ED ENNIS FUNERAL ——o Funeral servies for Ed-ward I,. Ennis, 43, who died yesterday at the Halifax County Sanitorium after a two year illness, were held at the residence on Madison St. at 4 o’clock this afternoon. Rev. S. J. Staines officiated and interment was in Roanoke Rap ids Cemetery. Mr. Ennis had been a resident of Roanoke Rapids for 18 years. Surviving are his wife and six sons: James of Oxford, N. ('., and Alvin, Luther, Clyde, Loyd and Eugene of Roanoke Rapids. -_i__ Digs Up Woman (From preceding page) such contract as that explained by Norman. There were several eye witnesses to the opening of the grave, in cluding George Barrow, w'ho, passing by, stopped to witness the event, later reporting it to Undertaker W. C. Williams. He named two other men w’ho were there, neither of them Abernethy. Just what the purpose of the grave-opening and examination was still remains a mystery. Whether an illegal act was per formed is also a mooted question, some saying, Yes, others, No. Our understanding is that a grave may be opened or a body moved only upon agreement by relatives of a deceased and with a permit from the County Health Officer. Otherwise, a court order to disinter is necessary. -o Alexander Cummings of Los Angeles, whose wedding was call ed off because he was too nervous to make the responses, was mar ried a week later. What ' a Flavor! GOOD STRAIGHT MARYLAND RYE I We Drivers A Series of Brief Discussions on Driving, Dedi cated to the Safety, Comfort and Pleasure of the Motoring Public. Prepared by General Motors No. 1—CURVES AND TURNS N'o matter how expert we may be as drivers, we are all apt to fall into habits of driving that don’t quite measure up to what we really know is right. For instance, we all know that we ought to be careful about passing cars, especially when another car is approaching from the opposite direction. /vr.a yet mere possmiy isn t one oi us who hasn’t, at one time or another, moved over in the road to pass a car. and then wondered if we would get around in time. Now here’s an Interesting thing about that. When we try to pass a car that's going forty miles an hour, it’s just the same as if we tried to pass a standing string of cars 126 feet long. In other words, it’s like passing eight cars parked bumper to-bumper in the road. If we try to pass one going sixty, it’s like trying t-o pass a line of more than sixteen cars standing in me roaa, ana sixteen cars m a row win reach half a block. This is probably a new idea to most of us. If we kept it in mind, we wou'd never pass a car unless we were sure that there wore no oncoming cais for a good long distance ahead. But turning aside to pass is not the particular kind of turning that -Ae are interested in discussing here. What we are now concerned with is taking curves and corners. From time to time in these discussions we will And that the same old laws of Nature will be involved. Fore most among them will be the laws of momentum, and momentum plays the major part in going around curves. Because momentum not only wants to keep us going, but going in the same direction. When it is trying to make us go straight instead of curving our course, it operates under an assumed name, if you please. For then we call it “centrifugal force.” Now of course we all know what centrifugal force is. We feel it when we go around curves. Highways and railroads are banked at curves to offset centrifu gal force. Aviators bank their planes at turns by tip WHEN | WE V/ANT } TO GO THIS i WAY / MOM E MTU/M WANTS US TO GO THIS | WAY I * ping xnem wixn me controls. But even though we all know about centrifugal force, few of us realize how powerful it is, and how much greater it gets the faster we go. A 3000-pound car making a turn of 500-foot radius, has to overcome a centrifugal force of only about 156 pounds at 20 miles an hour. But at 30 miles an hour, that force has grown to 360 pounds, and at 60 it is nine times as great as at 20 . . over fourteen' hundred pounds trying its best to push us off the road! The only thing that keeps us on the road in the first place is the friction between our tires and the road. The minute the centrifugal force gets stronger than the force of that friction, off the road we go. The trouble is that we often don’t realize how fast we’re going. On road trips, for instance, after we have driven at a certain speed for a long time, it seems a small matter to increase our speed a few miles an hour. Then after ap while we may do the same thing again. In other words, we”keep putting forward our basis of comparison till by-and-by we have lost our usual sense of how fast we are going. Then, the first thing we know, we are face-to-face wun a turn or even hall way around it and we feel Old Man Centrifugal Force trying to push us off the road. So what do we do? We clamp down the brakes. It’s the only thing wt can do when we find we’re going too fast. But just the same, approaching that corner too fast has kept us from taking it as we should have liked to For if conditions permit, it is often desirable to increase speed as we go around a curve. As long as our rear wheels are not being retarded, but are actually pushing us around the curve, our steering is effective and our ca> is under control. The long and short of it is that we can’t take liberties with the laws of momentum and centrifugal force. Man’s speed laws may not always be observed, but Nature’s speed laws always are!
