Snow Depth More In Many Areas by: Boyd Wilson Several years ago the automobile horn was outlawed in Memphis Tenn A special ordinance made it illegal to sound the slighest beep inside the city limits because police and safety officials thought horn blowing was more of a nuisance than a necessity. It had some surprising results. Many taxicabs disconnected their horns. Drivers said the temptation to blow their horn in traffic was always great and it was safer to remove them. An elbow might touch the horn accidentally which could prove both costly and em barrassing. Fines for violation of the anti-horn blowing law ranged from $10.00 upwards. It was effective, and visitors to the city often commented on how quiet Memphis was. A group of women in the East Memphis Women's Club asked the city to install an automobile horn in the museum or set one up in a park so children would know what ons looked and sounded like. A visiting motorist from Mississippi evaded the ban on horn blowing. He attached an electric doorbell to the side of his car and drove through the heart of Memphis ringing his bell nirtrily Police scratched their heads, but allowed him to pro ceed. Motorists and pedestrains guffawed. If all the motorists in the world were wide awake ancj all the pedestrains w atch'll where they wre going, there would be no need for automobil horns. But I know many a tight spot a polite keep-beep of the horn has got me out of. All the cars on our used car lot have horns., a wide variety of sounds because we have a wide avrietv of used cars. All the horns work, because we don't sell any cars in Memphis, Tenn., and everything else in the cars we sell works too. This w eek w e have a real sharp 1952 Buick 4-door Roadmaster Sedan.
