Confusion Arists Ovtr Right-Of-Woy Privilege Have you ever wondered at the audacity of the driver, who after waiting for some time at a side street while trying to enter a through highway, finally bulls his way into the traffic stream, per haps escaping a collision by inches? Thst driver may be taking a chance, but at least the law ia on hia side. And according to the atate traffic safety division, it is a law that few drivera know and fewer atill obey. Many who are familiar with the law have acquir ed their knowledge through a dam age auit or traffic fine, the division ssid. This is the way the aw works. A vehicle stopping as required at the entrance to an arterial high way must yield to all vehicles with in the intersection or approaching so closely as to be an immediate hazard. After having yielded to these vehicles, he may then eater the highway, and all vehicles ap proaching on the through highway must yield to him. Confusion arises over the fact that vehicles often continue to ap proach rapidly on the through highway and may constitute a con tinuous hazard. According to the law, however, only those close enough to be a hazard at the time the other vehicle stopped hsve the right-of-way. The problem ia one which could be best solved through common courtesy behind the wheel safety officials pointed out.

Then slowly, slowly it sinks. But there is time-still time-if' only someone is near, someone who-knows what to do. A twelve-year-old boy, a woman, an old man-ANYONE, if only he KNOWS." And the wonderful thing is that there are mil lions who DO know what to do and how to do it. Last year alone, you-through your Red Cross made it possible to train more than a half-mil-. lion people in water safety. Another 56,600 were authorized as instructors in water safety and first aid. It is estimated that 18,000,000 have had training in first aid and water safety through your Red Cross. Many of these people are able to save human life-priceless human life. How much is this ability worth? It's hard to say-unless it is some one you love who has been rescued. Your contributions to your Red Cross can help carry on this training program, help take it to new areas that need it. Give now it may save a life sooner than you think.
