curb the continual slaughter on the highways, the mechanical problems of a vehicle arc nnt the point at fault. It is still the person behind the wheel that either has little or no respect for the law, or will not adjust his driving to conditions whether they arc weather, road or personal. A safe vehicle is a good thing and again we would urge everyone to have their car safety checked and many faults that are found corrected. These lanes will be set up at various times and places for the next few weeks. Be a conscientious driver and car owner and sport the safety checked sticker on the lower right side of your windshield.

However, they may decline moderately for several years. 1937 101 Students Neither Absent or Tardy.
