THE ROANOKE-CHOWAN TIMES. THURSDAY. APRIL 29, 1926 DRUNKBN DRIVERS Automobile travel, especially on Sunday, has become such a hazard, due to drunken drivers, that the average sane person fears to use the highways. Con ditions are rapidly reaching the state where the majority of car owners, supporters and payers for the highways, are being forced to discontinue the use of them at times. Drunk or reckless drivers, in many cases having no responsi bility or assets, clear the road as they go. That they kill ant maim apparently makes no dif ference. Once at the wheel of an automobile, they assume su preme dictatorship of the high way. You, sober and with your fam ily out for a Sunday ride, have no business on a highway. If you should by chance get on one of the roads that you have helpec pay for, you do so at your own responsibility. ifour car may have cost a thousand dollars or more, but the worn out, $50 tin can has the road. When you see it coming, take to the woods. He may or may not get you. The chances are against you, though, as several cases have been re ported of drunken negroes driv ing entirely off the road in order to hit another car. Public sentiment will stand for a lot. But some times even worms turn. Sentiment against drunken drivers is getting pro nounced. Rough treatment has been suggested. Courts, it is claimed, have been too lenient. No doubt there is a remedv. Some day it will be found. The State police plan, as worked in many states, has proven of great value in this respect. Uniform ed, motorcycle police, under State supervision, with no local attach ments, and with authority to act definitely, will do much to clear the highways of this hazard.- The Sampson Independent. borrowed for short periods or may be purchased at the labora tory charge. A complete list of the Department’s films, with in formation on the method of dis tributing them, is given in Mis cellaneous Circular 27, which may be obtained on application to the Department at Washing ton, D, C. “DYNAMITE-CONCENTRATED POWER” The business of blasting of stumps, breaking up large bould ers, blowing out drainlands un der the plow through the medium of explosives is pictured in a new United States Department of Agriculture educational film. “Dynamite—Concentrated Pow er.” The film is a contribution from the Bureau of Public Roads. It is designed to show farmers safe methods of using dynamite, and contains many details of blast ing operations. The acts of punching holes, loading, priming and exploding the charge have been transferred to the screen through the medium of the close up. Both the safety-fuse and electric methods of blasting are included. The use of explosives on farms is said to be rapidly increasing. It is estimated that about 20,- 000,000 pounds of explosives are used annually for agricultural purposes. The film aims to en courage farmers to avail them selves of the tremendous power concentrated in dynamite and to insure proper handling of the ex plosives. Scenes showing the actual blasting of stumps, bould ers, and ditches make a specta cular picture. The blasting of a ditch 400 feet long and 6 feet deep in a single shot, and slow- motion pictures of the blasting ot a huge Douglas fir stump, are features of the film. “Dynamite Concentrated Pow er” was photographed in Vir ginia. North Carolina, Michigan and Washington. The film was adapted for general use through out the United States. It is one reel in length.
