N. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 14. 1S47 DEVELOPMENT OF PROPER ATTITUDE NECESSARY TO REDUCE TRAFFIC TOLL By Olio P. Mossiiev, Pienidont, Americun Association of :\Iotor Vehicle Admliilstiulors, ami Deputy Socvotary of Depavtnient of Revenuo. Pennsylvania. Moat safety experts will attree that the ultimate solution of the sate driver problem rests In the dovolop- opmont of the proper driver attitude. Those of us who are charged with lesponalhlllty of keeping an official eye, upon the traffic situation In our roapectivo states know that bad driv ing has boon at the bottom of nearly every accident we have recorded. Chance-taking speedsters, 'poor Judg ment at a curve, failure to outguess the other fellow in the desire to beat lilin to It, along with a hundred and one other little faults in the driver’s attitude, have been piling ur^ a na tional casualty record, which has made that of the terrible war just ended seem almost insignificant. .\11 of these faults Just mentioned could have been corrected by proper For Electrical Contracting General Repair ANYTHING ELECTRICAL —SEE—. Byrd Electrical Co. LilHngton, N. C. GMOURD training when the operator first be gan to learn how to drive a car. How ever, the success of that training, Mko the success of all training, would depend entirely upon the at- vilude of the person receiving it. All the training' in the world will not overcome the erratic actions of a born fool. Only, by the most severe punitive measures can he be handled and lestrained. The development of proper driver attitude is divided Into two separate phases: Coriecti.ng the faults of pre sent drivers and training future drivers. The first phase is that of endea voring to correct the driver attitude j of present-day drivers who have had ' little or no training and who may' have bad driving habits of long standing. Only by utilizing every channel and vehicle of propaganda; through the medium of the press, the radio, the motion picture, the 'spoken word; by organized local [ I .iainpaigns and intensive cooperation by all civic organizations and civic- minded individuals can the Indivldu- .1 at the wheel of the car today be I made safety conscious. The sanio 1 kind of patriotic appeal must be made to them as Is made in belialf of the Red Cross, Community' Chest, the Salvation Army and other worthy causes. In other words, civicI'consci- ousness must be .aroused before the individual^ driver can fully appreci ate and carry out, not only his re sponsibility to himself and his I'amlly, hut to the other fellow and the community at largo. That phase of the driver problem Is by far the ino.^t difficult because it must deal with a great number of people who today are driving motor vehicles with reckless disrepard for their own "Ives and those of their fellowman. It will require tremend ous effort and a heavy expenditure of funds if It is to be far-reaching enough to get the desired results.

Whoi'o thdre have been intensive oivic safely movements and intensive publicity, the traffic casualty list has gone down. Wo have had that ex- peilonco In Pennsylvania since last .'\ugust, when the Governor’s Safety Campaign was InaugU'rated. There ha.s been constant activity and organ ized effort In every section of our Commonwealth. Fatalities have de creased along with injuries and acci dents. In Pennsylvania, we have been so encouraged by the results, that we propose to add still greater Impetus to the campaign in the days ahead. Wo believe we aie giving it the leadership that any such cam paign must have. • The other phase of the driver at titude problems is safety education in the schools, There has been stead ily increasing Interest and consider able action In this field in recent months. Education is thp real solu tion of the driver attitude problem. To develop the proper driver and pedestrian attitude there must bo an intensive educational program in all of tlw) schools of the country, start ing at the very foundation with the kindergarten who^'o the child gains its first real iinpiessious of life and begins forming those habits which veiy often cling throughout a life time. 'riiese little ones are the poten tial drivers. If they learn to drive right, they will conserve human life rather than destroy it. Teach the young generation the meaning of traffic laws, the killing potentialities of the automobile, the rules of ,the road, the obligation of courtesy to otlio;s and the vital necessity of making sure at all times that the cars they are driving are mechanical ly perfect. It you teach them all that, ihon you will have come as close to having developed the proper driver attitude as It is humanly possible to do, We have u grave and dangerous problem in the niUlions of bad driv ers w'o must cope with today. Only by the most stringent measures of enforcement and education can we solve It. The problem of tomorrow— that of tho potential driver—can and will be solved by education. Altbougli the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this crea- (ioii of ait, is mightier than the ar tist.—Beethoven.

The casserole dish will help you in this score too. The less tender cuts of meat that are so readily available these days are Just right for the moist—heat type of cookery that the casserole provides. These ntility cuts may be low in cost, but when properly cooked are high In flavor. The meat, when combined with a variety of vegetables and a sauce, can bo served as a delicious meal out of one family dish. And, we’re not forgetting those left-overs than can be skillfully slipped Into the casserole to cut meal costs. Yes, its worth considering,, those miuiy virtues of the one-dish meal. It not only is a means of promoting oven cookery to those who wish to save, but it is an aid to inexperienc ed cooks who have big ideas but who just don’t know how to prepare a meai.
