P "We Inspect public eating places * for the protection of the public; 81 we inspect elevators for the safety n oi the public, and a rigid inspec tion law for boilers, yet for 1,600,- n 000 potential instruments of death ^ on the highways and streets, this P state does not require an inspec- Cl tion," he cited. P "The major problem is still the ? individual. So many of us learn- . ed to drive by the trial and error ' method. Today we have profes sional instructors, and also offer v driving-training courses in many * schools, such as Waynesville. "Parents are too often the worse s instructors?too critical; and taus bandji are the?world's worse in _ trying to teach a wife to drive," the speaker .continued. Lt. Johnson told of the problems of the Highway Patrol in covering , 70,000 miles of roads with 556 men. He said the National Safety Coun cil recommended a man force of 1,500 for the job. The cost would be three times that of today. He said the patrol needed a few unmarked cars; a point system was needed for driving, and it was ' imperative to have safety records, j "Driving is an all-time job?for everyone. "And before becoming too criti cal, look at yourself and your driv ing. Also ask, 'Am I setting the right example in driving for my children, other children and other adults?'" *W? t ? 1 1 - J V. 1 A. i no speaser conciuaeu uy puuu- i ing out that he had been told there . had been 123.000.000 laws passed in an effort to enforce the Ten Commandments ? yet one rule 1 covers them all?the "Golden Rule" ?apply it to your driving. The records show that 65 per cent of all fatal accidents are one car accidents, and 35 per cent of . the fatal accidents are the first ^ record of accident for the driver. Zack L. Massey was called upon , and told a a highly satisfactory plan he had arranged with his son, | when he received his driver's lie- j ense. The insurance on the Mas- | sey vehicle went up $10 per month, which Mr. Massey had his son to pay, with the understanding, that at the end of a two-year accident free period, the entire amount would be refunded to the son. The plan worked, and the $240 was j refunded the son. Mr. Massey al- ; lows his son to use his service sta tion charge account with the under standing that it will not be abused. That too, has proven highly satis- 1 factory. "My conclusions, before 1 started the plan and since it has worked so fine, is that a parent should help his children as well as give them responsibilities." M. H. Bowles, district superin tendent of Waynesville schools, said.the reaction of the 1<500 stu dents to the address of Sgt. E. W. Jones on Tuesday morning was splendid. "All we need to do is to find a plan for changing the attitude of some teen-age drivers. The big thing is attitude. They need that feeling of responsibility, and we must teach them that handling a motor vehicle is ser ious. because it is a dangerous weapon. "There are two places where this teaching must be done?heme and the school, and that means 1 working together on a mutual pro gram." Supt. Bowles cited the active training-driving course which be- ! gan about a year ago, as a sponsor- i ed project of the Rotary and Lions : Clubs, with the Waynesville police providing a part-time man as in structor. ? Arnold Robinson, president of the W. N. C. Safety Council, pro- 1 posed a night class in traffic safety for violators, malting attendance ! compulsory and' the length of time dependent upon the degree of pun ; ishment as deemed necessary by ; 1 the court. No action was taken on the pro posal. Rev. Frank Leatherwood termed the meeting as one of the finest things that had ever been started in Haywood county. "We should do something, because it is a shame to keep on killing so many citizens. "I feci that there are many who are driving now who need more driver training. "I propbse that all of us pledge | ourselves to be better drivers and stop this slaughter on the streets and highways, and to get squarely ,behind this safety program." j J. W. Fowler, Jr., superintendent of Lake Junaluska, followed Mr. Leatherwood. and continued the proposal, which was voted upon un j animously. i Ned J.
