be slightly over half of the registered vehicles in Indiana. This at»o f.gan . .o be approximately one-’hird of the vehicles checked in the o 2 states that do not have a required program of this type. The significance of this is that it is through tne .‘imall programs such as held in Walkerton, North Liberty and all towns this size as well as the larger cities that Fil 'h a percentage in possible. The safety check lane is not mandatory and does not carry a fine if a car is found def“Ctive in i’s opera tk.i or oq u pment. However. anything showing up cn this check is reported to the Iriver and asked that it be c rrocted. No sticker is issued to any car that doesn’t meet the ten requirements of the safety check.

Many persons regard such as this a folly but h safety chec k disclosing defec’s in an automobile can save a life. Even though the ten points included in this check appear to be minor things a horn, a head lamp or a tail light can prevent an act ident if operating properly. Combined with the safety of . car. the precautions that .arc used in drivi’ g and the elements necessary for an accident, are cut tremendously. Faulty cars are blamed in a small percentage of accidents, but this small percentage when figured of the 37.000 persons kill' d annually in accidents and the millions that are injured, constitute a large number of person.* as well as dollais in proper* v dan ige. Walkerton and North Liberty will have safety Che k lanes sit up over different perods of turn to check all cars that owners desire to have checked. Also, . ifety check lanes are always set up in other areas by state police and city pole e in the cities around. Everyone will have an opportunity’ at one time or another to get their car checked. This few minuteu may’ save much time
