Driver education has taken
a turn for the better as class
room students are steered in
the right direction through the
use of a driving simulator sys
tem that gives the green light
to indoor training. The system
was developed by a company
long a leader in the design and
manufacturer of military, com
mercial and space-flight equip
ment.
“Our driving simulator sys
tem has two major advantages
over the traditional car-only
method of training new driv
ers,” notes a representative of
the Link Division of The Singer
Company.
“From the standpoint of eco
nomics, group training in the
simulator makes possible a sub
stantial reduction in cost. In
car training is expensive since
the teacher can only instruct a
few students at one time. Per
haps most important, Simula -
fan fa's on his way with a sleighful of
merry wishes for you, plus a
Peace.- J|

tion can expose the student to
potentially hazardous traffic
situations without risk to him
self or others.”
Students drive on a realistic
motion picture roadway shown
in wide screen and color at the
front of the classroom. What
they see on the screen repre
sents the view through the
windshield of an actual car.
The system uses multiple
units to enable one instructor
to provide quality instruction
to a large number of students
at a time without disturbing the
important tutorial relationship
between student and instructor.
More than a simple replace
ment for a car, it is a laboratory
tool that enables the student to
practice driving techniques in
a variety of driving environ
ments.
As they drive, students are
confronted with situations re
quiring responses such as sig
Jac ks R estaurant
nal, brake, shift, steer, deceler
ate-in fact all of the responses
that might be required by a
driver in a car on a real street
or highway. Driving actions
can be electronically monitored
by the system to provide the in
structor with a continuing prog
ress report on both the individ
ual student and the class as a
whole.
Simulator films are produced
by audio visual specialists and
educators of the Allstate Insur
ance Company’s‘staff with the
guidance and technical assist
ance of leading driver educa
tors. Cars are 48 inches long,
29 inches wide, 37V2 inches high
and weigh 250 pounds. The
driving compartments contain
the actual controls and instru
ments of a popular make Amer
ican automobile.
This system of driver educa
tion is putting a growing num
ber of “roads scholars’ on the
road to safer driving.
In the East a Star shone,
guiding the Wise Men to the
sacred manger. Let the
message of the Nativity
light the way for us today...
to the blessings of
lasting Peace and Good Will.

They've Taken
'Rain' Out Of
Raincoats
Couturier styling and lux
urious fabrics have taken the
’ rain” out of raincoats and
made them fashionable for
all occasions and all seasons.
Now they’re more aptly
called multi-purpose coats
. . . eminently wearable and
easily packable for today’s
fast-paced living.
Exotic wild animal prints,
Empire waistlines, cavalier
capes, and glorified coach
man’s coats are among the
new fashion ideas to be found
in current collections of these
versatile coats. Many have
matching skirts in novelty
fabrics or high fashion
shades.
An outstanding group is
the zoo print category . . .
furry-looking patterns so
realistically portrayed on
smooth cotton twill that you
feel almost compelled to
touch them.
Especially noteworthy is a
jaguar-printed cotton shaped
into a double-breasted coat
with split raglan shoulder
and stand-up collar.lt boasts
a detachable lining for
weather changes.
In the same category is a
turtle-print on ribbed cotton
with perfectly simulated
beige and brown scales. The
coat is styled with back full
ness from a deep inverted
pleat.
Another eye-catching de
sign is a dashing cavalier
cape of ribbed cotton in a
bold yellow and black tiger
print. It has a matching A
line skirt.
Trend-setting stripes are
also important in multi-pur
pose coats, ranging from
awning-wide to pin-thin ver
sions. All are imaginatively
designed. Stripes may run up
and dov/n, circle around, or
be combined for a horizontal
yoke and a vertical skirt.
White, alabaster, mandarin
orange, and brown are im
portant colors, along with
black which is shown in
every category. Other colors
of interest include nastur
tium and burmese pink.
For all their stylish detail
ing, the new crop of multi
purpose coats is highly prac
tical. Most are treated for
spot, stain, and crease resist
ance.
Water-repellent finishes
have been improved so that
they’re longer-lasting, too.
Many of the new weather
treated coats can take up to
five dry cleanings without
having to be reprocessed.
Ever Tried Swedish Embroidery?
If half the fun of Christ
mas is in the giving, then
you can double your pleas
ure by making the gift your
self.
For those who’re talented
with a needle, Swedish em
broidery is a fascinating
handwork that looks more
complicated than it is.
It gives an expensive
hand-loomed look to a vari
ety of gift items—from
simple borders on placemats
or aprons to all-over embroi
dery on pillows or pocket
books.
The intricate-looking de
signs are created by run
ning contrasting embroidery
thread under the raised
threads in the weave of cot
ton huck toweling.
For best results, use a tap
estry or blunt needle so the
raised threads in the towel
ing can be picked up easily.
You can create an endless
