BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Phone: NO 9-4101 Weather conditions and automobile accidents are a couple of sure fire newsmakers, according to Motor Vehicles Commissioner Edward Scheldt. The vehicles chief said there’s little we can do about i weather control but that ' through enforcement, engin- 1 sering, education and lieens- 1 ing we can achieve some measure of accident preven- ■ tion. 1 “We could make much more progress in saving lives, n preventing and minimizing injuries, and in curbing dam age to property, if every driv er w iuld become as concern ed about his own safety a? he expects us to be concern- . ed about public safety,” 1 Scheidt said ‘ As an example of lavity, ^ he pointed out that in the first few weeks of winter | weather enforcement offic- . er spent considerable time helpin-- motorists in trouble with engine failure, weak batteries, boiling radiators * and other mechanical diffi culties. 1 And when the first snow or i storm comes, as the one ‘ lust berofe Christmas, it in- ‘ variably produces many skid ding accidents and traffic snarls by drivers and cars not jirepared for winter’s two worst hazards—reduced trac tion and vision. “Officers are glad to as- 1 sist those who become strand- 1 ed but these folks could save themselves grief and delay ! by some commonsense care of 1 their cars,” Scheidt said. “Winter comes every year ’ at about the same time so i why are so many ear owners caught unprepared in the first weeks of really cold c weather?” he asked. 1 “It’s easy enough to put j pff doing what we know- needs c ioing,” he said. “Some pro- ] alem at home or at work \ takes priority and we post pone winterizing the family r car. But unless a car is ready j for the blasts of winter, both j the car and its driver may be in for a good beating.” j The commissioner recom- t mended that drivers condi- ] tion themselves and their cars j for cold weather by follow- , ing this advice. 1. Get your car ready now , if you’ve not done so. Have ( your serviceman winterize it , if conditions require them, , use reinforced tire chains. 2. Recognize the big drop in traction on snow and ice, , and learn the driving techni ques to cope with it. 3. Anticipate hazards and be ready to meet them with smooth, controlled movements. overdue and she would ap- , preciate their being checked in. “When forecasters predict cold wave, sleet, snow or earn of icy road conditions, hat’s news that should be aken to heart by drivers, 'hose who don’t may end up n mishaps and make the news hemselves," Scheidt declared.

Stale's Roads Take Beating Since January t. Highway Commision Chair man Merrill Evans today is sued the following statement: North Carolina's 30,000 miles of unpaved secondary roads are taking a terrific beating from the worst win ter since 1957. Six weeks of freezing and thawing, coupled with heavy rain and snow, have left thousand; of miles of road foundations too soft to carry normal traffic and in far too many areas, too soft to carry any traffic at all. Roads which were drained, graded and stabilized with from six to ten inches of stone last summer and fall are now impassable. This is a condition we have not faced in many years and the loss runs into tens of millions of dollars.
