Drivers Asked To
Hold Their Hoses
Cod. James R. Smith, comman
der of the State Highway Patrol
used that time honored admoni
tion this week to urge Tar Heel
motorists to keep a sensible rein
on their speed.
* ~
Col. Smith's peal for driver re
straint was a part of the Slow
Dow and Live campaign now un
derway in tthe state and nation.
"Undisciplined highway speed
played a big part in last year's
1,165 Tar Heel traffic deaths."
Col. Smith explained that the
high speed potential of the modern
car is thee rfor a purpose? to be
kept in reserve for specal needs,
such as passng.
.'There's never any excuse for a
drver to unleash this speed full
force," he said. "JThe whole trou
ble come when the driver uses
this extra power and speed at the
wrong time."
Col. Smith advised drivers to
cut their speed whenever weath
er, road conditions, or visibility
are poor and also when driving
through shopping districts or resi
dentials areas.
"And don't relax your control
when you're on the open road," he
warned. "High speed on long,
monotonous stretches of road often
tends to produce a somewhat by
pnotlc effect."
Hie colonel, who has himself
driven well over a million miles
without an accident, said that the
combination of monotony and
speed s a factor in many rear-end
collisions, and also figures prom
inetly in accidents in. which ve
hcles roll over or skid off the road.
"Control that urge to cut loose,"
Col. Smith said. "You'll live long
er and get there In good time."
The colonel gave these six
points as a guld eto drivers in de
ermining safe speeds:
.1 Drive at a speed that will
enable you to stop In the assured
clear distance ahead.
2. Slow down before you get to
ruves and intersections.
3. At night, drive at the speed
which will let you stop within
your headlight range.
4. Drive with traffic, you are
probably going too fast if you are
passing many cars ? to sloow if
many cars are passing you.
5. Where children are playing,
be able to stop In a car length or
ess.
6. When you're tired or inat
tentive ? stop.

ACCIDENT FACTS
RALEIGH? Breaking a traffic
law is one sure way to an acci
dent. But in a study by the State
Department of Motor Vehicles of
last year's fatal auto accidents,
it was learned that death some
times struck during a lawful ma
neuver. For example : Eight driv
ers were involved in fatal acci
dents when passing another vehic
le, 17 when avoiding another ve
hicle, 11 when avoiding a pedes-1
trian, 70 when their vehicles skid
ded, three when their cars were
struck by a driverless vehicle,
and nine when backing up.
Tips on Touring I
By Carol LombhJ I
Woman's Trove/ Authority
For carefree college coeds who
don't have to worry about exams
or football weekends until the
fall, I'd suggest a motoring vaca
tion as a happy way to spend the
sumpier months. A cross-country
trip is fun, and it can help in
almost any major you've selected.
it your spe
cial interest is
economics, soci
ology, political
science, or even
creative writ
ing, travel it
an ideal supple
ment. A little re
search or a con
sultation with your professor (or
father) should help to select the
states in which youH find the
most valuable material, places or
people for jrour project.
Don't let the trip become a
chore; enjoy- it. It's your vaca
tion. Meet people, observe places
and things, take some notes. Back
at college, yon '11 be amazed how
much you've learned. Because of
your travels, you'll be a more
complete person, and that, of
coarse, i* Ute true aim of edu

Sock a trip is inexpensive and
completely flexible; with a ear
you go where and when you

the country, Prt discovered that
average accommodations coat

McNabb Heads
June Dairy Month
Appointment of Truman Mc
Nabb aa Dairy Month Chairman
for Cherokee County has been an
nounced by Morris L. McGough of
Asheville, Western North Carolina
Chairman, and Mayor George A.
Covington of High Point, State
Chairman.
There are 36 Grade A dairies
in Cherokee County, which sell
their milk to Coble Dairy Co-op
and to Hall's Dairy.
"Dairying has passed the 100
million dollar mark as an indus
try for North Carolina families,"
states Mr. McNabb. '.This is rea
son enough for observing June
Dairy Month. But more important
is the fact that we need to drink
more milk in the county and state
for our health's sake.
Mr. McNabb states that per
capita consumption of milk by
North Carolinians increased by 9
quarts last year, reaching a new
high of 132 quart* per person, but
that we are atill far abort of drink
ing a a much milk as we should.
Mr. McNabb states that the real
purpose of the June Dairy Month
program is to acquaint the public
with the nutritional facts about
milk. He states that the American
homemaker spends 17 per cent
of her food budget for dairy pro
ducts, but this actually buys about
30 per cent of the family's nutri
tional needs. On a nutritional baa
is, this makes dairy products the
most economical source of vita
mins, minerals, protein and
energy-supplying foods.
According to Mr. McNabb, plans
will be worked out soon on the
various activities to be carried out
in the county.
Cline E. McClure of Hayesville
is Clay County chairman; and
Gwynn Denton of Rt. 2, Robbfha
ville, is the Graham June dairy
month head.
Healthy Lawn Smothers Weeds
Plenty of water just as grass begins to grow in the spring assures
deep, healthy root structure for lawn grass and gives it the vitality to
smother out weeds. At left, the soil under a healthy lawn is moist to a
depth of four to six inches. At right, soil is moist only near the surface,
causing a shallow root structure and sparse grass which can easily be
invaded by weeds. -
Grass will soon begin its spring growth in this area, so now's the
time to begin planning the annual war against weeds in the lawn.
One of the best ways to prevent unwanted weeds from establishing
themselves, or to get rid of weeds already established, is to smother
them with a thick, healthy stand of grass.
To do this, a leading manufacturer of lawn watering equipment,
makers of Green Spot products, suggests a liberal application of a
complete plant food, weli watered into the soil.
Secret of this method is that grass starts growing several weeks
earlier in the spring than weeds. If a lawn is well fed and well watered,
it will thicken and have the vigor necessary to smother out weeds
as they begin their growth.
After either feeding or re-seeding a lawn, adequate watering is
essential to success. Application of plant food must be followed with
moisture so that it may work down into the soil and so grass roots
may make best use of the food.
Good watering tools are necessary for efficient use of water.
Rotating and oscillating sprinklers throw an even pattern of water
over large areas at a usable rate, approximating the fall of a gentle
rain. Usually with just a hose and nozzle, not enough water to ipore
than wet the surface of a lawn can be applied.
A free booklet giving more details on proper lawn care is available
bv writing to the Green Spot Division, Scovill Manufacturing Co.,
Waterbury, Conn.
