Drowsiness Is Big Highway Killer

Approximately 1880 people
were killed and 5000 suffered
disabling injuries in the nation s
traffic last year because sleepy
drivers refused to leave the
road" said DR.. Mack l. Shan
holtz. State Health Commission
er and member Of the Governo'c
Highway Salty Committee.
DR.. Shanholtz explained that
statistics released by the Ma
tional Safety Council revealed
that 3.8 percent Of the drivers in
volved in fatal crashes were
known to have been unduly
fatigued or to have fallen asleep
at the wheel. There were 50, 200
deaths and 400, 900 disabling in
juries for the year. While he
conceded that it could not def
nitely be said that the percent
age OF affected drivers was
directly related to the number
OF deaths represented, he felt
that there was a strong indica-
ton of this.
ut is reasonable to believe
that the 3.8 percentage is con-
sentative" he said, "since it is
impossible to establish all the
facts in all cases and because
drinking drivers who might
have been droWsy due to their
conditions are not included"
He explained that certain
changes come with fatigue which
are related to muscular re-
Spouse to mental processes and
which cause delayed perception
and reaction as well as decrease
the ability to maintain normally
sustained effort and perform
ance. 1t has also been established
that advanced stages of fatigue
bring forgetfulness to the point
at which the driver will miss
important warnings and cues.
ALSO. anyone who has strug-
gled with fatigue behind the
Wheel he continued, "can re-
member that there was a
strong tendency to look ahead
only, neglecting side areas and
the rear-vieW mirror"
DR.. Shanholtz added that
driver who actually falls asleep
is most prone to suffer death
or serious injury, since he can
not brake or brace himself for
impact. Here, he advised that
courts have ruled that driver
who falls asleep is responsible
for damages he might cause,
since he has had warning in

tables-no travellers checks and
no American coinage, not even
the twenty-five cents to fill out
the shortage in our bill.
But Mr.. Holmes stopped his
taxi at our desperate behest, as
we were trying to get quickly to
the bus terminal, thinking in our
naivete that we could cash
check there and avoid, posi-
bly,. an inadvertent stay in the
Glasgow debtors prison shades
Of Dickens!p
When he heard the story Of our
plight, Mr.. Holmes = for the
honor of Glasgow - offered to
cash our check himself. When he
asked how much British money
we wanted for the 20-dollar
check, we said. in our grateful
confusion, about three pounds.
Not until we were back in the
chill atmosphere of the restaur-
ant did we remember that 20 dol
lars was worth more than SIX
pounds. But our mistake had
been honestly made, and we felt
sure Mr.. Holmes also had been
honestly in error so we paid
our pound Of flesh and went back
to the terminal. Here we were
to spend another three hours be-
fore leaving for PrestWick Air
port.
Twenty minutes before time to
go, through the smoke and noise
OF the terminal, Mr.. Holmes
came back to us. He had thought
our chedk was for ten dollars
ne was embarrassed that we
might think he had been dishon-
est-he had remembered our say
ing we were flying back to
America that night - he had
come looking for US to tell US he
couldn't cash the twenty-dollar
check, but didn't we want to
cash it ourselves for the full
amount?
We shook Mr.. Holmes hand.
and introduced ourselves. We
told him of the brusque infor-
nation about banks from the
Enquiries desk : and we
begged him to retain the check
along with our grateful appreci-
alton both for his kindness in
helping travellers in distress, and
for his painfully sincere honesty.
We did not learn Mr.. Holmes
first name. But between our
selves we call him "Galahad.

Mining Fresh Water
In view of the projected in
crease in population and greater
per capita use. the cost of fresh
water and soft drinks" will in
crease! To help with this prob
lem the first step might be for
cities to build a separate plant to
distribute only salt water. Thus
each house and industry would
have two water bills to pay. I'm
less there is a World War III,
homes and factories with sue
cessful driven wells will be in
demand, as will those bordering
nonpolluted rivers. steams, and
lakes. My reference to World
War III concerns the danger from
"fallout'' when using water from
streams. lakes. and uncovered
reservoirs.
Driven wells, moreover, are
wholly dependent upon electric
ity for pumping. Hence. as a
part Of any shelters" such as
the Civil Defense agencies are
recommending. there should be
included fully charged storage
batteries along with the food and
other needed supplies. Fresh
water may be shipped by tank

