TIME TO HAVE
CARS CHECKED
Safety Council Head Reminds
Motorists to "Chcck Your
Car-Check Accidents"
WINTER is APPROACHING

"Check your car = check acci'
dents"
j. James Ashton, Manager of the
Delaware Safety Council used that
slogan to remind Delaware motor
lists that the approach of winter is
a wise time to have their cars
checked.
Longer hours of darkness" he
said, 'ibrings added hazards to the
motorist and make it more import
ant than ever that his car be in
tip-top shape" Mr.. Ashton par
ticularly stressed the Importance
of having all car lights checked.
Don't be a one-eyed driver" he
warned. 1.-THE car with only one
headlight working is a deadly men
ace to every car and pedestrian on
the road" He urged that motor
lists specifically check the dimming
switch and both upper and lower
beams of headlights to be sure
they are aimed to avoid glare. Also
take look at rear and stop
lights" he cautioned. "Be sure all
bulbs work and that your brakes
operate the stop light" With long
er hours of darkness for the next
six months, Mr.. Ashton said, mo-
florists should be sure they use
their headlights properly. The up
per beam should be reserved for
use on rural highways when no ap-
preaching car is within 1000 feet,
he said. The lower beam should
he used when oncoming cars ap-
proach you, when you are overtak-
ing another car, and in cities and
residential areas. According to the
National Safety Council, on the
basis of miles driven, two to three
times as many traffic accidents ia
talities occur at night as in day.

FIRE SAFETY ENGINEERS
Guard American Industry, Track
Down Fires Before They Start

Guard American Industry, Track
Down Fires Before They Start
Fire safety engineers, whose job
it is to track down fires before
they start, are constantly studying
American industries as part of a
concerted campaign to reduce fire
hazards and keep production roll
ing, Reynolds Pratt of Wroten-
Pratt Insurance Agency, fire insur-
ance agents, said yesterday. These
men know much about fires-how
they generally start and where. To
discover hazards and eliminate
them before any damage is done,
they carry on a. continuing "pre-
search" in plants, factories, and
warehouses all over the country.
Many times they work from arch
itects' plans even before the build
ings are erected, in their effort to
save lives and property. This pub
lie service is part of the compre-
hensive program sponsored by the
capital stock fire insurance which
comprise The National Board of
Fire Underwriters. Because indus
try is constantly doing research in
new fiields-such as plastics, tex
tiles, petroleum and atomic energy
there are countless fire
hazards, safety technicians play an
important role in helping to keep
the nations industrial production
at high level.
