Women Recognized For Making Nation's Highways Safer For Travel A retired postmaster's idea and energetic action by a woman's club are making highways safer in Florida. The postmaster was worried about the danger to rural mail carriers stopping on the highway. He thought mail box turnouts would eliminate the hazard. The Orlando Pilot club saw even greater possibilities for the idea, and it soon grew into a plan for group action by the fourth district, Florida, of Pilot International. Through th«ir= effort, fifty rural mailbox turnouts Were constructed along Florida highways. It was soon apparent that the crescent-shaped ibays were an important safety bonus for box holders, for children boarding and alighting from school buses, for motorists forced to make emergency stops, as well as for the letter carriers. Their efforts were rewarded When "the fourth district became the first club to win the top award in the 1953 Carol Lane Awards for Traffic Safety, receiving a $1,000 defense^ bond and a bronze statuette symbolic of their achievement. The Carol Lane Awards, the nation's only awards which recognize the achievements of women in the field of traffic safety, are administered by the National Safety Council through a grant from the Shell Oil company. Heartened by the enthusiastic acceptance of their project, the Florida women are pushing the ATTENTION FARMERS II You Want To •BUY • SELL or * TRADE FARM MACHINERY LIVESTOCK POULTRY - PRODUCE USE THE WANT ADS PHONE 170 McHenry Plaindealer | program vigorously. Mrs. Sara , G. Hughes, of Orlando, Pilot j state chairman of the turnout j project and the women who saw 1 the possibilities of the postmaster's idea, asked that funds for 100 new turnouts be included in the state's 1954 road budget. Instead, .100 turnouts were authorized. The highway administrators, impressed by the work of the club, added $150,000 to the maintenance budget . for paving of turnouts.. ' • ' This major safety project is an example of the effective work being done by women and women's group's in tiie traffic safety field. Other such projects are eligible for the 1954 Carol Lahe Awards, which are open through June 30, 1954. Flirther information- may be obtained from Alice C.

AGRICULTURAL PE8t Notice to farmers in northern Illinois: The European corn borer, rated as potentially the No. 1 agricultural pest of Illinois, came through the winter in good shap with the second highest population on record, and poses a threat to the 1954 corn crop. This warning comes from Dr. George C. Decker, a state Natural History Survey entomologist. The heaviest infestations are reported in an area about 75 miles wide evtending across Illinois from Rock Island, Mercer and Henderson counties on the west to Will, Kankakee and Iroquois counties on the east, Dr. Decker hurlv and late plantings of corn should not be made in fields where the corn borer averaged one borer or more per stalk in the 1953 fall survey, Dr. Decker advised. Midseason plantings have the tleSt dhance of escaping ! most of the first and second! generation borer, and with favorable weather may help produce large numbers of moths and second generation borers in August and September. ^ SWEATERS SHOULD | BE PURCHASED WITH EYE TO EASY FIT This season of chilly mornings and nippy evenings makes one reach for a sweater, or else wish for one if that item is missing from the wardrobe. If you don't have a sweaterbecause you've felt you are not tlift "sweater girl" type, the chances ane you've had some trouble in buying a size that is right for you. Many women find sizing a problem, for they don't want the close fit that results when sweaters must be stretched to their size. Myra Baker, clothing specialist of the University of Illinois, savs that, in ofder to get an easy, comfortable fit, you will need a size 38 or 40 sweater if you wear a size 36 dress. In other words, you can generally count on needing a size or two larger than your usual dress size. If you wear a larger sized dress than a 36, you may have trouble finding a sweater that fits comfortably unless the manufacturer's line runs large. At present it is not a goo3 idea to buy a sweater without trying it on first. And it should be tried on over the kind of clothing that will be worn underneath. Careful shoppers have found that sweaters of the same style, marked with the same size number, may differ as much as two inches in bust or chest measurement and an inch or more in sleeve length and width. Taking time to try on the sweaier win save dissatisfaction and exchanges that are troublesome and costly both to you and the store. ^ WAITRESS ih • Denver CoU hash house inherited a million dollars overnight.
