It is only natural that they should hare this hope. And cer--talnly the automobile is a great convenience when It is properly used. ' But" the: question, occurs to me, "When these boys and girls rrow up and learn to drive the family car, and later buy cars of their own, what kind of driv ers will they be? Will they have a ' better understanding of traf fic problems than the older folks, and will they be' better all-around ! drivers?' " i . i You boys : and girls, will have a bis: part in answering this question. You can play this part property by telling yourselves, before you ever learn to drive, that you realize how important the matter of safety on the high ways is: that you real's how foolish it is to be a "show -of V or a reckless driver, who may kill himself or someone else through , jh is carelessness; that you' will always treat pedestrians and other drivers with unvary ing courtesy. Here's another point that is sometimes overlooked: You will Save money by bein:; careful.
