tires, steering, windshield wip-
ers.
7. Put a first aid kit and flash
light in the car. An enexpen-
sive red warning reflector may
be a lifesaver if you have trouble
along the road.
And here are the~seven safe
ty points to keep in mind on
the way:
l. Speed kills-take it easy.
Start a little earlier and don't
try to cover too great a distance
in day.
2. Long drives at constant
speed make you drowsy. Vary
your speed and stop occasional
ly to stretch your legs.
3. Be sure you understand
driving techniques in different
localities where you are going
such as in the mountains or on
superhighways.
4. Don't be impatient to make
time. It's unsafe, and it's not
restful driving. Watch your
passing.
5. Signs and signals are not
uniform in all states. Read
them carefully when in strange
territory.
6. Scenery can be taken in
small doses from a moving car,
but if you want to drink deeply
of natures beauty, pull off the
road and stop.
7. If you leave children alone
in the back seat, be sure the
doors are locked.
Finally, the seven safety point
ers that make for full enjoy
ment and accident-free pleasure
after you arrive are these:
l. Relax! Don't try to
crowd a years exercise into
two weeks.
2. Take the sun in easy dos
es. Don't nap in the sun. Wear
sunglasses.
3. Stay out of the water for
at least an hour after eating,
and swim in sight of others.
Be sure water is deep enough
and free of distractions before
diving. Don't try to swim too
far.
4. Distribute the load evenly
in small boats. Don't stand up.
If you fall out and the boat
stays on an even keel, climb
in over the stern. Most boats
won't sink, so stay with it un-
til help comes if it capsizes.
Check the weather before going
far on a large lake, river or bay.
5. Don't sample berries, touch
unfamiliar plants, or drink i'm
pure water.
6. Be sure of your footing
when climbing.
7. Stay away from h il G h
ground and single trees in a
lightning storm.

Roy D.Moore, a veteran coach
with IL years of service, has
been appointed head football

an assistant professor of health
and physical education.
His coaching career began at

ing at St. Augustine's that his
1854 team pulled a major upset
