Mr.. Wheatley's door a man who
was buying old gold and such.
Yes, Mr.. Wheatly had an old pair

Seventy one hundred killed.
Three hundred twenty thousand
killed.
This is the staggering accident
toll for 1949 involving teenage
drivers and their teenage pass
engers.
What's to be done about it?
Banding themselves together,
the Safety Division of the Cleve-
land Automobile Club, the Greater
Cleveland Safety Council, and
other groups interested in safer
driving are sponsoring a Man-to-
Man agreement for the younger
driver. 1t is their answer for
Dad when his 16-year old asks the
inevitable question: "May / drive
the family car ?"
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1950-03-09

Monday noon by Mrs. Mildred Nc
Kay of the Cleveland Automobile
Club and the Cleveland Automo-
bile Dealers Association before the
East Cleveland Kiwanis club and
their guests, the Shaw high basket
ball squad.
The agreement reads as foil
ows:
/. That, knowing insofar as the
law is concerned, my acts in
using the car are the acts
Of my father, l will try to
drive it as carefully and
cautiously as he does; and
2. That, because / am fully
aware Of the risks involved
in driving after drinking, /
will not allow the car to be
driven by anyone who has
been drinking any form of
intoxicating liquor while the
car is in my charge; and
8. That | fully realize the car
is not a plaything but a ma
chine which has power to kill
and to irjure, and I will not
try to show-off with it;
. 4. That will not drive it al
aap s 6e of kie
speed limit elIied "a any
city street OF over 80 miles
per hour on open highways;
5. That / will slow down and
look both ways at all inter
sections even though / may
have the right-of-way;
6. That / will not race with
other cars regardless of how
much of a temptation it might
be to do so;
z. That l will not attempt to
drive if l feel sleepy.
s. That / will obey all signs,
street and highway markings,
signal lights, and other trail
fic regulations.
Mrs. Mckay reminded that when
a teenager takes the family car
on his own for the first time, it
IS the first time he has had $4,000
IF his fathers money between his
hands; that it is the first time he
IS responsible for his life and the
ives of his passengers and other
on the road. Such an
experience, she said, certainly de-
nands adult consideration.
Under state law, a 16-year old
may drive a car, and when the
BOY or girl reaches that age, they
want to drive, said Mrs. Mckay.
By signing the agreement with
,he teenager, the father is not
,nly granting permission to drive
the family car on all suitable
occasions, but is expressing his
faith that the young driver will
his part of the pact.
During her talk, Mrs. Mckay
said that because of the many acci-
tents among teenage drivers, many
insurance companies are refusing
10 insure car to be driven by
anyone under the age Of 25 years.
AS business men, said Mrs. Mckay,
fathers could appreciate such a
stand. She added that insurance
cost loss for cars driven by drivers
under 25 is 1916 per car, while
for cars driven by drivers over
25 it is 1870.
