Over Driving of
Headlights Called
Menace To Safety
to impress upon
operator
Of all the dangers of night driv
ing, one of the moat common is
what safety engineers call over
driving oar headlights, J. T.
Laney of the Beard-Laney Com
pany said today.
What they mean is that the dis
tance we can see by our headlights
at night is limited and too o:
people are inclined to drive a car
at speeds in excess of which it is
possible to stop within that limit
ed distance covered by the head
lights. This is a dangerous and
alMoo-common practice that
should be avoided.
This statement was made today
by Mr. Laney in a abort talk
making the conclusion of the as
sociations* month-long campaign
motor vehicle
rs the' importance of dim
ming their headlights at night
This month’s segment of the
Motor Transportation Association
of South Carolina Courtesy and
Safety Campaign has been in ef
feet since Oct 1,
time, the trucking
safety m swage was carried to
more than 5 million trucking in
dustry employees.
Mr. Laney said. "It is true that
we naturally tend to drive a lit
tle more slowly at night but if
we aren’t careful, we gradually
let going faster than we think we
are going and that is what gets us
into trouble."
The profesdonal track driver
reali ed that momentum, the seme
force that attempts to throw our
vehicles off curves when ere at
tempt to round them at excewivi
spends, works just as well at
night as it does in the day time.
In other words, if your are driv
ing beyond your headlights at
night and you suddenly approach
a curve or have to swerve sud
denly to avoid a pedestrian your
chances of having an accident are
greater since you have leas space
to decelerate than you would
have in the daytime when
the object i
and during that
industry’s
would see the object
rer i
never beyond your hea
i you
The
moral—drive slower at night, and
idnghts.
Destruction Of
Cotton Stalks
Very Imported
Although the destruction of cot
ton stalks in the early fall has
been'advockted for many years as
a means of reducing the overwin
ter survival of boll weevil, it is
not generally recognized that their
destruction will aLw assist in the
control of economically important
fungus diseases of the ootton
plant '
In a statement released this
week, Dr. Arndt sayr "Surveys of
cotton fields during recent months
have shown that* Infection of the
cotton plant by the anthracnose
fungus during the past summer
t and
was more prevalen
than in any recent year. This fun
gus was the primary cause of
much of the boll rot that greatly
reduced yields. It was also found
on the lint and inside of walls of
open and cracked bolls, on the
young stems, and even In leaf
spots. Consequently, there will be
an abundance of anthracnose-fun-
gus spores to infect seedlings and
S lants if the stalks are left stand-
tg in the field until planting
time. It has been proved con
clusively that the anthracnose
fungus will lose its viability in
several months if the old plants
are in close contact with wet
soil
‘The abundance of (he an
thracnose fungus on bolls’ and
lint also indicates that much *f
the available planting seed will
carry numerous spores of-the an
thracnose fungus, he continues.
‘This would Indicate that seed
treatment with an effective fungi
cide may be necessary to avoid
heavy cotton seedling losses next
year.
‘The destruction of old Stalks
appears also to assist in the con
trol of the Aacochyta disease of
cotton, a disease mat his jellied
numerous young plants in local
areas during the lari three years,’’
he explains. ‘This disease is more
destructive when cotton follows
cotton and the old stalks are left
standing in the field until plant
ing time.
‘‘Cor
nsequently, to control cotton
diseases, rotate crops when pos
sible, destroy old stalks as early
in the fall as feasible, and treat
all planting seed with an effec
tive fungicide,'’ he advises.

points out that in 1924 South

Colonial Stores
Plan Warehouse
The contract for the construc
tion of Colonial Stores, Inc., new
warehouse in Raleigh has been
signed and work will begin with
in the next few days, according
to an announcement yesterday by
A. C. Edens, vice president of the
firm’s central division, from his
headquarters at Columbia.
The J. A. Jones company of
Charlotte, N. C., was awarded the
contract yesterday. A call for bids
was issued originally on Sept. 30.
The building site comprises
some 16 acres, which were ac-
- TnWfy headquarters
. for (|our childrens growing needs!
Today it*s bandages and antiseptics. Yesterday it was medicine
ordered by your doctor for childhood ills. And before that—
baby oil, bottles and nipples, special infant foods . ..
Just imagine what child-raising would be like if you didn't
have your drug store to turn to!
WBen you reflect on the varied nature of the prescriptions
your pharmacist is equipped to fill—and all the times you have
depended on his services—you realize how essential he is to your
family’s health, v’ .
And when you consider the timesaving convenience the drug*
store offers . no wonder today’s busy parents rely on it for so
many of their "growing” needs!
They like the pleasant, professional atmosphere of the store.
And they like the pharmacist himself—a friendly, warm-hearted
man of science, whom spirit of service is an American tradition.
Get better acquainted with your pharmacist Trade with him—
he's a man yon can rely on.—Rtprimudjnm «,
