Speaking of
PUBLIC SAFETY

10000 persons are duped to
death each year by the fallacy
nat you are safer driving at night
simply because there is less traffic.
Actually. you need only a
glimpse of the traffic accident
picture to realize how fallacious
that reasoning really is.
Out of every hundred fatal ac-
cidents, go occur in the dark when
only % of every 100 vehicles are
operating. In addition to the
10000 lives, the night toll last
year was 100000 injured and 81
billion of economic loss.
1t is because of the greater
danger of fatality at night that
motorists are urged to observe
special safety precautions after
REDUCED SPEED: Driving at
night should always be at speeds
which permit stopping within
range of headlight vision.
WATCH FOR SIGNAL
CRASHERS: Never crash lights
nor stop signs and don't ever
move into an intersection until
you have looked in both directions
after the light has changed. Don't
assume that a green light means
safety! Too many drivers like to
race through the red end Of a
light change.
PROPER VEHICLE LIGHT
ING: Headlights should be ac-
curately focused, kept clean, and
rear lights properly operating.
Directional signal lights, both
front and rear, aid in signaling
but no driver at night should as
sumo the mere act of signaling
his intent will prevent an accident.
He should never intersect traffic
unless absolutely sure he has
ample time to avoid "close call".
DON'T DRIVE IF DROWSY:
Night driving requires keenness
of all faculties. Seconds save lives.
II you fee sleepy, don't drive.
thousands Of people are killed
because either they or the drivers
who hit them dozed for an instant.
AVOID ALCOHOL: Darkness
] which dulls vision and alcohol
which slows mental and physics,
.eactions is a deadly combination
at night. If you must drink, for
humanity's sake don't drive.
Motorists are urged to observe
these precautions at night to COM
pensate for the inadequate visi-
bility which will continue to make
night driving dangerous until
street lighting is made adequate
in cities and towns and on critical
accident-prone areas of highways.

Antioch Festival

YELLOW SPRINGS, OHIO
The long, long trail starts a-wind-

Producing a play night pre-
sents untold problems for the cos
tune department as well as the
actors. A gown that may be worn
by Kate in THE Shrew' often
also serves, with minor changes,
as a ball gown for a guest at Ju-
liet's party, or Helena's elopement
outfit in midsummer"

taxes every year. almost quarter

Wallace said.
Zone of the questionable activi-
ties of regulation is in the pre-
scribing and holding of artificial
ly high levels of rates" he said.
within year we have been re-
fused permission to lower our
rates on all canned foodstuffs,
clothing and drygoods, and on
cigarettes and tobacco"
Government regulations also
shackle the railroads by refusing
to allow them to quote wholesale,
he said, one of the first principles
OF any large business, with the re-
suits that both the railroads and
the public lose.
You do not get the savings that
wholesale rates would make pos
sible," Wallace said, and in event
of any really desirable traffic, it
is apt to fall to our competitors
whom you do not regulate as COM
p1etely as you do the railroads"

Fall FertiIizing
Pays Dividends

Your soil is a storehouse for
plant nutrients. You can make use
of this capacity by applying ferti-
lizer in the fall instead of in the
spring. Spring growing ANIMALS
will get an immediate boost when
nutrients are right at hand
and "overwintering" crops-win-
ter small grains, permanent pas
ture, and holdover meadoWs-will
take a new lease on life just as
soon as the soil warns up.
-Four to five hundred pounds of
a complete fertilizer per acre APP
piled on fall seeded winter small
grains are recommended by agro-
nomists of the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station. by making
the total application at the time
of seeding the grain, the necessi-
ty for making an additional top
dressing in the spring is usually
avoided except in the instances
where a spring top dressing of
nitrogen is desirable" report the
Ohio technicians.
Nitrogen in fertilizer usually
makes its effect felt within six
months, but it too will give an ad-
vantage from fall application. High
nitrogen plant foods help to de-
compose crop reSidues faster MAX
ing organic end-productS available
to feed the crop in the spring.
Phosphate and potash give long
er lasting storage" effect, their
strenoth lasting upwards of a year
or more.
Ohio eXpeTimentcrS recommend
fall or post harvest application of
200 to 300 pounds oil, O-1-2, or
O-1-3 ratio fertilizers C0-10-20,
0-9-27, or O-12-12l on established
alfalfa and ladino clover hay and
pasture. These rates will maintain
high yields on grasslands which
might ordinarily be damaged dur
ing the winter months.
Permanent pastures require
400 to 600 pounds per acre of
O-20-1O or O-2O-O as an initial
treatment Every second or third
year, the same amount Of O-20-10
or O-12-12 should be applied
O-2O-O if the field is completely
manured," say the Ohio agrono-
mistS
The National Fertilizer AssOcia-
tion also has come up with some
ideas on autumn application, OF
prime Importance is selection
There's a better chance of getting
the exact kinds of fertilizer you
need when you buy in the fall.
Manufacturers start to stockpile
plant foods as soon as their spring
rush is past BY autumn, there's
a good supply on hand and dcliV-
cry is usually faster.
Crops recover faster from
drought if fed during the fall.
Strong, healthy root systems de-
velop allowing the plants to take
up water from a greater depth and
giving the crops a form of "insur-
ance" against dry conditions.

COP Women Make
Biz G,tate Gains

Women are coming to the fore
of the Republican party in Ohio.
Many feel that it was the enthusi-
asm of women for General Eisen-
hover as the candidate promoting
peace and economic stability that
won the presidency for him in
1852. This year COP party leaders
are looking to women to elect a
Republican congress that will sup
port Eisenhower legislation and the
entire COP state ticket.
COP women in Ohio divide their
activities into two classificationS,
the Republican women's division
and the Federation of Republican
Women's Clubs, Inc. The women's
division, headed by Mrs. Florence
G. Morris of Toledo, vice-chairman
of the Republican State Central
and Executive Committee, includes
all COP women elected to their
party posts and those appointed by
them. In its ranks are the % state
committeewomen selected fr o m
each congressional district, 88
county chairwomen, and the many
precinct committeewomen active in
each county.
Ohio Republican national COM
mitteewoman Mrs. Katherine Ken
nedy Brown of Dayton heads the
Federation of Women's Republi-
can Clubs that includes some 40
600 members. This is the educat-
ional branch of the party that in
StructS interested women in party
policy and procedure through local
meetings and social gatherings.
Guided by their slogan More
in '54', these Republican women
are already initiating their cam
paign activities to elect more Re-
publican Congressman and COP
state and county officeholders.
First on their agenda is a series of
district committee meetings to be
held in August and early Septem-
Der. These work sessions are be-
ing scheduled by the state COM
mitteewOmen who are inviting the
county chairwomen in their dis
triCt.
