KENTUCKY PROGRESS The citizens of Kentucky are taking pride in the claim made that in HZl the peopl of the Blue Grass 6tate inaugurated the first state road building program of the country.

WET STREETS On wet Etreets the careful driver is even more careful. Skidding, once started, is hard to 6top. Turning the wheels in the direction of the skid will help. But this is dangerous inasmuch as usually there arc cars, of children, or curbs, in the way. The only skid that you can control absolutely is the one that doesn't start! Slow, even turns; slow, even stops; slow, even starts will avoid skids. Do not disengage your clutch! , T'.re chains are of assistance on wet or muidy roads. Clear vision, obtained by windshield wipers, is also essential.
