BY SAFETY COUNCIL
Warm Days Brings Out AutOlsts;
Care Is Then Needed

The great American urge to go
places and see things in an automO-
bile is with us again. Spring may
have been a bit backward, but the
calendar says it is here and IL his
tory repeats itself the well-known
summer gasoline trail is going to be
just as dangerous as ever and the
annual rise in highway killings and
injuries is due to start It's regular
upswing pretty soon.
But, according TO the Delaware
Safety Council, there is a way to
cancel this theory that-what has
happened in recent years is about
to happen again. The secret lies
with the individual motorist--in his
ability to analyze highway hazards
to diagnose his own case aud to dis
cipline himself to drive carefully at
all times. The following are some
of the hazards which will be en-
countered by the mOt0rist and how
to avoid them:
