"I believe every yountr person should have the opportunity to learn to drive a car. They have quick reflexes and good sense (in most cases) and the ability to become excellent drivers. "The use of the family car for errands, trips to the library, can increase self-confidence and teach responsibility.

"However, free access to a car at any time of day or night is more often detrimental than beneficial. True, young people could be good drivers, but the car, if used excessively, may contribute to juvenile delinquency, failing grades, conceit and cockiness. Young people often think that the possession of a car classifies them as adults and entitles them to adult privileges. "For these reasons, parents should lay down rules concerning the use of the car and enforce them. With proper supervision and training, young people would be much better drivers and juvenile delinquency rates would drop."

Kaliski, 2405 Sterling Road. KATHI, A 7TH grader at Burt6n School, wrote on Swimming Safety. Larry's essay was on "What The Word Safety Means to Me." Mary Kathryn (who goes by the name Kathy) and John both compiled lists of safety rules. Their entires were Imaginative and original, including a few rules for safety which might never occur to adults: "Don't Walk in "Don't punch somebody in the "Sit on four legs of a "Don't play with moth and "Keep little children away from electricity."

and Mrs. James Roberts, 114 Peerman Drive, is this week's Youth Speaks Out winner and will receive $." for her letter on young people and automobiles. Janice, who will be a junior at Stratford High School in the fall, il a member of the office staff, drama club, school chorus and Junior Classical League. As might have been predicted, no letters were received from young people who were opposed to young people driving automobiles. MOST, however, qualified their approval by calling for strict control by parents and law enforcement agencies and exhorting teen-agers to realize that reasonable limits must be set.

Janice said her father Is teaching her and her 12-year-old brother to drive, in parkins lots and parks. "But he doesn't want us to get a license and get out on the road until we are 18," she said. "He is teaching ui to back up and park, just getting used to the feel of the wheel, so we can get the most out of taking a driver's training course at school." The young man's viewpoint about driving was vigorously stated by Thomas I. Williams, 18, of Winchester, a freshman at Tennessee Tech. HE SAID any attempt to keep teen-agers from driving automobiles would have about as much success as the old prohibition laws had.

He defended teen-aged drivers at length, then fired a few volleys at adult drivers. "Most adults go about 30 or 35 miles per hour just to they can look at all the pretty houses and scenery," he wrote. "A high school driver concentrates on the road.

"This would increase our consistently good coverage area southward to the Alabama line, eastward to Cross-ville and westward to Paris," said Glazier. He said he will ask the Metro Transitional Board of Education Thursday to approve an application to the Federal Communication Commission, Washington, D.C., to boost Channel 2 from its current 16.000 watts to 100,000.

"MEANWHILE, a line of cars has formed behind th slow driver, waiting for a rhanre to pass. Someone gets tired of waiting, takes a chance, and more times than not, has an accident.

Slow drivers don't have accidents they cause them." Williams said he was tired of hearing criticism of young; drivers and asked that the state of Tennessee stop issuing driver's licenses to elderly persons. "The should make the physical exam more thorough and complete," he wrote. This, he said, would ellnii-nate drivers "who can't hear the sound of their own voice and can see past their glasses rilOSt. AL 4-1693 I-OR WIGS htmrd, Srt 8 Cnhrtd hairstylists, inc. 1WS I.

THERE WILL be some areas beyond the expected extended coverage radius (Cross-ville, Alabama line and Paris) that will be able to get Channel 2 well on most days, according to Glazier, who said mountain range and other terrain factors will affect the reception area. Currently, the telecasts go northward as far as Bowling Green, and that city has one of 20 Tennessee and Kentucky school systems using KTV programs and study guides for courses prepared by the station. Glazier, referring to the contract which provides $503,000 to the station in state funds over the next two years, said this authorization is under a 1963 legislative act establishing a state educational television network. Some of the Channel 2 pro-prams will he used by other ETV stations in Tennessee as these stations are developed.

The only other one now is in Memphis, but others are in the planning stages, including one in Chattanooga and one in Knoxville. GLAZIER SAID that Channel 2 will have a $256,750 operating budget during the 1963-64 school year, with $121,750 to come from Metro and $134,000 from the state and other school systems. The Metro in-rrease, he said, will be only $1,750 over the 1962-63 budget, the first year of the station's operations. He said that Howard Warf, state education commission, required Channel 2 to redflce its charges to other school systems for study guides in order to be eligible for the state funds. The station has been getting 75 cents a year for each pupil enrolled in each system using the services, and this will be cut to 25 cents per pupil next year, said Glazier.

Of the $503,000, there will be $275,000 to buy equipment, which will be leased by the state (on a no cost basis), and $228,000 will be for operating funds, to be paid at the rate of $114,000 per year. The station has the power to control programming, under the state contract, according to Glazier. The state paid $50,000 of the operating budget this year. i Tell Your Vacation Aims Next Summer Is here and vacation can be either a time of excitement or ho-hum boredom it's all up to you.

Dr. Thomas E. Snyder, world's foremost authority on termite protection, says: 4 Mayor Beverly Briley told Metropolitan Council's youth guidance committee yesterday that a permanent department to deal with problems of juveniles "is definitely needed in Nashville." "I have no preconceived notions," the mayor said. "But I believe that somewhere in the framework of the new government there should be a department to coordinate the many agencies which presently are working separately to solve various phases of the juvenile problem." George H. Currey, special investigator for the district attorney, later suggested to the grouo that a permanent "youth bureau" be established.

THIS AGENCY would operate independently of the police department and juvenile court. Currey said, "but would act as liaison between the two." The youth guidance committee met yesterday with Briley to discuss the feasibility of providing for an agency similar to that which Currey suggested. Councilman-at-1 a Tom McGrath, chairman of the committee, told the members: "I personally feel that a community the size of ours KTV station on hp samp power as the three commercial stations here, according to Glazier. He said the power increase will be one of the major items to be financed under a recent committmnt from the Tennessee Education Department to iurn over $503,000 to the station during the next two years in operational funds and in capital outlay. Channel 2 now has consistently good reception at points up to 50 airline miles from Nashville, and this will be boosted to 65 under the planned power boost, Andrew McMaster, chief engineer, said.

But. said Glazier, the station has been received well as far eastward as Sparta (about 80 road miles from Nashvillp); as far west as needs a department like this. But we are discussing a whole new field and we welcome suggestions." There was general agreement among those who attended yesterday's meeting that something should be done to coordinate the activities of the many departments which work to solve juvenile problems. "THERE IS no coordination now at all," Briley said. "They're all running over each other with no order or regulation." Although there are several agencies in the Metropolitan area designed to help youths who are in trouble, there is little that is done to solve the problem before it becomes serious.
