
to prevent traffic accidents of
all kinds:
/. Round yellow with black
"X' or "RR" means highway
railroad intersection ahead.

alton with the Motor Vehicle
Commissioner and the Superin-
tendent of State Police, is di-

may be determined to be appro-
pirate and necessary to inform

policy"

Share the Road
Head of Safety
Council Suggests

Teamwork is as important on
the highway as it is in the ball
park" ]. H. Tyler Mcconnell.
president of the Delaware Safe
ty Council, declared yesterday
in an appeal for safe driving
with emphasis on sharing the
road.
The appeal is part Of the
"Slow Down and Live" CAM
paign.
Driving in today's traffic is
not a one-man show" MIR. Nc
Connell said. Every driver
should realize that he must
share the road with all other
drivers and keep in step with
the traffic around him."
He said if drivers were con-
Stantly aware of this fact they
wouldn't pull such stunts as
changing lanes without warning,
bumper chasing, making sudden
stops, and making turns from
the wrong lane.
When you're driving courte-
ously, you're also protecting
yourself" Mr.. Mcconnell said.
"A driver rarely causes an ac-
cident without suffering some
! injury himself"
! He complimented traffic au-
thorities for their traffic law en-
forcement. He believes strict en-
forcement protects the street
and h G hway user from un-
sportsmanlike drivers, and it
serves as a penalty to habitual-
lily careful drivers if they slip
occasionally.
The Safety Council president
gave the following tips for
smooth, cooperative driving:
l. Keep alert. Develop defen-
sive driving tactics. Study the
road ahead for accident situa-
tions. The higher the speed, the
farther ahead your attention
must reach.
2. Think ahead. Plan emer-
gency measures. Know your
own and your cars capabilities.
If the car ahead should sudden
ly block your lane, could you
stop? Could you swerve to a.
void an accident?
8. Be a d aptable. Get the
"feeP' of changing traffic, road
and weather conditions. Adjust
your speed Immediately.
A. Pace yourself by the traf-
fic around you. This includes
noting traffic behind through
constant use of your rear-view
mirrors. Don't race. Don't lag.
Don't ride the bumper of the
car ahead.
5. Take only your share of
the road, in the proper place.
Keep in the proper lane. Pass
only when you see you have
ample time and space to avoid
cutting out and in too sharply.
Signal all turns and lane
changes.
6. Obey all traffic laws, signs,
signals and the dictates of COM

and others by hasty, foolishly
sudden moves.
