GOOD PRACTICE — A steady
diet of "moderate driving is re
commended for a healthy, hap
py existence on North Carolina
hightways.
Moderate driving, if you don’t
know, means driving neither too
fast nor too slow and in keeping
with state speed limits, the traf
fic low and weather conditions.
Whether you’re a dyed-in-the
wool speeder or a Chronic slow
poke it’s likely that sooner or
later that law they call average
will catch up with you. Or may
be a highway patrolman.

Slow drivers, too, account for
their Share of the accidents.
'But of the two classes, speed
ers are by far the most danger

year there were 1005 death-deal

Carolina, 438 of them caused by
speeding. The best recommenda
tion for speeders is — don't!
'.Abnormally slow ddrivers tend
to hamper the traffic flow, par
ticularly on mainline thorough
fares, and cause congestion. They
can set up an accident by creat
ing a "blow the top" atmosphere
among drivers all along the
line of traffic. Sightseers or oth

ser traveled roads. Those with
mechanical trouble and trying
to make a garage Should keep to
the right as far as possible and
wave other cars around.
Moderate driving is a practi

toll. It means pacing your driv
ing to traffic around you, gear
ing your speed to prevailing road
and weather conditions.

To Fit Feet
It is estimated that the stress

equivalent of 250 tons to the mile. I
It is no wonder that weight im
■ properly balanced, tight shoes, i
or wrongly shaped shoes cause so
much damage.
Outgrown shoes are the worst
offenders in causing foot de
fects. The rate of growth of chil
dren’s feet requires new shoes
every one to six months. In lar
ge families shoes are handed
down and this is another major
offender in ruining children’s
feet.
miss lviaiy r,rn uee, cxotmng
specialist for the N. C. Agricul
tural Extension Service, says the
foot of a child is soft and pliable
so that the muscles or hones are
developed any way they are mol
ded.
Miss Lee says that children’s
shoes are the most important i
tem of their clothing and no care
should be spared in fitting them
correctly. There are five points
to observe in fitting a baby’s
shoe.
1. the shoe should be long e
nough to allow for foot develop
ment.
2. The toe should be wide e
nough to permit freedom of
movement and to allow the toes
to spread when the weight of the
body rests on them,
3. The toe should be deep en
nough to avoid pinching.
4. The instep should be loose
enough to permit free blood cir
culation. Too tight 'an instep in a
baby’s developing foot presses

pe and cramps (the foot.
5. The heel should grip the
foot firmly to prevent heel rota

and outstanding traffic safety
programs as reported in the 1959
Annual Inventory of Traffic Sa
fety Activities.”
Major Speed said that 49 states
and 1158 cities participated in
the 1959 inventory which is the
only national yardstick to evalu
ate traffic safety activities. He
said the inventory service pro
vides a detailed and continuous

and performance standards each
city and state should strive to
meet.
Major Speed is NorthCarolina’s
inventory representative.
The state award was given for
maintenance of accident records
and traffic education in the sch
ools. The rating means an a
chievement of 80 per cent or bet
ter of the program evaluation.
[ Accident records are maintained
: by :he State Department of Mo
j tor Vehicles in a section headed
| by Ollis D. Griffin. The school
| traffic safety program is a fun -
ction of the Department of Pub
lic Instruction under John C. Noe.

| ieh receive certificates included
.Burlington, Elizabeth City, Fay
’ r eville, Greensboro, High Point,
Smhhfield and Statesville.

More teenagers are killed acci

For the 1049-57 period, the per
centages of teenagers was 18.09,
compared to all other age groups.
It moved up to 20.64 per cent in
1958.
Death rates associated with

those associated with animals,

decreasing.
The week of July 24-30 has
