D. Chaney, A&M Consolidated High School driver education teacher, tells his students. By attitude, he is referring to the driver * attitude and courtesy shown tow aid other drivers, pedes trians and his own vehicle. “The three points I stress to all my students,” Chaney said,, “arc: (1) always signal you intentions, (2) always obey II highw; y dgns at.d at-ite hews, and always govern your speed acc< i t to the exist! • g ' < ndi Licks.” He said be b< ieved acvideate c juld i >tually be wfjv d out if all ri/e p; • .cu'd loMcw thus thin.

Are they prepared to meet the challenge? According to Chaney, they are if they, have taken a course in driver education such as the one he teaches at CHS. The State of Texas has decided the same thing. A law passed last year requires a driver to he 16 years of age to qualify for a Texas driver’s license. By completing such a course successfully, he may obtain his license at the age of 14. Insurance companies echo the feeling also, by giving a discount on his insurance if he has passed a Hickman Warns That Speed Kills Students who take an extra hour or two to drive home and show a little caution will stand a lot bet ter chance to be on hand for the opening of classes for the new year January 6, Fred Hickman, Campus Security Chief said yesterday. Everyone should show a much greater amount of caution on the roads during the holiday season, he said. Slowing down some 15 or 20 miles an hour will improve safe ty conditions on the highways greatly. driver’s education course. How do they know driver educa tion graduates rate these extra privileges? It has been proven time and time again. For instance, an Ohio survey showed that out of a certain age group, 50 per cent fewer students of the driver train ing were involved in motor acci dents and arrests than those who had not taken the course. “A 16-year-old driver is actually better prepared to be a good driver than an older person because his reactions are faster,” Chaney said. “We try to make our driver stu dents drive in a mature manner.” A driver training course is of fered to anyone 14 years of age or older. Classes are kept small, usu ally six to eight per class, Chaney said. The students get 35-38 hours of theory in the course and at least 6 hours behind the wheel, he said. In the driver education class, stu dents learn the proper attitude for driving, how to maneuver a car, simple mechanics of the vehicle and get practical experience in botl city and country driving. Thiy hear lectures from policemen, in surance men and highway engi neers on laws and safe driving. However they stay on one skill until it is completely mastered be fore moving on to the next, Chaney stressed. Chaney said driver education was the fastest growing course in the nation, and that many states sponsored the entire program, al though Texas did not. Any school offering the course must obtain funds from another source. Consolidated has been provided with a 1958 Chevrolet station wag on by George Clark Chevrolet, of Hearne, for use in the cour. ^, Safe Driving Rules Protect Motorists Christmas season is almost here, and besides being a time of cele bration and giving, it is also the time of the year when the asphalt jungle of the nation’s highways becomes a teeming ^madhouse, screaming for careless victims. The country’s policemen strive to protect the unwary, but they rush headlong into the unknown until a rending of steel and tinkle of glass mingle with agonied cries to mark their end. Aggies Are Known To Help Their Own Any Aggie can make an emer gency loan from Lou without any security or interest. At the present Lou has over $2,000.00 out in loans, many of which were made early in the semester and are now past due. If you have borrowed from Lou and can’t repay him now, just keep on trading with Lou but drop by and tell him when you can re pay him.
