Martha SUff, left Is pictured here talking to Francewco (Frank) Negro, our Italian exchange student UiIh year. Martha wan our exchange student to Finland this past jammer, and alno an American tdster to Frank, since he Is the house Rfest of the Cary Stiff residence In Ada. Martha sailed from Montreal on June 11, and arrived in Hameen- linna, Finland, on the 24th, where she was greeted by her Finnish family, Mr. and Mrs. Vaino Rlskl. Martha found that the Finnish schools were much different than ours, but were typically European. The best students enter high school, only with a high scholasvic ability, and other students attend trade school. Language is a very im- portant subject and Swedish, Fin- nish, French, and English are re- quired. Students begin their lan- guages in the elementary grades. The schools have no recreation at all, except for an occasional dance before a holiday. Football and baseball were almost unheard of. During her visit, Martha found that the teen-age thrive for popu- lar music was much the same, al- though waltzes and classical mu- sic were also favorites. The main difference Martha found was in the food. Many types of breads and cobblers are eaten. A greater amount than we eat. Blood pancakes (made from ani- mal blood) and paw fish were a couple of foods she didn't care for. Martha was able to tour many cities and visit many interesting places, such as Lapland. Before leaving, all the Finnish exchange students met in Helsinki for a three day tour. She sailed trom Rotterdam on August 25, where she met Frank Negro. They were greeted in New York City, by Martha's brothers, and then re- turned home by train. Martha is a senior at Lowell, this year. Frank Negro Frank Negro, exchange student from Barl, Italy, Is also a senior this year. He was chosen by the American Field Service to stay with the Cary Stiff family. He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Settimio Negro. The courses he will be studying this year include Physics, Govern- ment, U. S. History, English and General Choir. Outside his studies Frank enjoys fencing, swimming, and cycling activities. Reading and listening to music are also inter- ests, and he also hopes to learn more about playing the piano while he is here. Along with his talents, mathe- matics and science are particular Interests. He has also had four languages, and comes very highly recommended by his teachers. FlnanceH For the past two years the I^)W- ell Rotary Club has done a fine job of sponsoring the exchange students, but due to the great In- terests In the students, the pro- gram has been turned over to the school. Finances will be provided for Frank by the school migazlne sales. Mr. Stephen Nisbet, princi- pal, and Donald Kelly are co- chairmen of the program.

Community Chest Appeal Being Made Here

Again this fall you'll he asked to give to the United Communi ty Fund campaign . A neighbor will knock at the d(X)r, and, if you ask where the money you give is going, 1 h e l l he glad to tell y o u : to the Boy Scouts, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Girl Scouts local groups and serv ices whose n a m e s and whose good works you know something about.

He will mention the Michigan United Fund, a n a m e you m a y not recognize or be f ami l i a r with.

You m a y ask, "What kind of an agency is t h a t ? "

Brief ly, It 's a state-wide organiza-tion tha t supports s t a t e and na-tional services in the s a m e way the United Community Fund sup-ports local services .

Like the United Communi ty Fund, it is a single organizat ion that de-cides each agency ' s f a i r sha re of your generos i ty : then it se t s out to ra i se the money needed, and di-vides tha t money fair ly a m o n g the 27 s t a t e and national se rv ices it suppor ts .

Unl ike the United Communi ty Fund, It does not come knocking

1 at y o u r door. All money ra ised by the Michigan United Fund Is rais-ed through the local communi ty

chest , red fea ther , and to rch drives throughout the s t a t e of Michigan.

So when you cont r ibute to the Unl ' ed Communi ty Fund , a part of your contribution goes to the Michi-gan United Fund to be dis tr ibuted to s t a t e and national hea l th and w e l f a r e agencies . . .agencies like the USO. Trave le r s Aid. t he Michi-gan Hear t Association, and the Michigan Epilepsy Cen te r and As-sociation. . .services that o therwise would have to hold a s co re of Indi-vidual drives to raise funds .

But because the Uni ted Com-muni ty Fund includes the Michi-gan United Fund as one of its bene-fit ing organizations, you a r e spar-ed t h e nuisance of m a n y sepa ra t e c a m p a i g n s : campa igns by United Ce reWal Palsy , by the H e a r t As-sociat ion, and the Menta l Health Society and by the o the r services of t h e Ml higan United Fund . You give to these s ta te and national s e rv i ces when you give to the Mich-igan United Fund through the Uni-ted Communi ty Fund . Your one gift Includes local serv ices , to be s u r e ; It also includes s t a t e and na-t ional services .

