Thursday, Mfcrch 31, 1060 the mmmx plaindealer The Dirivers Seat When we drive onto a modern expressway or tollway. we leave most of? our ordinary driving problems behind. There are^vo intersections, stoplights, pedestrians or turning cars to slow down our swift, comfortable drive. And yet, the very factors that make expressway driving easy for us create new and different problems of safety. Most of us have learned to drive on city streets and rural roads. We've built up a series of driving habits and reflexes thAt araurine in the kind of traffic we're used to, but which don't work at all on Expressways. The higher speeds of expressways condense time, and distances in a way that requires usto develop a whole new set of driving habits and reactions. In-normal traffic, we can come to a safe stop in a hundred feet or so if a car stalls ahead of us. At 70-mph expressway speeds;'we need a good quarter-mile before we can make a safe, gentle stop. Routine maneuvers such as passing require much greater distances on expressways. We can swing out in normal traffic, pass another car, and get back into our lane in the space of a half-block. On expressways, we can't pass safely in les£than a half-mile. Most expressway accidents occur when drivers try to use 40-mph driving habits at 70- mph speeds. It just doesn't work. High-speed driving requires us to plan far ahead and allow plenty of time and room for any change of position in the traffic flow. Expressway architecs had thiswJriving difference in mind whffi they designed superhighways. Curves are wide and sweeping, to provide the extra room for turns at fast speeds. Access and exit approaches are long and gradually turning to give a driver plenty of time to prepare for his next move. One design factor resulting from the fast pace of expressways is the sign system which let^t driver know what to expect ahead and gives him extra time to plan his actions. We've all seen these large green signs, easy to read by day and brightly reflective at night, which let us know well inadvance that an exit road is ahead or that we can expect a service area in the next mile or so. With the information these sigjK provide, drivers can decidP whether to turn off the expressway or stop for gas or a cup of coffee and still have plenty of time to slow down and change lanes safely. With the aid of these warning signs and our own common sense, most of us have begun to devolp the new driving habits and sense of timing we need og expressways. For those of ;^-ho have had little or no experience on these high-speed roadways, the knowledge, that they provide a new and different driving environment preoares us for the adjustment we all must moke whert We rirst drive onto them. "Metropo-phobia," or morbid fear of cities, is a disease of drivers unused to the clutter. clang and competition of Big-city traffic. It is character- :zed bv such s.vmatoms as "ex- D^essway nerves." "pedestrian Daisy." "left lane paralysis." "navigation nerves" and "signitis." Specific remedies for the above maladies, according to traffic experts, are;, * ExDr&sswav jitters: Drivers bothered by this affliction hnve tendency to speed up, <?low down, weave and generally be out of step with other expressway traffic. The solution is to maintain a speed consistent with other traffic,-avoid sudden bursts of speed or brak- ;ng, and sudden lane changes. B e o a u s e e x p r e s s w a y t r a f f i c m o v e s a t r e l a t i v e l y h i g h speeds, a person in it should five all of his attention to his driving and pay particular attention to all of the' traffic around him. * Pedestrian palsiy: This is caused by the unexpected -- shoppers darting but from between parked cars, or starting across streets against the light -- and is cured by driving slowly among . parked cars arid being prepared for the unexpected. * Left-lane paralysis: A stream of oncoming traffic and impatient h o r n-blowers trapped behind can make even seasoned city-goers freeze in the course of a left turn. To avoid the dilemma, don't dart across the path of oncoming traffic, no matter how many drivers are blowing their horns behind you. until you can get across safely.. i * Navigation nerves: Plotting your route ahead of time will release you from many frustrations. Wherever possible, use the by-pass routes that circumvent most large cities. If you must drive through the city, seek advice before entering it. Long stays or several stops within the city warrant getting a street map and marking out the best route between stops with a pencil, for quick reference. * Sign-itis: This is caused by signs, markings and signals that vary between cities and within cities. They often confuse strangers. After-d a rl^ driving can be blind driving where reflective street and warning signs are not widely used. If you are driving at night and the city in which you a?e driving does not have good signs, slow down. Better still, stay away from that city in the future.

About 12,000 cases of this disease are reported each year in Ohio. Ohio State university extension economists point out that since 1950 total farm output has increased about 25 per cent. In that time population has increased about 18 per cent. Productivity of the average farm worker has increased 100 per cent since 1940. The first successful gas machine for safely anesthetizing horses, cattie and other large animals for surgery has been announced* at Oklahoma State university. . When good quality hay is properly stored in a dry place, it will retain most of its nutritional .qualities for at least f6rty-five years, Kansas researchers have found. The fanner who has his soil tests made in the fall has more time to plan his cropping system and he can buy fertilizer when prices are lowest. Spraying cattle oh warm, sunny fall days helps keep the winter louse population down and the cattle more comfortable and thrifty. One of the most important keys to successful farming is the use of certified seed. The argument that certified seed ,is too expensive just doesn't make sense. An over-all look at crop production shows that seed costs are a minor item. A new breed of chickens has been developed at the Ohio agriculture experiment station. The broilers, named "White Gold," average one-third of a pound heavier at eight weeks of age than random bred control groups. Some birds of the new breed have white plumage, others have a light red. Hog expansion appears to be slowing down, according to Ohio State university extension economists. They expect hog slaughter this year to exceed the 1959 total. USDA researchers, studying rate of gain among hogs, found that ordinary wallows in the sun were just as effective in increasing rate of gain as some other ways that were more elaborate and expensive. Research specialists.1 have developed an automafTcegg grading and packing line capable of cartoning graded eggs at a rate of 7,200 an hour.

NEED FOR HOSPITAL BEDS INDICATED BY NEW FIGURES The need for more beds at McHenry hospital is strongly indicated by January and February, I960, patient volume figures.. There were 150 patients admitted in January, 32 per cent more than the number for the same month in 1959. In 'February, 1960, the 144 admissions represented an increase of 47 per cent, over •'February, 1959. If this present trend .continues, there will be approximately 1,800 patients admitted to the hospital during 196.0. The. per cent of occupancy (94 per cent) for February was »4J*e highest in the hospital's h i s t o r y . T h i s f i g . u r e h a s dropped below 85 per cent only tjiree times in the last twenty months. The accepted operational norm is 80 per cent. Total emergency cases in January, 1960, increased twenty- four over January, 1959, and thirty-two more than January, 1958. There were 111 emergencies handled during the first month of this year.

The census is taken by the assessors in rural townships-- over 1.600 of them, when they visit each farm to assess personal property. The census will cover land use and livestock numbers. Under the law farmers are required to answer questions asked by the assessors but the information given is confidential and may not be used for tax purposes. Farm operators can save time for themselves and their assessors if they will have their crop and- livestock figures in mind when the latter call on them. The farm statistics give a picture of the agriculture in each township and are of utmost importance to the citizens of the community. Local data enable farmers to buy and soli more effectively. Buyers „of ,fEO|n CDnuvttjd&tes want ' jqV catie their facilities in areas where production is concentrated and they can buy most efficiently. The fact that township information is available- to all buyers serves to enhance local competition and result in bet* ter prices for farmers.
