Admiral Qrayson pointed out that work had been made necessary by disasters in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Phlllipplaes, where 26 disasters were recorded in that archipelago. Tbs I American Society also assisted the Red Cross of two foreign countries in car ing for victims of floods and earth quakes. Ths variation, of types of disasters lulled for expert council on matters re lating to health and nutrition as well as epidlmlc prevention. ‘ Last year’s work'proved the value of the structure and administration of the Red Cross the Southeast, a fact which^imparts added significance to his complimen tary remarks. In commenting on the unit, Colonel Catts stated that P.

His tour of inspection has carried him through all the sc]}Ools in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor gia that maintain ah R.O.T.C. unit.

BPEOLAL--.— ■V ■f BELK’S making sure that everything is in good shape for the train to continue its trip. One of the things chfcked at every inspection point is the brakes. For nobody knows better than railroads how Important it is to be able to stop when you have to stop. — Now, If we think of it in a certain light, we people who own automobiles are all running little trans portation systems of our own ... J'ost like the rail roads and airlines and bus companies. Home is the main terminal and there are lots of stops along the jinii,.. flag sto^ you might say, and regular sched uled stops—like the oflice, the grocery store, the school, the theatre, and our friends’ houses. Just like the railroads, one of the main things we need to look out for is our brakes. Of course, every body knows this and yet somehow or other we’re apt * to be a little careless about it. Not that brakes don’t give us plenty of notice when they're going to need adjustment. As time goes on we find that we can push the pedal lower arid lower, till after a while we can shove it down almost tq the floor boards before the brakes take hold. Eyen then wa sometimes wait qulto a while before we have them adjusted. It Just seems to be human nature to put olT things like that. They tell us the result is that one-thiid of wit cars on streets and highways at any given time have something wrong with their brakes. ^, The trouble Is that when we let our brakes go like thRt, all of a s>i^den we may have to make an emer gency stop, and We may find it rather embarrassing. Engineers say that ff we realized what goes on in brakcf we would see why we ought to ke^ them checked tt{E As they explain, it’s a story of momentum and frictlorbsthe same old forces we’ve talked about before. _ 'They say that when vve get going we build up a certain ehergy in the form of momentum. Now when we want to stop, we can’t Jwt destroy that energy; because, scientists tell- us, Natuiw never lets any of its energy be desUoyed.. We can only convert it into some other form of energy. ''What brakes really do ts to convefT tpeed-energy heat-ejiergy. When we push down on the brake pedabwe press the brake lining against the^brake drum^and this erjeates friction iKat changes the energy to heat. When we have changed all the speed energy tomcat, then wq^come to a stop. Now modern brakes are very powerful. In fact, a 100-horsepov^ car will have about flOO-horsepower brakes. They .wn stop us pretty quickly even from high speeds. But when they do, they simply change those speeds into a Igreat deal of heat, in a very short time. The fact is we sometimes build up temperatures in our' brakes as high as 1400 degrees! . It's easy to see that heat like that can cause a lot of trouble. Some or us may think, it’s fun to rush up to sudden stops, but we might as well realize that we have to pay for that kind of fun in excessive brake wear. It simply doesn’t pay to build up brake heat a lot faster than it»can be thrown off. And we certainly get hardly anything back In time saved. For Instance, if we’re going 30 miles an hour, pur brakes can stop us in 40 feet if they are all right; but it takes them less than two seconds longer to stop us in twice that d.stance. How much better it is, under any normal clrcu.-nstances, to begin to apply the brakes a few csconds earlier end, with gradually increasing pres sure, tirln.g our car to an cacy'stop. As a matter of fact, Emootli, gradual stopping wherever the circumstances pcr.’Tiit, is generally taken as a sign of a good driver! • ITow if we want to keep our brakes safe and sound, it’s important to re- - ineu Ler them fust do to mem. but it’s just as important to re- ^ IRAKI DISIG^' MULTIPLIES EOOTk.^ifSURi / i.;cn-.ber that all stops generate some heat in our brakes. 'That’s what gradu- 3\vn tl'e linings, and sooner or-later makes a brake-adjustment a-iy waars dov; necessary. And that’s why we must watch them and see that adjustments aro made when they are needca. So maybe it would be a gqod idea to keep on thinking of our c»n m private transportation systems.