The Michigan United Fund serves locally. The G r a n d R a p i d s or Kent County child taken to Ann Arbor fo r t r e a tmen t gets the benefi t of up-to-the-minute h e a r t r e sea rch . T h e Michigan Hear ing Associatjop and the Michigan Epi lepsy Associ-at ion both send mobile units to G r a n d Rapids and Kent County to m a k e tests and suggest t r ea tmen t . This m a k e s the se rv ice rendered by th i s . " s t a t e " agency " loca l " s e rv i ce : Trave le r s Aid helps Grand R a p i d s & Kent County residents whe the r they a r e he re o r in Tala-h a s s e e : the USO is a local service In t h e sense tha t it a ids your Grand Rapids , Kent County sons and d a u g h t e r s who m a y be in Nome or Rangoon.

In this sense, all se rv ices a r e local . They help Grand Rapids and Kent County to a happ ie r life. And they deserve a part of your gener-ous contribution.

Back in 1947, Henry Ford H call-ed a meet ing of r epresen ta t ive citi-zens f r o m every par t of Michigan. To t h e m he said. "1 a m confronted a lmost f 'aily with u rgen t appeals fo r contributions and for leader-ship in worthy health and wel fa re p ro jec t s . . .1 believe t he se essential se rv ices deserve our full support . But I also believe the growing multiplicity of appea l s makes It i m p e r a t i v e that a more order ly and businessl ike method of f inancing mus t be devised.

" A generation ago, the leaders in Amer ican eommunl t ies faced a s imi la r situation. With vision and foresight they developed federa ted f inancing and planning for local social services th rough the Com-muni ty Chest m o v e m e n t .

• i f i rmly believe the t ime has a r r ived when the clvle leaders of th i s country should c r e a t e a s trong federa t ion of national health mid w e l f a r e agencies. That movement can s ta l l In Michigan now."

It did. The result Is t he Michigan United Fund.

The Michigan United Fund is an organizat ion of volunteers . Each of the commit tees that KUlde It m a d e up of represen ta t ive people f r o m every section of Michigan, bus inessmen, professional people, housewives, labor leaders , and in-d u s t r i A l l s t s .

An ordi-n a r y life policy is good fo r pro-tection of the widow. Or you m a y want to invest igate the combina-tion or fami ly Income policy to use instead of two s e p a r a t e ones.

If you have a house you need insurance on it. And m o r t g a g e re-demption insurance Is highly de-s i rable . This is a decreas ing t e r m i n s u r a n c e - r a t e s a re quite reason-able for young men. After 35 per-haps It is too expensive.

Hospital insurance is. of course, impor tan t for the whole fami ly . If you have the opportunity \o get on a group plan that o f f e r s good coverage, t ake advan tage of It. The newest th ing avai lable In this line is " c a t a s t r o p h e " or m a j o r medica l Insurance. You can reduce the p r e m i u m cost by having a deduct-ible amount , l ike $200--just like au to insurance. A co-Insurance c lause- -you a g r e e to pay the first 10 to 25 percent a lso r educes

cost . Loss of income insurance Is also

des i rable , but the re Is a limit a s to the amount a family can af ford . If t he wife Is p repa red to ea rn a living, tha t m a y be the protect ion against loss of f a t h e r ' s Income.

When bed t ime Is h happy t i m e it 's eas ie r for children to accept the " s a n d m a n " say nh M develop-men t special ists at Michigan S ta te Universi ty .

Business Wants 'Mature Autocraf

Julius C a e s a r p robably would m a k e a good pres ident of a la rge corporation if he were alive today.

The large Amer ican corporat ions today a re looking for just the sort of man the shrewd R o m a n l eader w a s supposed to be, according to Dr . Eugene E. Jennings , assoc ia te professor of business adminis t ra -tion at Michigan Sta te Universi ty.

"What big business wants at Its helm today is what I like to call t he 'Mature Autocrat '—a m a n who is willing to t ake ini t ia t ive and a s s u m e author i ty , but who does not m a k e o thers above or below feel Insecure , " Dr . J enn ings s ta t -ed, "He Is decisive but not ob-noxious. He does not have to rely on Ihe opinions of others , but m a y acquire t h e m If It m e a n s his pro-g r a m will be be t te r accepted .

" In o ther words, he can c a r r y the ball without antagonizing the t e a m . "

Dr. Jennings , who Is mak ing a long-term s tudy of the business ex-ecutive, bel ieves these qual i t ies a r e more impor tan t to the execu-t ive than high Intelligence

"In tes t ing execut ives I have not found thai they a re overly brighl

they a r e not Intellectuals as a ru le ," he explained

"1 am willing to believe that th* American business lyv tem does not require great Intelligence. What It heeds m o r e Is the energet ic and ambit ious p e n o n who has what could be t t e r be descr ibed as shrew ness a prac t ica l Intell igence not easily m e a s u r e d by tests . This shrewdness amounts to a clever-ness In seeing a r r a n g e m e n t s and associat ions which h a v e not exist ed previously, and the d r ive and power to implement them for the company . "

Ingenuity and Small Emergency Are Basic Ingredients of Invention

The basic ingredients oi a good

invention often a r e ingenuity and a smal l e m e r g e n c y : m o n e y and education a re less Impor tan t »han a lively mind.

