PUBLIC SAFETY


Three out Of FIVE traffic deaths
occur during the hours Of dark
ness, and Saturday remains the
most dangerous night Of the week.
These and other facts are shown,
In a study Of the most recent u. s.
traffic accident records by the Ma
tional Street and Traffic Safety,
Lighting Bureau.
Statistics vary state by state.
but the role Of darkness IS always
clear. Though night traffic totals
only 33 per cent Of all traffic, night
accidents claim nearly SO per cent
of all persons killed and more than
40 per cent Of all those injured.
According to the Bureau, chang
ing human nature to correct hui;
man failings which cause traffic,
accidents IS 3 difficult, long.range;
project. (
A more direct and immediately
reWarding method Of curbing the;
traffic toll, as demonstrated BY In
~dianapolis and q growing list Of
other communities, Is to give the.
people adequate light SO they can
make their own way safely.

/ Every housewife deserves Q
| pamper corner. This should be
a spot that can be used by her
and her friends just for glamour,
The little nook should have a
place for powder and puff. pins
and stuff-all the things q girl
enjoys for primping.
Sure it is fine to have a vanity
table in your bedroom, but much
more cozy to have one in a little
secluded spot that friends can
enjoy too when they come to
visit. t
Look around for waste space.
You may find 1t behind a. STAIR
case, a foyer outside the bath
room door or even in a closet.
If you have your own closet
you Cor a cooperative hushand)
can fix up a little pamper spot
this way:
Put a plate glass mirror panel
on the inside of the closet door.
A shelf made in a half-moon
shape at your local lumber yard
may be attached with brackets
to the door just below mirror.
You can have it covered with
glass or painted a bright color.
Evening star., 1955-02-19
Does Your House Need q Glamour Corner?

Hang an attractive skirt around
it. Put some pockets In the skirt
to hold everything from hair pins
to curriers'.
Behind the skirt place some
hooks for shoes. II there is
enough space left so that dresses
win not be crushed when the
door is closed, additional narrow
shelves may be put behind the
skirt on the door to hold boxes,
belts. etc.
A very attractive and cozy
little powder spot may be made
behind a flight of stairs. The
entire area might be wallpapered
or painted for extra charm. A
f1uorescent light above the table
can give adequate light. The
bench or chair used with the lit
tie vanity should also be a stor-
age unit. 1t can hold endless
useful paraphernalia from strings
of beads to a home permanent
wave kit.
Evening star., 1955-02-19

One Of the good reasons for
having your vanity table out Of
the bedroom. too. is to get it out
Of the way. Husbands have a
way Of picking on vanity tables.
especially when they do not have
much closet or drawer space of
their own. If you keep it in some
secluded spot. 1t will not cause
too much excitement in your
household.
Evening star., 1955-02-19

Wherever the vanity table Is,
there should be a feeling of pri-
vacy. When you curl your lashes
you'll want to feel it is your
little secret. The same goes for
a hair tinting job. AS a matter
of fact. it might not be a bad
idea to keep your cosmetics se-
crets under lock and key away
from the youngsters. if not the
prying eyes of others.
