J. Rush. Chief of Polke In reporting on the brake-check program belag conducted by Sooth C!aroUna law- enforcement officers. During the first four weeks of the nationwide brake cheok program over 10,000 cars have been inspected by police officers in South Carolina and 1,904 were found with dangerous brakes. In addition, many motorists whose brakes barely met the check require ments were ’ urged to have their brakes tested at re@|lr shops and ad justed or repaired If necessary. '•Results so fkr are gratifying.'' Chief Rush said. “Motorists have been very cooperative and the police be lieve that by the time the pro^m is completed Juno 1, the cars in our State will be considerably more a^e on the average than they were at tne start of the program. “Police officers report that most motorists contacted are genuinely in terested in making their cars last People are beginning to realize that their cars mast not only last for the duration of the war but for long per iods after tht war.’’ Reports on the nation-wide results of this brake check program cover ing 41 states reveal that 16 per cent of the cars inspected could not meet the brakexbeck requirement. South (Carolina's percentage of unsafe brakes was slightly higher reaching 18 per cent “For this program to be completely successful, motorists should volun tarily have their cars inspected at re pair shops, not only their brakes but other parts that have to do with safety,’’ reminded Chief Rush.
