From National Safety Council

Call them what you will -
turnpikes, expressways, free
ways, tollways, thruways = this
new kind of highway is criss-
crossing the nation.
More and more people a r e
turning into the curving ramps
as the new Interstate System
continues to grow.
These new superhighways are
different. Many old hazards
are gone. There are no eros
sings. Grades are gentle a n d
sight distance is almost unlimit-
ed. There are no pedestrians.
Opposing lanes are divided.
Turnpikes are so different
they demand a new set Of driv-
ing habits - many at complete
variance with those rules of
safety motorists have lived by
for years, says the National
Safety Council.
These roads are safer. B u t
they can't be used in tn e
same way as the traditional
highway - and the traditional
safety rules must be left behind
at the cloverleaf.
Time was - and still is on
the older roads - when the raj
lying cry was, "Hop in d
let's go" A service station was
seldom so far away that fuel,
oil or repairs could not be OBJ
tanned. But for the superhigh-

turned off after switching lanes.
The old rule of one car
length for each 10 miles an hour
of speed is not enough at the
high speeds of ~thruways. Double
it. If cars cut in front Of you
in heavy traffic, try to leave
yourself an out - a clear space
in the lanes to the right or left
- to dodge possible chain-reac-
ton crashes.
Some of the old rules, how
ever, are even more important

entry ramp. Be sure the cool
ing and lubricating systems can
take steady high speed driv-
ing. The fuel tank should be
full. More than half of turnpike
emergency calls are for gas, oil,
or water.
Know your exit and be ready
to leave when you get to it. Ii
the route is new to you, check
the map before starting out. Al
so note the exit before the one
you want, so you will have
plenty Of time to get ready.
On older roads it is neceS-
sary to slow or stop before en-
tering traffic. Not so on tn e
expressway. While in the entry
ramp and acceleration lane you
must match the speed Of traf-
fic and blend right in. Remem-
Der that this is a high-speed
stream. Vehicles that buck the
current by entering slowly force
other drivers to brake or change
lanes suddenly. This often re.
suits in accidents which can in
volve many cars.

Stop at rest areas about eve

On-ond-OH Summit

The on-again, off-again SUM-
nit" meeting to settle the con-
flict between the neighbors served
to underscore the above feeling.
After Emperor Halle Selassie of
Ethiopia earlier in the week failed
to bring the two sides together
after visits to Rabat and Algiers,
Algeria announced that a summit
conference would be held in Tunis
on Monday.
There was one thing, though.
Either the AlgerianS did not
check with the Moroccans or they
misunderstood the latter's reply.
At any rate, Morocco later said
that it would attend a summit
meeting only If it were preceded
by foreign ministers confer
ence. The Algerians promptly re-
piled that they would not accept
this Moroccan ultimatum."
Still later, Morocco announced
a summit meeting with Algeria to
be held in Mali on Tuesday. It
was doubtful one could get even
odds it would be held

comes sooner rather than later.
So. add 1t UP in your own way.
Either way, I would think that it
would be beneficial. Now as to
the viewpoint Of those who are
concerned about Government ex-
penditures. They want q tax cut
only If Government expenditures
are reduced. have the greatest
sympathy with that point Of view.
That is essentially what I am
talking about, when I am talking
about the withdrawal from the
private economy. Because reducing
Government expenditures leaves
more for the private economy and
likewise reduces the need for such
high tax rates.
So. If you tried to say which
Is more important, reduction Of
expenditures or tax cut, I would
have some difficulty. But I GER
tainly would put holding a tight
rein on expenditures, and hoping
for some reduction, on a par with
the tax cut from the standpoint OF

economy to retain enough Of its
