His Reward was a sentence to the penal farm ulv re he had but Little use for his collection of Caps. So look out Hoys. 20 years ago in Greencastle Quot it can to happen that said sergeant Watts at the sch it it Ltd bus Drivers conference in the High school building last night is the attitude of most people who read about tragic traffic happen nos elsewhere but think nothing of that sort will happen in their own Community. But. He said it does happen soon or late. Present at the meeting were the school bus Drivers who transport Pup is to the Greencastle consolidated school and also Thore were present sheriff Lawrence Graham. Deputy sheriff Tom Vandiver City police chef Edward Maddox. City police officer Berkley Watson. Also some of the future citizens of Greencastle and Vicinity yet in school. Sergeant Watts is connected with the police traffic Bureau. With him at the meeting was George Hecko state police officer living in Green cast and working out of the Putnamville Barracks school superintendent Paul Boston presided at the gathering. Sergeant Watts called attention to the fact that in the year 1895 there were but four automobiles in the United states two Cylinder maxwells with crude engines no wind she teds. No lights. He said an owner of one of our earliest autos never left his farm Home driving his Aulo without being sure his son was at Home with a team of horses to haul the Auto Back Home if needed. Now. Tin sergeant said there Are Many millions of automobiles h go Speed cars equipped with from 60 to 145 horse Power engines and potential causes of violent injury and death among human beings. Speaking of what momentum is by comparison the sergeant said the Shock to a human being in an automobile stopped against an immovable object at a Speed of ten Miles an hour would be the same As if that human being were dropped a distance of three feet a Speed of 33 Miles an hour suddenly stopped would produce a Shock like that of a fall of go feet and a Speed of 80 Miles an hour instantly checked would Shock the Driver and passengers just As much As if they had fallen a distance of 210 feet. A Driver with headlights in Good condition on i new car. Can see a train or a tree across the Road a proximal try 200 feet ahead. If the car is travelling 60 Miles an hour at the moment the obstruction is seen anti the Driver uses not More than one second in shifting his foot from the accelerator to the brakes and in applying the brakes full strength he will travel 88 feet before the brakes Start to to effective leaving 112 feet of Tho 200 in which to get the car stopped before hitting Tho obstruction. But the Driver would have difficulty in getting stopped. At a Speed of 80 Miles an hour the car cannot he stopped and Thero is nothing for the Driver to do hut get braced for the inevitable collision. Sergeant Watts then took up details of problems in the experiences of school bus Drivers. One of the masters discussed in some detail is that of making an affidavit against an offender of the Law requiring All vehicle Drivers to Stop to permit children to get in the Clear when entering or leaving school buses. He cautioned Tho school bus Drivers against sweating that the owner of an offending Auto Whoso License number tile bus Driver secures is the person driving the Auto when it is driven past the bus. It is very embarrassing to court officers to find that a bus Driver has put them on the spot by causing the arrest of a person for that offence when that person was Able to show he was not in the Vicinity. Thore a a form which can be followed he stated by which the officers can compel the owner As Revoy led by the License record to reveal the Driver in the car at the time the offence was Pany to quiet title defendant ruled to answer complaint by april 10.
