Learning To Drive After raising a child through the dangerous ages of babyhood, before he can really understand very much, and then the equally dangerous period of exuberant childhood, when new knowledge comes so fast, and the the child is so excited, that he sometimes doesn’t watch out for danger, we enter the most dangerous period of all, the period when the young man or woman can fully reason, but cannot yet fully control his passions for speed, danger, competition, and showing off. And at this age, we turn the young person loose with the most dangerous “weapon” ever devised by human ingenuity — not an atom bomb, but an invention which has killed in the past fifty years more humans, and maimed for life countless others, than any nuclear explosion yet perpetrated. Yes, the automobile. Really, isn’t it unthinkable that we let any person drive without being thoroughly familiar with the 200horsepower, 100-mile-an-hour vehicle that the modern auto is? For any parent it is a nerveracking experience to teach a youngster to drive. The United States is one of the few civilized countries in which a person can receive a driver’s license without a thorough driver’s training course. Certainly the state-provided test before licensing is good, but is it preventing thousands of those persons who are as yet not equipped for safe driving from taking to the highways? The four Adams county traffic deaths during July show that many are not yet ready for driving who think that they are. Drivers training courses in high school are helping cut accidents. But they need tremendous expansion. How many young drivers get night-driving experience, experience in passing and approaching slow vehicles on the highway, in interpreting the signals given by other drivers, or driving in unfamiliar situations, before they are licensed? Very few. One of the needed requirements is that every new driver have a minimum of profes-sionally-trained driver’s help before being licensed, and then only after full approval by the professional. Our state cannot afford the free service, it can only test. Schools would catch most of the drivers, but the large staff it would take to adequately teach driving just isn’t available. Professional driver’s trainers are about the only answer. Os course those trained bp school-sup-ported drivers training classes would qualify, but they . are not now reaching every beginning driver. So every parent should do two things: make certain that your children do not drive until they are adequately and professionally trained to meet every foreseeable driving situation by drivers training instruction either through a school or professionally outside the school. Second, talk or write to your elected state representative and senator, and urge them to sponsor and vote for laws requiring professional drivers training before licensing a new driver. ■ ■ -- ~Hf 4—o— I' '«

All of the supervisors have worked closely with Mr. Mac and his sons in pioneering soybean processing over the past quarter century. In 1937 the first European-designed solvent extraction plant in the U. S. was started at Decatur; in 1941, the company received the first of many patents for improved solvent extraction processes. To day, the company has processing plants located in the heart of the major soybean producing areas of the United States. Soybean oil, meal, and special products are produced on a 24-hour-a-day, seven days-a-week basis.

Inspector Giddings shook me until I was seeing double. Sellers, watching him, said casually, “I think you’re out of line, Inspector.” Giddings paused to look at Selters in surprise. "You mean you’re going to stand for that kind of talk ? You're going to let Mm pull that stuff and get away with it?” “Don’t make any mistake about the guy," Sellers cautioned. “He has braids. Now, just to keep the record straight, Lam, are you employed by Mrs. Crockett ?” I was having trouble getting my centers of speech to work. "He is employed by me," Mrs. Crockett said. “To do what?” Sellers asked. “To try and find out who is responsible for my husband's death." Sellers* eyes narrowed. “That takes in lots of territory." “Very well,” she said, “it takes in lots of territory. I want to cooperate with the officers, but I want to find out who killed my husband." “That's what we're paid for," Sellers said. “I understand that, and so does Mr. Lam. I’m quite certain you’ll continue to draw exactly the same compensation and work with the same efficiency. Now then, if you want my key to the studio, here it is.” She handed the key to Sellers, who nodded to Inspector Giddings. “AU right, Thad,” he said, “let’s go down and take a look at this studio. You understand, Mrs.’ Crockett, that you’re perfectly free to come along." 'lt’s quite all right,” she said, "I have nothing to conceal." • • - A third officer herded us Into the office where Wilbur Denton was banging away at the typewriter.

Denton looked up in surprise, said, "What do you mean?” The officer took a leather fold- 1 er from his pocket, showed him I the badge and his I.D. card. 1 “We’re taking charge." Denton looked up at the officer, ; then looked around at us. His face was a mask of startled surprise. “Dean Crockett has been murdered,” I explained. The officer turned to me. 'Tm doing the talking here.” I said nothing. Denton got to his feet. He looked as dazed as thougn someone had thrown a bucket of cold water in his face. “How’s that?” he asked. The officer took charge of the situation. "Your boss has been murdered. Now, what are you doing?” "I’m typing some records that he sent out to be transcribed.” “All right,” the officer said. "Take tt easy for a minute until Sergeant Sellers gets backs. He’s in charge. We’re going to want all those records transcribed, and then we’re going to want the original records so we can check the transcription . . . What’s on them?” “Some data about exploration in Borneo.” “Okay. There may be a clue in that stuff. When did you get the records ?” < "This morning." “Who gave them to you?” “Mr. -Olney.” The officer turned to Olney. “Where did you get them?” “Mr. Crockett gave them to me yesterday afternoon when he came out from his study. He told me to get in touch with Denton and be sure that the material was transcribed today.” “Then what?" "Then he went back to his study." The officer said, "AU right, you folks sit down here. Don’t go anyplace, don’t do anything.” He walked over to the door and looked through into the study where a photographer was taking pictures of the corpse and the , fingerprint man was dusting the : place for lateht prints. I could see the intermittent flashes of light reflected from exploding flash bulbs. The officer , started out by casually watching what was going on in the other room, then became interested. > Phyllis Crockett swayed close > to me, put her hand on mj* arm. - "Mt.

He said animals have heel bones as different as fingerprints of human beings.

Melvin Olney moved over to look past the officer’s shoulder into the interior of the room, trying to see what was going on. Denton seemed still in a daze. I said, “That's going to cost you money, Mrs. Crockett,” "I’ve got money.” "DO you think they can make out a case against you?” "Yes.” "Why?” "I’ve been framed.” "How do you know?" “I'm beginning to put two and two together now. The whole thing adds up.” “Who framed you?” “That,” she said, "is your job. I’ve got the money. That’s all I'm going to furnish. You’re going to have to furnish the brains, the ability, the experience and the energy.” "Get a lawyer,” I told her. “We’ll work with the lawyer.” "I don’t want a lawyer. For certain reasons, I can’t afford to get one.” A “Why?” “Because it would make me look guilty.” "Tell me why,” I said in a half whisper. "I have to know what I’m up against if I’m going to do you any good.” “It's a long story,” she said. “Very shortly after our marriage I realized that my husband didn’t think marriage made any difference as far as his attentions to other women were concerned. Dean thought it was all right for him to play Casanova but it was terrible if I even looked at anybody . . . The last three months of our married life have been simply 7 intolerable." “Why didn’t you divorce the guy?” “He held the whip hand an the way along the line —do you uni derstand what I mean, Donald? The whip hand." i “What about his will ?" I asked. , “Do you profit by his death?” "Well, I don’t know," she said. • “But I do know Dean told me that , if I ever sued for divorce he . could keep me from getting a , divorce, he could keep me from ; getting a dime of alimony, and when he died it wouldn’t do me a t bit of g00d...." t The door opened, and Frank r Sellers and Inspector Giddings r entered the room. ’ “AU right, folks,” Setters said, ‘let’s answer a few questions. e Mrs. Crockett, I’m going to begin with ydu.” 1 Why should Mrs. Crockett be so concerned about looking . guilty If she Isn’t?