So wri tes John C. Green .

Some years ago, Albert A. MlcheUon clocked the speed of light, with a device he Invented and built h imsel f , at a cost of just $10.

A fo rmer chief eng ineer at Car-negie Hall . Ar thur Maroth , sa id : "When you get mad enough at something to kick It o r swea r al It, you a re very close to Invention." The m a n to whom he sa id this re-inembered It when a sa le sman was demons t ra t ing a v a c u u m clean-er In his home. It sucked up a c o m e r of a throw rug and wouldn't let go, The s a l e sman t r ied to kick lhe rug loose; he knocked over a telephone stand and began to swear . This r a n g a bell In the .ither m a n ' s mind.

Next morning, he woke with the Idea for a thumb-opera ted valve In the c leaner handle which would make the m a c h i n e let go In such si tuat ions: a bona fide, profi table Invention.

One hund red yea r s ago, Walter Hunt, Whose b a b y w a s cry ing, bent a piece of w i r e into the world 's f i rs t s a f e ty pin. More recent ly a California g a r a g e mechan ic used a hand m i r r o r and s o m e ninth-g rade physics to c r ea t e a signal-ing device with which a shipwreck-ed pilot c an b e a m a d is t ress signal at r escuers miles away .

Wate r the lawn as of ten a s is necessary to keep the sur face moist, using a fine sp ray to avoid wash ing the soil. You m a y have to sprinkle the new seeding two or t h r e e t imes daily.

Af ter the g rass is about one inch tall, you can wate r the lawn by soaking the soil to a depth of four to f ive inches and then allowing It to dry until the g r a s s shows signs of willing.

Gifted Kids Often Bother Their Parents

j Discovery of a gifted child usu-'al ly begins with a suspicion on i the part of his parents that the i child Is exceptionally talented, says i Warren A. Ketcham, associate pro-

fessor of education at the Univer-sity of Michigan.

However, he advises, "Before a parent takes a suspicion of his child's giftedness too seriously he needs to consider an important fact. The odds arc against him. If the term means only a very select group of children whose In-tellectual ability Is far above most cf their age mates, the odds are still smaller, only about two in 100 children.

What arc some typical character-istics which m a y lead parents to suspect their child of being gifted?

"Most gifted children accomplish almost everything sooner and bet-ter than less able children of the same age. There are, of course, exceptions, he says.

"When compared with other chil-dren of the s ame age In a com-munity the gifted child will be larger and stronger, will talk ear-lier and more, will be more curi-ous about his surroundings, will be more apt to notice events and changes in the home, will need less rest, will be more independent of his parents.

"He will become interested in printed wi rds and numbers earli-er, and will be more apt to want to go to school before the legal age for entrance. A suspicion of giftedness would be based on the presence of most or all of the characteristics over a period of several years . "

A word of caution: Says Pro-fessor Ketcham, "The above list of Imposing character is tka in a single child won't exactly make him an unmixed blessing.

"He will frequently irritate ad-ults. His curiosity will make it diffi-cult to keep him within sight and hearing. His physical size and strength will enable him to get lost more quickly and effectively than other children.

Well, before you hire him. It ' been declared hazardous by the would be a Rood idea to make sure Secretary of Labor. James P.

Mitchell. There a re 13 general categories

of hazardous jobs. The prohibited jobs Include work

in explosive plants, coal and ore mines, quarries, as truck drivers or helpers, at logging and sawmill operations, with power machinery for wood o r metals and In auto-mated bakeries, as hoist, crane and elevator operators, on jobs In-volving radioactive materials, at meat-packing plants, and in places where they produce clay construc-tion products such as bricks and tile.

The law Is complex and there a re many exceptions, even in the industries listed above as hazard-ous to minors.

The agency of the Federal gov-ernment which enforces the Child Labor Laws is the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions of the Department of Labor. Its dl-recior In the Ohio-Michigan region is William S. Singley with offices in Cleveland, Ohio.

Mr. Singley points out that young-sters may be lawfully hired for a variety of Jobs. "Although the law prohibits the employment of chil-dren under 14, the 14 or 15-year-old may be lawfully employed In office and sales work, fruit and vegetable packing sheds, and In a few other jobs—excluding work In manufacturing, mining, processing or similar jobs.

