Stop Before Passing
Parked Bus
(By Bessie Mae Lewis)
In the assembly program Monday
morning O. C. Johnson, principal
of Bolivia high school, gave
the pupils the following facts on
highway safety:
In the year of 1934, in North
Carolina, 986 people were killed
in automobile accidents; 34.0 percent
of the people were killed in
accidents caused by collision with
pedestrians; 71.9 per cent of the
accidents were caused by people
between the age of 15 and 64
> nn? out of every nine
persona killed is a child playing
or walking across the street.
The percentage of school children
fatalities is much higher
in the cities than in rural districts;
72.0 per cent of all the
accidents occur in the rural districts;
55.5 per cent of the accidents
in North Carolina happen
on the State Highways on the
straight roads and 74.4 per cent
of the accidents happen on dry
roads, 73.7 per cent of them happen
when the weather is clear.
Accidents are slightly more
frequent in the daylight than at
dusk and night. This is only natural
as there is so much more
driving in the daytime. But, hour
for hour, it is more dangerous
at night; 31.2 per cent of the
accidents happen at night, 45.8
per cent of them happen in the
daylight. The large majority ol
these accidents happen because
the pedestrians are confused by
traffic.
A very strange thing about
the accidents that happen are
that 95.2 per cent are caused by
male drivers between the age of
25 and 54.
Mr. Johnson gave the signals
for left turn, right turn and stop.
Left turn signal is the left hand
in horizontal position with fore
finger pointing in the direction
which you are going to turn;
signal for right turn is left hand
in vertical position on the outside.
The stop signal is left hand
in lower position toward the
ground with hand open.
There are 89.14 per cent of the
accidents caused when the vehicle
is in apparent good condition;
the major causes for accidents
are: Speeding, reckless
driving, driving while under the
influence of liquor, walking on
the roadway and children playing
on the street.
Mr. Johnson appointed school
patrolmen for the school buses.
The following were appointed:
William Farmer, No. 6; Dan Robbins,
No. 26; Thomas Henry, No.
27; Charles Robbins, No. 28; Leon
Henry, No. 31; James Thomas
Gilbert, No. 32 and John
Johnson, No. 33.
The duties of these patrolmen
are to report to the principa
any cars passing the school bus
es while loading or unloading
to assist in loading and unload
ing children, act as flagmen a
railroad crossings and to pro
mote general safety in any wa;
they can.
