COURTESY ON THE ROAD
Authorities differ on just what constitutes courtesy in muloring. However, this list, written by Bud Landis, the American humorist, contains ideas crude enough to be practical. 1. Never run_ over a pedestrian without excusing yourself. 2. Dii not appear eager when crowding a smaller car off the road. 3. Upon hilling an immovable object col no to a full stop. 4. Refrain from turning corners in the middle of the Ijlock. 5. Show proper respect for battered five-ton trucks. 6. Don't argue with the wife while driving; yen have a home for that purpose. Application of these simple rules is bound to reduce the number of mass meetings on our highways. Needless to say, standing back and allowing a train to use the crossing first is a bit of refinement in which virtue is its own reward.
