But the problem driver Isn't a fellow who seems to be able to talk his problems out on or off the couch. Dr. A. R. Laucr director of Iowa State College's Driver Research Laboratory, feels that since we can't con vince drivers they can't S'oe in the dark, we must do some thing to make automobiles more visible under night driving con ditions. Earl M. Larimer, vice-president and safety counselor for a large insurance company and former safety director of Minn esota, agrees with Dr. Lauer.

Reflective plates respond to headlight beams long before the light ordinarily would re veal an automobile. They reflect safety warnings to drivers of oncoming vehicles as far as 2,- RADIATOR REPAIRING ONE-DAT SERVICE Plattsmouth Motors 625 Ave. A Ph. 287 - .
