Always team it up with common sense! The Institute for Safer Living says you need enough common sense to employ your car’s horsepower wisely and with proper regard for its potential destructive power.

While the great need is for children’s cloth ing, adult apparel is also wel come. “In the Suuthern Appalachian Mountains where the boys and girls need an education if they are to develop their natural skills and talents and break out of poverty, too many of them are being forced to drop out of school for lack of presentable clothes,* said Larry Weaver, chairman of the Bundle Days Committee. “This makes it urgent that stu dents and all residents bring wearable used shoes, coats, dresses, suits, and underwear to the collection centers in Thorn well school.’ Save the Children Federation, international childwelfare or ganization, with headquarters in Norwalk, Connecticut was found ed in 1932. The Federation aids children their families and com munities in the Southern Appala chian Mountains, on American In dian reservations and in many countries abroad, through the sponsorship program, and inter national self-help scholarship fund and the annual clothing col lection.
