A very many years ago in a small town lived a boy, a girl, and a dog. The dog was the smartest of the three. He, as male dogs are referred to, was a Saint Bernard; a big hairy and muscular dog standing about two feet six inches tall. This dog, towering over the boy and the girl, would romp around town like he owned it. The boy was the son of a wealthy landowner, who made millions off of the poor folks everywhere. The girl was the daughter of the only banker in town, who made his millions by investing other people’s money in various Wall Street dealings. His bank was only one for miles and miles, so he had to protect the town from unscrupulous dealers and rich landowners. To do this, he set up a trust for the town and invested the town-people’s money, for the well-being of everybody in the town. Doing this for the town, he was unanimously elected Mayor and treasurer. Mayor Howard Purcell was by far, the best mayor the town ever had.
The girl was not of school age, so the mayor would occasionally take her to his office and show her what he did for a living. On these days he would give her a book to read, from his many office book shelves. She grew up, reading good books and knowing the good things her father did for everybody; she was very proud of him.
The boy was an avid reader of many books fit for him and was going to school for two years now. Second grade tied the boy down from advancing and he was very bored with being a second grader. He had been gifted with a very good ability to read and learn, so every chance he got, he would be reading any book he got from his father’s library. His great ability first came about when he was young, and did something wrong, his father would lock him in the library with one book and told him he would not get to eat dinner if he did not at least start reading the book. As time gradually went on, he volunteered to read instead of being punished by reading. He thought it would be best to read a book that had a cover that fascinated him. His vocabulary improved greatly as he read more and more books.

The All American Massachusetts Driving Test
The drivers in this big economy boosting State of Massachusetts probably could not adequately pass, with a margin no better than one in ten persons. The test would be ten questions made mandatory by state law. Ask any one driver; Who would have the right of way on any Massachusetts roadway? And they would reply, “I would definitely have the right of way.” I decided that I would look out for that one and stay out of their way; oh what a driver.
This test that could so easy be voted down, could be a surprise test consisting of ten to fifteen questions and could be issued as a compulsory test prior to assignment of Auto insurance by the insurance industry or the registry. The results would be then used in determining the so called *Safe Driver Plan* instead of the current plan that penalizes what the insurance industry calls *bad drivers* .
Well, folks; if you don’t want drunk drivers, speeding, or any other reckless driving on Massachusetts roadways– DO SOMETHING
