DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTEREn AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRKNTON, NOHTU CAROLINA, UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second ' -age Paid At Warrentoii, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION S "~>ne Year, $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 A Deadly Practice Mcmiting slaughter on our high ways ?o causing growing concern to lawmakers and the general public and is hitting the pocketbooks of law abiding motorists as insurance figures stretch towards a prohibi tive figure. The concern of the public is re flected in Legislative action to see that safer highways are built, the traffic lanes are marked, that more patrolmen are employed and that more stringent penalties are placed on the law books. And still the slaughter grows. The State of North Carolina spends thousands of dollars each year to reduce speeding and the public reac tion is to keep a closer look on the rear-view mirror to see if any patrolmen are in sight in order to determine if it Is safe to ignore the traffic laws concerning speeding, and the slaughter continues. The State of North Carolina spends thousands of dollars to mark lanes on the highways and to erect signs warning motorists not to pass when the yellow lines are in their driving lanes. But one is Impressed by the utter disregard of these warnings by many motorists, and one reads daily of multiple killings in head on collisions daily caused by mo torists disregarding the warn ings and the death toll mounts and the insurance rates rise. Much is said about the drunk driver and if caught he is heavily fined, 'Ills license is revoked, and sometimes he is sent to the roads. Drunk drivers should not be per mitted on the highways, but ac tually the drunk driver plays a small part in highway fatalities. While it is true that his reflexes are dulled, he often leans over backwards as he creeps ? and sometimes weaves ? down the road to keep Other People's Business The Christian Science Monitor Just when President Johnson Is being compared with Alexander Hamilton as a certraltzed-government man, he moves in the other direction. It may be that when he Is tagged with the label of moderation this means not that every act will be on dead center but that he will step to left or right as he deems necessary. And the average thrust of his slgs and zags will leave us somewhere between Hamilton and Jefferson. There Is, of course, the celebrated ele ment of consensus polities. If this Is sought through offering sops here and there, we secede from the consensus. We would pre fer to see the President express boldly and candidly what he considers best for the cotsrtry, to alter his course If he cannot summon a consensus ? instead of risking the Impression of beta* all things to all man In advance. Tat we do not cynically doubt the re port that Mr. Jotmeoa considers one of his recent turn ings-to-the-right a matter of principle. This is the effort to reduce gov ernment enterprises in competition with pri vate Industry. We wish a faster review hsd been or dered. It hardly seems that government nancies will need a full three years to determine which of their activities can be closed in the interest of private business. The Kisenhower administration undertook of the problem. But when > take place within the year, the Interests of private ? only ones to from being detected. The real menace here is not the drunk driver, but the drinking driver, -v'th his false confidence and his willingness to take a chance. Speeding is a recognized cause of deaths on our highways and speed ing plays a part in many highway accidents as is borne out by news paper accounts of drivers losing control of their cars and running off the roads or crashing into bridge abutments. No doubt defective auto mobiles play some part In motor vehicle accidents, but one is impressed by the wreckers pulling smashed cars from the highways and by the fact that almost invariably the smashed cars are late models and presumably In good mechanical condition at the time of the Impact. We can talk about drunk drivers, speeding the need for mechanical inspection of motor vehicles, and well we may, but we talk in vain if we ignore the principal cause of highway fatalities ? the ignoring of yellow lines in traffic lanes. This is the principal cause of the real nightmare of driving, the fear of the careful driver of being hit head-on by a racing auto mobile as he crests a hill. Because we are con vine that Ignoring yellow lines in traffic lanes is the prime culprit in highway deaths, we would like to see en forcement efforts and higher penal ties increased for this violation of traffic laws. We would like to see the penalty for crossing a traffic lane when the yellow lines are in such lane the same as are now In force for the drunk driver. If one thinks this is drastic, we challenge him to take a 100-mile drive on country roads or superhighways without having to slam on his car brakes to prevent a smashupby some driver passing across a yellow line, many times when the yellow line is across the top of a hill. The practice is senseless, un necessary, and violators should be severely punished by having their cars removed from the highways.
