Slow Speeds
At Night,
Advises Smith
RALEIGH — "Drive right, slow
down at night!”
In Ihese words, Col. James R.
Smith, commander of the State
Highway Patrol this week em
phasised the necessity of reducing
speed af night. Col Smith spoke
on behalf' of this month’s safety
after-dark program of the Motor
Vehicles Department.
"Darkness reduces visibility, so
the distance you can see at night
is limited,” Col. Smith said. “A
good rule of the thumb is to tra
vel at a speed that is slow enough
to enable you to stop within the
distance covered by your head
light beam.”
Even when traveling at a low
ered speed, the driver is stiW in
greater danger of an accident at
night than in the daytime, so he
must increase his vigilance, the
colonel said. He especially cau
tioned drivers to watch out for
pedestrians dressed in dark cloth
ing and for vehicles with dim
ligiits or no lights at all.
“Be sure your own lights are
in good condition,” he warned.
“Make it a habit to turn on your
driving lights at the first hint of
dusk, and always use them pro
perly. Use the upper beam only
on rural highways when no ap
proaching car is within 1000 feet.
Dim your lights even though an
oncoming driver fails to dim his.”
It’s also important that all
parts of your car be in top con
dition. Because danger is much
closer before you can see it in
the darkness, night driving makes
sure mechanical response a must,
Col. Smith said.
Here are a few more do’s and
don’ts the colonel mentioned. Be
sure your lights are on before you
pull onto a thoroughfare at night.
Don’t wear tinted glasses at
night. Never stop on the traveled
portion of the highway at night;
pull completely off the road, lea
ving parking and dome lights on.
ff you must have full headlights
on ,dim them. It’s also a good
idea to have your directional sig
nal light flashing. Carry flares
for use in emergencies. All of
these precautions help to let oth
er drivers know you are stopped.
“And remember,” Col. Smith
said, "the most important rule
of all is: ‘Be your brother’s keep
er’. At night it’s twice as impor
tant to give the other fellow the
benefit of the doubt in traffic.”
October 24 will be observed as
United Nations Day.

jS^ORTH CAROLINA has everything that many in
dustries need for successful operation.
Vast potentials remain virtually untapped," says Gov
ernor Hodges, “I believe our future is practically unlimited
if we accept the opportunities before us.”
New and expanding industry is the answer to North
Carolina’s greatest economic problem—which is lower per
capita income than 42 other states.
Strides forward have already been made in establishing
profitable new industries, large and small, in the State.
Many communities arc already feeling direct benefits of
their payrolls. But the greatest task lies ahead. Success de
pends upon the understanding and efforts of all North
Carolinians.
