Signals Important In Averting Mishaps Campaign to Educate Motorists to Use Sig nals When Driving J. T. Outlaw, executive vice presi dent of North Carolina Motor Car riers Association, Inc., Raleigh, says that, although our country’s need for _new roads is great, many of us are the fact that our accident Brate could be cut considerably if the driving knowledge and technique of ( the American motorist were improved. J “It will take years to build the high - i ways we need.” said Mr. Outlaw, “but while we’re waiting we should make | every effort to instill safe driving i ideas in the mind of every motorist.” Mr. Outlaw’s remarks came as part of his trucking NCMCA monthly cour tesy and safety campaign. The cam paign for February is to educate peo-! pie in the use of signals in their driv- j ing. “The use of turn signals and stop signals," continued Mr. Outlaw, “is practical on old roads and modem highways alike.” “They do much to eliminate traific jams and collisions by warning other motorists in the im mediate vicinity of an action which is about to take nlace. Kvery day hun dreds of traffic jams are created be cause inconsiderate motorists fail to signal their intention to turn or stop with the result that following traf fic is unable to swing around the ve hicle waiting to turn. Every day we read in the papers of four, five, and six car collisions caused by one ve hicle stooping abruptly and other ve hicles, following too closely, running into the rear of it. A signal of in tention to stop when given well in ad vance could, in most cases, eliminate these collisions.” Mr. Outlaw concluded his statement with the thought that “Courtesy is Contagious” and what one driver re ceives in courtesy is likely to be pass ed on by him thus making our roads safer and easier to drive on.

A beggar picked out a kindly-ap pearing gentleman and made a plea for a small sum of money.
