That the number of ear pools, and the number of children, being taken care of by them, is increasing, Is apparent in almost every community in the land. The growth has followed new homel construction and has been further stimulated by Inability of new school building programs to keep pace with demands. J Though fathers f requently share the responsibility for the can pools in many areas, spot checks indicate that far more mothers! are now eneaeed in this ultra modern activity. And unless mother! carries out ner assigned auuev faithfully and weU, the pool is doomed to failure. ! But perfect safety for the: children, and for mother too, is! far more than a matter of taking tak-ing over on the day assigned to her, as is pointed out by Leonard M. van Noppen, vice president and safety expert of the Universal Univer-sal C. I. T. Corporation, who supervises a fleet that racks up" some 30 million car miles a year. Take Your Time! "Give yourself plenty of time to get to school and home again. Rushing is dangerous," he advises. ad-vises. "Dress sensibly. High heels, dangling bracelets, a loose scarf that may blow over the eyes, aren't conducive to safe driving. "Remember, as a driver, you are setting an example for a carload of future drivers. And you are the boss. Make the kids understand this clearly. ChecB insurance to make sure you're covered for all passengers. "And if you must miss a turn, make arrangements for a reliable reli-able substitute, well in advance." ad-vance." Mr. van Noppen, lists othei points to be observed in cai pool operation as follows: 1. Small children should be required to wail inside the house where they will keep clean, dry and in one place. 2. No fooling should be per milled once they are in the car, and doors should be locked securely. se-curely. 3. Arms and heads should never be poked out windows. 4. If a back seat scuffle occurs, oc-curs, pull off to the side of the road. Don't try to stop it while driving. 5. Don't let books or clothes . be piled up so high it obscures ' rear vision mirrors views. 6. Don't transport more children chil-dren than your car will seat with- i out crowding. 7. Deliver the kids right to . the curb on the school side of : the street. Remember, especial-' especial-' ly when calling for the children i at the close of the day, that : mother's place as they begin to load, is outside the car, not in ' the driver's seat, where she . should remain until all are se- . curely inside. i It is assumed that mothers undertaking the car pool responsibility re-sponsibility are experienced and considerate drivers. Cet Cars on Loan Majority of the schools offer ing driving courses including behind-the-wheel instruction, use dual controlled cars. They get them on a loan basis from manufacturers and dealers. Many of these cars are as signed through arrangements made by the AAA and its afflU- ated clubs, or other organizations organiza-tions interested in the program, Rapidity of the growth of the driver education program is generally credited to progres sive attitudes of educators.

The American Automobile Association, As-sociation, one of the principle founders of the Patrol' movement, move-ment, estimates that more of these youngsters will be serving as safety guardians In the coming com-ing school year than at any time in the Patrol's 34-year history. Andrew J. Sordoni, president of the AAA, says that the School Safety Patrols, more than any other single factor, are resDons. ible for the traffic death rate of school children In the 5-to 14-year-old age group being cut in half during the past 34 years, while the death rate for all other age groups nearly doubled. Patrols More Active "With the Patrols more active than ever before," Mr. Sordoni stated, "the 1956-57 school year should be one of the safest for school children from the standpoint stand-point of traffic accidents." The motor club official deplored de-plored the fact that all school children do not get adequate protection. He said that if Patrol protection were to be extended to every elementary grade pupil, there should be nearly one and one-half million on duty .this fall. Nevertheless, the Patrols have really done an outstanding job wherever they have been established, estab-lished, and in recent years par. ents are getting even further assurance that their children will be well protected while walking to school by the presence pres-ence of a relatively new force of 'safety sentinels' the women crossing guards." The AAA is getting a continuous contin-uous flow of reports from motor clubs around the country on the establishment of women crossing cros-sing guard units in cities and towns However, motor club officials point out that these adult guards are not intended to replace school safety, patrols rather, they work with the youngsters to form a "safety team." Rule of Operation Under the "Standard Rules for the Operation of School Safety Patrols" published by the AAA in cooperation with leading school officials, police, and civic groups the patrol boys and girls are required to stay on the sidewalk to guide children. The Patrols are never supposed to attempt to direct traffic. In most places where adult guards are serving, they have the authority to direct vehicular traffic and often they also can make arrests or issue traffic tickets. Thus, when the two units work together a very high degree of traffic safety la achieved. Be MMJEXS J Less H omewor ! SHOP PROVO PENNEY'S MONDAY NIGHT 'TIL 9 P. M. for MOTHER : .
