lations having as their object the provision of issuing a book containing motoring rules, to be supplied to every applicant for a motor driving licence?

Lieut.-Colonel ASHLEY

I have had under consideration for some time the issue of an official book or pamphlet on the subject. In the meantime I am drawing the attention of licensing authorities to a booklet published by the National "Safety First" Association entitled "Safe Motoring" and have suggested that they should consider the desirability of distributing a copy of this booklet with each driving licence issued. The Association have been good enough to offer to supply copies to licensing authorities, for the time being, free of cost for the purpose. The booklet contains much useful information with regard to the rules and courtesies of the road, and I hope that its wide distribution will have beneficial results.
