Check Your Driving
Qualifications

It's time for summer inven-
tory OF driving equipment" the
Keystone Automobile Club advises
motorists.
"By driving equipment" said
Edward P. Curran, Safety Direct
or of the Club, 1--WE mean not only
the safety features Of the car but
the safety qualifications Of the
driver himself.
"This is going to be a busy sum
mer on American highways-prob-
ably the busiest in history - and
the roads will be unsafe for me-
chanically unfit cars and physically
deficient drivers.
"The wise motorist usually looks
to his mechanical equipment, but
often overlooks his own physical
qualifications"
