Been reading "a whole lot about
the terrific traffic tolls on our
Florida Highways. Seems as
though modern engineering is
striving nightly to keep up tn
production and invent
iveness, but folks just won't be
careful. The woman of the year
to win the current safe driving
award for no accidents in some
100000 miles said she did it by
just driving as if everyone else
had the right of way. That seems
to be pretty sound thinking.
on the humorous side
is a booklet we saw recently that
is devoted to highway traffic
slaughter. This tome frankly
states that people get killed
more frequently on Saturdays"
It's only an aside, but we were
just wondering how many times
you have been killed on week
ends.

Corner are the fore-runners of
the beautiful toy department
moving soon into this delight
full shop.
These are Ideal Safe-T-

plastic heads - fluffy covered
bodies and are just as soft
and sweet as the babies who
will rejoice in them as gifts.
There is a whole window full
of them there right this minute.
Stop by and take a look al
the glamour-puss cat - just
like your favorite cartoon char
acter. Then there is a set of
bears. mamma and baby. a
doggy and a bunny. They all

eyes. and are showing VIII i the
wei dressed animals are wear
ing this season. In this line
there is also a baby doll. dress
ed in fur. with only the cute
LILLE baby face showing.
Then. of course. we mustn't
forget TO give star billing to
the Scottie who sings! He is an
aristocratic white one with a
Scotch plaid jacket and tam-o-
shanter iauntilY perched atop
his head. Just pull his bow tie
and the music starts.

ginning folks. but a good one.
