In view of occasional motoring
mishaps, it is quite comforting to
realize that the Highway Patrol of
the Automobile Club of Southern
California, continuously patrols
the thoroughfare shown on the
opposite side of this strip map, as
well as practically all other main
thoroughfares in the thirteen
southern counties.
During a period of five years, the
Highway Patrol cars of your Club
have traveled more than 3,000,-
000 miles over these highways,
constantly rendering aid to Club
members.
The patrol cars are manned by
veteran mechanics in specially
equipped automobiles, and their
duties consist of medical and
mechanical first aid, towing
stranded motorists, changing tires,
furnishing gasoline in a reasonable
quantity to those out of fuel,
removing broken glass from the
roads, aiding in the straightening
out of traffic jams, posting detour
signs, watching for stolen cars and
furnishing road information upon
request.
They ^re the "Good Shepherds"
of Southern California highways.
They charge nothing fortheir service and accept no fees.
