Six at these victims were pedestrians, according to the South Carolina Highway Department. Highway officials whose tasks are to work directly on high way safety had already started placing additional emphasis on pedestrian safety when 1970 traffic death statistics began to show that persons who walk in or near traffic were becoming a disproportionate per centage of the overall total This fact came to light dra matically in September and Oc tober of last year when pedes trian deaths increased 41 per cent over the same months of the previous year. The year ended with a total of 189 pe destrians meeting death in 1970, 24 more than in 1969. Noting that three of the six pedestrians killed so far this year were children under five years old. C. W. Dorman, traf fic safety coordinator for the Department urged parents and other adults who are caring for children near traffic to keep a constant eye on the young ster. "A child can dart into the street and into the path of an automobile in a split second,” Dorman said. Tt is important for parents to know exactly where their small children are and not allow them to play in the street. When walking with a child, keep a grip on his hand so that he can not sud denly dart into traffic, as chil dren sometimes do.” Drivers were also cautioned to watch for pedestrians and drive defensively when travel ing through an area where p>eo- ple are walking "When a moto rist spiots a pedestrian along side or in the road ahead of him. he should slow down and be on the lookout for any sud den. unpredictable moves that the walker may make. So often the very young, the elderly and the drinking pedestrian are likely to misjudge the distance and spieed of an oncoming car. These same groups are also likely to wander into the path way of a car from inattention. In a pedestrain-vehicle accident, the individual always gets the worst of it since a human body is no match for 4.000 pounds of steel. A pedestrian collision, regardless of the speed of the car. is likely to be fatal to the piedestrian.” Dorman said. In the Traffic Safety Educa tion section of the department. Captain B. E. Fallaw who heads the unit said that he and his staff have begun placing more empihasis on pedestrian safety through lectures to civic, church, patriotic and school groups. "We are distributing thousands of leaflets each month, showing iOO’s of films, utilizing radio and tv programs and spots with a primary fo cus on the pedestrian situation,” Captain Fallaw said. "We are also visiting elementary schools and military bases using spe cial programs on pedestrian safety. You know, everyone is a pedestrian at some time or other and we attempt to bring the point home that defensive walking is as important as de fensive driving.” Captain Fallaw said that he and the three officers on his staff are making direct appeals to parents, in particular, to make certain they know where their children are every mo ment. “We also caution drivers to make certain that a child is not behind the truck or auto mobile when the vehicle is to be driven in reverse. So many youngsters lose their, lives in Business group visits Wall St The world of securities and investments will become more realistic for seven students at Newberry College the week of January 23 when they visit Wall Street in New York. The men students are enrolled in one of Newberry College's one-month Interim sessions. The shortened semester gives stu dents an opportunity for ex tended work in an area of their choice that is not usually co vered in the undergraduate course of studies. Since much of the class work during the Interim session involves off- campus work, students take only one course during the term. Each course carries four hours of credit and is graded on a pass-fail basis. While visiting the financial center of the country, the New berry College students will vi sit the New York and Ameri can stock Exchanges and other major financial institutions in the city Before the future ‘money men” leave for New York, they will have classroom instruction on the basic operations of the stock market under the direc tion of Fred Lester, assistant professor of business admini stration at the College. Students enrolled in the course are John Stanley Boozer. Pros perity: John Ivan Hobbs. Lynch burg: John Wesley. Orange burg: Kent Eugene Nichols, 1912 Harrington. Newberry; Rus sell M. Randolph.

Thompson, head of the Department Traffic Law Enforcement Division, said he had asked members of the pa trol to give ‘ primary attention” to pedestrian law enforcement. Noting that 66 per cent of the pedestrians in the age group of 20-60 years had been drink ing at the time of their death. Colonel Thompson said, “I have asked all patrolmen to be es pecially on the lookout for in toxicated pedestrians.” Of the six pedestrians killed through January 6, three were in the 0-4 year group, two were in the 15-29 age bracket and one was in the 30-49 yea 1, group. Three of the fatalities occurred at night and the other three during the day. Five oc curred in rural areas and one in an urban setting. Motorcyclists license needed Motorcyclists are reminded that they have until March 31 to obtain a special license ne cessary to legally operate a motorcycle or any two wheel motor vehicle on South Caro lina streets and highways. Since the March 31 deadline was announced by the State Highway Department in mid- November of last year some 600 motorcyclists have taken the examination required and ob tained their operator’s license. Added to the 600 who were licensed prior to the announce ment, this number means that some 14,800 of the state's 16,000 motorcyclists need to be licen sed within the next two and a half months. “Unless the momentum picks up tremendously, we will have a number of persons requiring these licenses who will be un able to obtain them by March 31.” a Highway Department of ficial said A person wanting to get a motorcycle driver per mit must make an appointment with the Highway Department’s driver and motor vehicle license office in his locality. The official urged motorcy clists to take this step as quick ly as possible in order to avoid the last minute rush and the accompanying long waiting pe riods. A Motorcyclists Hand book. giving the details of safe motorcycling, may be obtained, without charge, from any of the Department’s local office. The examination required con sists of knowledge, eye and ac tual driving performance tests. The fee is $2.00 regardless of whether the license is issued for operating a motorcycle only or is in the form of an endorse ment on a regular driver’s li cense. If the license is an en dorsement, the operator's re gular license is extended to the person’s birthday in the fourth calendar year following the is suance date. The requirement for a spe cial license to operate a motor cycle is one of the 16 uniform standards called for in the 1966 National Highway Safety Act. The overall purpose of this act is to bring uniformity to high way safety laws throughout the United States.
