MORRISON Furniture Company Check Brakes, Tires and Motor of Car, Also Yourself. An especially urgent plea is be ing broadcast by the authorities to all automobile and truck drivers and to all fleet operators, to put their motor vehicles in the best possible condition for safe oper ation prior to the opening of school this fall. The urgency of their plea is in spired by re-examination of esti mated school enrollment figures for this year, which indicate an In crease of a million or more on a nationwide basis. The larger part of this increase is expected to come from among the beginners, the youngsters who will be going to school for the first time in their lives. These are the children who have little if any instruction in how to safeguard their own life and limb in traffic. These likewise are the young sters whose sense of personal re sponsibility is least developed, and whose safety in traffic, prior to in struction in school and the setting up of school safety patrols, is large ly dependent upon the alertness and skill with which the motor ve hicle driver operates his own car. And since a great part of the safe operation of a motor vehicle is dependent upon its mechanical condition, attention now is riveted on making certain that the car will respond to any emergency action required of the driver. To this end authorities urge that brakes be tested now to make cer tain that they are functioning prop erly; that steering gear be checked for smooth responsive operation: that treads on tires be examined against wear that leads to skidding, and that a second thought be given to the alacrity with which motors react to the throttle. Motorists are also advised to be certain that windshield wipers are functioning properly to insure good vision in bad weather. Most of all. the motorist himself is urged to try to bear in mind constantly when motoring near a school that alertness is essential to avoid harming the irresponsible youngster who may. without think ing. dart from the curb in the mid dle of a block. The vast increase in the number of cars on the road as well as the increase in the number of pycils who will be going to school Tkis year also must be considered. Cited further as an important problem in traffic safety this year is the growing proportion of pre occupied or districted drivers on the streets and highways during this period of national emergency. Though the fatality rate among elementary school children has been lowest of any age group for many years, more children, more cars, more worried drivers, have resulted in an upswing of this rate despite the growth of school safety patrols and the spread of safety in struction. To help combat this trend Amer ican Automobile Association clubs are posting “School’s Open” signs as a reminder to motorists, and they also are distributing bumper strips reading “School’s Open — Drive Carefully” to members. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hanley of Tampa, Fla., visited the latter’s brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Addison, and other rela tives here briefly enroute to High lands, N.
