STORF it is difficult to identify drivers ' who are under the influence oi I alcohol until some error in driv J ing has been committed or an I i accident occurs. Then, too. lack of ! | public consciousness of the serious- 1 | ne.ss of the problem has delayed the establishment of effective 1 countermeasures. Law enforcement I which does ont have substantial ! public backing has always failed in ! this country. The fact that only a very small percentage of the popu | lace . in all probability, is fully j aware of the gravity of the intoxi cation problem in its relation to i motor vehicle accidents has had a pronounced retarding effect upon the legislator, police officer, prosecutor, judge and jury Coupled with these basic prob lems are others of exceptional importance. The absence of need ed legislation narrows the field of police investigation and necessar ily limits the horizon of judicial decision. Again. loopholes in ixisting legislation permit the guilty to escape and. all too fre quently. the innocent to suffer. Such a situation destroys police morale and nurtures antagonism between the police, the prosecu tion and the courts. This, in turn, engenders an unfavorable public i.ttitude. Many drivers still believe that the term "drunken driver" applies only to a person who is dead drunk or almost hopelessly disabled. Such is not the case, since perons who are very drunk are seldom able to drive at all. Investigations of accidents involving drinking drivers reveal that the greater menace is the individual who has drunk enough to have a false feel ing of confidence. In reality, even a little alcohol slows down physi cal reactions to the extent of mak ing a driver unsafe. For example, a recent study re vealed first, that nearly half of the drivers involved in personal JUST ARRIVED, Nails of all kinds and .^izes. See us also for ether building material.

Correction of this situation i est ?% with public acceptance of the principle tha* "alcohol and gasoline do not mix." Competent scientific research has shown that human coordination 'ability to carry on several activities at once) and ability to judge distances are effected for the worse when expos ed to only a relatively small amount of alcohol. Every driver owes it to himself, to his family, to the occupants of his car and to the other users of the highway to refrain from driv ing after drinking.