"It must be remembered, how-ever. that certain restrictions ap-ply during school hours for this age group. Youngsters of 14 and 15 may work only outside of school hours and a maximum of three hours on any school day. All work must also be performed between the hours of 7 a. m. and 7 p. m.

"An employer can protect him-self from unintentional violation of the Act if he obtains and keeps on file an age certificate showing the minor to be old enougn for the job in which he is employed. Such certificates can usually be obtained from local school officials."

The child-labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act apply to employment in interstate or for-eign commerce or in the produc-tion of goods for such commerce. There a r c a few exemptions from these provisions, however.

Mr. Singley points out that the child-labor provisions of the Act do not apply to actors or television performers or to children engaged as newspaper carriers. Nor does the Federal law cover such work as baby sitting, caddying, and working at the fountain of the local

jdrug store. The law also exempts "He win ask questions about mat-1 children working for their parents

New 'Wared' Apple Suited To Michigan

Idarcd, a new apple variety, may soon be coming from Michi-gan orchards.

According to a report Just re-leased by the Michigan Agricul-tural Experiment Station, the new apple Is well suited to Michigan conditions. Walter Toenjes. super-intendent of the Graham Experi-ment Station at Grand Rapids, states that Idared Is one of the most outstanding of more than 50 promising varieties to be tested at the station.

Apple-eaters will like the new variety. Fruits a re an attractive shade of medium bright red; the flesh Is white with an occasional trace of pink and is firm, crisp and juicy with a flavor resembling Jonathans.

Toenjes thinks growers will like the new apple. It Is a good yielder and Is comparatively free from many of the common apnle dis-eases.

Fruits keep well in common storage and in cold storage, they can be held in good eating con-dition until June and July.

S e v e r a l Michigan orchardists have already planted some Idared trees. And Toenjes thinks more growers will soon be following their lead. He suggests, however, that they put in only afew trees until they find out how the variety docs in their Individual orchards.

The new variety was developed at the Idaho Experiment Station.

Half Children's Deaths Caused By Accidents

Almost half of all deaths among Michigan children of school age are caused by accidents, the Mich-igan Department of Health an-nounced today.

"We hope that calling attention to this fact will spur parents and school teachers to attempt to do everything they can to help re-duce this unnecessary loss of life." explained Dr. Goldie B. Comelius-on, director of maternal and child health for the state health depart-ment.

She said that in 1957, accidents claimed 510 lives of school age children in Michigan, or 47 per cent of the total deaths In that age group. Motor vehicles account-ed for the major share of the ac-cidental deaths, causing 294 fatal-ities, or 58 per cent of the total accidental deaths.

"If we a re to keep children from being killed or injured in accidents, we must teach them to observe safety rules at all t imes," Dr. Comeliuson said.

"I t is especially important for children to learn to follow safety rules during those activities which statistics show to be especially dangerous for them. These activ-ities include going to or from school, playing at home or school, riding bicycles, and. if the young-sters a re old enough, driving a motor scooter or a ca r . "

TV News HIDDEN tALENT

Garry Moore Is a man of many talents- evidently a fact that con-tinues to surprise a number of the nation s TV viewers. During his 20 years in the entertainment busi-ness, Garry has been featured as a sports announcer, r id io comedi-an and TV p e r s o n a 111 y. "It 's funny," Moore explained to a re-porter. "for ei^ht years I sang, danced, cracked jokes and made faces. The housewives apparently loved my forays but never told anyone else. One night on ' I 've Got a Secret' Fred Astaire was 'he guest. We did a little dance to-gether and everyone practically passed out from pure a t r -zement . It was as though John Cameron Swayze had done a bubble dance with his boutonniere."

If your child plays hard or watch-1 es an cxcltlng program on tele-vision just before bedtime, he may have trouble settling down to sleep, points out Lennah Backus, exten-sion specialist in parent education and child development at Michi-gan State University. A quiet, lie-forc bedtime activity like a story can do a lot for getting children "in the mood" for sleeping.

Need Better Vision Tests

Vision tests now used in most schools fail to delect about half of all children needing care, ac-cording to the Michigan Optome-tric Association.

The common test is a letter chart read at 20 feet. When a child can read the line he is said to have 20-20 vision. More com-prehensive tests, which can be administered by teachers and school nurses, are used in many schools.

"The 20-20 test is fine as far as it goes," said Dr. Fred W. Kellogg, president of the association. "But it tests only acuity—cleamess of vision--at 20 fe?t. Most school work is done at about 15 inches. The letter chart reveals nothing alxxit the ability of the two eyes to work together, and ftlttWst all vision problems connected with reading depend on that ability."

The letter-chart test usually re-veals that about 15 per cent of all grade children need visual care, according to Doctor Kellogg. The more comprehensive tests, cover-ing coordination of the two eyes, show that at least another 15 per-cent a re in trouble. Detailed stud-ies of all children in a community ordinarily lead to referral of at least 35 percent of all children, some of whom are found Upon complete examination not to need vision care.

"A child learns more through his vision than through all his other senses put together." said Doctor kellogg. "Our society Is far behind the times in recognizing the Importance of vision and vis-ion care. Science has made wonder-ful detection and correction meth-ods available. They should be more widely used."

Counselors' Work Seen Expanding

Twenty years from now, high school counselors will be expected to fumish parent and pupil infor-mation about ull typos of work and training opportunities not just ad-vice on who should go to college, predicts Claud A. Eggertsen. pro-fessor of education at The Uni-versity of Michigan

He points out that it s generally agreed that Ihe college population will be twice its present size by 1970.

"In view of this, although many high schools now employ a full or part-time person to consult with students who express an interest in college, It Is quite clear that the time and energy devoted to the task will have to be greatly in-creased." he asserts.

"High school counselors, under press of a doubled number of stu-dents In higher education, will have to study tne anilities and interests of each student, to confer with him, to help him make a decision, and aid him in carrying it out ."

"The counselor will use a variety of data to help the student and his parents determine what next steps to take to achieve satisfac-tion In all phases of life activity.

"This type of counseling will be costly since it will occupy a large number of well-trained persons in posts of special responsibility. Each high school will be forced to follow the careers of its graduates to ob-tain the information indispensable to satisfactory counseling and in order to make changes in its course of study.

"On the other hand, some of the energy and Ingenuity which might otherwise be used In the making, recording, and interpreting of en-trance examinations will be saved.

"If counseling costs f i n a l l y amount to more than examining ones, however, «hey might be thought of as well spent if the counselor, as he should, helps the pupil decide which of many roads lo follow. Instead of announcing as examiners so frequently have had to do. that a part icular road Is closed."

Egg whites whip up to the great-est volume if they're at room tem-perature. according to Michigan State University home economists. Bowl, beater and egg whites should all be room temperature for best results.

The prospectors had told us of trout in Ihe rapids below, so the next morning found us landing a brookie on a mep spinner. John agreed to line the canoe while I tried for the remainder of our breakfast . Suddenly I heard a noise, looked up. and there was all of our supplies dashing down the rapids in six or seven parcels while John held on to the over-turned canoe. We each caught one of the parcels, but the others were out of reach. We tried to run down the edge, but our ankles took a terrific beating from th? rocks.

We re tumted to the portage path but got to the foot of the rapids too late. While John tried lhe sliore line, I dived into the rapids and swum toward our precious paddles. A big pool was a t the bottom of the rapids, and I reached a paddle and some sleeping gear we took inventory. We were missing all of our food, all of our matches, a paddle, and most of our fishing Plugs.

We went back to the canoe which was wedged between two rocks with a thousand gallons a second pouring into il and holding it fast . We pulled, twisted, and tugged. !• took us an hour to wrench it free.

We had seventy miles to go, should we make an all-out effort to reach Hears t? (We figured it would take two days and a night of paddling) Or should we try to catch f i s h - d r y them in the sun and at tempt to eat them raw and without salt? Perhaps we could look for berries, t ry to make an animal snare, t ry to start a fire by the Ii.-dian bow method. All these thoughts raced through our minds. Meanwhile, John was carv-ing a half log into a paddle and I was giving the other one all I had. We paddled all that day. By six o'clock we were tired and hun-gry. My sleeping bag was still wet. Things did not look good. We round-ed a bend and before us was a Bush lumber camp with housing for eighty men. The lumber jacks got a kick out of our predicament, and of course, by now it was funny to us. Twenty different nationali-ties and languages were represent-ed among the eighty men. We real-ly enjoyed the meal that night and freely chatted with the men as we wolfed down our first nourishment that day. About half way ihrough the mea l we realized that we were the only ones talking, and later found that it was one of the rules of lumbercamps io observe silence at the meals.

The Canadians stocked us with supplies and offered us a hut sev-en m i k s dowh the river. It had a stove in it to dry our gear. On the way down, when it was getting dark, we swung around the bend and came within ten yards of a bull moose. He "cased" us, de-cided we were harmless (the feel-ing was not mutual) and ambled up to his cow that was down stream. Then they struck off into the bush. At the s ame time we spotted a beaver—the first we had seen although cuttings had littered the banks for the entire trip. We made the hut by nightfall. The next morning we caught ft ride on the stack truck lo Boone, The truck had huge wheels inside the regu-lar wheels and ran on wooden 6 by G's much like a railroad. They ex-plained it was the cheapest way to make a bush road—top speed was six miles an hour.

