Opening of Schools
Brings A Warning
To N.C. Car Drivers
The opening of schools throughout
the State drew this week from Ron
ald Hocutt, director of the Highway
Safety Division a reminder that pe
destrian fatalities among school-age
children have taken an upward
trend in North Carolina in the past
few years.
"As a matter of fact," the safety
director stated, the percentage of
pedestrian deaths in the school-age
group in this State is more than dou
ble the percentage of pedestrian fa
talities in all age groups."
During the 1937-38 school year, he
pointed out, a total of 91 school-age
children were killed on North Caro
lina streets and highways. Of these.
58 were pedestrians, that is, they
were walking to and from school,
playing in the street or roadway,
and running into the street. This
was approximately 64 per cent of
the total fatalities in that age group.
During the 1938-39 school term,
79 school-age children were killed,
nris was a 13 per cent reduction from
the 91 killed the previous school
year. But?67 of the 79 fatalities
were pedestrians, this representing
84 per cent of the total number.
During the 1939-40 school year. 56
of the 71 school-age children killed
in traffic accidents were pedestrians,
this being 80 per cent of the total.
"This high ratio of pedestrian fa
talities among school-age children
is most alarming," Safety Director
Hocutt said, "especially in view of
the fact that only about 35 per cent
of all traffic accident victims in the
State and nation are pedestrians.
"These figures speak for them
selves," he added, "in challenging
parents of all school-age children
to train their children not to play in
the street and not to run into the
sreet or road or attempt o cross with
out first looking both ways to be sure
the way is clear."
Lists Uncle Sam's
Strategic Materials
Manganese, rubber and tin are the
"Big Three" of Uncle Sam's strate
gic materials?so called because they
are vital to national defense, but
surrounded with difficult procure
ment problems. The U. S. faced near
disaster in 1918 because of lack of
manganese? the ore that puts the
"starch" in steel?and until recently
nearly all of our manganese has had
to be imported from such far-off
sources as BussiA. India, Africa and
Brazil. The Cuban-American Man
ganese corporation is expanding the
capacity of its plant near Santiago
from 100,000 tons to 130,000 tons an
nually, effective next January 1.
Langbourne M. Williams, Jr., pres
ident of Freeport Sulphur Company,
of which the manganese corporation
is a subsidiary, said that when de
velopment of the low-grade Cuban
ores was started, 10 years agy, it was
with the knowledge that a large,
nearby source of manganese was
thus being established as a bolster
<T of our national defense set-up.
They ha dto contend with a major
earthquake, a revolution, and three
floods before operations became
technically and economically suc
cessful, in 1937, so he said it was
"fratifying, after such a struggle,
that the company is able with its
own funds to increase its plant ca
pacity, at the request of the Defense
Advisory commission, to augment
the nation's defense resources."
