Friday The 13th,
No Lucky Day
Shallotte Boys And Girls
Both Defeated By The
Teams From Leland High
School In Southport Gym
Hopes of members of the Shallotte
basketball teams to use the
, Friday 13 jinx for their own advantage
received a rude shock
last week when both teams were
defeated in their games with Le
land high school girls and boys.
The Shallotte girls had lost
two previous games by a margin
of one point, and they had hopes
of scoring a victory over Leland.
Apparently, though, they didn't
know the right hocus pocus.
The line-up for the girls game
for Shallotte was: Emma Edwards,
Marie Bennett, Vertiler
Stanland, Gladys Mintz, Lina
Grey, Mamie Bennett, Kathleen
High and Mary Lou Hickman.
The Shallotte line-up for the
boys game was: Jerome Jenre
tte, Douglas Hawes, Ennis
Grissett, Ira Chad wick, John
White, John Hubert Holden and
Elwood Gore.

Foreword to 'We Drivers'
Nobody knows so well at we drivers, bow dependent a
machine can be upon the man who runs it. Certainly everything
has been done that could be done to make motor cars
operate as they should regardless ot the driver's skill. And
still, cars can't do a thing except under human direction.
1 Even the self-starter, for example, deserves its name only
in part. There must still be a foot to press the pedal or a
: finger to touch the button or turn a key. Poxpr and speed
in abundance era waiting in modern engines . . . but they
| await the command of a driver. Steering is a direct and
simple thing, but it still depends on a pair of hands on the
wheel.
And so, in a very true sense, the automobile that comes
to us from the factory is an unfinished mechanism. It still
lacks the most important part... the driver.
Manufacturers may build into their cars any number of
provisions for economical operation, comfort, ease of control,
fine performance, safety, dependability and long life;
yet all are subject in the long run to the intelligent use and
maintenance of drivers and owners.

????^ /mP Ji
No. 1?CURVES AND TURNS
kjo matter how expert we may be as drivers, we are all apt to fall Into
LN habits of driving that don't quite measure up to what we really know la
right
For Instance, we all know that we ought to be careful about passing
carp, especially when another car is approaching from the opposite direction.
?? y/.% -And yet there possibly isn't one of us
who hasn't, at one time or another, moved
i ~ /MM over the road to pass a car, and then
r /;: V== wondered if we would get around in time.
?'y&y , / ' 7r= Now here's an interesting thing about
'? = that. When we try to pass a car that's i
f?vh+Jfr/ - Koing forty miles an hour, it's just the
'yferhYArZ/y/ same as if we tried to pass a standing
sIKv / -J- string of cars 126 feet long. In other words,
iM/r it's like passing eight cars parked bumper- j
' '* * ? = to-bumper in the road. If we try to pass
/ >: ':<== ' one going sixty, it's like trying to pass a
' line of more than sixteen cars standing in
the road, and sixteen cars in a row will reach half a block. This is probably
a new idea to most of lis. If we kept it in mind, we would never pass a car
unless we were sure that there were no oncoming cars for a good long
distance ahead.
But turning aside to pass is not the particular kind of turning that we
are interested in discussing here. What we are now '
concerned with is taking curves and corners. From
time to time in these discussions we will find that J
the same old laws of Nature will be involved. Fore- *l WANT I
most among them will be the laws of momentum, and J? 60 {
momentum plays the major part in going around '5 A
curves. Because momentum not only wants to keep uoutUTII11
us going, but going in the same direction. When it is /.J** 1 wants
trying to make us go straight instead of curving our * ! us to
course, it operates under an assumed name, if you i qq
please. For then we call it "centrifugal force." i this
Now of course we all know what centrifugal force J wav
Is. We-feel it when we go around curves. Highways
and railroads are banked at curves to offset centrifu- V
gal force. Aviators bank their planes at turns by tipping
them with the controls. But even though we all know about centrifugal
force, few of us realize how powerful it is, and how much greater it gets the
faster we go.
A 3000-pound car making a turn of 500-foot radius, has to overcome a
centrifugal force of only about 150 pounds at 20 miles an hour. But at 30 miles
an hour, that force has grown to 360 pounds, and at
^ 60 it is nine times as great as at 20 .., over fourteen
hundred pounds trying its best to push us off the
= road! The only thing that keeps us on the road in the
J^vyc-,. . first place is the friction between our tires and the
road. The minute the centrifugal force gets stronger
jV--jvifj than the force of that friction, off the road we go.
The trouble is that we often don't realize how fast
we're going. On road trips, for instance, after we
/jSSS& /rf=? have driven at a certain speed for a long time, it
[- ! == seems a small matter to increase our speed a few
V:Vs miles an hour. Then after a while we may do the
y?? same thing again. In other words, we keep putting
forward our basis of comparison till by-and-by we
Nk have lost our usual sense of how fast we are going.
Then, the first thing we know, we are face-to-face
with a turn or even half way around it and we feel Old Man Centrifugal
Force trying to push us off the road.
So what do we do? We clamp down the brakes. It's the only thing we
an do when we find we're going too fast. But just the same, approaching
that corner too fast has kept us from taking it as we should have liked to.
For if conditions permit, it is often desirable to increase speed as we go
around a curve. As long as our rear wheels are not being retarded, but are
actually pushing us around the curve, our steering is effective and our car
Is under control.
? The long and short of it is that we can't take liberties with the laws of
momentum and centrifugal force. Man's speed laws may not always be
observed, but Nature's speed laws always are!
