THE removal Of all body-build-

an opportunity to blame her.
This sort of thing Is the result OF
making motoring available to the
general public and I'll suggests the
necessity Of conducting a campaign
lii the interests Of a return to the
comraderie of yesterday IL motor
ing is to be anything but purely
selfish--and therefore dangerous
form. Of transportation.
Civility Pays
The success and safety of any
ones motoring is largely depend
ent upon the Willingness of the
other fellow to- be civil. and vice
versa. just as the general public
has to be taught how to operate
the automobile, so it appears that
the general public will have to be
taught many Of the rudiments Of
helpfulness that kept the earlier
days OF motoring free from much
Of the present nnpleasantness.
Traffic officers and motorcycle
policemen have had so much to
contend with that they, too, very
frequently overlook the importance
OF comraderie. Quite recently three
persons went to the hospital as a
direct result OF an officers stop
ping q motorist because the cars
tail light was out. A more ex.
perienced motorcycle officer says
that such action is a mistake and
that he never stops man on the
road il he can possibly help it. II
a tail light is out he rides abreast
of the car, advises the driver ac-
cordingly and instructs him to have
the matter attended to at the next
garage.
That's practical helplessness from
the police standpoint. The aim is
cooperation. Whether it's law en-
forcement. recreation, business or
trouble each traffic unit has to help
the other.
They knew this in the early days
of motoring, but the idea has
Eeen lost track Of in the rush of
registrations.
What are you doing to bring it
back into popularity?
