Amin Jan is German-edu-

He was arrested in Peshawar
following his brothers abdica-

British to Rangoon. Later he
was transferred to the Alfalfa

1948 and allowed to proceed to
Pakistan.
He already had made one

The major result was to stir

Pakistan was backing Amin
Jan. Pakistan replied that it
had warned the Afghans about
his activities and urged tribes

Pakistan would be pleased to

Truck Drivers Better
Read This II They
Value Their Jobs

PITTSBURGH - Truck drivers
had better read this if they value
their jobs-and the lives and prop
erty of their fellow man:
Recently, a driver was burning
up the Pennsylvania turnpike at
a speed well over the limit set by
his company for its trucks.
A passenger car followed the
giant of the roads. Inside, the
driver looked at his speedometer
and switched on a movie camera.
His speed and that of the truck
were recorded on film.
AS the truck swung out of lane
on a curve the camera caught it.
The load shifted, too. Later, the
truck driver did a sloppy job of
parking at a lunchroom. When
he resumed his trip, he failed to
switch on his running lights. He
was having a bad night.
But he had a worse morning.
Called into the office, he was
charged with a list of violations as
long as his arm. Perhaps he tried
to deny them. In any event, he
saw a movie and he was the star.
If his record with the firm was
good, he vas warned, suspended
a few days, perhaps, and returned
to duty. If he'd been on the carpet
before. he was fired outright.
The movie. of course, was
filmed from the passenger car
which followed the errant truck
driver for a few miles. The car
and camera were operated by a
private highway-patrol service
man, one Of many who work
throughout Pennsylvania.
Safety-minded trucking COM
panies all over the state are en-
ploying the patrol services to
catch the careless or dangerous
driver. 1t cuts down accidents. re-
insurance and repair costs.
The drivers, becoming aware of
the camera cars, are playing safe.
Trucking accidents have been cut
tremendously. according to the
companies.

bad moments, and he still Shud-

The blowout caused Leach's car
to swerve, hit a palm tree, nose
into a road bank, flip completely
overland land upright on its
wheels.
Bgstanders helped him change
the tire and Leach continued on
his way, none the worse for his ex-
p~erience-but a lot wiser.

SPORTS
Laurel Ties Colts;
Going To Glasgow
For Game Friday
By LOWELL

The Laurel football squad.
minus the services of the seniors
tied the Billings "B" Colts Go in
a game here Friday evening. The
score was identical with the score
of last years game by Billings B
and Laurel.
The Colts drew first blood in the
first quarter when Halfback Nc
Dermott scored on a seven-yard
plunge. During the second and
third quarters the game see-sawed,
with neither club threatening seri-
ously. In the fourth quarter the
Laurel offense began to roll, with
Gabel and Dantic toting the ball
around ends and through the line
behind some well executed fakes
and blocking. A Laurel scoring
opportunity came early in the
fourth stanza with Laurel on the
vineyard line, when they lost the
ball on downs and Billings took
over. Decker kicked on the first
down behind his goal and the kick
rolled out of bounds on the Bill
lings 20. On a series of plays and
a first down, the ball rested on the
five-yard line. Fullback Gabel
then skirted left end for the touch
down.
Outstanding in the Laurel
ground attack was Dantic, who by
carrying the leather 16 times made
a ga yard average per try. Gabel
carried the ball 20 times and made
Sc yards per attempt.
In the statistical, department,
Laurel garnered 10 first downs as
compared to seven for Billings.
Laurel rushed a total of 229 yards
to Billings las. In the air, how
ever, Billings gained a total of 43
yards against 10 for Laurel.
The A squad will go to Glas-
gov Friday, Oct. 7, an Eastern A
division conference game. The
group will be cunning for a sec
ond conference win in as many
starts. The Locomotives in their
game defeated Lewistown
14-7.

Good Tires Important

Good tires and tire maintenance
are the mark of the good motor
list, and they are bona fide insur-
ance against traffic accidents
caused by tire failure. By the same
token, smooth tires, improperly in
flated tires, tires having cuts and
bruises invite accidents.
