Back On The Road Again Corsicana Daily Sun, Friday, June 30, 1972-5A. For Ennis Landfill --i- Tips for Safer Trips By GARY EDMONDSON Golden Circle Editor So, planning on a little trip over the upcoming long weekend. Are you planning to make it back According to the Dept, of Public Safety about 60 Texans will fail to make their trips round-trips this weekend. Admittedly a clique of 60 persons from the entire state might bestow a certain amount of chic upon its members. However, as resident roadrunner for the Sun, I feel a certain obligation to warn the readers about their driving habits, and First, get the big things out of the and trucks own the highways.

Yes, they blithely ignore all speed limits. Yes, they hover above your bumper till they have time to pass. Yes, they treat highway laws with reckless (hopefully wreckless) abandon. But cross them! They outweigh your car and are probably going faster, too, which means that buses and trucks have Don friend Mo Mentum on their side. A bus or truck could roll over most cars and keep on rolling as if they had only smashed a turtle.

Not wanting to hedge too much from what said, I will add that while what said applies to all buses and their drivers, you can get a square deal and a fair shake from a lot of trucks and truckers. Many truckers will pull over on the shoulder to let you pass. But what is more important, is their code of the road that says, thy fellow travellers of impending speed When no one else will provide a warning, a truck driver will blink his lights to let you know that the Highway Patrol is waiting for you half-way down the next hill. Thus, when you receive the warning, give a friendly wave and Slow Down. Then be sure to wave at the patrolman as you pass.

He will probably extend you a similar greeting since you are driving within the speed limit, which is what he wants anyway. Speaking of speed traps, the are right: Over the Have-a-Day-Off-without-Knowing-Why-Weekend, easier to say than write) I was nearly swamped off the road by the constant stream of cars going 10-15 miles per hour faster than driving the speed limit. Now this raises an interesting (to me) If hurrying to get to your vacation destination, you must know by now that by going 10-15 mph above the speed limit it will take you four or five hours to actually gain an hour of time. Thus, if you are going to be on the road long enough to make your speeding worthwhile, you will also be on the road so long a time that you might as well stay home, since the weekend will be consumed by driving. I made the trip from Corsicana to Nacogdoches periodically for two-and-a-half years, and by the end of the first year I knew that regardless of whether I drove 60 or 80 the trip was going to take about two hours and, also, that my gas mileage was much better at one of the speeds than at the other.

This is sufficient for people going places, but what about those returning? Speeders in this second category are similar to those who wait until the last minute and then drive like A. J. Foyt to make a meeting on time. The same reasoning provides a solution to both groups: If the place you are going, even home, lacks the importance to cause you to leave in time to get there without speeding, then it also lacks the importance to cause you to want to go there at all. If coming home is such a traumatic experience that it is to be avoided until the last possible moment, then why not avoid it entirely? If you hate where you are, move.

If you likewise hate where you are going, go. Yes, this sounds simple It is simple, but not as simple as you are if you ignore the reasoning behind it. Now that dodging trucks, avoiding speed traps and avoiding speeding, we must push on with an investigation of that other great cause of all heard the cliches about driving and drinking (if too drunk to walk too drunk to drive, etc.) but what driving and drinking boils down to is simply giving a damn. Okay an egoist whose only concern is your own pleasure, and you care if you crash into a car full of people as long as you get hurt personally. Then to Hell with charity.

If so interested in preserving number one, why get out on the road in the first place with these idiots who spend all winter puttering about town? Why subject yourself to the risk sober, much less in a condition when you are completely at their mercy. Now if you do care about the then you have to be aware of how much you can drink and how much you have drunk prior to heading for the open road. Most people cannot drink near as much as they think they can without being so try this test. If been drinking a little (always a little, regardless of the amount) bend down and touch your toes. If this is the first time been able to do this in 10 years, had too much.

Also, if you find yourself administering a close-up inspection of the carpet had too much and your best bet is to stay on flat on the floor luitil it stops spinning and then trv the test again. You may feel that my suggestions will take all the excitement away from your weekend, but I assure you that any drive in this iu-ea, at any time, will give you ample turning left from the right lane; people making their turns on red lights; little children and dogs dashing into the street; and the list goes on ad infinitum, ad nauseum. So I defend myself as one who is not trying to take all the fun out of driving, but as one who is trying to put more fun in youi- driving by helping you to drive longer. (Besides, that last ride in a hearse is pretty slow.) I also must confess that not entirely altruistic in my driving liints. You see.

going to be on the road over this holiday as I am on any day and one of the goals I bear in mind while driving is to do eveHyllxing possible to be on the road, again.

The people of Enchanted Oaks have petitioned tiie Henderson County Commissioners Court for an election to incorporate. Their aim is not to mushroom tiieir completely residential area into a booming area complete with liquor stores and clubs, but to protect their community from just such a happening. Malakoff attorney Kd Heiclielt, who lives at Enchanted Oaks, serves as legal advisor for incorporation forces.

He that the driving forces bt'iund tiu' move are the residents' fears of annexation by such wet neighbors as Gun Barrel City and tiieir equally strong desires to maintain the current building restrictions at the subdivision. Reiciielt describes the restrictions as elaborating that (he code bars mobile homes and businesses. He adds, feel we can enforre restrictions better" by organizing a city and making thr current subdivisions restrictiiins part of a building code. If the new town of Enchanted Oaks receives a charter, it will, the incorpi'ration proceedings. The germ incorporation has remained strong throughout due to the residents' dislike of the of being annexeti any neighbc'r.

Reichelt said individual donations ranging from $10-25 have created an operating fund of about $1,200.

This money will defray the cost of elections, operational expenses, surveying and, as the Enchanted Oaks residents hope, operating the city until the first tax money is collected. Tlie drive to incorporate area began nearly a year ago on July 4, 1971, when, according to Reichelt, 300 people met at the swimming pool to talk iihoiit settiny un their own Oaks, Heichelt says, the in- organization will simply tiie boundaries to include more people and submit an amended request for a townsiiip election.
