Harrisburg July 12 A training school to teach the teachers of 69 proposed safe driver clinics for Pennsylvania was advocated by Police Commissioner P W Foote. The program would select about 300 young men from relief rolls for one month of automobile operation courses at the State Police school at Myerstown.

Foote said he aims to develop 300 competent instructors and five teachers per school within four months to launch free driving schools for beginner motorists.
