Which students receive one hour
of instruction each week.
The
courses feature at-the-wheel in

bile driving.
Many schools in the state now
include instruction in safety in
their curricula and the instruction
manual "Are Young Drivers Good
Drivers?" distributed by the sec
retary of state's office, is avail
able for these schools.
These
courses are designed to develop
proper attitudes of safe driving,
with the thought in mind that
those individuals with the proper
driving attitudes will be safer
drivers, Snell said.
"The schools in Oregon are do
ing splendid work in the safety
field," Snell said. "Students en
rolled in the various courses are
becoming definitely safety-minded
and that means that when they
start driving, they will be con
scious of the importance of devel
oping good driving practices as a
means of preventing accidents.”
An Intensive program of bicycle
safety is planned for this year,
the campaign being keyed to a
new bicycle manual being prepar
ed by the traffic safety division of
the state department. This manual
will be distributed to youngsters
of school age and will tie in with
the various local municipal bicycle
safety programs, it was said. It
will contain material relating to
the proper bicycle riding practices
and will outline the rules and reg-
