The United States is full of cars. There are still many families without
cars, but some families have two or more. However, cars are used for more than
pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.
Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by
workers who have no other ways to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to
different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their
products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.
Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school
buses are used only when children live more than a mile away from the school.
When the children are too young to walk too far, their mothers take turns
driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children
and the neighbors' as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on
Wednesdays, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car
pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all
work.
More car pools should be formed in order to have fewer cars on the road
and use less gas. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be
done about the use of cars.
