THE DRIVER'S SEAT that will help them avoid death. Custer Village SoiId Calendar A part of "The Living Desert" a Walt Disney nature movie portrayed the different forms of life that; appeared after darkness settled on the American land of sand and stone.

Strange specimens like scorpions emerged from their earthly homes to prowl in search of their prey. Unusual desert dwellers like kangaroo rats and jumping mice came forth lo roam the range between dusk and dawn. The lenses of the movie cameras captured on film a whole new world of creatures that, live and thrive in the dark because the lenses of their eyes enable them to see when the light is dim. Motorists driving across the desert or in other parts of the country, too also discover a new world awaiting them after dusk descends. Human eyes are designed to sec best in the daylight and drivers find many new dangers facing them when driving at night.

One prevalent problem is overdriving the headlights of the car -or going so fast you cannot stop in the distance between the lime the lights pick up an obstacle ahead and the necessary space to brake the car to a slop. Drivers who do not adjust their speed downward when darkness comes find not new forms of life, but new forms of death waiting for them. Statistics of the National Safely council show it is about, three times as dangerous to drive when it's dark as it is during daylight, based on the number of deaths per mile driven. The most deadly lime lo be traveling on the highways is between 4 and 8 p.m. Twenty-six percent of all fatal accidents happen during that period.

Not only is traffic heavy during early evening hours, but the twilight plays tricks on the eyes and gives objects a grey tinge that causes (hem to blend together indistinctly. Another period of peril is from p.m. to midnight, when some 21 percent of highway fatalities are reported. And from midnight to -I a.m., another 17 percent of deadly wrecks occur. The deadly time from dusk to dawn deals oul 64 percent of these fatalities, although the amount of driving is greatly reduced.

will never develop special sight faculties to penetrate the blackness of night. But they can do several things to help dispel the dangers of nighttime driving. They can follow safely suggestions and reduce speed during this dangerous time. They can provide courses of instruction that teach motorists how to drive at night. They can learn to use traffic aids such as 24-hour-a-day.

signs that can be seen after dark and mark corners, curves, obstructions and other hazards.
