Research proves that programs putting kids in touch with caring adults during the after-schohours cut crime and help kids learn the skills and values necessary to become contributing adults.

Another good one would be, "w atch out for the driver in the car following me." What we need in this country is a car that eats oats. Maybe we could all afford to drive a newer one. Did you know that one percent of the automobiles on the highways the others are are rented mortgaged. You hardly need seat belts because today's cars keep a person strapped. Every hear the cars get lower and wider, while the payments get longer and higher. Most of the new cars have so many warning lights and buzzers around the dashboard that just driving it makes you d to death. feel Have you noticed that new cars these day s have a longer guarantee than the people who drive them. A driving hint, power brakes may stop a car on a dime, but it will cost more than a hundred dollars to get the rear end fixed. The biggest problem on the highway today is there are too many people in too many cars in too much of a hurry going too many directions to get nowhere for nothing. The biggest need in auto safety is the recall of a few million defective drivers. I w'ould say I milked that subject for all it was worth so I will try to find something else for next week in a little lighter vein. - "fall down' into the seat.
