Heedless Horsepower
A new d ea dly disease has th e A m erican people in its
grip an d no m iracle d r u g is in sight to stop its f rig h tfu l
toll of h um an lives.
H eedless horsepow er is th e chronic disease of th e Age
of the Automobile. Its sym ptom s a re m any an d various.
T he heavy foot on th e a c c e le ra to r ; th e eye fixed on the
clim bing sp e e d o m e te r; th e h an d on th e h o rn ; the mind idl­
ing while th e c a r is in high.
In its 23rd a n n u a l h ig h w ay safety publication, “ H e e d ­
less H orse pow er,” T he T ra v elers Insurance Com panies of
H a rtfo rd , Conn., point to th e f a c t t h a t 40,000 A m ericans
w ere killed an d 2,368,000 in ju re d in 1956 on U. S. h ig h ­
ways. T h a t ’s an increa.se of six p e r ce n t in fatalities and
n ea rly ten p e r c e n t in injuries over 1955’s toll.
T he disease of heedless ho rsep o w er i.s highly co n ta­
gious,” the booklet states. It can be s p re a d by an irres­
ponsible word, an inflated claim , a careless exam ple. And
everyone who is in a position to influence driver.s should
learn t h a t horsepow er, in the h ands of th e heedle.ts, is the
f u n d a m e n ta l cause of o u r ever-m ounting toll of disaster.
In rec en t years, engineers have m ade m any a tte m p ts
to f e a tu re .safety e«iuipment in th e new cars. Probably
m any lives have been s p a re d by safety gla.ss, se a t belts,
p a d d e d in.strument panel.s, all-steel bodies, etc. Hut these
safety devices cun be nullified by any com bination of speed
plus carele».sness, thoughtlessne.ss or lack of ju d g m e n t by
the d riv er behind the wheel.
H owever, it is th e driver, not the m a n u fa c tu re r, the
a d v e rtise r or th e .salesman who must b e a r th e g r e a te st
w eight of blame. For it is th e d riv er who can control the
horsep ow er and u.se it safely fo r his g r e a te r ease an d con­
venience. It is the d riv e r who is lectured to, legislated at,
p r a v f d for, prea ch e d to . . . in every medium of public exprc-iiiins known to man. And it is the d riv er who nods
sagely, priimi.ses readily, a n d forgets e v e o ’thing but his
sense of overw helm ing p o w er w hen he steps on th e gas.
C asualty lists on U. S. highw ays have m ounted .steadi­
ly until in l ‘J 56 all records of heedless haste an d heedle.ss
w aste w ere sham efully broken. T he facts of h u m an suf­
ferin g an d d e a th speak for them.selves.
H um an e r r o r is by f a r the biggest single cause of ac­
cidents. Figures com piled by T he T ra velers sow t h a t in
96.4 p e r cent of the fa ta l crashes last year, th e autom obile
was in a p p a r e n tly good condition. Clear, dry w e a th e r p r e ­
vailed in more th a n 85 p e r cent of the.se in.stances!
If this y e a r ’s record is e<)Ual to th a t of 1956, one in
70 A m ericans will be a stati.stic . . . a pain w racked sur­
vivor, o r a nam e in the o b itu a rj’ column.

Tu'o of the well-known ‘‘Dreame rs’* on campus for the past four
years are having to wake up to
hard reality during the month of
May. While smiling on the outside,
making gorgeous mood music for
the whole student body, they have
been — well, not exactly cryjng
on the inside — but they have had
their inner torments in t^elr strug­
gle to m aster “ concert music" for
their respective instruments, clari­
net and piano.
Jim m y (Jam es Carlton) Harris
had DO private music lessons dur­
ing all of bis gram m ar and high
school days in MiUbrook and Ral­
eigh. but be has m ade up for it
during his stay at Atlantic Chris­
tian College by having three dif­
ferent clarinet teachers. The grad­
uating recital which he will play
^ Howard chapel at 8:15 on the
Thursday evening. May 9, will show
^ result of work he has done with
p r. Millard Burt, former college
band director. Mr. WUliam Ram­
sey. present band director, and Mr
Lee Howard, who has coached Jim ­
my on interpretation.
Billy (William Nathaniel) F a r­
m er could almost count his pre-coll!* .*
lessons on two hands,
but. like Jim my, he had years of
€«TOrience just playing, mostly
