Better drivers are in prospect for Wyandotte because of a state law which went into effect February 1 requiring teen agers lbelow 18 years of agel to take a course in driver training. Many amusing things occur as youthful boys and girls grab the wheel to practice what they learned in classroom instruction and learning to drive is an experience that will remain in the memories of Roosevelters. Drivers Training There is a serious side to the project, also, and by the time the student finishes classroom instruc- tion and has a few hours of actual driving in- struction, he will know that the most dangerous nut on the entire car is the one behind the wheel. He will also know that sane driving is one of the recipes tor a long and happy life. Roosevelters took their driving seriously and will never succumb to a desire for insane speed, solely for the sake of showing off.