When we arrived back to Bald-win, we had been gone ten days. The days had been filled with good fishing, outdoor life and excitement. This is what we wanted from Can-ada. and we received our "money's worth".

Softeners Make Fabrics Like New

Fabric softeners can help keep your family's clothes looking and feeling like new, says Bernetta Ka-habka. extension clothing special-ist at Michigan Slate University. Fabric softeners are lubricating agents which act on fibers much the way lotions act on your hands.

A fabric softener is a laundry rinse, not a water softener. It 's safe to use on anything that 's washable. Clothes come out softer, fluffier and easier to iron. You see the greatest difference in deep-pile fabrics. Bath towels, chenille robes and corduroys feel like new again. The pile on your shag rug will be fluffed up. Baby's diapers will be "soft as new."

Because they cut down friction, fabric softeners reduce annoying static electricity of synthetic gar-m e n t . They also minimize deep wrinkles that form along selvages on sheets—you can put them away without ironing them.

Follow manufacturers directions carefully. The amount of fabric softener you use is based on pounds of clothes, not on the number of gallons of water in Ihe washer. Clothes should be ti|oroughly rinsed before you add the! fabric softener —wait until they a re gelling their last clear rinse. !

We urge drivers to be alert In school zones a n d approaching streets.

"Responsibility for safe driving in school zones is placed on the driver 's shoulders by law." de-clared W. H. Boutell, president of the Mlphlgan Trucking Association.

"Morally, it is also the responsi-bilitv of the driver to operate his vehicle with care when approach-ing school zones, even before he enters the marked school zone," he warned.

Boutell spoke in connection with the Michigan trucking industry's safety campaign for September. "Back to School."

He pointed out that large num-bers of school children frequently walk along the streets approach-ing schools for long distances.

"The danger of a child dart ing suddenly into the street is perhaps greater along Ihe approach street than in the school zone itself. In school zones, children a re general-ly instructed to cross the street only at si>ecific places.

"Such controls do not apply along approach streets. Children may be expected lo cross these streets al-most anywhere Drivers should be alert to this danger nnd have their vehicles under sufficient control lo permit them to stop in t ime," he emphasized.

"This situation is particularly acute in suburban residential ar-eas. It also exists, although not as noticeably, In the urban areas . To the alert driver, the presence of school children anywhere is a 'School Zone' sign," Boutell con-cluded.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT

City to city driving is becoming easier, fas ter and sa fe r as more new super roads are opened to traffic. All too often, hov ever, the broad, m o d e m highways degener-ate into antiquated city streets that are loaded with hazards for driv-ers f rom out of town.

Too often there are no signs to tell th« s t ranger where turns a re prohibited. Signs often a re sel against confusing backgrounds, or obscured by parked vehicles or trees.

After dark, the s t range driver 's confusion and danger a re c< m-pounded. National Safety Council studies show that, in proportion lo Ihe amount of driving, three times as many people a re killed during the hours of darkness as in daylight.

Fortunately, traffic authorities are aware of the problem nnd a re finding ways to alleviate it. One of Ihe simplest yet most effective is to replace outmoded t raff ic signs and marke r s with large, modem signs. Many of the signs a re made of reflective materials that make them legible both day and night.

In Pennsylvania, for example, the highway department has an-nounced that new and bigger signs will be used on slate routes Ihrough cities. The arrow signs a re made of reflective sheeting that is highly visible even after dark. Many oth-er states and cities a r e similarly modernizing their t raff ic signs.

One expert . A. E. Johnson, ex-ecutive secretary of the American Association of State Highway Of-ficials, recently warned the Nation-al Highway Users Conference that if local authorities do not bring their signs up to uniform national s tandards the public will demand that the federal govemment do the job.

Evidence that improved signs and markings pay off In prevent-ing accidents is found In the re-plies to queries sent by the Nation-al Safety Council to the mayors of 25 cities that showed substan-tial reductions in t raff ic deaths during the last year. Practically all of them listed improved signs and markings as m a j o r factors contributing to lowered death rates.

