This next one no doubt eased the pedal off the metal. God knows how many lives the witty shaving cream saved. E ncinitas Councilwoman Maggie Houlihan has become an ardent cheerleader for driving about a hundred stake signs into the heart of Encinitas' residential streets. Neb.

And a triple rhyme to boot. Jesse Jackson could use this baby for his next Democratic Convention address. And to be sure, Encinitas is in danger of turning into a hump-backed whale of a town. So Houlihan's campaign probably deserves a road test. However, the creative minds at Burma-Shave would have bristled at stopping with speeding.
