'I Didn't See’ Old
Accident Excuse
Modern Traffic Calls
For Full Attention
The most overworked excuse for
automobile accidents is the old one,
“I didn’t see,” says H. Earl Pitzer,
Director of the Bureau of Highway
Safety.
“Expert drivers know that opera-
ting a moving vehicle in modern
traffic calls for full attention to the
job at hand,” he declared. “Effec-
tive vision starts inside the driver's
head. When a motorist is mentally
alert, he sees things that other
drivers may not notice, and he is
ready to exercise good judgment in
whatever action may be necessary.”
In addition to being in a good
frame of mind, the safe driver
makes sure his vision is equal to
Pitzer pointed out.
“The wise motorist takes good
care of his eyes. If he needs glasses
to catch the messages on the var-
ious road signs, he will use glasses.
This motorist will avoid driving
when his eyes become tired,” Pitzer
stressed. :
TAnd although he may not know
that in 1953, the driver's vision
was obscured in one out of ten
_ fatal accidents, the smart motorist
‘does know that certain automotive
items must be kept in good shape
to assure proper visibility.
“Now that we're entering the
season af increasing darkness, it
becomes more and more important
to have headlights in good working
order and to check windshield
wiper blades for clear, streak-free
wiping action. Heat of the past
summer has baked the life out of
rubber in many wiper blades, and
replacement with live-rubber blades
may be the most important single
that can be made for the forth-
cleared windshields are a must.
“A dependable defroster is an-
other item required for safe winter
driving. ;
“And to assure visibility to the
rear, the rear window should be
cleared of snow quickly after snow
has fallen.
“The driver who conscientiously
makes an effort to see danger in
time to avoid it will insure his own
continued safety on the road.”
Blind Barn Owl
Is Favorite Bird
Singed Feathers
In Burning Chimney
To thousands of visitors, the high
point of their visit to Washington
Crossing Park’s Bird Banding Sta-
tion is a blind barn owl, the Park
Commission has reported to the
State Department of Forests and
Waters.
Seriously burnt in a chimney
where he was sitting out the day,
the blinded owl’s condition looked
hopeless at first. But the bird sur-
vived and at the end of each band-
ing program it is brought out and
fed half a pound of beef liver. After-
wards the owl is carried around
from bench to bench and every-
body gets a chance to stroke it’s
head. The owl likes the attention,
and the crowds like the owl.
Dr. Paul H. Fluck who is in charge
of the Bird Banding Program reports
that in the first three weeks of Oc-
tober, 300 birds were banded in the
Park. Since the Bird Banding Pro-
gram began two years ago, 20,000
people have attended. Bird pro-
grams are held every Saturday and
