Pedestrians Urged to Be
Careful During Even
ing Hours
Whether you were born under Tau
rus the Bull or Leo the Lion, you may
be a dead duck if you walk carelessly
between 5 and 8 p. m. during the fall
and winter months.
The National Safety Council said
that regardless of what the stars por
tend, its statistics cast a horoscope
of danger for pedestrians during the
evening hours ahead.
The safety 1 of pedestrians during
thi.; period will not depend as much
on the signs of Zodiac as on the sign
of the Green Light, the council be
lieves.
Figures Show Danger
Council figures show that almost
one-fourth of all pedestrian deaths in
street traffic occur during only one
sixteenth of the year—the hours be
tween 5 and 8 p. m. in October
through March.
The figures emphasize the import
ance of the fall campaigns in the
nation-wide “Operation Safety” pro
gram, which are devoted to pedestrian
safety and night traffic hazards.
The three "‘evening hours between
5 and 8 p. m. are the most dangerous
for pedestrians in fall and winter
months because the going-home rush
hour for millions of American work
ers comes during dusk or darkness.
Darkness Boosts Hazard
As daylight slowly gives way to
dusk and darkness during the home
going rush hour, millions of persons
fail to adjust their habits to the new
conditions of poorer visibility, the
Council said. Jay-walking and cross
ing against traffic lights become
doubly dangerous because pedestrians
do not realize they can see cars much
easier than drivers can see them.
Drivers contribute to the danger by
failure to slow down as visibility de
creases, according to the Council.
They continue to try to drive the
same distance in the same amount of
time, although darkness may make
that speed hazardous.
A.ces Stage Upset To
Beat Yellow Jackets
(Continued from Page One)
While the entire Eden ton team
played an inspired game, Earl Good
win, Paulette Lane and Earl Minshew
weie outstanding, while the punting
of Gene Taylor was very creditable.
First Quarter
The Aces kicked to start the game,
but the Yellow Jackets kicked after
only gaining six yards. The Aces
kicked after .he first play, and in
tw ■ plays the Yellow Jackets chalked
up the first first down of the game.
The Aces held and the Y’ellow Jackets
kicked in the end zone. After an ex
change of punts the Yellow Jackets
made another first down, but were
obliged to kick. With the ball on the
Aces’ 20-yard line, Goodwin clipped
off a heat 17-yard run for the Aces’
firs*, first-down.
Second Quarter
At the opening of the second quar
ter Goodwin was thrown for a 5-yard
loss and the Aces kicked. Neither
team could make much headway, so
after an exchange of punts, Taylor
made a beautiful punt with the ball
stopping on the Jackets’ 2-yard line.
The Yellow Jackets then kicked with
Edcnton getting the ball on the 26-
yard line, from where Goodwin made
a splendid run to cross the pay dirt
stripe. Taylor’s kick was good for
the extra point.
With time rapidly passing, the Yel
low Jackets resorted to passing and
in the closing seconds of the half
Pappendick passed to Ward in the
end zone. s The kick for the extra
point was good, so that the half ended
with a tie score, 7-7.
Third Quarter
The Yellow Jackets kicked to .start
the 'second half and after picking up
only two yards in two plays, the Aces
kicked. The Yellow Jackets had the
ball on their own 25-yard line. Fore
man made 8 yards and Gard picked up
a yard. The Yellow Jackets wgre
then penalized 15 yards. With the
Yehow Jacket punter behind his own
goai, he fumbled, and was downed by
Rogerson before he could recover the
ball and get away, the safety giving
the Aces two points. ,
Following this bad break, the Yel
low Jackets played their best game.
They chalked up five first downs and
near she end of the quarter Ward
chashed over for a touchdown from
the 3Vz yard line. The try for the
extra failed, putting the Yellow Jack
ets in the lead 13-9.
Fourth Quarter
Opening the final quarter, Goodwin
raced for 17 yards, but the Aces were
forced to kick. The Yellow Jackets
also were forced to kick and Lane in
a p.'ece of beautiful running, returned
the ball to' the Elizabeth City 8-yard
line. li* three plays the Aces netted
only three yards and on the fourth
down Goodwin passed to Lane. The
Yellow Jackets were charged with
interference, so that the Aces had the
ball on the 1-yard stripe* from where
Goodwin crashed through for the
winning touchdown. Taylor’s kick

that the score was 15-13 in favor of

“Mind Your Manners”
Is Theme of National
Safety Council
Driver, plus automobile, plus dis
courtesy equal death.
This is the formula for nearly ■
three-fourths of all highway traffic
deaths according to Jeff B. :
director of the Highway Safety Divis- i
ion of the North Carolina Department
of Motor Vehicles, who heads the De- 1
partment’s August campaign to foster
greater highway courtesy. i
“From all indications, the chief in- i
gredient in most highway accidents is i
that big, dangerous, proportion of dis- i
courtesy,” Wilson said. “These acci- 1
dents, stemming mainly from some- 1
one’s pig-headedness, contribute to
about 500 deaths annually in North i
Carolina” ;
The Department is cooperating dur- ]
ing August with the National Safety <
Council in this drive which has as its ,
slogan “Mind Your Motor Manners.”
“Discourtesy is so often interpreted ;
as a mere annoyance that the -public ;
seems to lose sight of its deadliness,” ,
Wilson said. “We tend to forgive—
or at least condone—the road hog, the ;
lane-weaver, the speeder, and the
cutter-in as long as no accident actu
ally results from his actions. We
snarl and gripe about it, but as soon
as the incident is over, we’re very
likely to be doing the same thing our
selves within a few minutes.”
This complacency and refusal to ac
cept the fact that we are not always
right when driving contributes to
more fatal accidents than all other
causes combined.
The Department classifies as dis
courtesies such acts as: excessive
speed, ignoring the right-of-way, driv
ing under the influence of alcohol,

Bulletin Discusses
Growing Os Pullets
“Good pullets to fill the laying
house should be the object of every
one raising chicks for layers,” two
extension specialists at State College
declare in a new bulletin which has
just been published.
The specialists are Thomas B. Mor
ris anti ,C. F. Pafrish, whose eight
page illustrated circular, entitled
“Grow Better Bullets,” is filled with
practical suggestions for poultrympn.
“Usually 100 little thought and care
are given to the young stock after
the breeding period,” Morris and Par
rish say. “A well planned chick rais
ing program is essential in growing
birds that will develop into profitable
layers.”
The authors discuss shelters, feed
ers, and waterers for use on the
range. They also take up such
points as grazing crops, shade, vac
cination for chicken pox, and housing
of the birds. «.
