< > . /L; Thursday, April 14, 1966 r-\ A newly clal for Oie partment has discovered ’ that probably human failure over shadows all other factors in pro ducing highway accidents. Assistant Commissioner for Highway Safety Ralph L. How land, a foi-mer industry safety director, said this week that en joy rent, efficiency and safety on the streets and highways depend upon the driver. “We know that a driver's in telligence, sense of responsibility and reaction under stress affect his performance. To these fac tors we must .also add the state of his physical health. A driver, like a car, performs much better when he is in first class condi tion." Howland warned all drivers that illness such as flu, infec tions, upset stomach, fever and allergies can reduce or even des troy one’s ability to drive safely. Alertness m a v be decrea.3ed, dearness of vision reduced, judg ment lessened and reaction time slowed. “Worry, headache, indigestion, a sore throat or an aching tooth c^n be so distracting that th^ can seriously affect driving is seriously;., vorried or in a state of health which might distract his mind Tom the h.nportant task at hand should drive. To drive in today’s heavy traffic you must be in top condition physically and mental ly,” he said. v. CLEAR VISION^ “The recommendation of eye loctorr for m eyp checkjp at least every two years is more than advertising," Ralph How land, newly appointed safety com- nissioner for the Department of Motor Vehicles, saidVhis week. Howland said the importance of g'ood seeing cannot be over c-mphasized when practically ev- -ary action a driver takes is bas ed upon what he sees. He went on to say that a per son’s vision changes constantly. "Some changes are temporary, caused by fatigue, excessive smoking, maybe even a cold or hay fever. But of greater import ance are the subtle changes that occur with the passage of time. Visual acuity, night vision and gl'>’"e re.'^very all deteriorate with age. Many eye disorders can develop which, if neglected, may prove serioifs,” Howland said. “Periodic examinations, like doc tors recommend, can detect these conditions in time for them to be corrected in most cases. And that means safer drivers.” Howland said that eye special ists had listed the follswing good vision factors and their l.rport- ance to safe driving as; 1. Visual Acuity — Best defin ed as “see-ability,” the basic a- bility to see and distinguish ob jects. 2. Form Field of Vision — The ■ability to see o jects out to the side while looking straight ahead. This is what enables the driver to see hazards off to one side. 3. Binocular Vision -- The a- bility of both eyes to work to gether as a team. The failure of the eyes to work together, 'lue ’o muscular deficiencies, results in undue eyestrain and distorted vision. Banett Rites Held Monday 4. Doptli Perception — The a- bility to judge the position of ob- ’ects in space, the relationship ind distance between them and 'heir relation to the viewer. It is mportant in judging following listance, safe passing space and 'learances when driving. 5. Color Perception — The a- bility to recognize and distin guish betw’een red, green and yellow. 6. Night Vision and Glare Re covery — The ability to see in dim light and to quickly -egain normal night vision after looking Funeral rites for Thomas L. Barrett, 89, of route 3, Cherry- ville, father of D. J. Barrett of Kln^ Mountain, were held at p.m. Monday from New Prospect Baptist church, interment follow- in gin the church cemetery. Mr. Barrett died at 12:55 Sun day morning in Cleveland Me morial hospital. Hthao ueen iously ill for about five weeks.

City Paint Store WINSTON - SALEM — What does bedroom furniture have to do with living longer? North Carolina’s sizeable fur niture industry — and thousandr of future Tar Heel heart attack victims — may have a special stake in the outcome of a heart researcher’s doctoring up a bed. "It’s a bedtime story called ‘Hope for Hearts’,” says Dr. Maxwell Little, Bowman Gray scientist who is chairman of the North Carolina Heart Associa tion’s Research Committee. Tomorrow’s heart attack vic tim may not only have his heart replaced but also his bed, if re-® search currently being carried on by an American Heart Associa tion investigator proves fruitful. Many scientists around the world are working to develop heart substitutes. Some are con cerned pr'irarily with the design of a suitable artificial organ — looking for the best shape and material. Others, like Dr. John C. Schuder, an electrical engineer at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, are engaged principally with the problem of developing a trustworthy power source for substitute hearts — whatever shape they may finally take. Dr. Schuder, under a five-year grant from the American Heart Association, envisions a radio- powered artificial heart, driven by two stationary coils—one bur 'er unde rthe chest wall, the oth er placed just above it outside the chest. A battery and other slectronic circuitry worn iby the patient would produce radio ener gy to drive the coils, which would then activate the heart. During the day. Dr. Schuder’s electronic gadgetry could be At this stage the experimenta bed” is a huge crate of wop lats, and its occupant a dog cai ying a bank of electric ligh iulbs s.rapped to i-.j l ack. li stead of activating an aitifici: leart, the coils around the dog experimental “bed” and those i ts chest feed power to the bulb; a^hich serveas a “dummy load. The exper'.I rental results thu 'ar give Dr. Schuder confidencv hat it is possible to transport ufftcient amounts of energy te ;ower the heart of a slumberini patient. C;r.ld constant exposure to ra iio waves at the required ener :y level damage body tissues? Dr. Schuder believer not. He • ted an e.xperiment in which one iog has been continuously expos 'd for 37 months to an electro nagnetic field at a power leve’ dequate to drive an artificia’ art in a human. No da.mage o' ly kind has boon observed st ar. Currently, with Heart Associ- ition support. Dr. Schuder is vorking'on problems of the in- ernal linkage l etween the inner coil and theartificial heart. The ■Miergy received by the coil inside he chest must be converted into .nechanical energy to activate the heart substitute. Several pos sible conversion systems are now being studied in order to deter- T.ine which will be the most suit able. Since the beginning of its heart research support programs, the American Heart Association and ts affiliates have allocated more than $110 million for research, in- luding about 2.7 million Heart -'und dollars to North Carolina scientists. Dr. Schuder, a newly-appoint ed Established Investigator of the American Heart Association, is the first electrical engineer ever to receive this five-year grant.
