Education
Clinics

The first step of the Virginia
Federation of Women's Clubs
1857 attack on traffic accidents
has been announced by Mrs.
Randall w. Everett of Airing
ton, State Safety Chairman
for the organization.
Our major safety efforts
this year will be in the field of
high school driver education"
she said.
A series of six clinics about
Driver Education will be held
the last two weeks of this
month. Selected club women
from throughout the State will
attend these clinics to be To-
Gated at Marion, Brookneal,
Staunton. Suffolk, Richmond,
and Arlington.
Driver education and safety
authorities will be on hand at
each clinic to conduct work
and study sessions about the
nature and value of high school
driver education programs.
According to Mrs. Everett,
study after study has shown
that young people who have
been taught to drive in such
courses have UP to 500 fewer
accidents and traffic violations
than do those who are I'M
trained.
