The incentive is a reduction of fine or subtraction of driver points offered to those who take the courses. Those who attend the Senior Citizens Traffic Safety School have a different but equally powerful motive, according to Mrs. G. Penny Allred, executive secretary, Salt Lake Safety Council. RENEW LICENSES Usually they are faced with and tests to examinations renew their drivers licenses and want to be sure they have the knowledge and skill to hang onto that precious slip of plasticized paper. A few individuals, notably recent widows, have never had a drivers license or had allowed it to lapse many years ago, and now are confronted with the need to drive. Propelled by these factors, some 1,500 persons 65 or over have attended the school during its three years of operation at the Senior Citizens h East. Center, RECESS UNTIL FALL 237-10t- The school, sponsored by the Salt Lake Safety Council and several other organizations, just wound up its spring classes and will be in recess until next fall, Mrs. Allred said. Few of the elderly students approach the school with the cocky attitude often present among younger drivers. But those who do often have It knocked out of them at the outset.

Many of them get a terrible score which impresses them with the need to study hard and ham the answers before the end of the course and, especially, before they have to renew their licenses, Mrs. Allred said. Most of them do well when the test is again given at the completion of the course, she added.
