Q: "Are there any facts to prove that some people ought not to be driving because they are too ill to handle a car in traffic?" T.N., Cody, Wyo. A: In 1960, Pennsylvania began requiring periodic physical examinations for drivers. The program was discontinued and the state now requires physical exams every 10 years. Officials rejected 1.7 per cent of the first two million drivers examined. On a national basis, that ratio projects to 1,600,000 drivers. It hasn't been proved, that the rejected however, drivers had more accidents than those approved. Q: "Is is really as dangerous for children to walk to and from school as some would have us believe?" Mrs. P.A.C., Milwaukee. A: Not if you have taught your children to use the safety features that are placed on streets to prevent accidents. One very effective protection e for children is the new SCHOOL fluorescent sign now on guard in 700 communities.

Rampton recently, cited an occasion where two Utah State Department of Highways employees went the extra mile to aid an motorist. Mr. Joe Batie writes as follows: "May I take the privilege of reporting to you an act of out- standing integrity and service on the part of two gentlemen working with the highway commission at Koosharem, Utah. They are Mr. William Camp and Mr. Rufus Hatch. My family and I were enroute to Los Angeles from Boston, Mass., recently. While in the of Koosharem, vicinity my wife's purse was somehow lost from the car while traveling at night. The purse contained a substantial sum of money to gether with credit cards Mr. and Mrs. William Watt of Thatcher were honored Sunday prior to their departure for Miami, Fla. They will be spending the next 24 months and identification. These gentlemen found the contents of the purse strewn along the highway the next day, and immediately contacted my Boston residence by long distance in order to be able to our forward the property to interim address. The cash and other valuables were intact. They refused to deduct a reward, and declined to withhold the telephone charge. I feel these two men should be commended officially for their exemplary .behavior. They certainly have brought credit to their department and their state. It has been a refreshing experience for us." Director of Highways, Henry C. Helland joined with the Governor in commending Mr. Camp and Mr. Hatch for their out- standing service. visiting their daughter and her family.
