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.”

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.

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. Further
more, it’s no more work to set
a tray than it is to arrange a

Porch and garden meals
are easily served on trays.
Let the family fill their own
trays, cafeteria style, then

Sunday night suppers are
another meal that can be

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

Round trays are awkward for

It’s attractive to have rr-'^h-

Gingham in half-inch chocks
makes effective sets. An inch
fringe on both serviettes and
cloths finishes them quaintly.
