The only difficulty with late model cars is the driver. The driver has the power to operate the car any way h j or she '.'isnos. Every day when you pick up a paper or turn on your radio you got nows of a dreadful accident, where several persons were killed. The cause of all accidents is careless- ness on your part or the other driver's part. Drinking ■when driving is another foolish and careless example.

Your visibility is poor and your reaction slower bocauso it is late and you arc more tired than usual. Remember, the car is a mechanical device; tho driver can roerste that mechanism in any manner, safe or unsafe 1 Patrica Olmstcad '56
