Cold Weather Driving Hazards Floyd A Kline. Sr., director of Use Indiana Office of Traffic S ty, trnlay warned hoosier .motorists I of fddßionri hazards to driving | v. rh the advent of cooler weather. Many jieople are now stiffer.ng from symptoms erf flu, virus, and the “common cold" and. while most persons would not atttmp: to drive under the; influence of i tnedfcntion, nviny do as- ! ter taidag one of the patent de-1 contestant remedies for a cold. Any driver with a bad cold who statts out m traffic, feeling loggy. with a stuffy nose, watery eyes,l and a general run-down feeling. is taking a chance bn has mg’ a serious accident. Mr. KUne said. In today s, congested traffic, the driver must be constantly alert and capable of reacting quickly. This is impossible it his senses are dulled by some form of depressant mediation. When a person feels bad with -a cold, but not iU enough to stay home. he still is a threat on the highway. As little as a ten percent impairment of one’s normal driving ability, caused by the intake of common cold remedies, is enough to render a driver incapable of making the necessary adjustments to avoid a traffic crash in the event of an emergency. • Medical records show tiiat other drugs, and tranquilizers, also represent a dangerous threat to the safety to anyone trying to drive . pngnazme apd Reserpine, used in tix- treatment of extreme nervousness ami high Wood pressure. can cause drowsiness and or lightheodedness, and must be used w ith great caution, when trying to drive Taking antihistamines to combat 1 motion sickness, may produce side effects of sleepiness or tizzy spells, in which case their use is prohibitive when driving. * Mr. Kime called attention to those drivers who rely on so-called “pep pills’’ to keep them awake when drowsiness or fatigue lessens their alertness. This person can be even more of a hazard than the . drinking driver While the drinking driver may know he is in no condition to drive and wsill stay off the road, the person who is taking , "pep pills’’ usually feeis that they ( make him a better driver Certain drugs contained in “pep 1 1 pills’* can be habit forming. Such a drug is Amphetamine, which as- . facts the heart ahd nervous system. Gradually the user of .Amphetamine develops a reliance on this 1 drug without realizing it. According to medical records, the use of this drug can cause hallucinations. Under its influence, motorists have ’ reported seeing imaginary objects looming up in front of them, or imagined they saw insects crawling across their windshields. Records show that conclusive tests on the effect of tranquilizers and antihistamines on motorists have not been completed, but authorities generally agree that they do impair the driver’s ability to Perform at peak capacity Amphencis and fatigue, can dull a per son’s reflexes, may bring on personality changes, and can become habit forming. .And. although certain highly nervous individuals might actually improve their driving slightly by using tranquilizers, such cases appear to be rare. The conscientious driver will never try to sdxtitute a "pep pill" for adequate test and sleep. Nor u-iU he attempt to drive while under the influence of tranquilizers, antihistamines or deccngestant-de-nressnat miIiRHM • morally responsible individual would’never combine drug's and alcohol • nd to motor vehicle. This can be a deadly combination, Mr. Kime concluded. especially when winter cuts down on visibility and makes drtving conditions even more hazardous.

By ROSE CUNNINGHAM New West Noble High School Could Be A Reality It now appears that the building of . a new West Noble high school could i become a reality by another year, barring further delays. An emergency appropriation of $60,300 for use in the purchase of a school site, was approved by the Indiana Board of Tax Commissioners in Indianapolis last week. A group of petitioners opposing the appropriation because they prefer building close enough to Ligonier to tie onto the city’s municipal sewer and water systems had their petition read before the board on that same day. The board rejected the pe- ! tition and ruled that the emergency appropriation should be allowed. The West Noble school district is composed of Ligonier. Wawaka. and Cromwell high schools, and Washington Center. Kimmdl. North Elkhart, and Perry Centralized elementary schools. Tlie proposed site of the new high school building is miles south of Ligonier on U. S. 33, known as Stone’s Hill.
