Two-Year Driver Earns Week’s Safe-Driving Honor
Mrs. Mike Proulx Jr., German war bride who earned her first permit two years ago, was named one of Beaverhead County’s safest drivers by Chief Leo Williams. She attributed driving learning to her new country and urged universal driver testing while citing German regulations as stricter with fewer cars. Williams credited her careful hand signaling for the award which came with ten gallons of gas from Bud Gransberg’s Farmers Union station. George F. Melton made a business trip to Butte Monday.
