said recommendations of the
group would be based on ques
'ionnires circulated among 500
families. and from discussions
With parents, youth, law en-
forcement officers and county
officials.
In the survey by Questionnire
families were asked for opinions
on suspension of licenses for VIC
lations, reviying driver training
programs in the county, elevat
ing the minimum driving age to
Is. and higher fines and man
'-.tory punishments.
Idea of Recommendations
Contents of the report being
put into final form by Creigh-
Ton Reipe, secretary of the grand
it;ry, were not available prior to
the final meeting Of the group
Thursday night. But. some idea
Of what to expect in proposals
from the group was indicated
in the grand jurv's statement
that accompanied the question
naire to parents.
In that statement the grand
jury said, Eve feel that if chill
dren are properly trained in the
use and operation of automo-
biles from the time they begin
to drive, and if they have good
example set by the parents hab-
its. a big step forward will have
been taken to substantially re-
duce the accidents on our high
ways" Here. the jury would be
expected to follow through in
its report that much of the re-
sponsibility for safe driving lies
in the hands Of the parents.
Driver training in high school
has proved very helpful in areas
where it is taught. We had this
program in our high schools for
several years but it has now been
discontinued" the jury's state
ment said. A recommendation
that such a program be resumed
is likely to be contained in the
report.

ers are careless and abusive Of
the traffic laws, standard man
datory punishments of sufficient
severity should be imposed upon
them. If they are not, no lesson
will be learned" The jury is ex-
pected to make clear a point that
the operation of a motor vehicle
is a privilege, not a right.
Acknowledging the fact that
many youngsters are good driv-
ers. the statement also included
the following: I'VE think that
license suspension or revocation
will have greater effect on
careless drivers than any other
punishment.
