The warning came from Chief Colie Dowd, S-D Day director for Newberry. He pointed out: “In proportion to the mileage traveled, three times as many peo ple were killed in daylight. For pedestrians, darkness is especially dangerous; more than half of all pedestrian traffic deaths occur between 6 p. m. and midnight. “Studies by experts have shown that .regardless of what may !be assigned as the ultimate cause oi most night accidents, the immed iate cause is not seeing the haz ard in time.’ Chief Dowd urged people over 46 to be particularly cautious at night. He noted that the Ameri can Automobile Association had recently cooperated in tests ot night visibility, and had reported that, after. 46, people find it in creasingly difficult to distinguish objects at night. He continued: “According to AAA, this condi tion does not depend upon the health of the eyes, for the same thing happems to those with nor mal eyesight as to those who re quire visual aids. A man of 55, with 20-20 vision, needs twice as much light to distinguish the same object as will his teen-age son.” The S-D Day director offered some specific night driving hints: “Turn on your lights at the first hint of dusk. They will help your eyes become adjusted to the lowering visibility, and also make your car visible to oncoming dri vers who otherwise might not see it. n travel within ‘a’yswu&ry “Always traved within your headlights. “Be especially careful on rural roads. Don’t wear tinted glasses.” Chief Dowd cautioned also ag ainst “highway automatism,” the condition that occurs on monoto nous stretches of highway, when the steady purr of the engine and the absence of alerting distract ions lull motorists into driving “automatically.” He stated: “As a precaution, switch your radio on and off from time to time, lower or raise your head lights occasionally, and take per iodic coffee breaks or stops that permit you to get out of your car and walk around for a while.” Pedestrians were offered a spec ial word of caution by the chief: “Remember” he said “that just because you can see the headlights of an approaching car, that is no guarantee that the driver can see you, especially if you are wearing dark clothing. Wear something white at night, or some reflective material.” PREPARING A DELICIOUS LUNCH for high school students at the new SOC capac ity cafeteria are l*ft to right, Mrs. Joe Mayor, lunchroom supervisor; Mrs. Margaret Harmon, Mrs. James Blair, Mrs. Fannie Ma er and Mrs. Mayes Derrick. “Hi” Band An One SILVERSTREET JHA TO HAVE CAKE SALE A cake sale will be sponsored by the Junior Homemakers Asso ciation of the Silverstreet High School on Saturday, November 19 beginning at 10 a. m r , in the Home Economics room of the school. ■ KVf.- i r The living is easy the outlook bright • • • Nylon Jerseys 1 f-v\.

V. KJneece, superintendent of New berry city schools:) . A letter has been received in Newberry from Representative J. Bryan Dorn advising that New born' high school band has been invited to participate in the Cherry Blossom Festival in Wash ington next April 3-8. For the past eight years the high school band has been under the direction of Miss Lorraine Paris. During this time the in strumental program in the New berry city schools has grown from one group of 40 pieces to three bands and a beginners group with a combined membership of 130. Some of the former members of this band have received Band Scholarships at College and many others are sought after for col lage bands throughout this and other states. Two of its alumni are music graduates and noW con duct bands in this state. Bobby Gilliam, graduate of Newberry col lege, is now at Blackville and Denmark high schools; and James Senn, graduate of Furman univer sity, now at Travelers Rest high school. In our community our nigh school band has Served in many ways. No parade is complete without our band. Pep rallies, high school football games, college football games. Civic League teas, band concerts, graduation exercises, Christmas parades, and other special events in the town and at the high school are just si few of the many ways' in which our band serves our community. Nearby communities have also benefitted from the band’s services. Concerts have been presented for the Bush River and Silverstreet PTAs,, at Pomaria high and in Joanna. The group was present (hi$ year in Prosperity to give additional color to their homecogiing celebration. Small ensembles made up of mem bers of the band are available to clubs or organizations desiring musical programs at meetings. The Newberry high school band takes part each year in the dis trict and state contests, and last year had three members chosen for the first annual All-State band conducted by Dr. William D. Rev- elli of the University of Michigan. They have taken part in the Shrine Bowl game at Charlotte, N. C. This year, both Furman university and Clemson college observed Band Day at one of the football games. There were eight bands at Furman and 30 at Clemson and the Newberry high school band was among the bands taking part. The Carolina CarUlon in Colum bia, as well as parades in Green wood, Saluda, Union and Clinton, have in the past and will in the future include the Newberry JU Band. ^ Membership in the band is on a voluntary basis. Many hours of study and practice are necessary and much effort and time required beyond regular school periods. But when the long parade is end ed, the final note of the concert sounded,, or the half-time show executed smoothly and efficiently, both the director and the members feel that sill has been worthwhile if they have given the public some entertainment, some appreciation of music or simply just a life in spirits. A real value of the band is the training received by the members. This training is not con fined to music alone but the dis cipline is excellent and the march ing ability is much above average. Responsibility is encouraged with the students assuming much lead ership in the functioning of band affairs. The loyalty of the mem bers to the high school and es pecially to the band and Its direc tor is an asset not to be overlook ed. Newberry is proud of the New berry Hi Band and feels that we will be well represented at the Cherry Blossom Festival. If this participation is to be possible, it will be necessary to h ave the co operation of the civic clubs, both the Chamber of Commerce and the Junior Chamber of Commerce, as well as individuals.
