COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR Facts Prove Women Better Drivers Women are better drivers Jthan men, says an insurance company. Now that can't be true; all the masculinity of a man arrays itself against such a statement; it is absurd, ridiculous, of course. Men excel in all such matters, natur ally. < Now that I have done my best to uphold the dignity and skill of my brethren I make a humble bow and admit that the insurance company proves its case: “If there’s any doubt in your minds, ladies, that you’re better drivers than m en, just ask the country’s second largest auto insurance underwriter. Women — at least those under 25 — are better drivers than men, says this company, and it’s spelling it out in dollars and cents. On January 1 it will make an average reduction of 35% in the price of auto liability insurance offered to women drivers under the age of 25 in New York State and 40% in-California because they’re such good drivers. It plans to make similar cuts in other states later. The' Company bases its insurance premiums largely on the accident rate of its customers. Its figures show young women drivers have fewer accidents than young men drivers and thus should get a lower rate. For fathers who may have thought raising daughters was more expensive than rearing sons, it will mean a sub stantial saving. A Brooklyn, N. Y., father, for example, who drives to work, but allows his 19-year-old daughter to drive occas ionally is now paying a family rate of $220.20 a year for liability insurance — $10,000 and $20,000 bodily injury coverage and $5,000 property damage. Starting January 1, he’ll pay only $132.60. But his neighbor will continue to pay $220.20 if he has a 19-year-old son. For young women in Brooklyn who own cars it will mean an even greater reduction. They now pay $310.40 a year. The new premium will be $132.60. Married couples under 25 will not benefit from the new rate differential between young men and women drivers. If they have a child, they now qualify, for the family rate which is lower than that paid by an individual youthful owner of v a car. Auto insurance costs more in Brooklyn, Bronx and Man hattan than in any other area in the country. On the Westj Coast, a San Francisco father now pays $97.60 annually for liability insurance if his 19-year-old 'daughter drives occasionally. After January 1, he’ll pay only $58.60. The actual dollar and cents savings will vary according to make, model and year of car, the kind and amount of use to which it is put and where it is used.

Experience as an active and reg ular member of an organized city or volunteer fire department using motorized equipment, and as a Former Newberrian Married In Johnston Church Rites Last week we talked about the ripening of the honey locust. And how we ate them as long as they tasted good, sometimes including a worm or two. Other than the locust, we forag ed wide for hickory nuts, scaly- barks, walnuts, black haws, sand berries and thorn apples too in the fall, after frost. The hickory nuts and scaly-barks got wormy too if you didn’t get them soon after they fell. But I never saw a worm in a black walnut. They must be too hard, or a substance in their hull might repel the insects. Writing here last week about worms in things kids eat, I said it did not always stop with us as kids. About 1920, Roy Sample of Sa luda and I were on our way to Greenville to see Clemson and Furman play football. At a country store he got two of those little red boxes of raisins that had just come out He was very fond of ’em. I didn’t eat any, as I had a tooth that had been hurting and didn’t want to start it up. He ate one package^ as we talked, and threw the box out. Then he opened the second one and started eating from it. He happened to look at them closely, and they were full of little worms. We laughed about it. He looked pale but didn’t lose ’em .1 noticed he wasn’t hungry when we stopped for early dinner at Greenwood. Just last summer I looked for some crackers on the shelf where we usually keep them. None were there. But I noticed a package of walnut cookies on the top shelf. I streched up, got it down, took a handful and walked around in the yard eating them. They were so good, I went back and got another batch. That night I mentioned how good they had been and Tommy told me he had put thbm up high there, as they were moldy and full of bugs. firefighter in a military or indus : trial establishment or comparable plant or institution using motoriz ed equipment will qualify an ap plicant.
