(jLARING HEADLIGHTS!! Completely blinded!! Head-on crash!! Mangled bodies lying on the road!! What a terrible price to pay for someone’s thoughtlessness. Most night-time highway tragedies, such as the one pictured above, are due to improperly focused headlights, driving with only one head light, or the driver’s neglect to depress or lower them at the approach of others. Here the guilty offender suffers as much as the innocent victim. Usually neither will ever again be affected by glaring head lights. By inspection and by stopping cars on the road, the local and state authorities are correcting this evil. You can do your part by observing the following—always dim your lights for oncoming cars. It may save your life, and the lives of those with you. Never look squarely at oncoming lights. Keep your eyes on the road. Make sure you are all the way over on your side. Finally, always drive slower, more carefully, at night. TAKE WARNING-BE CAREFUL NEWBERRY CREAMERY . "Newberry Maid Butter" scons AUTO SUPPLY Phone 3S-W—Earl Scott S. W.
