Rate Drops

Seattle's traffic fatality rate in
1947 was Is per cent below 1916,
James w. Hodson, president of the
Seattle Safety Council, reported to-
day.
During 1916 there we're 80 traffic
deaths within the city limits" he
said, and last year there we're go
fatalities-a caving Of 20 lives"
However, Hodson emphasized the
tragedy OF these so lives lost, and
he urged greater calc on the part of
drivers and pedestrians through the
coming year.
AS a reminder to all Sec ttleites
SO signboards showing the traffic
death figures for 1916 and 1947 will
be placed at key spots within the CT

way.
Exceeding the safe speed, but
not the stated limit.
Following too close to the car
ahead.
Turning improperly.
Exceeding the legal speed limit.
Passing improperly.
Driving while under the influ-
ence of alcohol.
Although alcohol is listed last as
an accident cause, safety officials

termine the degree of intoxication
are not reliable and it is believed
drinking Is a contributing factor in
almost one-fourth of all traffic &C.

Five Big Firms sounti
Sea Floor in Bahamas
lin Search for Oil
By John G. Davis
North American Newspaper Alliance

/
NASSAU, Bahama Islands. Feb. 9
Five Of the worlds major oil com.
panies are sounding the ocean bot
tom here with gravity readingl
reaching to the center Of the eartt
as part Of efforts to flnd II oil lurkl
below the surface Of these placid
colorful seas.
The companies are Shell Roya
Dutch), Standard Oil, Gulf, Anglo.
Iranian and Superior Oil.
Prior to making the gravity sur
vey of the oceans floor to discover
the conformation of the land below
the companies had completed an
aerial survey. Planes towing mag
netometers had criss-crossed the
skies, quartering the 70,000-square-
mile area, their instruments regis
tering land formation beneath the
sea. This was a new venture in oil
exploration and the first large
scale use for this purpose Of war
developed antisubmarine instru-
ments.
The $64 question here In the is
lands is, Have the companies found
the favorable oil-bearing forma-
tions?"
Findings to Be Declared.
Answer to the question will prob
ably not be revealed until sometime
In the next three years when wells
are drilled. If the wells go down.
the chances are pretty good that
the geophysicists now studying the
charts back in home-office privacy
have decided that the curved land
pockets hold oil-bearing sand. II
no drilling takes place, mankind
can write off the Bahamas as a pos
sible source of oil.
Three years is the period for
which the companies hold explora-
ton permits covering their conces-
sions. At the expiration of that
time, they must have completed
their search and elected that part
of their area on which to take q
long term lease. The remaining
area reverts to the Bahaman gov
ernment.
Superior already has sunk an ex-
perimental well in its area, Andres
Island. Grapevine reports say the
Job was done simply to gain infor-
nation on the rock strata. ANY,
way, the hole was pulled at around
IS 900 feet and no oil gushed forth.
Again according to the grapevine,
it is reported that the results OF

years at the present rate Of con-
sumption.
However, before tossing out your
oil heater and getting rid Of your
automobile, it's best to hear the en-
tire story.
According to the exploration ex-
perts assembled here, there are vast
stretches Of the earth's surface
known to cuddle the crude oil be-
meath enfolding rocks, oil that has
not yet been tapped. Too, there
are much vaster areas that have
never been searched. BY and large,

Food Tips
That extra grapefruit half stays
juicy when you store it on a plate,
outside down in the refrigerator.
Do the same for oranges, lemons or
lines. It saves vitamins by protect
ing the cut surface from the air.
Plan to use the fruit soon, however,
in a salad, fruit cup, or in some other
way.
If a piece of cheese grows hard be-
fore you get around to using it, crate
and store in a jelly glass with holes
punched in the lid. It keeps well and
is delicious sprinkled over vegetable
salads or spaghetti dishes.
A fish casserole is an excellent al
ternate for meat. Two of its major
ingredients tuna fish and milk-are
sources Of good quality protein.
Spinach is a good vegetable to serve
with this dish because it is high in
iron-a mineral in which tuna fish
and milk r low.
If you eat out, remember that res
taurants have been asked to CO.
operate by serving bread and butter
only on request. If everyone would
eat one less slice of bread daily, it
would make z million loaves avail
able for the hungry of western Eur
ope.
"Toast" leftover onions in the oven
heat that's left after baking. Let
slices dry to a golden brown, then
store in a tightly covered jar. Grand
for soups and stews.
In pan frying liver, be careful not
to overlook it. Long cooking tough
n liver and makes it less palat-
able. It's a good idea to let the slices
particularly If they are cut rather
thick come to room temperature
before frying as they are cooked SO

