Goodrich FIRST IN RUBBER Our people should know that tu berculosis is a communicable di sease but is controllable. “I am happy to serve as chair man of the Christmas seal sale campaign. I know that the funds raised this winter will mean that may South Carolina lives will be saved. We should increase oppor tunities for every person to learn the facts about the disease and intensify our effort to find and treat every case in its early cura ble stage. Tuberculosis cannot be controlled without full citizen understanding and participation.” X Middle-Aged Drivers Detroit, Mich., June 6.—Driving habits, like automotive equipment itself, may need an occasional check-up on the part of the mo torist, it is suggested by Ed Hed- ner, director of service and me chanical department, Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation. Motorists in the middle years age group in particular should re view their driving pattern, estab lished < through perhaps two de cades of car handling, he said, pointing to a statement by Detroit police that 40 per cent of the city’s traffic accidents in April involved drivers between the ages of 30 and 49 years. “While these figures represent a departure from the current trend toward a lowering of the age group associated with highwrv ac cidents,” Hedner said, “they point up a pertinent and timely remind er to the more mature motorist. Over confidence on the p^ t of the experienced driver mrv lead to the formation of bad d iving habits. The careful driver, like the athlete keyed up for a big game, must not be so sure him self that he neglects the ■ ormal precautions that are stress d for the beginner. “Dangerous tendencies in driv ing habits of older, experienced motorists can lead to quite as fa tal consequences as the so-called recklessness of inexperience, and only by striving for safety on all fronts can we reduce our highway accident record. “Another factor in the safety picture, of course, is the matter of ‘middle-aged’ cars. Faulty brakes and steering equipment or worn - out tires can be as great a cause of accidents on the streets and - % highways as careless driving. “With the present situation on new car deliveries so uncertain, every prewar car owner should have his vehicle checked periodi cally for mechanical defects that might lead to accidents. “But no car is a safe car with a careless driver at the wheel,” Hedner concluded. IPS k; A LL the house-furnishing de- partments are showing trays in profusion and if you are tray- minded you can choose just what your pocket book affords. But do invest in a set of trays. They will save you many steps and labor in other ways. From large to small, trays make beautiful and most acceptable gifts, too. When you or some other mem ber of the family must lunch alone, why not have a tray lunch eon? An attractive tray carried to some part of the house or gar den quite away from the scene of the morning’s activities is cheerful and restful.

Let the family fill their own trays, cafeteria style, then join the group on the porch or lawn to eat. Sunday night suppers are another meal that can be served on trays to advan tage. Each person can serve himself. The same sort of foods can be served on trays that would be served from the table. Simple meals always are desirable in summer and of course this type of meal is ideal for tray service. , Rolls and sandwiches make the tray service easier since they save room and give a festive air to the meal. j When you choose your trays, ’ be sure to select them large enough to take the dishes w th- out crowding.
