HIGHWAY
SAFETY
NEWS
RALEIGH Each morn
ing's report of fatal accidents
during the previous 24 hours
which circulates through the
Motor Vehicles Department
will descrbe at least one
crash n this manner:
"Vehicle ran off road, struck
tree."
or
"Vehicle, traveling at high
speed, left roadway, struck
bridge abutment."
More often than not, the
driver is the only occupant in
the car. His death forecloses
any answer to the inevitable
question, "Why?"
This is what students of
traffic safety problem tali
the "Mystery Crash." There
are no survivors to explain
what happened.
But Department of Motor
Vehicles analysts can make
some educated guesses. They
note, for one thing, that a
large percentage of the single
car mystery crashes occur on
the lightly-traveled secondary
road system, No other mov
ing object is involved. There
are no traffic situations con
tributing to the smashup.
The Department Analysts
also note that a substantial
portion of the drivers in the
secondary road, single • car
fatal amaatjups are young—
-16 to 24.
And many of these accidents
plainly show evidence of ex
cessive speed.
Adding up these factors, the
Department of Motor Vehicta
sees the single-car, second
ary road fatal accident as th«
product of driver error on
winding roads that were never
intended for high-speed tra
vel.
Fatalities on the secondary
road system have risen sharp
ly in the past few years. Dur
ing the first six months of
this year, more than one
fifth of all death-producing
wrecks occurred on the sec
ondary system. Most of them
were traced to faulty driv
ing.
The paving of the second
ary system which began on
a large scale in '4O, is thus
seen by safety people as a
mixed blessing. The paving
program got North Carolina's
rural population "out of the
mud." At the same time, it
permitted high speeds on road
ways never engineered for
that kind of driving.
And the Department of Mo.
tor Vehicles, the reports con
tinue to come in dailyc "Ve
hicle traveling at high speed,
ran off roadway, struck tree.
Deceased was driver."

Senior Citizens
By Reporter
If our happy Senior Citi
zens Club of Cooleemee has
any distinction, it is the fact
that they like to sing; Those
of us who are not blessed with
the gift, feel perfectly free
to "make a joyful noise" and
be assured of no embarrass
ment because, the volume of
those who can, will drown us
out. We sing folk songs, pa
triotic songs, ballads and ev
en some popular songs, but
our first love is for the old
gospel songs and hyimns. Af
ter each program we have
a song session and our pian
ist oftentimes misses out on
refreshments. Seldom does a
session end without "How
Great Thou Art". Our most
recent invitation to sing
comes from the Fran - Ray
Rest Home for Thursday
night. Last month we went
to Salem Methodist Church.
We greatly appreciated
those bringing flowers: Mrs.

been able to join us for
several months, Mr. and Mrs.
M. H. Hoyle, Mr. Oscar Booe,
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Murphy,
Mrs. Pearle Bar bee and Mr.

"I certainly do appreciate
your chronicling of the Og
den Deal Sculpture acquisi

Library. It will give me good
information to pan on to
other libraries when similar
problems present themselves.
I am very pleased, personally,
with th effect of the sculp

example in a panel at the
American Library Association
where I was attempting to
portray the public library as
the only visible cultural in
stitution in small town Ameri
ca."
