C. 5 Safety Bills To Face Battle In Assembly Five traffic safety bills which could save more than 500 of the almost 2,000 deaths each year on state roads will face voting action in the next session of the Geor gia General Assembly. Capitol sources feel that the controversial bills will realize a tough battle for approval in the assembly and that public opinion will account for a significant margin of favor. The proposals—which will deal with driver education, re-exami nation, medical services and ha bitual offenders—should save part of an average 150 lives each month and an annual economic loss of S3OO million from wrecks on state highways. Legislators favoring state action against highway slaughter are presently gathering support from “Five for 500” seminars being held in a number of counties. The “500” meetings allow the state public to study all aspects of the five bills and their effect on road safety. From there it is hoped that citizens will contact their legislators to urge a vote favorable to their desire. The pending traffic safety bills are as follows: 1. State Financing for Driver Education designed to remedy Georgia’s standing as the only state in the southeast not provid ing financial aid to high school driver education programs. 2. Periodic Re-Examination— designed to test eyesight since it is the one facility which helps with 90 per cent of a driver’s decisions. 3. Habitual Offender Law— proposes a mandatory 1-5 year jail sentence for anyone caught driving without a license while committing a similar offense after three DUI convictions or 15 moving traffic violations with in a 10 year period. 4. State Licensing for Emerg ency Medical Services—designed to set up a licensing system whereby the Georgia Health De partment could impose standards of equipment, personnel training and operating procedures on res cue services. 5. Driver License Classification —calls for separate tests in each category of driving a car, motor cycle, bus and tractor trailer in the state. WORTHVILLE MRS. MINNIE LEE HODGES Rev. S. H.
