Gives Points on Safe Driving
m
As Newberry moved ahead with
preparations tor “SD Day”-—Safe
Driving Day, Thursday, Decem
ber 1—motorists and pedestrians
were warned today to be mindful
of the special hazards of driving
and walking at night.
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.”

(The following article concern
ing the accomplishments and ac
tivities of the Newberry High
School band was written by J. 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.
