PAPER SALE—Feb. Ist SENIOR HIGH M.Y.F. Traffic Safety The deadliest violation of all is the failure to recognize a simple law of physics as applied to a given situation. At night, a driver’s vision is limited to the small distance lighted by his headlights. His speeding automobile can be stopped only after having traveled a certain distance. It is quite obvious that when he is traveling at such a rate of speed, that he is unable to stop within the range of his headlights. He no longer has control over his own life. Many Hoosiers will have to re-acquaint themselves with night driving. They can make no better beginning than checking their lights and checking their speed.