droWsineSS.
TIL emedical official listed the
following items Of advice:
/. Don't drive if there is any
fatigue or Likelihood that there
might be.
2. If droWiness comes, stop
Immediately and let someone
else drive. Should there be no
other driver. a walk in the fresh
air or a cup Of coffee will often
ease matters, but only if the
droWsiness arises from the
monotony of driving and not
from actual loss Of sleep.
3. If the condition persists, stop
at once and sleep. If possible,
drive into some lighted place. If
not, lock doors and windows,
light the dome light and turn
off the ignition as percaution
against carbon monoxide or air
conditioning gas. However in
convenient, this should be done.

scarcity of fresh water.
When Buying Home
When ! was a boy most homes
had brick cisterns in their eel
lars. These were kept filled by
the rain which fell upon the
roofs. People who could not af-
ford cisterns went to the town
pump" twice a day to fill their
pitchers and pals. Each COM
munity would have several OF
these town pumps" for the con-
venience Of the people. Sources
Of diphtheria, typhoid, and other
diseases were traced to these
public pumps. - leading to the in
stallation of city water systems
and later to municipal sewerage.
l have a granddaughter who
lives at st. Thomas. one of the
Virgin Islands. She has a els
tern, but there is no rain to fill
it. She drinks and uses water
shipped by boat from Puerto
Rico.
Therefore. I urge my readers
to consider the fresh water prob
lem when locating their home
Select state and city which has
a good supply of fresh water.
If possible. have a house which
borders an unpolluted running
stream or river. Such a location
today is worth a premium over
inland locations. Look ahead and
speculate on the information CIV
en- in this column. You can make
money thereirom when and II
you ever need to sell. II you
wish to speculate. buy some such
land - we'll drained - along
with life insurance and good
stocks. Man can always build
more houses and develop more
subdivisions: but only God can
make more natural fresh water.

GLASGOW = If you think St.
Andrew is to the Scots what St.
Patrick is to the Irish, you're
only partly correct.
St. Andrew is indeed the pa
iron saint of Scotland, but he
doesn't show up as a person in
the pages of Scottish history, as
st. Patrick does in the annals
Of Ireland This is reasonable
enough. since st. Andrew never
set foot on Scottish soil = or
even in the British Isles, for
that matter.
But the early Church gave the
name of the disciple Andrew to
a locale of great Importance in
the history of Scotland - cen
ter of church and university ac-
tivities as well as sports, with
one Of the finest golf links in the
world. Thus today you can find

Babson Discusses Value OF Fresh Water

BABSON PARK. MASS. Aug.
81 Most writer's are talking
about the population "explo-
sion" ahead of us; but no one ex-
plains how the greatly increased
population is to get enough fresh
water for drinking and irriga-
ton. Doctors tell me to drink one
glass of water each morning
while l am dressing. followed by
two more during the forenoon.
drink very little water after 4
i. pm. and never touch liquor or
highballs.
Salt Water Treatment
As three fifthS or more of
the world is covered by salt
water, it may be useless to try
to turn it into fresh water. We
may do far better to learn to
live off the vegetable products
of the ocean, as we do its fish,
etc. However, Congress has ap-
pr0priated money to build two
experimental plants for desalt-
ing ocean water. one on the
East Coast and one on the West
Coast. All chemists know this
can be done; but it is very ex-
pensive. The Ionics Inc. Com
paHy Of Cambridge. Mass, has
the best success herewith: but 1
hear they recommend only that
the "brackishness" be taken out
of an existing source of water
supply. I have recently visited
such plant. 1t is both practi-
cal and economical.
The plan which interests me
greatly is to bring fresh water
from Canada. Northwest Canada
has three large lakes that drain
the rainfall northward into the
Arctic Ocean - which is very
wasteful. Although it would be
very expensive, great canals
could be built for turning these
streams and reversing their flow

Even the Democrats didn't want
it they liked the old "easy

months of this one is over and
we find ourselves meeting each
problem as we come to it. Set
backs we had'em but the brains
of America we're there to handle

zeal OF talk about which team will win

the top to stay there until the end of

The answer seems to lie in team
