WOMEN DRIVERS
 GIVEN PRAISE
Only lO4 Involved in Ace CidentS Here-NOne Inl-
 pliCated in Fatalities

Praise to Waterbury's women drivers for their part in aiding in the local safe driving campaign, was voiced today by Supt. of Police Will liam J. Roach. AS continuation, Chief Roach compared the city's safety campaign with that of any well-run factory or industry.
 His statement is as follows:
 ITO the women of Waterbury goes all the honor and glory of being ex- ceptional drivers. During the year 1887, of the 1891 drivers involved in accidents only 104 were women. Women drivers were not involved in any fatal accidents. For this reason the feminine drivers of the city can look with pride to the fine record they have established and when the male drivers cast disparaging re- marks the women can point to these facts and state that the male driver will have to go some to equal it."
