Fall Meeting
 of Grenadiers
Plans for Drive to Bring in
 New Members

The Grenadiers one of the oldest young mems clubs of the Y. M. c. A. held their first meeting of the fall on Tuesday evening.
 Due to the fact that several mem- ber.s were called back to college President Cattano has started a drive for new members. Applica- tions are open to all and are re- quested to communicate with either the president or any member.
 The members who went to col lege were Carmen Del Gaizo to Notre Dame, Ted Bartles to Penn State and Victor Meleski to Purdue.
 Secretary Francis Sullivan gave an interesting talk on the founder of the Y. M. c. A. Mir Williams. He also stressed the fact that all mem- bers should go to the banquet on October 29 in honor of the late MT Williams. There will be entertain ment and speeches by the present directors of the "Y".

including lessons intended to pre- pare each potential operator, must
 be embraced in every program of education which, under any con- ditions, is to be considered com- plete.
 "There is nothing more inn portant for 8 persoI to-day
 whether it be for pleasure or busi-
 ness, than to be able to fully and properly determine his own proper
 course of conduct in connection with the use of any machinery ol
 equipment which carries the in. herent qualities of danger. If ono is to have dangerous instrument ir
 his possession and is to use it, ther it stands to reason that the first
 duty for which he must prepare
 himself is to see that the danger
 which is any part of his perform. ance, is eliminated. This may come through education of his own mind or by his own experiences in actua performance.
 Ut must be obvious that If edu- cation in the use of car covering public participation later can be
 made to take the place of actual experience, new operators will be better prepared and better equip ped mentally for their roles. This
 will take the place of hard-won experience, including as it does many serious accidents due to mis- take, and there may be expected a much better and higher grade of performance in this particular age group of young people than has taken place in the past.'

Youthful Drivers
 Need Instructors
More Than the Ordinary Mechanical Knowledge
 Necessary Declares Commissioner Stoeckel

Hartford, Sept 22.-The young people who essay to operate motex vehicles must know more than the ordinary mechanics of operating a car. They must be made to realize that the automobile is a piece of machinery which, in use, has a high potentiality of danger. They must be instructed, preferably be- can be granted licenses, in the tionship side of driving, says Rob- motor vehicles.
 "It is of very little use," he adds flor young persons to know the mechanics of operating 8 car if they do not also know the proba- bilities of operation, on the high ways, of other people.
 Tt is common knowledge" MT Stoeckel states, that boys and girls learn to drive cars, by mysterious means often, before the age at which they can be qualified as operators, but it does not follow that anyone has ever tried more than in the most cursory and dis connected manner to teach them what the situations in which they will be involved as drivers, may be. If they do not know what emer- gencies and contingencies may confront them as soon as they go around the first corner, and are not prepared to meet them, then they are not qualified to drive. So it is that teaching on this particu- lar point and the special courses

STATE SUPPLIES
 SERUM SERVICE
Officials on Hand All the Time Ready to Meet
 Emergencies
OFFICE AT HARTFORD

Connecticut's State Department of Health remains on duty every hour of the day and night to fur nish serums and vaccines in em- ergency situations and often it's employees are rushed to the var ious towns in the state with the biologics needed to avert serious epidemics, Laurence A. Pagan, chief of the division of supplies of the department, declared last night in explaining the work of his division in the departments week ly broadcast.
 AS an example, MT Pagan. en- acting a role in one of the depart ment's "Smithson Family" pro- grams, used an outbreak of small pox in one of the saller towns. The local health officer hastily tele- honed the department that he had arranged for vaccination clinic within few hours in order to pre- vent the possibility of a general outbreak. Smallpox vaccine is kept at. all times by the depart ment in automatic refrigerators in which the temperature is carefully controlled, so that the potency of the vaccine is maintained. A man was rushed with the required sup ply to the distressed town and an epidemic brought under control. At times, the car carrying the bio- 1ogics is given a police escort to avoid delays in transit.
 If all towns required vaccina- tion of school children and every one would take the precaution of repeating vaccination every seven years, MT Pagan explained, out breaks of the disease would be practically eliminated; everyone should be re-vaccinated at least when there is indication of an outbreak and thus protest them selves against the disease.
 No matter what the disease may be, if it requires the use of serums or vaccines for treatment or for prevention, the department stands ready to furnish the supply.
