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.

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.
