training to all high school stu
dents who want it, The state
school system has proposed add
ing three instructors to expand
the program in the public schools.
Last year 20 full time teachers
provided the instruction in the SO
public high schools in the state.
In the driver training course
each student receives 32 hours OF
classroom instruction and an av-
erage of eight hours of instruction
in an automobile with dual con-
trolls. Most of the automobiles
used are supplied by dealers at no
cost to the state.
j. James Ashton, manager of
the Safety Council. said the stu
dent driver training program is
one of the most valuable long term
programs ever conceived for the
promotion of safety on the high
ways. 1T works. Ii produces bet
ter and safer drivers with improv-
ed attitudes. he said.
The success of the program has
been proven in two ways. Mr. Ash
ton said One solid proof is that
many insurance companies pro-
vide insurance at reduced prem
iums TO students who have sue
cessfully completed state-approv-
ed driver education courses. The
other. equally solid proof. is the
result obtained in 80 studies of
the records of trained and un-
trained young drivers All the stu
dies. including one in Delaware,
demonstrate that those who have
passed student driver training
courses have significantly fewer
accidents and traffic violations
than unframed drivers"
Mr.. Ashton added: 1T stands
to reason that this should be so
The driver is the key factor in
traffic safety. He should be train
ed so that he will want to drive
safely. will know how to driv,
safely and will accept the respon
sibilities granted with the drivel
license privilege. This training
can best be given through drive
education in the high schools ;
form of education in which Della
ware has been the pioneer"

Here's a question directed to
every farmer in Kent County by
county agent George Vapaa and
DR.. w. r. Hesseltine, Extension
dairyman at the University of Del

They simply ask: do you plan

IF your answer is yes. then you

tion production testing program
today"
Mr.. Vapaa and Hesseltine go to
point out that our dairy products.
other than fluid milk sold in
Bottles, are now competing in a
worldwide market. Dairymen o
other countries forced to compete
in this world market have already
learned the value of producing
milk efficiently. and are keeping
DHIA records"
AS an example: In the United
cent OF our cows. In the Neither
lands they are testing 65.S per.
cent of their cows. and in Den
mark, 59.4 percent Even in Wes
Germany, 325 percent of the dairy
cows are on production testing. ol
DHIA as we know it here.
1T dosen't cost you to do DHIA
testing. it pays you" they said
I'VE can compete on world mar
kets, if we know what we are do
ing. Every dairyman should use tn,
DHIA testing service

three of their hits and both
runs in the fourth, the only
