Midwest motor car dealers have manned the supply line tor an all-out attack on teen-age traffic accidents. , The merchandisers of Illinois and Indiana are furnishing training cars for upwards of 280 high schools which have made the effective driver education and safety training program a part of their regular curriculum this year, Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, revealed. These classes will Utke care of the basic and practical traffic safety training of more than 18,- 000 students in the club-sponsored territory. Since the club established the first high school training courses in its area in 1946, ' with six schools participating, some 40,000 students have received the classroom and behind-the-wheel education, Hayes announced. About 17,000 were enrolled in 240 classes last year. In addition approximately 2,500 adults--ninety percent of them women--have taken the complete sportsmanship courses. Many other parents have benefited from the safe driving lessons brought home to them. The pioneer schools cooperating with the club in launching this life-and-death phase of modern education included Evanston high school, normal college, the University of Illinois and New Trier high school in Wtanetka In Illinois, and Washington high school, East Chicago, and Whiting high school in Indiana. They established regular classes in the 1946-47 school year. In the 1947-48 sessions the driver training courses jumped to 125 programs in club territory. In 1948-49 a total of 206 programs - ISO in Illinois and 76 in Indiana vere under way. During the 1949-50 school year. 235 training cars were supplied by automobile dealers cooperating with the club, President Hayes added. In several instances two or more schools shared use of a training car. These rolling classrooms, which are equipped with dual controls by the club and donated by the dealer for one school year, later going into used car sales floors. Included: 101 Chevrolets, 94 Fords, 15 Pontlacs, 10 Plymouths, 4 Dodges, 3 Oldsmobiles, 3 Nashes, 2 Kaiser-Frasers, 2 Studebakers and 1 Packard. A few of the dealers furnished gas, oil and repairs for the cars. The majority of schools care for upkeep. In some Instances dealers cover the cars by Insurance and handle storage. • To train teachers I* the safe driving instruction program, Chicago. Motor club Multiple Sclerosis The formation of hard, patchy scars in the central nervous system of the body characterizes a disease known as multiple sclerosis.' Why they form is not known, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society reports in a Health Talk. While accurate statistics are not yet available, the disease is widely prevalent and is believed to cripple twice as many persons as does infantile paralysis. Multiple sclerosis means hardened spots occurring in many places. The disease does not seem to localize, but is likely to be manifest in any part of the body, resulting in interference with function of nerve tissue, that is difficulty in vision, in, gait, in movement and in speech. Multiple sclerosis is "one of the most baffling and devastating diseases in existence." Chaf&cteristic early symptoms, depending tiple solerosis wilt found In the research laboratory. Just four years ago, in 194$, a group of citizens, some of them victims of the disease, and nerve specialists, combined to form the Association for the advancement of Research on Multiple Scleroajs. Under their cooperative attack, It is to be hoped that the cause and cure of the j disease will be established. . 1 . C. NOTE!

Investigators. working on the problem found that a large proportion of patients with multiple sclerosis had more fibrinogen in their blood than normal persons. Fibrinogen is a protein which' forms essential portion of blood clots. If that theory is proved true, it would account for the numerous blood clots in veins of the brain and spinal cord which presumably might bring on the disease.

In the last three years, seventeen courses in teacher training have been conducted, training 536 high «chool teachers. Nationally, about 4,600 dualcontrol cars are available to American public and parochial high schools, according to Lou. E. Holland, president of the American Automobile Association. It 1b estimated that more than 200,000 high school sudents will be trained in safe driving practices and sportsmanship motor car operation throughout the country in the school year ahead. "Driving records of graduates of these safe driving courses are startling," President Hayes pointed out. "They show that the students who have taken the training have less than half of the accidents on untrained drivers in the same age group. Improvement of both driving gfettl* and attitudes result from this vital instruction and practice." "We don't know whose dog It is so we chase it away. Usually it gets back in a day or week.
