come to this country, has
come from the black
colleges of the South,” he
said. “I don’t know of any
black elected officials from
white colleges.’’
There will be an
important need in this
nation for black leadership
in the future, according to
Young.
“We are going to have a

Veterinarian
Shortage In U.S

If the shortage of doctors

discouraging, the need for
veterinarians is just a little

The use of police officers
in the teaching of driver
education to young drivers
can be an effective
community relations tool,
according to the director of
the Safety and Driver
Education Center at A&T
State University.
“Police and community
relations can be enhanced
by employing the expertise
of well-informed police
officers in driver education
classes,” said Dr. Isaac
Barnett.
Writing in the November
issue of “Traffic Safety”,
the monthly publication of
the National Safety Coun
cil, Barnett said;
“Young drivers, who are

in an age group that has a
disproportionately high in
cidence of violations and
accidents, would undoubt
edly become better traffic
citizens as a result of
lectures by trained police
men.”
Barnett said that police
men often have traffic and
safety information not
readily available to the
regular teachers of driver
education.
“The officer’s special
contribution should be
explanation of the policies,
practices, and problems
related to the traffic
activities of his own
department,” added Bar
nett.
He said other valuable
knowledge of the police
officers includes knowledge
of the major traffic arteries
of the city or county, spots
at which accidents occur
most frequently, awareness
of enforcement policies as
they apply to the violations
that produce accidents, and
detailed knowledge of the
problem of drinking and
driving.
Barnett said involvement
of police officers in the
driver education course can
also help to create a
favorable image of the
policeman as a sincere
individual who is interested
in keeping people from
killing or injuring them
selves.
“This will allow some
students,” said Barnett,
“for the first time to
perceive an officer as a
helping hand."
