JUNE. 1958 On Your Vacation AVOID HIGHWAY Tips on How to Stay Kick off your right shoe so the stimulate you. Carry good sun gla and a piece of plywood (above). O hours. During vacation week Clinton-Lydia Employees and their families will drive thousands of miles. Some a:e planning trips to Miami, others to New York and points beyond. On such trips it becomes progressively difficult to stay alert over long driving periods. You can't automatically stay alert ... you've got to work at it. Professional long distance drivers employ many devices to aid them in staying alert. The simplest?and the one most scorned by the wise guys ?is to stop for ten minutes every few hours, whether you feel like it or not. Take one of these recess periods, as a coffee or cake break, about every two hours after the third hour of steady driving. Even with periodic stops, however, you've got to consciously work at staying alert at the wheel, and experienced long-haul drivers have a lot of tricks along this line. Some of them are: Chewing a big wad of gum: not just one or two sticks, but a whole pack at a time. This involves considerable effort, but that's exactly the reason for it. Singing out loud when you feel drowsiness sneaking up on you. This is especially valuable for solo drivers. Taking a whiff of smelling salts. Many truckers carry a small bottle of salts in the cab for this "first aid" treatment. Others carry a half a lemon: one suck on this will wake up a dead man. Wearing good sunglasses. Reflected glare is a major cause of drowsiness from eyestrain. It is significant that most Driver Asleep accidents happen in broad daylight. Kicking off your right shoe so the vibration from the accolcratnr pan elimiilato vnn Sitting on something hard for a while: a thick magazine, or a few layers of corrugated board. A piece of plywood in the car for long trips is a good idea. Keeping the eves roving. The shortest cut to highway hypnosis is to stare straight ahead down the road for mile after mile. Make it a habit to sweep your eves over the entire scene ahead, loft to right. at least every two seconds. Just the mental effort involved helps keep you alert, and you avoid the nervous rigidity of the frozen stare. In addition to these expedients. make it a practice to always abide bv the traffic signs and laws. r HYPNOSIS * F <1 I f Awake at the Wheel ( ); it vibration of the accelerator can , sses, gum, smelling salts, a lemon. 1 n a trip, stop for coffee, every two e a a Lydia Supervisors Complete First Aid Training ' r All Lydia Supervisory per- j sonnel have successfully com- r pleted the American Red c Cross Approved Standard j first aid course. c Second Shift Supervisors ^ ewmpieieu meir naming on ^ June 5th under instructor c Charles R.
