A New Approach To Highway Safety

/ instructors should be specially trained
to do the job. For the way in which
driver is told what he has been
doing wrong can spell the difference.
between wasted time and accident
prevention.
Emphasis must also be placed on
educating and improving those who
have demonstrated driving weak
nesses in a concrete manner-the
motorists who have contributed to
accidents. New Jersey is one of the
states pioneering in this field; acct
dent prevention clinics have been
established for offenders. Included in
the program is a series of psychology
cal tests to find the reasons for their
difficulties.
If there it to be effective driver
education, there must be an incentive;
the motorist must be made to want
to be professional. Where is the
incentive to come from?
Part of the answer hes in realiza-
ton that drivers do have a desire to
learn and to improve. An example:
The study made for the Presidents
Committee included a number of
questions about navigating the new
superhighways'. The drivers tossed
the questions right back at the inter-
viewers. 81 don't know. But tell me;
| want to know. This latent desire
should be capitalized on.
PROCEDURES
ARE TOO CURSORY
The problem of incentive can be
traced directly to the attitudes of the
states themselves. as reflected in driv-
err licensing procedures. Becoming
licensed driver would appear to be
a small matter requiring little effort
something that requires
professional.
The ease with which license can
be obtained is exemplified by the
practice in New York State, where
The average road test lasts five to
six minutes. 1t takes place within an
area of few blocks, usually well
away from the heaviest traffic. About
all that is necessary to qualify is
the ability to make proper left or
right turn and to park without hitting
another car. The novices seldom need

YOU CAN BE THE
"OTHER FELLOW"

|
Columbia University studies have
shown that under certain conditions
no driver is immune from unsafe
behavior behind the wheel. A pro-
gram is being developed to lessen the
motorists basic egotism, to make him
aware that he can be the "other fell
low.
Perhaps the most fascinating study
is that being carried out by Harvard
University with an 100000 federal
grant. 1t is the first "grave-to-cradle"
investigation of automobile accidents.
The Grant driver and his psychology
cal makeup are explored in depth, all
the way back to infancy-when his
vehicle was tricycle. or kiddy car.
There is, however, no need to
wait for 1868. The evidence clearly
indicates the direction in which
safety programs must move. There
must be an improvement in driver
training and education and in IL
censing procedures; there must be
an Improvement in traffic laws and
in their enforcement.
Today drivers training is too often
limited to the high school level; and
even within that framework the bulk
of the time is spent in the classroom.
On-the-road experience is limited,
with the result that the young drivers
knows a lot of theory and very little
about the split-second decisions he
will have to make to stay alive.

DRIVERS NEED
REFRESHER COURSES

Business and professional men go
back to school for refresher courses
in their fields. Why shouldn't adult
motorists do the same thing? Is driv-
ing less important? How otherwise
will they keep abreast of changes in
laws or improve correct driving tech
niques that may have become slip

In all cases, in the high schools and
elsewhere, the appeal should be made
to the drivers pride, to his desire

A BILLION KILOWATTS WAITING
TO BE HARNESSED

During the conference we were re-
minded that the world has a hydro
electric power potential of one billion
kilowatts with Africa easily having
the greatest potential of about 275
million kilowatts followed closely by
Asia. These figures are all undoubted-
ly low because the latest estimates
for the u. S. S. R. alone are about
$50 million kilowatts.
Although many nations predomi-
nantly depend on fuel for generating
electricity, the world hydro potential
remains largely undeveloped. We
have not yet scratched the surface.
Individual sites of 20 to 25 million
kilowatts are known on the Congo,
Yangtze and possibly on the Gauges.
By comparison the latest Federal
Power Commission report of United
States hydro potential is 146 million
kilowatts. Large resources of power
also exist in Canada, particularly in
British Columbia.
The FPC estimate for the u. S. has
jumped 10 million kilowatts since the
last FPC report of 1857. These esti-
mates tend to grow as better studies

FROM DOUBLE LOSS TO
DOUBLE USE

FROM DOUBLE LOSS TO
DOUBLE USE
In the light of this undeveloped
hydro potential of 6A million kilo-
watts it is amazing to find Montana
today as one of the high unemploy-
ment states. The greatest and most
valuable export of Montana are the
youngsters who are educated here
at great expense but must go else
where to seek job opportunities. This
is literally giving away the life blood
of the state.
In broadcast terms the central
political, social and economic prob
lem of Montana is to convert the
double waste or loss of Montana's
natural resources and human re-
sources into double employment.
We need to build bridge of laws
and institutions between the peo-
pie and their God-given resources.
And this must not be a toll bridge.
1t must be a public bridge operat-
ing on a non-profit basis so that
the benefits stay here in Montana
communities.
Keeping this basic bridge between
people and natural resources in mind,
would like to discuss the problem
and then explore some solutions.
The problems are: first, lack of
hydro development in the face Of
great water power potential, second
high electric rates, third, inadequate
development of other natural re-
and fourth, lack of industrial
development and job opportunities.
ROLE OF LOW COST
POWER CRUCIAL
In this picture the role of an
abundant supply of low cost cleo
,ricity is central and crucial. 1t is

ost power is needed to move the
economy.
Senator Dick Neuberger often said
hat low cost power is the spigot of
he economy. When you turn it on,
he economy flourishes. When you
urn it off, the economy lags and
here is unemployment in the land.
Last July team of Senators in
pected the hydroelectric develop

bundance of low cost water power

By Dale Friemering

Unalakleet Valley Electric Co., operative, Inc, a non-profit corp. has been formed to obtain an REA loan for a electric power system for the Unalakleet area.
 Temporary power is being in stalled now and some permanent poles and lines are being erected so they can be incorporated into the permanent system this sum- mer. UVEC has plans to offer power to the government agencies in town and prospects look good for adding them as consumers.
 UyEC is headed by Frank Deg nan as president. Other members of the Board of Directors are Dale Friemering, vice president; Fran cis Katongnan, secretary; Sheldon Ryan, treasurer; Jim O'Sullivan, member; Phil Stainbrook, mem. Der; John Moore, member; other incorporators are Pete Three Star, Lowell Anagick, and Jack Kout- chalk.
 Through the cooperation and teamwork of the UvEC and sis ter REA Coop, Matanusla Elec- tric Assn, in Palmer, the people of Unalakleet, Gov. Egan, Sens. Bartlett and Gruening, the FAA, and many others we are able to furnish electric power for the vil- lage on a temporary basis be- ginning this winter. The power system will meet the basic code of REA and be a 24-hour service. For many persons who now have electric appliances, such as deep- freezers and washers and have been unable to use them due to lack of power, this power system will be a blessing.

The Price of Peace
By Arthur T. c. olsen


 tThs poem. s'Ths Price of psacs". was written by blind sourdoush friend from Yucsipa. CaHfJ. Ye pray for peace that war may cease, But this ye ask in vain; Ne man is free, mo peace can be While lust and sin remain. The Christian creed must first succeed In teaching man to love. To gladly serve and do the will Of HIM who twells above. Let free men fight with holy might That righteousness may reign; Meet fire with fire til he'll is spent And ruthless foes are slain When Selfshness and pride are crushed, And thoughts on Love are staid; When friendship warns the heart of man The price of peace is paid No tyrant hand can curse the land, Where love is understood; Gods ample grace shall bless the race That dwells in Brotherhood. Then fear and hate and strife shall end, As Love prepares the way The Golden Rule must De the tool, Which forms the perfect day.
