The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-05-27

While the Richmond Automobile
Club is conducting its campaign Of
education In the cause Of good roads.
the Virginia Automobile Association
is urging the formation OF new auto
mobile clubs all over the State. Its
efforts are meeting with most favor
able results.
Secretary Otis M. Alfriend has
been circularizing the various auto
mobile owners, showing them the
advantages of forming themselves
into automobile clubs. From this 1t
is but step for the club to enter the
Virginia association and membership
In the Virginia association means
membership in the Amateur Automo-
bile Association. with all the privi-
leges that come with mem bership in
that great body.
Secretary Alfriend has pointed out
that the cost Is merely nominal. some
thing less than a dollar a year, while
membership in the Virginia Associa-
ton means special rates for tourists
In hotels and in garages and in the
price OF gasolene. Not only that, but
1t works great benefits for automo-
bile owners In general to work to-
gether in body,
bile Clubs the citizens in community
can got together often and determine
what they may want in the way of
legislation. AT the annual meeting
OF the association they can pool their
ideas and work together for the gen
eral good, and work inteliigentiy. eff
fectively.
AS automobile owners are usually
citizens OF some weight In their re-
spective communities. they are likely
TO be heard with attention. No leg
isiator Is going TO turn deaf ear to
them.
That, MIR. Alfriend points out, is one
of the advantages hf belonging to an
automobile club. and incidentally to
the virginia association, and through
the Virginia association to the ma
tional body.
Mr.. Alfriend also points out thai
an automobile owner who wishes te
take little tour will enjoy many
advantages on his trip by belonging
To his State association. In the frs
place. by writing to the secretary. h.
can get all the road maps and litera-
tnre he needs about his proposed trip
