Messner President, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, and De­ puty Secretary of Department of Revenue, Commonwealth, of Penn­ sylvania. Most safety experts will agree that the ultimate solution of the safe driver problem rests in the development of the proper driver attitude. Those of us who are charged with responsibility of keeping an official eye upon the traffic situation in our respective states know that bad driving has been at the bottom of nearly every accident we have recorded. Chance-taking speedsters, poor judgment at a curve, failure to outguess the other fellow in the desire to heat him to it, along with a hundred and. one. other little faults in the driver's attitude, have been piling up a national casualty record, which has made that of the terrible war just ended seem almost insignificant. All of these faults just men­ tioned could have been corrected by proper training when the oper­ ator first began to learn how to drive a car. However, the success of that training, like the success of all training, would depend en­ tirely upon the attitude of the person receiving it. All the train­ ing in the world will not over­ come the erratic actions of a born fool. Only by the most se­ vere punitive measures can lie"be handled and restrained. The development of proper driver attitude is divided into two separate phases: Co( recting •the faults of present drivers and training future drivers. The first phase is that of en­ deavoring to correct the driver attitude of present-day drivers who have had little or no train­ ing and who may have- bad driv­ ing hal^ts of long standing. Only by utilizing every channel and vehicle of propaganda; through the medium of the press, the radio the motion picture, the spoken word; by organized local cam­ paigns and intensive cooperation by ail civic organizations and civic minded individuals can the indi­ vidual at the wheel of the car to­ day be made safety conscious. The same kind of patriotic ap­ peal must be made to them as is made in behalf of the Red Cross, ‘Communiity Chest, the Salvation Army and other worthy causes. In other words, civic conscious­ ness must be aroused before the individual driver can fully ap­ preciate and carry out, not only his responsibility to himself and his family, but to the other fellow and the community at large. That phase of the driver pro­ blem is by far the most difficult because it must deal with a great number of pv-yja who today are driving motor vehicles with reck­ less disregard for their own lives and those of their fellowmen. It will require tremendous effort and a heavy expenditure of funds if it i3 to be far-reaching enough to get the desired results. That re­ sults can be obtained has been de­ finitely proved. ~ Where there have been inten­ sive civic safety movements and intensive publicity, the traffic casualty list has gone down. We have had that experience in Pen­ nsylvania since last August, when the Governor’s Safety Campaign was inaugurated. There has been constant activity and organized effort in every section of our Commonwealth. Fatalities have decreased along with injuries and accidents. In Pennsylvania, we have been so encouraged by the results, that we propose to add still greater impetus to the cam­ paign in the days ahead. We be­ lieve we are giving it the leader­ ship that any such campaign must haver The other phase of the driver attitude problem is safety educa­ tion in the schools. Thei’e has been steadily increasing interest and considerable action in this field in recent months. Education is the real solutiion of the driver attitude problem. To develop the proper driver and pedestrian attitude there must be an intensive educational program in all of the schools of the country, starting at the verj foundation with the kindergarten where the child gains its first real impressions of life and begins forming those habits which very often cling throughout a lifetime. These little ones are the poten­ tial drivers. If they learn to drive right, they will conserve human life rather than destroy it.Teacl the youvg generation the meaning FARMALL TRACTOR -AND— McCORMICK----- DEERING PARTS----- SERVICE ------ SALES Opekaslt Center HARRY IIAVBRTY, M<g’r Jeffersonville, Ohio Phone 3301 You can’t match the "heart” BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST World's Champion Valve-in-Head Designl \ The new Chevrolet Is the lowest-priced motor car with a Valve-in-Head Engine— the type of car engine which holds ell records for efficiency—for giving maxi­ mum power from every ounce o f fueL Moreover, Chevrolet’s Vaho-in-Head En­ gine Is the “champion of champions” on all these counts: (1) Valvo-In-Head perform­ ance a t lowest prices; (2) billions of miles of service to owners; and (3) number of owners served.

CHEVROLET CUMMINGS CHEVROLET SALES ‘TheCloak’Is SecondNew. PlayByGroup Old St. Petersburg in the year 1840 is the scene of “The Cloak,” second brand new play of the season to he given its pre Broad­ way production by the Yellow Springs Summer Theater. It dpens next Wednesday at the old Yellow Springs Opera House and will run nightly through Sunday with an 8:46 p. m. curtain. An unusual feature of this world premiere presentation is that the author, the Summer Theater’s versatile Arthur Lith- of traffic laws, the killing poten­ tialities of the automobile, the rules of the road, the obligation of courtesy to others and the vi­ tal necessity of making sure at all times that the cars they are driving are mechanically perfect. If you teach them all that, then you will have come as close to having, developed the proper driver attitude as it is humanly possible to do. We have a grave and dangerous problem in the millions of bad drivers we must cope with today. Only by the most stringent mea­ sures of enforcement and educa­ tion can we solve it. The probelm of tomorrow—that of the poten­ tial driver—can and will he sol­ ved by education. gow, actor, director and play­ wright, will hold the chief role of Leonid, narrator and romantic lead of the show.* Based on a famous short story of the same title by Nicolai Go­ gol, “‘The Cloak” is a tender,and moving tale of a humble clerk in the governmental offices of “the old regime” in Russia. Fearing the oncoming bitter Russian win­ ter, he tries to persuade a tailor who lives at his boarding house to patch up his tattered old cloak; hut. is told that it is beyond re­ pair and he must buy a new one. Neatly .interwoven with the story of the poor copyist’s strug­ gle to realize his dream of a warm new cloak is the romance of Leonid and Teresa. The color­ ful characters of Olga, hard boil­ ed landlady; Stepan, a self-im­ portant bureaucrat; Petrovich, the drunken tailor; and Kashtan- ka, his shrewish wife also enter the picture. Finally, a dash of the supernatural adds an interest­ ing and whimsical touch to the final curtain. Representatives of several Hol­ lywood film studios and New York dramatic companies will he att­ ending the Yellow Springs pre­ sentation of “The Cloalc“ to scout the play’s possibilities for movie adaptation and Broadway pro­ duction . With its moments of laughter and'romance, coupled with excite­ ment, ghosts and some sly digs at Russian municipal bureaucracy, the'new script gives high promise of following “Bite the Dust,” (the Summer Theater’s other original play of the season, already sched­ uled for Broadway production by Jose Ferrer) on to the big time. Mr. Lithgow and Claire Krich, who did an outstanding job to­ gether in “The Time of Your Life,” will again be sweethearts of the stage in “The Cloak.” -Mere­ dith Dallas, taking his third ex­ pressive character part of the season, plays the meek copyist, while Irving Brown is the pomp­ ous Stepan, a combination bureau­ crat, .stuffed shirt and wolf. Other top luminaries of the Summer Theater in the support­ ing cast, stars and directors of earlier shows’ this season, are Arthur Lewis, Joan Morris, David W. Hooks, Allyn Moss and Mack M. Greene.
