Bulling, president, Evergreen Safety Council, the night driving hazard will increase this fall as the hours of darkness extend into the early evening and late afternoon commuter rush hours. Bulling cited National Safety Council statistics showing that the night mileage death rate in the U.S. is 7.4 fatalities per lO0 million vehicle miles traveled, while the daytime mileage rate is 2.9 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles. On weekdays, he said, the number of fatal accidents greatly increases between the hours of 4 and 8 p.m. Traffic congestion, haste and fatigue all contribute to the increased fatality toll during the evening commuting hours, he explained, but the earlier hours of darkness during the fall and winter months add an especially deadly component to the mix of rush hour hazards. "Darkness," Bulling said, "reduces the clarity of the visual cues essential for'safe driving. Judging distance and speed becomes more difficult, and a driver's peripheral vision is reduced," he added, "so that pedestrians and bicyclists along the roadside can seem to appear out of nowhere." The first rule of safe night driving, according to Bulling, is to slow down and stay alert. "Motorists often overestimate their night vision when they are driving in familiar areas," Bulling said, "because they easily can pick out objects that they are expecting along the roadway ahead. However, it takes much more time to recognize unexpected hazards at night," he added, "and that longer recognition time means that a driver must keep his speed down and his eyds moving in order to spot dangerous traffic situations before he drives into them." Night driving speeds, according to Bulling, can vary depending on visibility conditions, but a driver should never travel so fast that he cannot stop within the distance illuminated by his headlights. Under clear weather conditions and on a straight stretch of road, most low-beam headlights will illuminate the pavement ahead for a distance of about 250 feet, Bulling said. By comparison, he said, most automobiles can come to a complete stop within 226 feet on dry pavement from a speed of 55 miles per hour. However, headlight glare from an approaching car can reduce visibility to as little as 100 feet, Bulling said, and rain, haze or road conditions such as curves and hills can reduce vision even further while stopping distance remains the same or increases. Keeping headlights and other vehicle lighting systems properly maintained will maximize their efficiency, Bulling said, and he added that lights should be cleaned at every fuel stop along with the vehicle's windows. He advised cleaning lenses more frequently in wet weather when road spatter drying on the glass or plastic can cut illumination in half. Bulling also said that a check of headlight alignment should be part of every motorist's periodic vehicle maintenance checklist. "Proper headlight alignment is essential to put the most illumination on the road and to keep the beams out of other drivers' eyes," Bulling said. "A headlight beam that is out of alignment by one degree will be off-target by 21 inches at a distance of 100 feet," he added. According to Bulling, headlights - not parking lights - should be turned on just before dusk. "During the twilight hours, headlights may not make it much easier for a driver to see," he explained, "but they will make it easier for other road users to see him. Readily being seen," he said, "is almost as important an ingredient of safe night driving as seeing clearly." Bulling said headlights should be dimmed about 1,000 feet before meeting or overtaking another vehicle, and he advised drivers to avoid looking directly into the headlights of an oncoming car. Instead, he said, drivers should focus their eyes on the right edge of the road to maintain a steady lane position. "The human eye adjusts more Sunday Services 8:30 a.m ....

That means a motorist driving at 55 miles per hour would travel about 600 feet before he could see clearly after getting a dose of headlight glare." A driver's vision also can be improved by regular windshield and window cleaning - both inside and out. Bulling said many drivers neglect to clean the insides of vehicle windows and, as a result, a film builds up that reduces vision and increases glare. Because the film accumulates slowly, Bulling said, a driver may not be aware that his vision is being obscured. He recommended cleaning interior windows at least once a week, especially if vehicle passengers are cigarette smokers, since the smoke settles on window glass and adds to the grime build-up. As any night driver can attest, driving in the dark is more complicated and dangerous than driving in daylight. But, according to Bulling, safety on the road at night is largely a matter of preparation - preparing the vehicle and the driver to cope with the special hazards that come up when the sun goes down. DAMAGE REPORTED A complaint was received Nov. 15 in the sheriff's office from a resident of an apartment on the Old Belfair Highway that someone had entered and smashed speakers, torn out the telephone and broken a window.

Paul and Zelpha Dory had just retired in their aPartment behind the store when there was a sound like a loud clap of thunder and a large Douglas fir on the neighboring property to the south fell just in front of the store. Telephone and power lines went with it. The PUD crew was out on the North Shore on another call, saw the damage, and made a quick repair. Everyone expects the mail delivery to be a little later as Christmas approaches and so it is. However, that is not the only reason, according to our friendly, zippy mail carrier, Bob Sanders. His route continues to grow and he now officially leaves the Tahuya Post Office a half-hour later. Mail boxes on the route from Belfair to Tahuya have increased from 318 to 432 in a year and from Tahuya to Belfair over the hill from 39 to 92. Mail carriers now case their own mail at the post office, which adds to the work. Bob has requested the post Office department for some extra help but hasn't had an answer. He is training Sherill Witte to help. She is the wife of Gary Witte, new assistant to Avery Winslow, Belfair State Park ranger. i The post office department has been in for a lot of heavy criticism lately but we are lucky here to be served by friendly, helpful, cheerful people in the good old tradition of the post office. We saw AI Blomley the other day and found that he has been hobnobbing with royalty. During the recent visit to the Pacific Northwest of King Olav of Norway, AI attended the festivities in Seattle, had dinner with His Royal Highness, along with a number of other people, on Blake Island and later at a more informal party at Grieg Hall in Poulsbo. This is not the first time that AI has met King Olav. The first time was in 1939 when Olav visited this area as Prince Olav and again in 1968. AI remarked one great change and that was the noticeable increase in security in his most recent visit. AI describes him as a very friendly man, deserving of the name "the people's king." A baby seal was born on the Hedstrom-Kidwell dock last week. Several people noticed a rather agitated seal in and out of the water. Directly after the birth, the baby was introduced to his watery home and they both departed. We wish them well. GARDEN CLUB TO MEET Evergreen Garden Club will holds its Nov. 20 meeting at the North Shore home of Mrs. Alfred Pease, beginning at l 1:30 a.m. DOG LOST A large male German shepherd wearing a choke chain collar was reported lost on Sand Hill Road Nov. 12. ) Friends of Bob and Pat Ltenningsen are invited to attenJ an open house at their North Shore home, hosted by members of their family in honor of the couple's 25th wedding anniversary. It will be held from 8 to I1 p.m. on Nov. 22 and the Henningsens request "no gifts." The Henningsens were married in Baring, Wash., on Nov. 18, 1950. They have lived in Belfair ever since their marriage, where Pat is postmaster at Belfair Post Office and Bob is a logger. He is a member of the Belfair volunteer fire department and Pat is a former member of the women's auxiliary. They are associated with Belfair Community Baptist Church. The couple has one son, Walt, who also lives in Belfair, and two grandsons, Jason, 4, and Ken, 2.
