Carteret Included in Cornell Research i On Causes of Injury in Auto Accidents Research aimed at reducing ex cessive and nefdUsi injury in pa* st-nyrr C4t acr>'>nta i? U> be initi aled Aug. 1 by the North Caro lina-Cornell Univeruty Automotive Crash Injury Research program in Alleghany. Surry. Wilkes, Yadkin, Carteret. Craven, I' .1 III lie (I. Greene, Jones and U-noir counties It will continue six months. Begun in North Carolina in 1954. this program has as its primary objectives the study of the relation ship between passenger car design and 'he injuries sustained by oe cupanls. It is estimated that thou sands of American motorists may already have been saved from in jury or death by the application of data obtained in North Carolina and in other participating states in recent engineering safety designs aimed at increasing passenger pro tection. Participating groups include the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the North Carolina Board of Health, the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina, the North Carolina Hospital association, and hospital authorities and personnel. Physicians and highway patrol officers collaborate by reporting on special forms the nature and ex tent of injuries and the precise causes of injuries sustained. Functioning as medical coordina tor of the program is the North Carolina Hoard of Health and many of its local health officers Com pleted case histories including ac cident reports, photographs, and medical reports are forwarded to Cornell for analysis and statistical interpretation. The resulting pool of medical and accident data from North Carolina and the 17 other states in this Cor null program has made it possible to produce statistical findings that serve as a basis for automotive de sign changes. Design modifications based on i these studies, such as improved j door-holding mechanisms, recess- j ed steering wheel hubs, padded in- J strument panels, and seat belts have been proved effective in re ducing injury. A comparison of accident-injury 1 patterns, in the samples studied by Cornell, of later model automn- , biles with earlier models has shown the newer cars to have 20 per cent less occurrence of danger ous or fatal injury. Cornell report ed the following preliminary find' , ... Door Latch Mechanisms: In the samples studied the incidence of door opening in post-1955 cars was reduced as much as 27 per cent, with the result that the frequency of persons being thrown from the car was reduced by 50 per cent. The effect has been to reduce the risk of dangerous and fatal in juries up to 30 per cent. Findings Regarding the F.jection Problem : Common popular belief has been that "being thrown clear of the car" during an accident heightens one's chance of survival. Previous findings by Cornell have demonstrated Jonclusively that suck is contrary to fact, and that the risks of death are increased nearly five times when a person is thrown from the car. Pawl Padding: The automobile manufacturers report that 49 per cent of new car buyers were will ing to pay the additional cost for a padded dash ? more than have ever before ordered an optional item of any type during Its first year on the market. Clinical studies of the available cases indicate that, among occu pants who struck padded portions of the instrument panel or padded sun visors, the incidence of injury was roughly So per cent less than among occupants in cars not equipped with padding Statistical corroboration of these observations should be possible within the next two years, Cornell reports. Ste?riM Assemblies: As in the | ! case of padding materials, data is' I Mill insufficient for statistical analytic. From available cases, clinical comparison indicates a re duction of severe chest injuries by 50 per cent. Seal Bells: When in use at the I time of accident, .seat belts reduce j injury risk up to 60 per cent. Testimony in hearings before the Sul>fommittec on Traffic Safety of the House of Representatives on April 30. 1#57. on the use of seat i belts, generally coincided! with the I position taken by the Automotive : Crash Injury Research spokesmen. la Us final report the subcommit tee states, "It is the opinion of the Subcommittee on Traffic Safe ty. that seat belts, properly manu i factured and properly installed, | are a valuable safety device and i careful consideration for their use | should be given by the motoring ! public." Cornell Automotive Crash Injury Research studies are sponsored by the Armed Forces Fpidemiologi I cal board through its Commission j on Accidental Trauma. Funds for ' this study are supplied by the Sur I gcon General of the Army, the United States Public Health Ser vice and the Automobile Manu facturers association. West to Observe 100th Birthday Of Pony Express Dozens of major celebrations will b** held in the West this month in honor of (he 100th anniversary of the Pony Express. The post office department has been advised of plans by many groups for pageants, parades and commemorative events to be held in July in conjunction with its Pony Express stamp and stamped en velope issued July 19. The stamp honoring the Pony Express Centennial this year was put on sale July 19, at Sacramento, Calif., and the envelope ? one of the few commemorative stamped en velopes ever issued by the postof fice department? was put on sale the same day at St. Joseph, Mis souri. Also on July 19, the department has been advised by the National Pony Express Centennial associa tion that the association under took a "full-scale" reenactment of the Pony Express of 100 years ago. Riders started simultaneously from St. Joseph and Sacramen to on July 19 to cover the approxi mate 1,900 mile route completely by horse relay, without any stops except to change horses and ri ders. Approximately 1,000 riders and 1,000 horses are expected to participate altogether in the dou ble cross-country day and night runs. The reenactment will differ from previous attempts which covered shorter distances, or which "van ned" the horses a large part of the distance, according to association officials. Many other colorful activities pageants, parades and celebrations ?are planned, including commem orative ceremonies July 25 at Scotts Bluff National monument in Nebraska and Fort Kearney Na tional monument in Wyoming. Both monuments are under the National Park Service and are prominently associated with Pony Express history. Museum < Continued from Page 1) eral people said that Galvcaton, Tex. , was interested in obtaining the fish models for display at a federal laboratory there. The Morehead City chamber of commerce became interested in the fact that North Carolina might lose the fine nucleus of a marine muaeum, so efforts were made to put the models on display again. A suggestion that they be dis played at Fort Macon was at one time seriously considered. Then during the last legislature when funds were appropriated for the state museum, $16,000 was ear marked for reopening of the Hamp ton muaeum. Five thousand dol lars was made available for each year of the biesuuum. The mnaeam la named for Wil liam Roy Hampton, Plymouth, former state commercial fisheries chairman, who prior to his death was interested in establishing a marine muaeum on the coast. When the fish models were in the building at Pivera laland. they attracted thousands of visitors, especially school children. Mr. Davis said that he doubt* that there ia a museum south of New England that will cover as much as the Hamptoa muaeum. If the rejuvenated, expanded mu aeum attracts as much attention a* th* fish models have in prior yeave* U pnwlaas to be a popular place. Shouod fundi make it possible, ?
