J 5-tf MORE ABOUT Good Drivers . (Continued from Pace 1) the easterners generally. Then he declared, in effect, that the teen-agers are better drivers than their parents. "Middle-age people (those be tween 35 and 50 years of age) cause the most accidents. The teen agers are the most careful drivers I've found in the, fcounty." Haywood County's youngsters, he continued, are very careful, and tend to obey the traffic laws much more closely than their parents.': The corporal, who has served in both the eastern and western parts of the state in his seven years with the Patrol, addel, however, that he couldn't say the same for the teen agers of the east. Haywood County's boys and girls, he continued, appear to be much more careful, more sober in driving judgment, and more court' eous on the highways than their eastern cousins. In reference to the drunken driving record, the officer report' ed that the county's teen-agers al so have an excellent record: . "Only a very small fraction of the people arrested for driving un der the influencen of intoxicating liquor were teen-agers." The anonymous officer declared. mat tne women on the average are more careful and more considerate when they get behind the wheel than their men-folks are in Hay wood County anyway. And as far as drunken driving is concerned well, it couldn't be much better where, the women are concerned.

MORS AEQUT Accidents (Continued rroio Fare 1) Corporal Carpenter, who came here from Cumberland County last summer, termed Haywood's accident rate low in proportion to the volume of traffic. "Where a person is injured in a collision in this county," he said, "he would have" been killed in the same type of accident in the east ern part of the state. "They drive much faster down there," he explained. Figures from the State Depart ment of Motor Vehicles of serious accidents (Involving an Injury) indicate that Haywood s rate is apparently lower than that for other sections. They also .indicate that the 1949 record for fatalities and injuries for this county is better than that for the previous year. Up to October 1 there were 7,625 automobiles and trailers a- lone registered for Haywood Coun ty residents, and approximately half that number of trucks. This adds up to about 10,000've hides traveling the highways of the county. And this figure does not Include motor scooters, motor bikes and other miscellaneous gasoline-driven vehicles of this sort. ' ' The officer, however, credited the character of the average Hay wood County motorist with being a major factor In keeping the fat ality and Injury rate down'. "As a whole," he said, "Hay wood county motorists are more careful, more sober drivers than those of the eastern sections. "Of course, the much lower vol ume of traffic In this county com pared with that of the eastern counties does reduce the chances of accidents, and people are more inclined to take care in driving over mountain roads than over a straight, flat highway." "However, the Haywood County driver on the average is more care' ful, more considerate and gener ally does not drive if and when he has been drinking." Taking driver population Into consideration, he indicated that the rate of drunk-driving arrests and convictions In Haywood is con siderably lower than in the other sections of the state in which he has worked. Haywood County escaped a fatal accident for the first three months in 1949. The first victim was killed early in April, No one was killed in six of the months of the year. The summer months of June, July, and September were the worst, with five people losing their lives.; V.- .;y: v. The worst accident of the year occurred in the week before Christ mas when a boy was killed in a truck accident. During the first 48 days of the year, only three people were in jured. . But the Injury list jumped sharply ; early in March when six persons were hurt In a single "ac cident. The number of fatalities per month during 1949 was: January 0; February 0; March 0; April 1; May 0; June 2; July 1; Aug ust 0;' September 2; October 0; November 1; December l.v. i.;. ' Including Haywood County's 1949 death toll, 838 people were killed in accidents throughout the. state from January 1 through De cember 30, the 'State Motor Ve hicles Department reported this week. ' -. . ! ...',: . i. . : .'., ' . Through -the entire previous year, there were 730 fatalities. Five people lost their lives be tweii Decembr 27 and New year's Eve, while 111 others were injured in that same period after Christ mas. The state report also showed 9, 578 people injured in accidents from New Year's Day 1949 through December 30. The year before in the same period, 7,445 were injured. DELIVERED PRICE Plus $15.00 N. C.
