Automobile Club
InstnLLs Patrol
Service in i. Y.

Starting today, the new highway
patrol service car of the Automobile
Club of Southern California will be
on its tours of the highways of I'M
perial County. Any motorist in
need of first aid to the injured,
having engine trouble, or in need
of assistance of any kind may sig
nal the patrol ear for help, whether
he is a member of the club or not.
The Automobile Club of Southern
California has developed this splen-
did service more extensively than
clubs of other sections of the coun
try. Eleven well-equipped ears are
to be operated in Southern Califor-
MIA counties and others will be sup
piled as soon as possible. The gen
eral idea is to have one car work
out of each county seat giving SER
vice free of cost to any motorist
needing assistance.
The local car is in charge of H.
L. Blanchard. Mr.. Blanchard has
been interested in automobile me-
chanics for many years, is a gradu
ate electrical engineer and has had
training in first aid work. He
served as hospital inferno and
took a special course in first aid
work at the General Hospital in
Providence, Rhode Island.
In an interview this morning
Mr.. Blanchard stated that the work
called for n ombination of his abb
lities in the various lines he has
studied, kept him outdoors, and was
decidedly interesting at all times
| OF a rather stockv build Mr..
| Blanchard seems to be typical
outdoor man, his khaki uniform Civ
ing him a military appearance. He
arrivedTin 'El Centre. last evening
with his eariready to commence his
work today. Mrs. Blanchard will
come TO. FL Centre in the early. fall.
= Garry a Broom Too AZ
The car, which is painted a dark
olive drab color, is fitted to render
real service, on the road. A com
plete first aid kit is cOnspicuously
placed in the rear of the body. A
sturdy broom and dust pan have
| their special places, their incon
gruity being explained by the fact
that the removal of, broken glass
on the road is zone of the duties of
its operator.
A long handled shovel, and
chests containing various tools for
repairing minor engine mislhps or
other mechanical troubles that can
annoy the autoist are part of the
equipment. An extra supply of oil
and Gas will be carried so that they
NAV be sold at cost to the man
who may have forgotten to fill up
his tank before starting on mo-
| tor trip. This is the only feature of
| the service for which there is n
charge of any kind. 1t is merely
intended to serve people with the
means of reaching Il filling station
where they may obtain an adequate
supply.
Mr.. Blanchard stated today that
he would stop upon signal from any
one in trouble. of any kind. He is
provided withs a pistol which he
knows how, to use, if the occasion
| warrants such drastic action on his
part. !. He does not anticipate trou-
BILE but does believe in being pre-
| pared.
Service that involves tire chang
ing will only be given to women and
! to such men drivers as are physi-
callv unable to do the work them
selves. A plan is being worked out
| whereby all the roads of the coun-
ty will be patrolled. Practically a
| "a hour service is to be maintained
| by the service car.
