GREEN STAMPS WATCH FOR THE SIGN THAT SAYS We give GREEN STAMPS blamed the driving public, public officials, traffic administrator*, automotive manufacturers and petroleum processors for a four painted misunderstanding of the traffic problon which ‘'leads to daily highway disaster.” “First,” Mr. Blaisdell declared, “the nation is wrong in its belief in the infallibility of technology. It is not surprising that we, as a people, are certain that techn- i ology can solve all of our prob-; lems. We have built a way of life I on our mechanized ability end the : labor-saving efficiency of the ma chine. It’s easy to expect the same j application of science to rid us of | the menace of highway traffic, j because it relieves us of all per- | sonal responsibility. Our most pop ular answer to the problem is that it we built enough good roads ana enough good vehicles for those roads, our traffic woes would be over. So our technology has pro duced the ‘superhighway’ and the automotive industry has inaugura ted the ‘horsepower sweepstakes.’ I “But into this technological | paradise we inject the same old l human being with the same old I reactions, vision defects, emotion I al disturbances and intellectual capacity which were his when the first Macadam surface, two-wheel brakes and gas headlights repre sented the acre of our highway and automotive progress. We have built a superman complex into the modern driver, while God has yet to turn out a new model with a turbo-jet brain, corneatical-power ed eyesight or a superpergashiat ‘ng nervous system. Through our l own misunderstanding of our I human weaknesses, the tec'nnol I ogy which could give us better highways and traffic has b li't us :a booby trap.” Mr. Blaisdell listed ”ar. ated sert-e of fair play” as tin1 second element- of misunderstand ing leading to traffic trouble. "Many years ago,” he said, “we created a police power to main tain the peace and dignity of the state. Then we started to handi cap that police power with techni cal retters which tended .o give all the breaks to any alleged vio lator. No right thinging citizen of the United States could believe | in an uncurbed police power, but ] it’s ludicrous to complain about the traffic law violator while re fusing to give the police the ma chinery of enforcement! “All any driver needs to do to avoid entanglement with the law.” the traffic expert continued, "is to live by the rules. When the rules of good driving are violated, the culprit is already outside any known pattern of fair play. Why j must the police be greater perfet- j tionists in their assigned task of i public protection?” ' Mr. Blaisdell listed chemical, tests for driver intoxication, radar speed control devices and driver license revocation among strong enforcement tools against which the false s'ense of fair play has been leveled. He called upon the courts to accept evidence gather ed by the tests or by radar and to resort more frequently to license revocation as a means of violation control. Third element of traffic misun derstanding listed by the speaker was w\at he called “statistical stupefaction.” He pointed to con fusion which arises in the mind of the average person when he hears, on the one hand, that total numbers of persons killed or in jured on the highways are grow ing every year and, on the other hand, that the traffic death" date is getting lower. Mr. Blaisdell explained that the death rate is figured on the basis oi .the number of fatalities per 100,000,000 ear miles driven and the miileage is Jfigfcred on the basis of the number of gallons of gasoline being solti throughout the country. “From this rather tenuous equation we come up with a traffic death rate,’’ he said. “And that death rate is falling and has been falling for several rears. But the number of people killed on the righways has stead ily increased. So this piece of statistical pi estidigitation only confuses us. when the one true \ urdstick of highway safety is to..a! traffic casualties." Other statistical shortcomings, Mr. Blaisdell .said, lead to the false belief that a small percent age of the driving public causes the vast majority of accidents or that a “safe" speed limit can be left to the judgement of the in dividual driver. Mr. Blaisdell’s fourth factor, “the supreme egotism of the in dividual.'’ leads, he said, to the false belief that freedom to drive a car is a right instead of a state granted privilege, or that an acci dent can only happen to the other guv. ‘‘Hospital beds are filled with the victims and morgues piled high with t.he bodies of those whose highway egomania proved to be too thin a thread to sustain life. When the moment arrives that individuals accept the re sponsibility for their own perfor mance as highway users, safety on the roads will be a reality instead of an objective.” Gardner-Webb Plans $100,000 Memorial Endowment Drive Boiling Springs-Gardner Webb College plans to raise a $100,000 THE 6FST INSURANCE FIRE: Covering Store, Stocks, Dwellings, Furniture and Almost Anything.

SEE YOUR TAX COLLECTOR AT THE CITY HALL AND PAY YOUR 1954 TAX, PAUL CROCKER Town Tax Collector MRS. PEARL CAMP Asst. Tax Collector endowment u « memorial to use Rev. John W. Suttle. The plan waa approved by the college trustees in session Monday. The drive for the Suttle Memor ial Endowment will be officially launched in April. The Rev. Suttle will roach his 83rd birthday anni versary April 7, and Christian Education Day will be observed April 24. The goal is expected to be reached by that date. The edowment will be used to , | supplement work of the church and community development pro gram operated by Gardner-Webb. This department assists small and rural churches in improving their programs, and it also conducts the adult education program. This year close to 2,000 people still study in adult education schools operated by the department in associations throughout Piedmont North Carolina and upper South Carolina. Rev. Suttle, a native of Cleve-1 land county, retired last year af ! ter more than 65 years as an active Baptist preacher. His rec ord is one of the most remarkable ever attained among Southern Baptists. I From 1890 to 1954 the Little Preacher” as he is affectionately called, was pastor of 37 Bap tist Churches in North and South Carolina. He baptized over 10,000 people. Friends say he may have preached 30,000 sermons. For 28 years he was pastor of five to seven churches at all times I and was pastor of five churches on his 80th birth-day. He retired as pastor of his last two charges last years; Double Springs, after 37 years as pastor; and Beaver Dam after 20 years. He was bap tized at Beaver Dam 75 years ago. John Suttle’s fame as a preach er of the Gospel is more than loc al. In 1948 he was elected presi dent of the Baptist State Conven tion. He gave up that position af I ter one year because of illness. He was moderator of the Kings Mountain Baptist Association for 40 years, retiring from that post i in 1952. For many years he has been a staunch friend and devoted trustee of Gardner-Webb College. John William Suttle was bora Aoril 7, 1872, in Cleveland coun-i ty. He was one of seven children of Cha -les Beattie Suttle and Jane I Wray Suttle. He grew up on a j farm, and he swears the reason | he walks with a pronounced limp , is from ‘‘cradling” so much wheat j as a youth. As a young preacher in his first pastorate John Suttle met and married Miss Leila Pierson, daugh ter of a distinguished South Caro lina family. This was in 1893, and he was pastor of the First Bap tist Church in Blacksburg. S. C. The couple have three daughters and a son. After 62 years of mar riage. the little preacher still has a twinkle in his eye as he speaks fondly of his wife as “the boss.” Although he has officially re tired. Rev. Suttle still preaches every Sunday, and is booked for more than a year in advance. New Mettled Te Combat Cattte Gf ub Is Announced Veterinary scientists, searching for better ways to control cattle grubs, have come up with another new angle of attack, the Ameri can Foundation for Animal Health has announced. Research veterinarians of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have reported encouraging results with daily intake of phenothiazine during the months when heel flies deposit eggs on the legs of cattle. The drugs are absorbed into the animal’s blood stream so they can attack grubs before extensive damage is done. Treated cattle averaged some 80 par cent fewer grubs than un treated animals, and some were completely free of infestation. *,burTg„lfft theadultnyTA: ft* Alter h#«i Uy. *n»ey unioul from «L the hide hy the- _ _ living within battle eivurm months, they P«**tu*e &*1?
