Approximately 300,000 cars! What is the reason? Generally the blame is the car L owners themselves whose forgetfulness simplifies the ^ work of the thieves. Some simple rules to avoid theft are: (1) Never leaves clothes and luggage in plain view on car seats, or you'll probably lose both the clothes and the car. (2) Never leave the car with oui laKing me ignition Keys with you regardless of how little time you expect to be gone. Simple! Yet there are too many car owners who fail to follow this rule. Four out of five stolen cars had the keys in the switch! (3) When parked, lock all doors, even the windows and vents. (4) Be sure to carry a copy of your motor and serial number with you.

W hen we preach safety day in day out. then take chances when we are on 1 the job, the highway, or at ! home, we are talking to the ' wind in pretty speeches about being safe. Nothing makes an ? explanation more easy to understand than a good example. So just practice what you preach and don't take chances. You teach others the safe way while you benefit by living accident free. An old mountaineer and his son were sitting in front of the fire, smoking their pipes. crossing and uncrossing their legs. After a long period of silence, the father said. "son. step outside and see if it is raining." Without looking up the son answered. "Aw. Pa. why don't we just call in the dog and see if he's wet?" # * The best way to find a woman's faults is to praise her to another woman. * * * They swear it happened here when a policeman stopped a woman pedestrian. Policeman: "Didn't you see that 'Don't Walk' sign?" Woman: "Yes." Policeman: "Then why did you cross the street?" Woman: "I thought the sign was an advertisement for the bus company." * * * To laugh is to be free from worry. He who doesn't worry lives long. To live long is to last. Hence, he who lauehs lasts. * * The youngster who received a bicvcle for school transportation usually rides with the friend who has an automobile for the same purpose. * * * Yet every home owner wants one: A fireplace is an o.ld - fashioned wood-burning device that robs the home's ? main heating plant of its efficiency.
