The program is characterized as
1 "perhaps the greatest single safety
move in industrial history,” by Al-
van Macauley, president of the Auto-
mobile Chamber, and former chair-
man of its Street Traffic Committee.
“This widespread experiment will
strike right at the heart of the un-
safe vehicle problem by eliminating
a huge block of those cars which are
in the poorest condition,” says Mr.
Macauley.
One of the hazards of the high-
way situation has been the rattle-,
trap car which keeps re-appearing
on the read after it has presumably
been sent to the discard. The aim
of this progtam is to guarantee the
actual acrapping of the vehicle. The
Plan will be worked out by each
company participating, in line with
its general sales policies and the
volume of ita production.

him to think and act for himself, with
the help of a very good friend of
the family.
