On this night the reigning ’84 queen of the ball, Jacqueline Faulkner, will pass on her crown. Each week The Pest will feature several of the young ladies vying for the crown.

Though we touch*only a small percentage of Black youth, it is our fervent hope that each of the young ladies will reach out And touch one other person.” Begins Laverne Clinton will be among the young higi school seniors participating in the Cotillion.

According to a National Safety Council spokesman, drivers need a "dear advantage” every time they slide behind the These words characterise basic traffic accident prevention issues as viewed by Richard Tipple, director of transportation safety, National Safety Council. As Tipple points out: bane One - AlcahiUc And Drag Abase: Studies show that alcohol is a factor in more than half of all traffic crashes. Yet the problem remains - individuals take chances and mis judge risks drastically when under the influence of alcohol and drugs. A dear head and sound thinking are absolute musts in traffic; and use of safety restraints is a dear defense against unpredictable actions of another driver who may be drunk. Issue Two - Poor Acceptance of Safety Restraints: Less than M per cent of all motorists actually use the safety restraints built into today> vehicles even though 90 percent believe they’re a good idea. Safe ty restraints when properly used can rediced serious traffic injuries by SO percent and fatalities by 60 to 70 percent - a clear advantage! . .Issue Three - Dangers of Winter Driving Conditions: Tippie’s duties at NSC include administration of the Council’s Committee on Winter Driving Hazards. Committee skid testing has developed clear informa tion to give drivers important ad vantages during winter driving con ditions. As summarized by Tippie, basic concepts include: - For stopping ability equal to dry Third in mriet pavement stops, speed on glare ice should be reduced to about sae third M those "tinder ideal condi tions. ' - If you can'stop your care in 190 feet on glare ice from 20 mph and you double your speed to 40 mph, your stopping distance stretches out to some 600 feet (braking distance varies as the square at the speed). - Temperature changes greatly affect the slipperiness of ice and packed snow. Temperature near freezing (32 degrees F.) on glare ice can result in braking distance as much as 260 feet (about 14 care lengths) from a speed of only 20 pmh - twice the distance at zero de grees! - r or pulling traction - improve ment ratings on glare ice are: snow tires -18 percent; studded snow tires * 218 percent; reinforced tire chains - 630 percent. On loosely packed snow comparable ratings are: snow tires - 51 percent; re inforced tire chains - 313 percent. — Radial tires, per se, are no substitute for snow tires. Their performance depends on tread con figuration - when a radial tire has a snow tread, it performs as a snow tire; when it has a regular highway tread, it performs as a regular highway tire. - When the other tires are ra diate, snow tires used on the drive wheels must be of the radial de sign also to avoid handling pro blems. - When special traction devices are used on rear drive wheels only, as is customary, the cornering capacity of the vehicle ia not terially improved. - A sub-compact car will atop in a shorter distance in a panic Mop on ice than a compact car, which in turn is likely to require a shorter distance than a standard car. - However, the lighter can have notable difficulty getting underway again, particularly at warmer ice temperatures. Tipple urged drivers to keep test information handy and benefit by the clear advantages summarized to cope with winter conditions “Remember, however;” be warned, “no matter what traction aids or techniques you use, ia no instance is the resulting perform ance even close to that on a dry or even a wet pavement!” Generous Offer Radiator Specialty Company of Charlotte has established a $25,000 scholarship fund at Johnson C. Smith University, as announced by CEO Herman Blumenthal. The fund will be used to help finance the higher education of Ra diator Specialty employees and-or their children. Funds are available to both active and retired employ ees and-or their children. Radiator Specialty will support the fund with additional contribu tions in future years. “We are grateful to Mr. Blumen thal’s generous offer ahd excited that a Charlotte business is placing its confidence and support in the institution with a program that stands to benefit both Johnson C. Smith and its employees," re marked school president Dr. Robert L. Albright.__ :- ^ V-“——-*— -— ■’ ' • - V~~ ‘
