Southern C al is said to have , lost on fumbles. We have to remember that ball carriers don't " just- drop the ball.

The Drivets Seat There ate, certain hours when the driver of an automdbile is more likely to fee killed in an accident than at other times of day. V Says the National Safety Council: "During the first few hours after midnight, fatal motor-vehicle accidents reach a peak rate nearly ten times higher than the low rate' for the day, which. occurs during the late morning hours." v "The Fatal H6urs," they can be called. Why is driving after midnight much more dangerous than driving during the day? Some of the answers are: 1. More drunken drivers. 2. Generally reduced visibility of the dangers on unlighted highways. 3. Speeding. With less traffic .on the highways, drivers tend to drive faster. f 4. " Highway hypnosis" induced by darkness and isolated lights in darkness -- even dashboard lights. 5. People are tired. People driving after midnight are more likely to be tired in the first place, and likely to get still more tired from the tensions accompanying night driving. 6. Shadows can play optical tricks on the eyes of a person accustomed to driving a road only "during the day. The basic solution to the night-driving problem is greater visibility for drivers. Headlights and artificial highway lighting help, but the greatest advance in night-driving safety has been reflectivity! The alternative to providing more light for night visibility. (Can you imagine what it would cost to light every, mile of road in this country?) is to make objects -- cars, signs, bridges and the road, itself -- more visible in the light that exists. This is where the principle of retro-reflectivity -- the directing of light back to its source -- comes in. Retro-reflective coatings are applied to traffic signs, highway centers, lanes and edges, and many other thiijgs the night-driver needs to see. 'And thirty-three states and the District of Columbia have adopted reflective "safety" license plates to make the cars on their roads more visible at night. But there still remain two things the night-driver can do for himself -- plan his route, and stay awake jyicl alert. SPORTpOMRfjj TAeDOA* D'C7~EZ> £LVW HAYES LLAMD TOMASELLCS THURS.NITE LADIES T.N.T.
