10000 TO TAKE
DRIVING COURSES
School Children Assured of
Better Protection This
Year, A. A. A. Says.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
School children will go back to The
Nations class rooms this month facing
greater traffic hazards than ever be-
fore, but assured of better protection
the American Automobile Association
said today
The association has designed driv.
Ing courses to reach 100000 high
school students Some 400 teacher.
were trained in Summer courses te
direct this activity.
School safety patrols sponsored BY
the association are expected to enrol
more than 25o,000 boys and girls E
5000 communities, officials said. These
junior policemen will aid in safe
guarding 100000 classmates.
The A. A. A. also limited that the
following would be the safest policy
for touring motorists:
When you see left arm extended
horizontally from the car in front OF
you, first slap on the brakes and then
consult your guide book.
The message conveyed to the driver
behind the arm-signaler varies geo
graphically. 4
For instance, in Alabama, Arkansas
Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North
Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
and the District of Columbia an arm
extended horizontally means that the
driver ahead Is going to stop.
But in Arizona, California, Colorado,
Illinois. Indiana. Kentucky, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Maryland, Nebraksa,
North Carolina. Oklahoma, OREGON,
Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Vermont,
Washington and West Virginia the
fellow ahead plans a left turn.
In New Jersey and some other States
the horizontally arm, TO
tated. indicates a right turn.
Such signal may mean anything
In Delaware, Iowa, Ohio and Texas,
where the law prescribes signals but
doesn't define them.
And in nine States you'll be lucky
II you get any signal, for Florida, Kan
sas, Maine, Mississippi, New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, South Carolina.
Wisconsin and Wyoming have no laws
requiring them.
The almost complete national
breakdown in the practice of motor
lists giving hand signals" was blamed
by the association for = large share
of traffic crashes.
