"Things That Matter"
by Lucien Coleman
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN
TO ME?
After pondering the matteFfbr ?
some time now, I've come to the
conclusion that there is a my
sterious force operative in this
universe, the sole purpose of which
is to keep folks like you and me
humble.
How else can you explain the fact
that the car in front of you always
runs out of gas just after you switch
to the fast-moving lane in rush
hour traffic? And why does the girl
at the check-out put up that "THIS
LANE CLOSED" sign after you've
waited in line for 12 minutes?
And. speaking of check-outs,
why does the lady in front of you
always use one hand to empty her
bulging baskart, instead of laying
her cigarette down so she can use
both hands? And why does? she ?
always remember that she forgot
the dishwashing detergent after the
[ clerk has rung up everything else?
Have you ever noticed that the
information you need is always in
the bottom drawer of the card
catalog at the library, and that the
office copying machine always runs
out of paper after the ninth copy
when you need ten copies in a
hurry?
Red Cross
? is counting
on you.
Why does that early morning
rain always come after your news
paper carrier tosses your paper on
the front step, before you have time
to go out and pick it up? And why
does the city sanitation truck arrive
early to pick up garbage only when
you forgot to put out the cans the
night before?
And I'll bet you young parents
have often wondered why all three
kids suddenly develop an urgent
need to go to the restroom just as
the waitress delivers the food, hot
from the kitchen, after a 25 minute
wait.
Why will a button cling to a shirt
for months, then drop off on the
very morning you're late to work?
And why does your ballpoint pen
always run out of ink just as a
customer is ready to sign the
biggest deal you've made recently?
Why does it happen, when 1
switch from the long line to the
short one at the airport ticket
counter, the guy in front of me asks
the agent to rewrite tickets and
change all the baggage tags for six
senior citizens headed for Europe?
And what about the emergency
case that always come into your
family doctor's office just before it's
your turn to see him?
Actually, I had managed to put
these nagging questions out of
mind for a long while. But they all
came rushing to the surface the
other day when my glasses (without
which I'm as blind as a bat)
disintegrated right in the middle of
a public presentation.
Maybe I'm wrong about that
mysterious force. If you have 'fcny
alternative hypotheses, I'd appre
ciate your writing Tilings That
Matter, P.O. Bqx 6015, Louisville,

Deaths Forecast
For Holiday
The N.C. State Motor Club has
estimated that approximately 22
persons will die in North Carolina
traffic accidents over the Thanks
giving holiday weekend.
Official observance of the holi
day will be over a 102-hour period
that lasts from 6 p.m. Wednesday.
November 25, through midnight
Sunday, November 29.
Last year during a similar period
25 deaths occurred.
Speeding was a factor in 10 of
these deaths, DUl/alcohol was a
factor in seven, while carelessness
at the wheel resulted in the deaths
of the remaining eight. Drivers are
cautioned to help eliminate these
dreadful statistics this year.
"We hope our predictions will
remind motorists to stay alert,"
John G. Frazier, III, president of
the statewide motor club, said.
"Stay on your guard while driving.
don't relax until you reach your
destination. Driving is a full time
job and demands complete con
centration." Frazier pointed out.
If you want to be in control of
your own fate on the highway, slow
down. Fast driving removes control
from your hands, making it
humanly impossible to prevent
collisions.
Get belted in. .If everybody
fastened the belts that are in cars
today we would just about cut the
number of traffic fatalities in half.
The need for seat belts is not just on
long trips but all the time. Most
people injured in auto crashes are
within 30 miles of home.
Drunk driving continues to be
one of our most serious public
health and safety problems. Sta
tistics show that some 50 per cent of
all drivers killed have blood alcohol
levels in excess of the legal limit.
Don't drive and drink -? and help
others who have had too much to
drink so they, do not get behind the
wheel of a car.
Total fatalities reported to date
this year now stand at 1.257.
