It often has been said. ~It IS greater to anticipate than to real~ ize.' When using the highways keep in mind the fact that we are al on the eligible list; accidents don't always happen to the othei fellow.
 The American people are well known for their ability to forgei about preparedness, then spend years trying to rectify the situation SO, to the motorists we say: Don wait until the battery fails you some zero morning, have it checked today. This is the time of the veal when the troubles of motorists in- crease with the fury of old Mother Nature.
