And voluntarily subjecting their vehicles to our emission checks was a calculated risk on the part of those motorists for they were aware of the Patrol’s ction that at least one out: of every five cars would fail to pass, and that it would become the owner’s financial responsibility to have his car brought up to minimum air pollution standards within 14 days. Our estimate was not too far off, for approximately 20 per cent of the vehicles, including volunteers, were defective but only eight per thousand were found to have smog control devices which had been tampered with or disconnected. The drivers of those cars were of course the ones who received punitive citations. The nature of the Patrol’s noise monitoring activities in _ Sacramento was such that it virtually was impossible for a driver to voluntarily take part but once again the results spoke strongly in favor of the integrity of the California driver. Out of 23,000 trucks, buses, passenger cars and motorcycles only 175 had illegally modified their’ vehicle’s exhaust systems. There were other “offenders—one of every 12 motorcycles, one of every 42 trucks and one of every 71 passenger cars—but the basic cause was a muffler that had become defective or inadequate without . the owner’s knowledge or assistance. ’ .

Pour off any excéss drippings. Stir in the water, remaining soup mix, catsup and . parsley and mix well. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, turning patties and stirring gravy well. . .after about 5-7 minutes cooking time. Uncover and finish cooking until meat is thoroughly done and gravy is at desired thickness. Yield: Six servings. Steamed rice or instant mashed potatoes go well with this; and a tossed green salad is a nice side dish for this menu.
