Safety Sally" in her weekly ap-
pearance before the Delaware pub
lie, says, you'll smash your finger
if you try driving nail without
keeping your eye on it. Driving a
car requires the same concentration.
Always keep your eyes and mind on
trafllc"-or you'll smash more than
your finger.
First and foremost, constant at
tention to the business of driving is
paramount. The lapse of one sec
ond's vigilance may wreck your car,
kill person or cause serious prop
erty damage. Keep your hand OH the
wheel, your mind alert and focused
on the obj of driving. If you must
talk with your companion don't take
you reyes off the road.
Become thoroughly experienced in
driving before you drive in traffic.
Ability TO drive one car does not ne
cessarily qualify you to drive others.
If you have to change cars from day
to day get sufficient experience with
each one to drive it well anywhere.
Never permit an inexperienced COM
paniOn to drive in traffic nor let any
one drive from the side seat.
Small children should sit in the
rear of the car. They should never
be held in or between the arms of
the driver. Safe driving demands
your full and undivided attention.
Don't dream while driving. Inat-
tention causes accidents.

%BUY PEAS BY LABEL"
FOOD OFFICIAL URGES

peas are not just peas to the dis
cerning housewife" says DR.. p. B.
Dunbar, assistant chief of the Fed
eral Food and Drug Administration.
Zone of the first vegetables to be
canned, peas remain one of the most
popular with consumers. Gamers
generally are helping the housewife
make her choice by making their
! labels more informative"
The buyer who consistently reads
labels will soon come to know the
difference between such terms, for
example, as "early peas" and sweet
peas" according to Doctor Dunbar.
The former are early June peas
having a smooth skin. Sweet or SUI
gar peas mature later, have Il
wrinkled skin and a sweet taste.
When canned, early peas usually
are separated into various sizes by
the sieve method The small No. rs
are called "small peas" or petit
pois." The next, or No. 2's, are call
ed ''early June extra sifted." No. 3's
are called "early June sifted," and
the large peas, No. As or larger, are
generally labeled merely "early
June" Some peas, when not graded
as to size, are called the run of the
pod"
1.-The national pure food law does
not require Gamers to label their
peas as to variety or as to size, but
when such labels appear they must
be accurate" states Doctor Dunbar.
Gamers, recognizing that buyers
are rapidly learning to buy by label
more and more, are adding to the
information which they print upon
their labels. The law does require
that the manufactures print upon /
his labels the statement as to the /
quantity contained in the can, and /
this statement must be truthful"
The Gamers bill, a recent amend-
ment to the Federal food and drugs
act, requires that canned peas, as
well as other foods, which do not
meet certain defined standards, he
labeled with the wording, Below U.
S. Standard, Low Quality Dut Not IL
legal" Under this law, the Gamer
who does not fill his cans to at least
30 per cent of their capacity is re-
1uired to brand the goods as slack
illed. The buyer may find on some
canned foods both of the above des-
gnatiOns, but she need have no fear
hat she is getting an unwholcsome
II inedible product.
