violate laws through honest ig-
norance or failure to develop the
right attitude. These people could
benefit from the school and it
would be good for the juveniles in
the schol to see that adults, too,
are compelled to attend it."
Mr.. Miller indicated that he
and the Montgomery County
Safety Council, in cooperation
with the Maryland Law Enforce
ment Association, are launching
an intensive campaign of public
education on the need for chemi-
cal testing for intoxication as a
contribution to highway safety.
Test For Drunks
He declared that chemical tests
of blood to determine the alco-
holic content in an accused driv-
er's blood is the only fair and ac-
curate means of determining
whether the driver in question
was under the influence of alco.
hol' in the legal sense of the
term.
At present, Maryland law
makes no provision for such test
ing, which means that the results
cannot be introduced in evidence
when the case comes to trial.
Eighteen States now have chemi-
cal test legislation, however,
which are repeatedly being ad-
ministered with beneficial results.
While intoxicated driving
ranks we'll down in the list of
Montgomery County accident
causes, it is blamed for a high
percentage of the more serious
accidents. This accounts for the
in e nsive campaign currently
being waged by State and County
road safety officials in favor of

enforcement.
Leading causes of County acci.
dents in the first six months of
1854 are:

Some folks premeditate to
travel to lands of enchantment
on distant horizons of desire
with adequate art of perspective
set on optimistic hope of finding
happiness and contentment.
Quite often they do if proper in
itiative precaution is taken. In
evitably however, they risk Turk
ing hazards in their beautiful
pathways by eating contamin-

water which don't help ones ego

lies the great mystery and dan

as men-about IS per cent of the
drivers on the road at any given
time are men-and women don't
drive buses or tractor trailers."
AS one means of making Mont
gomery safer place in which to
live while at the same time keep
ing it in line with democratic
traditions, Miller revealed that
serious thought is being given to
making all arrest records open to
public inspection. At the present
time, there is difference of opin-
ion on whether a public record
should be made of juvenile ar
rests.
Mr.. Miller said that the prob
lem will be considered at a con-
ference on Sept. 5 to be attended
by County police, court and legis-
lative officials and that he would
make his ruling after the confer
ence.
In the County, two of the six
fatal accidents were caused by
juveniles and Montgomery Coun-
ty experience closely follows that
of the nation with respect to the
incidence of juveniles in traffic
accidents. Nationally, 10 per
cent of all drivers are persons
under age 81. This 10 per cent
causes Is per cent of all acct
dents. Moreover, Mr.. Miller OBJ
served, accidents caused by
youngsters tend to be more seri-
Gus because of the greater speed
and recklessness with which they
operate vehicles.
School For ViOIatOrs
AS another element making for
greater highway safety, Mr.. Mil
Ter said that he was renewing his
plea to trial magistrates in the
County to refer adult drivers to
the drivers safety school now
being held by his department two
evenings a week.
1.-THE adult who is a hardened
violator-who knows the laws,
but still ignores them-is not the
type of person I would. like to
have in the school," he said. "He
should be dealt with according to

should not be regarded as a PEN