With thousands of m i l e s of streets and tens of thousands of signs to look after, t ra f f ic depart-ments often may not detect dam-aged, defaced or vandalized signs as soon as safety dictates

H o w to Build a Ghost T o w n A R E C t N T R E P O R T f r o m the Colorado Spr ings (Colo.i c h a m b e r

of c o m m e r c e tells how to h a v e a ghost town. It Is an interest ing tongue-in-cheek report tha t will hold Just as t r u e In our town a s il

does In that town. It went a s follows:

Resul ts a re cer ta in for those working to c r e a t e m o r e "Ghos t Towns" If these s imple di rect ions a r e followed e i the r by accident o r design. Hundreds of f o r m e r thriving communi t ies which a r e now silent tdWns prove the re Is m o r e t ru th than poetry to the s imple s ta te -ment " I t Could Happen H e r e . "

Here a r e methods proved by exper ience lo g u a r a n t e e bankrup tcy . Insanity, d isappointment , s u l d d e s - a l l by-products of ghost towns.

1. Tell everyone you m e e t that you never buy any th ing at h o m e : the m e r c h a n t s a r e a bunch of crooks, robbers and chea t s .

2. BelitUe all e f fo r t s fo r communi ty be t te rment—the people t ry-ing to do these things a r e secre t ly mak ing a lot of money , want to " r u n t h ings" and their way of doing things Is all wrong anyway .

3. N e v e r was te money by adver t i s ing or was t e t ime t ry ing to fai-t r a c l t r a d e to the town—nolxxly r e a d s the ads, there Is never any-thing In the paper , i t ' s a l w a y s la te , and why should anyone want to

c o m e lo town—it's a dead place.

4. T u r n down all appea l s for contr ibut ions; and do It In a nas ty way so you won' t be bothered aga in , because the money collected Is eventual ly stolen by s o m e "h ighe r -ups" anyway .

Refuse to se rve on all commit tees , have nothing to do with civic organizat ions—the C h a m b e r of Commerce never does anyth ing and Is run by a burtoh of d imwits who want only to get their n a m e s be fore the public. All the city officials are in off ice to get a s h a r e

of the g r a f t . •'

T h e r e you have II—five s imple direct ions fo r producing a ghost town. I t ' s ha rd for one person to do It, but if you keep at It, eventual ly you'll get some converts , and a Ghost Town.

He r e c o m m e n d s tha t all fami-lies follow t l t e e rules to avoid be-ing t r apped In their homes by f i r e :

1. P l an at least two w a y s to get out of eve ry room in the house.

2. M a k e exit p lans fo r every m e m b e r of the fami ly , day and night, and r ehea r se t h e m regular ly until everyone—even the youngest c h i l d r e n - u n d e r s t a n d s c lear ly and can m o v e through the p lan swiftly and smoothly.

3. Keep exit routes c lea r . Avoid placing stoves, space hea t e r s , and fu rnace* n e a r doors . F i r e could s t a r t In on t of these and block all escape. Make sure bedroom win-dows a r e l a rge enough and low enough to se rve as e m e r g e n c y ex-its.

Unwise Buying Habifs Cost Money

'Wholesale-Hooey!' You Get What Pay For; Retailers Have Costs of Service

(This Is the third In a ser ies of ar t ic les p r epa red by the Michigan Reta i le rs Association in a n effort to be t t e r educa te the buying pub-lie of Michigan In Improving their buying habits . This newspaper Is cooperat ing with MRA by br inging this ser ies to you.)

How m a n y t imes have you heard , " I can get It fo r you wholesa le ." Phooey! No m a t t e r who you are , you Just can ' t get It wholesale . Dict ionaries def ine wholesa le as " t he sa le of goods in l a rge quant i -t y " and " t h e business of selling

to re ta i l e r s or jobbers i t ems for fu r the r consumption by consum-e r s . " The re a r e cer ta in costs in-volved in the sa le of single i tems to m a n y people, and that cost can not bo compared to "wholesa l ing" l a rge quant i t ies of one Item to one cus tomer .

However, quite often you m a y purchase fine merchand i se at bar-gain pr ices . For m a n y reasons such a s : slow turnover , the need for cash, or s tyle or color changes , a m a n u f a c t u r e r m a y cut pr ices to less than the original cost of mak-

i Ing the merchandise , and then p a s s i the lower p r i ce on to a dealer , who I will then sell to you at less than i his wholesa le price once was . Still ! the dea le r Is makinu a profit, and j you a r e not getting merchand i se 1 at "who je sa l e " . You a r e paying a

retail pr ice for merchand i se Whose 1 wholesale pr ice has been cut fo r

a bus iness reason.

