Shell Again Hits
At "Screwdriver"
Share-the-Road Club Is
Popular With Drivers
Over Country
Following up the success scored
last year Shell Oil company. Inc.,
is again featuring this season the
popular "Share-the-Road" club,
which was created to launch a
crusade against the discourteous
motorists on our streets and high
ways, according to J. E. Puhlman.
local manager for the company
here.
The club will focus Its attention
this year on another menace the
"Screwjay." He Is the pedestrian
who against traffic signals crosses
the street in the middle of the
block and disrupts the steady
flow of cars, increasing stop-and-go
driving. The "Screwjay" is
step-brother to the "Screwdriver,"
and leading traffic experts agree
that together they are responsible
for more than one-third of all
stop-and-go delays in traffic.
New and Improved emblems are
being featured this year, and will
be given to motorists who wish to
display their colors as being in
sympathy with this national
movement on the part of Shell to
increase Interest in better traffic
manners. These emblems do dou
ble duty in that they glow at night
and still maintain the same design
as last year marine signal flags
in color against a gold back
ground. Tiny crystal beads cover
the emblem and reflect the light
when headlights are focused on
them.
Local police and traffic author
ities have hailed this program as
being In line with their efforts to
promote better manners on the
busy streets, materially reducing
the annoyance caused by unnec
essary stop-and-go driving.
