Jaycees Sponsoring
Christmas Tree Sale
Proceeds Wnl BE Used TO Take
Needy Kids Xmas Shopping

Robert Corddry, President of the
Milford Junior Chamber of Com
merce,. announced today the Jay
Gees will again sell Christmas trees
this year. They will be on sale Sat-
urday, December 18th, from nine
a. m. until dark on the used car
lot of Milford Motors on North
Walnut Street in the business sec
tion of Milford.
Realizing how many people were
disappointed in the trees purchased
last year, the Jaycees did not sell
advance tickets this year. To fur
ther protect their customers, they
are buying higher priced trees in
dividually wrapped rather than
buying them bundled. Mr.. Corddry
made a personal contact with the
resource while in Vermont this
past sumEler and was assured of
fresh1y cut satisfactory trees.

Cars, Deer Crash
On State Highway
Two Spots Where Accidents Occur
Found Without The Veaison

Six deer were killed on Delaware
highways in the last three days,
one early last Friday morning on
Route 896; mile south OF Glasgow.
Carcasses of two deer struck by
automobiles in the three-day peri
cd disappeared before the wardens
could reach the scene. The meat is
usually given public institutions as
provided by game laws.
Apparently passing motorists, or
persons living nearby, appropriated
the carcasses, police say.
Miss Helen Eckler, 81, RID Mid
dletown, was driving south on
Route 896. the Newark-Summit
Bridge -Middletown Highway, at 3
a. m. last Friday, when 180-pound
six-point buck leaped into the path
of her car.

Watch Bath Tubs

REC EN'T statistics show that accidents in
the home remain one Of the major causes
OF premature death and injury in the Unit
ed States. The number Of persons killed and
injured in this way is always surprising.
and quite often exceeds casualties on the
battlefront
One of the culprits in the home is the
ordinary bathtub, which, too often, is not
level where occupants must stand to take
shower. Because more and more people are
turning to showers, used with a bathtub
and curtain, this danger is on the increase
wise policy to follow, if Your house con
talns such an arrangement, is inSistence on
perfectly level bottom in the tub, or a
standing mat if the floor of the tub is not
level. Elderly people who often lose their
footing in shower-tub. are sometimes
killed by the resulting fall. Though younger
people are less often killed. they sometimes
receive lifetime injuries which could be
avoided if the proper type Of tubs were
used, or a standing mat PLACED il the more
dangerous type.
A word to the wise should DC acted upon
