Persons unfamiliar with the op eration of motor vehicles often fail to judge correctly the speed of ap- proaching vehicles and often they underestimate the distance neces- sary to bring the approaching car t6 a stop. As a result, these pedes trians sometimes walk into the path of oncoming ears, believing they have adequate time to cross in saf ety, and are struck. Vernonia Trading Co 4 Vernonia, Oregon SUPERIOR CLEANING PAYS Hundreds Trained The state driver-training program sponsored by the Secretary of State’s office, is training hundreds of persons to drive motor vehicles and this program is helping reduce the pedestrian fatalities caused by lack of familiarity with the opera- tion of cars, it is believed. “Every pedestrian who does not drive should remember that his judgment of the speed of approach ing cars may not be dependable,” Safety Division officials declare. “They also should remember that cars cannot stop on a dime, espec ially on wet pavement. So when cars are approaching, wait on the curb, don’t walk out into the path of an oncoming car that may not be able to avoid hitting you.” FACTS If you crave a delicious soda, think of Dessy’s.
