Highway Patrol to Force
Owners to Take Out Licenses

The Montana State Highway patrol
will wage an active campaign against
car owners who fail to comply with
the law requiring the taking out Of
state licenses. The members of the pa
troll have been Instruct Z =, sop cry
car On the highways and determine il
its driver has a state drivers license.
Assistant Supervisor Walter Beck
explained that every motorist, whether
owner of a car or not, is required to
purchase a drivers license. He or she
must have it in his or her possession
at all times when driving.
There were 157 persons killed in
Montana last year as a result of viola
ton of traffic laws, which in reality
are rules for safe driving. These rules
when observed make our highways
safe for all" Mr.. Beck stated.
"The objective and duty Of the
Montana State Highway Patrol is to
see that these regulations are OBJ
served. In some sections of the state
the law is not being observed as it
should be although arrests are made
ard fines imposed whenever a driver
is found without a license. Because of
this we find it necessary in order to
see hat the law is complied with to
stop all cars and ask the drivers to
show their licenses which give them
authority to operate their cars on the
state highways.
