Have you discovered the pleas
ure of cooking whole meals in the
oven? If so, you know what a
joy it is to whisk few dishes
into the oven and then forget all
about the meal until time to serve
dinner.
Oven dinners may be hearty
casserole dishes of meat and vege-
tables which may be cooked rather
slowly for an hour or more. Or
an oven meal may consist of a
meat, vegetable, and dessert all
cooked in separate dishes at the
same time. In this case, foods
must be selected which can be
cooked at the same temperature.
Recipes are given for a COM
plete oven meal which will satisfy
ravenous appetites these snappy
fall days.

it means gifts, songs, and a good

means old st. Nick; to others, it

meant disaster to many families.
Hundreds of homes were destroy

precautions, our chances Of hav-

greatly decreased. First, remem-

tenn. The most successful plan of
preventing accidents by enforce
ment in the past has been to
apply the major enforcement to
the high frequency accident
stretches of the highway, at the
time of day and day of week the
accidents were found to be hap
pening.
This method Colonel Mingle
told Governor Herbert, is known
as "selective enforcement" and
makes it possible to get the max
imum value from the manpoWer
and motor equipment available.
Help from other state enforce
ment agencies would be greatly
appreciated" the colonel said.
In his report Colonel Mingle
said:
"The central record bureau of
the patrol supplies the Supervi-
sorry officers of the department
with monthly studies compiled
from the accident reports show
ing the section of state highways
needing the greatest application
of enforcement. Patrol personnel
is assigned accordingly, and 1t Is
believed that many accidents and
subsequent deaths have been pre-
vented by the system.
Rate Increases
Nevertheless, accident figures
compiled from accidents investi-
gated by the Ohio State Patrol
for the first 10 months of 1947
show an increase over the CORE
spending period of 1916.
This increase in accidents has
occurred in spite of an increase
of 80 percent in the enforcement
activities of the Patrol during
the same ten months periods. 1t
should be explained that enforce
ment activities include not only
arrests. but also written warnings
issued to traffic violators. BY
virtue of the above facts it is
indicative that the problem of
traffic regulation is not only the
problem of the law enforcement
agencies, but emphatically the
the problem Of motorists as well.
''The accusation that the in
dividual motorist is failing to
accept his responsibility in this
matter is evident from the record
compiled by motorists in the
statewide safety check conduct
ed by the Ohio State Highway
Patrol in cooperation with local
police, during the month of July
