first inter-high school game

beginnings of physical educa-
ton programs in which attn
letes is an integral part. Some
of the teams in major sports

What is the reason for these
tragic figures? Carelessness -
speed - downright negligence on
the part Of the Michigan driver.
Everyone is anxious TO reach his
vacation destination but it's
proven fact that the driver who
keeps a steady speed Of $3.50
miles an hour will reach his desti-
nation sooner than that fellow who
spurts up to IS or 20, then has to
slow down for curves - specially
governed highways, etc. And one
hour more travelling time may add
ten or even twenty years to your
life! Think II over - resolve TO
do your part to make Michigan
safe this summer.
Drive carefully obey traffic
rules - watch the highway signs
and play safe. Remember - the
life you save by careful driving
may be your sons - your wife's
or your own!

Although children are the
most constant suffers. people of
all ages sometimes fall victim
OF this malady.
Symptoms tRingworm-Tinea

This is the simplest and
most readily cured of all forms
OF Rlngworm. II begins as 2
