Nineteen accidents out of 20
are due to human failures.
Someone once said, "Most au
tomobile accidents aren't ticci
dents at all they're foregone con
elusions." Persons, not cars or
highways, cause most automobile
accidents.
According to information re
leased by the Driver Training in
structor of Northeast high school,
young drivers could be America's
pest drivers, although they have a
record much poorer than aver
age. This is due to their inexperi
ence and fast driving, although it
may also be because they drive at
night, on week ends, and holidays,
when accidents occur in greater
numbers.
Nevertheless, young drivers are
In good health and have excellent
coordination and keen minds. If
this fact were applied to driving
habits, the present accident rate
would be reduced.
Among the danger signs of un
safe driving is speeding, which
alone causes nine out of 10 acci
dents. "Haste makes waste" in
heavy traffic, at intersections, on
curves and hills, on slippery roads,
in foggy weather and when driv
ing after sundown. .
Other accidents are caused by
losing control of the car, passing
in dangerous areas, parking ille
gally, and failing to give proper
signals.
In terms of psychological effect
on the drivers a car becomes big
ger, more powerful and faster. A
car, for example, can travel nearly,
thirty times as fast as a person on
foot. The distance required to stop'

Museum Displays Bodies

The Peruvians also believed that
coca leaves gave the spirit

The mummies are sufficiently

in mummifying bodies than the

consisted of linen cloth medicated
with bitumen, spices and gums.
The wrapped body was encased
in a coffin, and occasionally two
coffins.
Unwrapped mummies are some
times black, depending on the
spices used in the wrappings, and
the features of the face resemble
burned pieces of paper. The heads
of nobleman are light and look
more like chipped wood.

killed and two seriously injured.

Using the basic principles of engineering and science he designs,
develops and tests jet aircraft or guided missiles for specific military
missions. His tools are his college training, the company's 35 years of
experience in fighter aircraft design, the knowledge available from basic
-
and applied research in many fields, the excellent facilities for research
and testing and the cooperative efforts of his fellow engineers. Under
youthful leadership he perfects his technical skill and develops his
ability to direct others in the design and production of jet aircraft and
guided missiles.
Engineering, the jet aircraft and guided missiles of tomorrow
requires the application of knowledge from many fields. Technical
assignments are available in such types of work as the design and analy
sis of specialized electronic components, structural and hydraulic testing,
structural and rrfechanical design, applied aerodynamics, power plant
analysis and testing, stress and vibration analysis and flight testing.