Any "wholesa le" pr ice c la ims a r e phony, however t h e r e a re m a n y different "discount" c la ims, whose pr ices a r e somet imes lower. Speak "discount house" prices ' to people and a lmps t Immediately they seem to get the Impression that the re is the p l a c e fc) buy. Discount house opera tors have been able to cut pr ices on some itemc because of their cul overhead, which usu-

ally means , no f r ee del ivery, no merchand i s e m a y be r e tu rned , no " c h a r g e it p l ea se" cash for all purchases , no se rv ice d e p a r t m e n t , and s m a l l e r inventories wi th less choice of svlrciion of goods. If you want to forfeit these r ights as a cus tomer , then buy at a discount house, but then don't go c ry ing to one of your local, long es tabl ished and re l iable m e r c h a n t s that you have been " t a k e n " . Sure, its a good idea to shop a round for a good price, but only If you r e m e m b e r that the lowest pr ice Isn't neces-sarily the best deal , and that you just about a lways get just what you pay for. The biy p rob lem that buying at a discount has caused is that so many people have boen " t a k e n " by falling for a lmost any

pitch to s a v e a little money that t he "d iscount" and "factory-to* you " gyps have invaded more and m o r e shopping a reas . You a r e keep-ing these undes i rab les la business and making it hard on your local retai lers who have been doing their bf m to give you good and honest bargains. T w o of the discount op-era tors mos t c o m m o n prac t i ces a r e "pr ice padding " and " n a m e brand come-ons ." Many unethical retai lers and discount houses put a price on a cer tain piece of m e r -chandise double what it should be. and then o f f e r the product at " b a d -price", which m a k e s it appea r that you a re se t t ing a big discount. The " n a m e - b r a n d come-on" o f fe r s you a discount on a well known pro-duct. which often leads you to buy

off-brand I tems thnt -ire w a y over-priced. "Discount llou -e c a i a l o g s " a r c another favor i te in ans of en-ticing you to buy at a ' ba rga in p r ice . " Here the discounters have you at their mercy and you m a y '^et second-hand or d a m a g e d m e r -chandise, poor qual i ty m e r c h a n -dise. or even no merchand i se at iill for your good money.

We ofler t he following "p i l l s " , which will c u r e any "discount sick-n e s s " that you might c a t c h :

1. Ik-ware of the " I can get it for you a t a d iscount" guys. Shop a round to find out the pr ices on the s a m e i tem in s to res that you know and t rus t .

2, If someone offers fo get some-thing for you "wholesa le" , it only shows th;;i he doesn't even know

what "who le sa l e " means . 3. You will usually get wha t you

pay for . and if you want delivery, return privileges, credit, wide se-lection. service, and guaran teed product quality, then you h a d bet-ier buy f rom a merchant who will give t h e m to you.

4. Don' t buy without a manufac -turer 's wa r ran ty , and be part icu-larly w a r y of f u m i t u r e and appll-m c e s that seem to be new. but have a brand n a m e that you have never heard of before.

5. Lea rn the reputat ion of the dealer f rom who you a re going to buy. As a normal citizen, you can mrt expect to know all t h e r e is to know about a certain product , therefore you mus t rely on the in-tegrity of the s tore you buy from

to give you Ihe t rue fac t s about the m e rchand i s e that you a r e in-te res ted in buying.

6. N e v e r sign any pape r until you h a v e studied it completely , looking for " e x t r a " cha rges such a- Installation or del ivery fees, and be s u r e that you get a receipt , or copy (tl all t ransact ions .

DOOS AS pETS AND HUNTERS

By Bob Bartos Fnmlnent Dog Authority

Many of us labor under t h e false Impression t h a t mak ing a pet out of a hun t ing dog du l l s his eagerness in the field. Th is concept Is just another of those myths, on par wi th the belief that a dog that chases his t a l l has worms.

Actually, turning one of t h e hunt ing breeds Into a house dog a n d pet Intensifies his love

and devotion for his master , thereby making h im twice as eager a s his kennel-dwel l ing cousin to please h is owner w h e n out In t h e field.

Another advan tage lo t ak ing the hun t ing dog Into the house at puppyhood is tha t close asso-ciation with h u m a n s develops his Intelligence, From house-breaking (the first milestone In learning the m e a n i n g of p ra i se and approval) on through the basic obedience t ra in ing re-quired of most house pets, he becomes at tuned to the tone of the voice and t h e sound of words. When h e comes of age for field training, the lot of both master and dog Is an easier one.

The thousands of dogs who double as house pets f n city apar tments during the week — and a s hard working hunte rs out In the field on weekends — are proof that the system works In practice as well as theory. And this should serve as a n in-ducement to al l dog owners to forget the old concept and give In to their yearn ing to own a hun t ing companion.

Feeding Tip; One way to pro-tect your dog aga ins t a lack of niacin in his diet, which can lead to "black tongue" — the equivalent of pellagra In hu-mans — Is to feed him a scientif-ical ly prepared dog lood.
