Negro Unit Os 2nd Division Making History * MIGHT BECOME LEGENDARY With the U. S. Second Infantry Division in Korea — 1 (ANP) - “It might be the legendary outfit of the 2nd Division when the war is over. They’re doing a great job, no kidd ing.” That compliment was paid to a Negro outfit of artillery by a 2d Di vision headquarters soldier who has been keeping an eagle eye on the unit since It was first committed into action over a month ago In Korea. * The unit Is one of two Negro com bat battalions now fighting with the Indianhead division. The other out fit is an infantry battalion which, until the UN drive in mid-Septem ber, was part of a special task force defending the airstrip at Pohang. The artillery battalion, with its 18 155 mm howitzers, is the heaviest part of the division’s artillery force. Its job is to gi*e general support to the entire division. For more than a month the unit has been pounding the Reds along the bloody Naktong river route and the standard it has set is a chal lenge to member units of the divi sion. The booming blast from one of its big weapons can reach out and strike the enemy 10 miles away with a 95-pound projectile. DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES WARNING One hundred fourteen Floridians have walked themselves to death so far this year, according to the Flor da Highway Patrol, in outlining the objectives of their October program of traffic safety education. Safety Director H. N. Kirkman referred to statistical studies made by the National Safety Council to support his contention that pedes trian deaths rise sharply with the increasing number of hours of darkness of September, October, and November until they reach a staggering high in December. "The big jump in pedestrian deaths,” Kirkman said, "Comes In October when these fatalities leap to about 25 per cent above the monthly average for the rest of the year. Tn breaking down this figure, it is significant to find that about 71 per cent of all the pedestrians kill ed in October suffer this fate dur ing the hours of darkness.” Two widespread pedestrian mis conceptions were cited by the State Patrol as big factors in that group’s annual nighttime death toll. "The misconception that has probably led to more pedestrian deaths than any other single cause” Kirkman said, "is the pedTestrlan's mistaken notion that HE is as vis ible to oncoming drivers as the headlights of the car make IT to him. He fails to realize that the driver he can see approaching near ly a mile away may not actually see him walking In the roadway until he is just a few yards away. The results can be disastrous. Kirkman pointed out that the other major factor leading to such accidents is the pedestrian’s in ability to judge distances and speeds accurately at night, of pedestrians who THOUGHT they “The files are full of the records had time to cross the street before the approaching headlights were on them,” he said. The Florida Highway Patrol out lined the following safe walking rules for particular observance at night: 1. Obey ah trafic signs and sig nals. 2. Look both ways before stepp ing into the street. 3. Take into account the fact that approaching cars are probably travelling mach faster than they seem. 4. Remember that the driver can not see you until practically on top of you. 5. Wear something white at night. 6. Walk facing oncoming traffic If no sidewalks are available. ADVERTISE! PATTERSON URGES HIGHER LEVEL FOR ALL GREENSBORO, N. C. - "Since this is the century of the common man, it is the century when the ideals of human freedom can be nourished in every human breast. We must continue to have faith in the American dream of democracy —we must never doubt that we can help to make that dream a reality” said Frederick D. Patterson, presi dent of Tuskegee Institute yid of the United Negro College Fund, as he addressed the students, faculty and friends of Bennett College on Sunday, October 1. The service was followed by the formal opening of | the non-resident students room of the Student Union Building. Emphasizing the challenge of the second half of the century, Dr. Pat terson characterized the first of the century as exemplary of individual achievement In the various areas of I living. In the years ahead, he stat •ed, there must be a higher level of I achievement for all rather than a few. To bring this about, he was emphatic in his plea for the accep tance of civic responsibility, an un selfish and wholehearted participa tion in worthy social movements, and finally a spirit of tolerance. President David D. Jones, who presided, introduced the speaker and H. H. Holder, director of religious activities, conducted the deyotionals. Music was under the direction of Mrs. Carrie Kellog FCay.
