State Highway Patrolman W. S.
Etherldge, on* of five patrolmen
stationed in Franklin COunty,
was the speaker, although he
was accompanied by Patrolman
James By-rd and4 Patrolman
E'. M. Roberts. x *
It seems, according to Patrol
man Etherldge, tffiit too manjT
drivers have an I-don't-care
attitude about highway safety-/
They often refuse to listen with
the idea t^a^ nothing can happen
to them 4nd that they can do
nothing about highway safety.
However, the driver does not
receive ill the blame. Laws
need Jo be updated. Better en
gineering of roads is needed.
Traffic courts need more or
ganization so as to allow more
time for .each trla^. Also, the
motorist-,* the patrolman, the
legislature? and the car manu
facturer must cr^atp arommon
understanding among each
other. Is the latter problem an
impossible one1 to solve or at
Jeast to discuss?
Every motorist should ask
hlmself-ih&sA. questions: Do \
pay any attention to news me
dia? What can I <10 to' improve
safety0 What are my own wOrst
faiflts while driving? WilJ I
premise to lmpr#vp my driving
habits so as -toiset an example
for my children and oth^r oc
cupants In my^ automobile?
Thus, a correct Rental atti
tude is the quickest ahd sur
est method in decreasing traf
fic deaths and Injuries.
Happiness adds up to dlffer
tnt things for different people.
A balanced life Includerwork,
recreation, medltatl fcnd
