No. 3 (6" × 31/2") "My brakes let me down on the hill" "Well, it was a sad busi- ness," says Policeman 101. "Van driver lost control coming down a hill and crashed into a school girl. Of course, she ought to have been keeping a better look- out. But if those brakes had only been checked before the van started, the accident might never have happened." ¶ A little extra trouble may mean the difference between life and death. This is es- pecially true just now. Sur- faces are war-worn. Traffic is heavier, and many pedestrians and children are unused to it.
