SECTION TWO- Driver Education Is Sub-Standard In Many Os States Courses Fail to Measure Up In Both Class and Practice With 33 of the 48 states still hav ing high schools which offer sub standard courses in driver education, the nation still has a long way to go in its efforts to teach young drivers the highway safety facts of life, Thomas N. Boate, accident prevention department manager of the Associa tion of Casualty and Surety Compan ies, warns. Commenting on results of the re cently completed Seventh Annual Nat ional High School Driver Education Award Program, Mr. Boate noted that while 16 states have Keen given awards for outstanding quality in their driver training programs, therej are still only 15 states in the country, where all of the schools offering, courses meet minimum standards setj up by the National Education Asso ciation. In all other states, Mr. Boate said, there are some schools whose courses fail to measure up either in the classroom or practice driving, phases or both “That so many schools are offering sub-standard courses,” Mr. Boate said, | “is part of the reason for the fact that there were actually fewer students en-1 rolled in driver education courses dur- j ing 1953-54 than in the previous year, j It is also part of the reason that vir-j tually no new schools joined the list of those offering driver education dur ing 1953-54.” Mr. Boate emphasized that “if we are ever to stop the horrifying rise in highway fatalities, we must get to the new drivers before they ever start driving.” He said the “hit or miss” methods by which most of today’s adult drivers learned to drive are no longer sufficient because “as recently, as 1945 there were only 30,000.0001 cars on America’s highways; today! there are 55,000,000; by the end of I next year there will be 60,000.000,1 bringing the total increase in the past ten years to 100 per cent.” He added that there has not been, nor is there likely to be, an appreciable compara tive increase in the number of miles of highway in the country. Mr. Boae said an improvement in the quality of driver education cour es■will result in an increase in quail-] tity as educators become convinced that the subject has a real and vital | role to play in the modern educational s7oooODtsrunt f *. \ Radio, Heater, Two-Tone, White Sidewall EXTRA SPECIALS FOR THIS WEEK ’49 Ford, 2 Door Sedan I 1950 Nash, 4 dr.

AMERICA America by 1975 may witness a 120 ' per cent increase in industrial pro- i 1 duction over capacity in 1954. This 1 could mean that the value of the gross national product may almost double, based on today’s prices, by 1975. Earl Bunting, managing director of the National Association of Manu facturers,discussed these possibilities: in the reprint of a recent address en -1 titled “Promise of a Growing Ameri ’ ca.” . • j ■'“'... v Another 120 per cent rise ini '! industry capacity by 1975 may take] Jits place in our gallery of economic j ,! horizons. ; j “The total amount of goods and ser j vices to be produced in 1975, our gross national product, may run as high as , 700 billions of dollars compared with 1 370 billions of dollars today—figuring ■on the basis of today’s prices ... j “Today the average worker in Am-! . j erican industry can produce 4 to 5, .'times as much per hour as his grand father did in 1900.

Future Farmers Get Aid From ‘Nickels’ Program Nickels for Know-How, which has already paid for one 48-page text for juse by agriculture teachers and stu ' dents, will pay for another in the near j future. | A. G. Bullard of the State Depart ment of Public Instruction’s vocation al agriculture division, said last week that the first publication—on soil fer tility and fertilizer —filled the need for a complete North Carolina refer ence on the subject. Existing texts were either out of date or did not combine the information into an over j all reference that is needed in the classroom. i The next publication will deal with the production of flue-cured tobacco Nickels for Know-How will also make 1 this possible. | Bullard said that many agriculture teachers have called Soil Fertility and Fertilizers their “most valuable text." Reception of the paper-bound book was such that the Agricultural Foun 'dation, which administers Nickels for j Know-How, approved funds for a simi lar text on flue-cured tobacco Nickels for Know-How pays for a j total of 38 projects, most of them She needs a Low Cost Extension Telephone . . .
