Whitney Groo, Supt. of Highway Patrol Gives Fine Talk at Kiwanis Luncheon; Support of Club Is Asked "We hope to show a downward trend in automobile accidents In Utah during the next few years, primarily the operathrough tion of two very Important measures passed by recent legislatures" R. Whitney Groo. superintendent of the 8tate Highway Patrol, told the members of the Nephi Kiwanis Club at their Monday noon luncheon. "The two measures now being undertaken are the issuing of driver's and chaufer's licenses and the periodically Inspection of motor vehicles," he further stated. One hundred and forty thousand drivers certificates were issued to Utah adults without examination, and since that time there has been 12,000 drivers examined, and out of that number, two per cent were turned down on account of various defects. Two per cent of the 140.000 persons who have been issued drivers licenses without an examination will eventually be eliminated from the state highway, thus In a very short time, all persons holding drivers licenses In Utah will be fully qualified to operate a motor vehicle. The program In regards to the proper examination of all motor vehicles Is now being worked out, and in the very nejar future, checking stations will be established in various cities throughout the state where competent mech-aiiwill be selected to examine automobiles and make the necessary repairs and give the automobile an OK tag. Groo also told Superintendent of the workings of the Stat patrol, telling that he highly and his patrol were at all times working for the safety of the highway. He stated that the trend was upward in regard to accidents on the state highways, last year 181 persons being killed and more than 3000 Injured. 43 already have been killed this year in the state. He urged the people of Nephi to cooperate in the national movement to lessen traffic accidents. The speaker reviewed the activities of the National Safety council, and the recent organizing of the Utah Safety council, which Is a branch of the National organization. He urged that either a county or a city safety council be formed in this area, and secure the information talks, pictures and posters which were available free of charge from the national organization.
