Barbara Lesher Alpha Chi Omega
Stalled cars, flat tires and miffed motorists are not just "obstacles along the course" for commuter Bill Long. Eudora sophomore. For him they are safety hazards and signals of distress which call for Pacer courtesy cards.
Long formed the club as a service organization for young men in Eudora, 7 miles east of Lawrence. Members are dedicated to safety, styling and restoring cars. He wrote the club by-laws last May, but impetus for the idea had started long before that.
With each card he gives the driver "a hand" with the flat, a smile to improve the disposition, and a few words about the Pacers' hot rod club.
Sophomore's Hot Rod Club Gets Hometown Sanction
Interest was centered in cars because there was not anything to do but drive around town at night. Neighbors complained that kids were racing and roaring around in hot rods. Douglas County Deputy Sheriff, John Miller "warned the kids" but the dragging and squalling continued.
Deputy Miller serves the town of 1,500 and could not always be on hand to "catch them in the act."
Idiots Out Racing
Long told the deputy: "The kids want to stay within the law and help keep others there. Given something constructive to do, the real hot rodders will not be just idiots out racing."
Miller thought their intentions and
initiative should "have a try." He agreed to help all he could. The city council also sanctioned the club because all the by-laws contain stipulations requiring the approval of either parents, deputy, city, or the State Highway Dept.
Mavor Delbert Adams thought something should be done. So he gave them a building, blessed their by-laws and said, "Boys, it's up to you."
When they moved the club headquarters from Long's upstairs study room to the "new" clubhouse they "found something to do."
Fertilizer Warehouse Club Site
The 65-year-old building is an abandoned fertilizer warehouse covered with rusty sheet metal. Adams bought cement for a floor to replace the rotting wood. The Pacers poured concrete, painted and patched all summer. Several businessmen gave them discounts or donated supplies. Service stations let them drain oil cans to get grease for their cars.
The Pacers gave away safety responsibility pamphlets for their first club project. Members are nledged to help motorists if they can. Most of the Pacers have mechanical skill. The ten members ranging in age from 18 to 23, rigged up lights, water and heat for the clubhouse from discarded city equipment and a gift stove which burns either coal or wood. Their furniture is an old round top table, two straight back chairs and a radio without a case.
Club Fines Assessed
Members keep themselves in check by assessing club fines when laws are broken or when citizens complain about a Pacer's driving.
Future projects include car safety checks, time trials, and an auto show. Adams said they may also be asked to help operate the city's new speed check equipment.
"Already people are saving the kids don't tear around like they used to," deputy Miller said. "We're glad they came to us. We can help them to help themselves."
Premier Gives Algeria Plan
CONSTANTINE, Algeria — (UP) Premier Charles de Gaulle today offered a revolutionary "five-year-plan" for the economic and social development of Algeria. He challenged the Moslem rebels to lay down their arms and build the country's future together with France.
"I have come here to announce to you the future of Algeria," he said.
Under his plan, de Gaulle said, at least one-tenth of the young men joining the French civil administration during the next five years must come from Algeria.
He said his five-year program also called for: Distribution of 500,000 acres of arable land to the Moslems; new jobs for 400,000 Moslems; all Algerian Moslems to go to schools.
