Local policemen will direct the traffic around the closed street and usher the cars through the Safety Lane while state patrolmen will keep the records of each test. All tests will be made absolutely free of charge to the motorists in the interests of fewer automobile fatal- ities. ff Test Mechanical Parts Brakes, lights, wheel alignment, horns and other mechanical appar- atus will be thoroughly tested, mak- ing it easy for motorists to locate any existing imperfections which might! lead to accident and death on the! streets or highways. Duplicate copies of sh car’s test will be kept by the clteckers, One copy will be filed at the offices of the highway patrol and the other copy will be given to the motorist.

Four Mintues Required “It will take only four minutes to complete the entire tésting work,” sponsors of the safety program said Saturday after conducting several sample tests. “No motorist can be without this valuable service and the program should go a long way toward reducing accidents on the streets in the fu- ture,” Chief of Police W. R. Ebeling stated. Frank Putnam, head of the state highway patrol, pointed out that once the cars have been checked and put in first class condition, and the signed records of the repair work mailed to the highway patrol offices, the mo- torist will be insured of a “clean bill of sale” in case he should be involved in an accident where the mechanical apparatus of the car should be held as a responsible factor.

Number roper Hand Signals,” follow: By CHARLES A. HARNETT Corhmissioner of Motor Vehicles, New York Member, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, HAND signaling is the most di- rectly personal way to coop erate with another motorist on the street and highway. Yet, despite the ease with which hand signaling can be done and the added safety it gives to driving, there were 28,- 000 accidents caused by failure to signal or improper signaling in this country last year. These accidents killed more than 200 and injured more than 33,000 persons, accord- ing to statistics compiled by a member company of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters. Hand signaling is a law in some states, but it is a courtesy every- where. Too many of us who pride ourselves on good manners do not seem to realize what bad manners we are guilty of on the road. Indi- cating by a proper gesture whether you are stopping or turning to the left or right is only the ordinary consideration you owe the motorist behind you. And that simple ges- ture may save you and your car from a bad accident. Olson Favors Pushing Bancorporation Case St. Paul, Oct. 19—(7)—Gov. Floyd B. Olson said Saturday he favors con- tinuance of prosecution of the North- west Bancorporation cases now pend- It is true that hand signaling laws and customs vary in different states. However you cannot ge wrong by (1) extending your arm and making a forward rotary mo tion of the hand when you slow down to turn right, (2) extending your arm straight out and pointing with the index finger when you in- tend to turn left, (3) extending your arm straight out with the or slow down. This will inform the driver behind you approximately what your next move will be and what his next move should be. In winter time many drivers do not signal because their window is up. Courtesy is not a seasonal obli- gation, and signaling is more im- Portant than ever on winter's slip- ery roads. The slight effort of low- ering the window enough to allow giving the proper signal is more than worth the trouble. You will appreciate it when another motor- ist does the same for you.