Winter Wushinq

winter washing
For easier and more efficient
washdays in winter, here are a few
reminders to housewives:
Washing machines kept in a cold
place, such as an outside porch,
should be brought into a warm room
several hours before using. Other
wise, the oil or grease in the machine
NAV be so stiff that the starting load
will be heavy enough to blow a fuse
in the circuit. Porcelain enamel tubs
also need to have the chill off before
using. If hot water is poured into a
very cold tub, the enamel may crack.
Clothes that freeze stiff on lines
suffer more wear and tear from
whipping in the wind than soft clo-
thes. Therefore, on very cold windy
days it may be better to dry clothes
indoors.
If lines are rubbed with vinegar
before hanging up clothes, the fab
ric is likely to freeze to lines and
stick. However. If the clothes do
stick. pull them very gently from
lines to prevent tearing. Clothes pins
warmed in the oven a few minutes
before using help keep fingers warm
and thus hasten the hanging up job.
Never hang wet wool clothes or
blankets outdoors in cold weather.
Wool is sensitive to sudden changes
in temperature. It shrinks and is
damaged by going from a warm tub
into cold winter air. Wash and rinse
wool in luke warm water and dry at
room temperature: Avoid extremes
of either heat or cold.
To avoid strain and save energy
in carrying clothes to the line, roll
the clothes basket out on a cart or
pull it out on a sled over snowy
Ground. BY putting the basket on a
cart or sled at the right height so
that clothes, can be reached without
stcopiru a third of the energy used
IN hanging clothes may be saved.

because leather is weak when wet.
Rinse by running luke warm water
into each glove to push it gently into
shape. Never wiring or scrub gloves
because this stretches and may tear
the wet leather. To keep pigskin
gloves soft, rinse in water to which a
couple of drops of ~glycerine have
been added.
Fold the wet gloves in a turkish
towel and gently press to remove ex-
cess moisture. Then lay the gloves
flat on a dry towel or hang over a
towel on a line. Do not use clothes
pins because they mark the leather.
When gloves are almost dry, gent

Woshing Leather Gloves

Be sure leather gloves are labelled
washable" before trying to wash
them at home. Many gloves of suede,
doeskin, capeskin. and pigskin. are
finished so that they can be washed
and r labelled accordingly on the
inside. Kid gloves and some other
kinds Of leather, however. must be
dry cleaned.
Use mild soapsuds and lukewarm
water when washing leather gloves.
An easy way to do it is to put the
gloves on and wash them like the
hands. lathering the entire surface
and using a soft brush on finer tips
and other specially soiled places.
Pull gloves off the hands carefully

Belief in God Today

THE Bible is a Book for today
I any day, every day. 1t reveals
the purpose of creation, both of the
universe and man himself. It re-
veals the loving C of God for
every soul. 1t portrays his forbear-
ance and his mercy and his exceed
ing kindness, even to sinful men and
women who reject his love.
Best of all, the Bible tells us the
sweetest story ever told - the
story of how God gave his only
begotten Son that whOsoever be-
heveth ON him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Religion, the Christian religion, is
the most practical proposition in the
world. Every man is constantly in
reach of God, if only he will believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ. God is
yonder in the loneliest watchtower
of the timberlands. He is yonder on
the storm-tossed ship at sea. He is
everywhere, waiting to W and
bless any and all who will come
to him through Jesus Christ.

increaseth strength. They
that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint"
That is the passage from Isaiah.
What a promised In this hour when
men are bending beneath the bur-
den Of a war-weary world, how it
gives lift to ones soul to contem-
plate the words Of this great and
blessed promise.
God Our Maker
GLE GIVES to all men life and
- breath and everything" Acts
17:25. One Of our daily prayers
should be to thank God that he has
let us open our eyes to the beauty
Of another dawn. We must not take
1t for granted. It Is the goodness
and mercy Of God that permits US
to open our eyes, to breathe, to
have food, to think. He gives Us life
and breath and everything.
He causes the sun to shine and
the tides to ebb and Cow. He
causes the rain to fall and the
winds to bear their blessings. He
holds the earth in its course. God
Is the maker Of every good thing.

And He Is Our Father

MOT only is God the Creator and
~ Sustainer of the physical uni
verse; but he is also our Father. He
knows us each by name. He cares
for the sparrows, simply because
they are sparrows. He cares for us
because we are his children, made
in his image, capable of fellowship
with him. The end of man, as the
Catechism clearly teaches, is to en-
joy God and glorify him forever.
Read again the passage that de-
scribes Paul's visit to Athens, and
how he observed that the people,
though quite intelligent, were
worshipping many different gods.
Paul summoned them to worship
the one true and living God.
When we acknowledge God as
Maker and Father, we are then en-
able to serve him in conscious as
surance of his love and care for us
as his adopted children.

Show Us the Father

u FAD again John 14:8-14, and
n join with Philip in the prayer,
"Show us the Father" Jesus an
swered Philip. saying, "He that
hath seen me hath seen the Fa-
Their" We come to know God as
Father through Jesus Christ, and
only through Jesus Christ.
Jesus goes on to say to Philip,
"If ye shall ask anything In my
name, will do it," The greatest
need Of our day and generation
Is a fresh understanding Of Cod
his nature and his will. We a
know him through Jesus Christ.
And we come to know him
through faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Enoch walked with God. Abraham
was the friend of God. David was
a man after Gods own heart. And
Jesus came to perfectly reveal the
Father. The determining factor in
knowing God as Father is our will
ingness to believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ.
