J I WHY COMMIT SLOW GENOCIDE?
Since 1937 nearly 20,000 persons have been kill
ed on our North Carolina streets and highways.
' ' v In two short decades we have decimated the
' population of a fair sized city with the automobile. Na
turally the question arises "Why?" Why does a suppos
, edly civilized society try to commit slow genocide?
That's the big question. Until it's answered this
state will continue to liqudate ts driving and walking
citizens at an alarming rate.
Certainly one of the reasons for the mass murder
on our streets and highways is the split morality so pre
valent among drivers today.
What is this split morality? It's the queer sense
of values that permits a person to live by one code when
he's outside his car and a completely different one as
soon as he slips behind the wheel.
People suffering from this mental malady usually
have extremely high standards for their business,, do
mestic, and general social behavior. But on the street or
highway, their one norm is "Can I get away with it?"
, This type of split thinking must go!
' It can go, and quickly, if every driver gets behind
the Governor's Traffic Safety Council, the Motor Vehic
. . les Department, local safety groups and does his part.
' t ' Every driver, of course, includes you and the writ
er. Hit and run drivers, drunk drivers, speeders, and
ticket fixers aren'tVhe only victims of split morality.
Anyone who sneaks through on the yellow light, jumps
' the gun at a traffic signal or commits any other so-called
minor infraction is infected with it to some extent.
1 So is the person who is careful to observe all the
t rules himself, but who won't give an inch to rectify an
other driver s or a pedestrian s unsafe action.
The person who drives by the moral code follows
all the rules and he also drive? defensively. He drives
in such a manner e to avoid accidents by anticipating

Prefers to Do His Own Worrying
and allowing for hazards created by the unsafe acts of
others and adverse weather and traffic conditions.
This is the only type of driver who can call him
self a safe driver. The fellow who isn't willing to bend
over backwards to protect himself and others isn't fit to
drive. He should be forbidden to use the roads by an
aroused public opinion.
But part of that aroused opinion is our own private
opinion. Before we train our private opinion on all
those other drivers, maybe we ought to focus it merci
lessly on our own traffic conduct.
Our own driving must measure up to the strictest
standards either that or we become part of the annual
traffic death toll that averages 1000 a year.

Because it's a natural fertilizer, and everybody knows a natural fer

Soda is a rare natural combination of nitrate nitrogen, sodium and

fertilizers, account for As remarkable efficiency, for its beneficial effect . '
upon soil fertility and the production of fine crops.
. The effectiveness of a nitrogen fertilizer for top-dressing and t
