Haze Your Car
Safety Checked
By Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consultant

If you live in one of the 1000
communities that have regular
safety check programs, the few
minutes it takes to run through
che safety check lane may save
you, other motorists and pedes-
TRANS from being injured.
Even though you may think
your car is in perfect operating
condition, chances are there's
still something that could cause
an accident.
2 Last year, among the three
million vehicles checked in this
program, one out of five was
found to need safety service.
Safety check lanes are set up
mt convenient locations to offer
YOU q free check of about 10
major items Of your car.
A lot of work goes into setting
up the lanes and lot of people
give their time and service so all
of us will have safe cars to drive.
Manning the lanes are mechan-
les loaned from automobile and
tire dealers and independent
garages and service stations.
According to Charles C. Freed,
chairman of the Inter-Industry
Highway Safety Committee, the
10 items most often checked on
each car are brakes, front lights,
rear lights, steering, tires, ex-
haust system, glass, windshield
wipers, rear view mirror and
horn.
If you take advantage of this
free service, you will be joining
millions of Americans in helping
reduce traffic accidents caused
by vehicles not in safe operating
condition.

Dating Our Own Kind

young people get to know others to

il is simply that friendship is so precious
that we cannot be satisfied with any
but the best companions.
We trust our Catholic young people
will never date anyone who is not of
high moral quality. We trust that they
would never be ashamed to present
their date to parents, teachers, or the

One point that might be stressed at
this time, is that young people should
date their W kind-those of the same
religion. 1t is ironic that students IN our

If we date others of another re-
