PATROLMAN'S PICTURES
|MST|LL SAFE DRIVING

Two motion pictures on safety On
the highways were exhibited at the
weekly meeting Tuesday of the Ro-
tary club by Officer William Ben
son of the Montana highway patrol
as part of the patrols intensive
campaign to persuade people from
killing themselves and others with
motor vehicles. The pictured situa-
tions seemed elementary to many
of the Rotarians, yet they are the
situations that produce the most
deaths, cost billions a year and
cause a vast amount of human sor-
row.
Benson, introduced by Paul Viii
son of the program committee, said
that some high schools, Billings
among them, nov have automobile
driving classes and that the results
are remarkably good. None of the
trained students have been picked
up for reckless driving or serious
accidents in this locality, the in
structions the young people receive
include such simple things as start
ihS diIu SOihS diOuiiu COt-
ners and keeping off the center
line.
A point Benson stressed is the
time interval between realization
and action, between the drivers
comprehension Of the fact that there
is a situation ahead demanding ac-
ton and the putting of the action
into operation. The interval is
fractional, but at high travel speeds
it often means the difference be-
tween death and life.
Drunken driving came in for a
scoring, in Montana whose harf
consumption per capita is
than any other state.
Of the three E's, Benson was
most interested in education, though
drawing his salary for enforcement
The third E is engineering-the de-
and building of the roads

the profits from their last annual
dance to buy a motion picture pro-
jector to teach some of the ruf-
ments of commonsense driving, and

Born neal Gettysburg, Pa, March
20, 184S, of Pennsylvania Dutch
parentage, he was as a youth, a
witness of the famous and decisive
battle of the Civil war. From early
youth he was determined to carry

a short ministry in Oil City, Pa,
he went to Sioux City, Iowa, where
he secured passage up the Missouri

Sunday morning, July 1, 1872, after
a trip of II days and 20 hours, he
arrived at Fort Benton. From there
on, until the day of his death in
December 1919, his life consisted OF
