Despite all warnings, despite good intentions on the part of most drivers, despite good cars a#d good roads, it can bo predicted --and probably with horrifying accuracy-- that some 300 persons in our country will lose their lives in traffic crashes during those three dsyk, and that about 30 of those deaths will occur on Illinois streets and highways. • Don't drive either too fast or too slow.

URGE USE OF CAUTION WHEN v HITCHING TAi^TOj^ S When hitching your tractor to an implement, your place is on the seat -- not between the tractor and the machine. For disobeying this rule, many a farmer has paid with smashed fingers, a crippled ileg or even his life, says O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. In some cases the farmer blames a grabby ©lutdlii for his accident. Ofr maybe he thinks a hand clutch is meant to be operated from behind the tractor while he juggles the implement tongue. But the manufacturer didn't make^ the hand! clutch for that purpose. If you get hurt or killed by misusing it, it's your fault t-- not the tractor's. You don't have to get off tl'ie 1 tractor to (hitch a wagon, plow I or other implement with a light tongue if you have a hook that | lets you lift the tongue while you stay on the seat. ; >'v | For discs, manure sprejuders J and "other hard-to-hltch %t>ols, i take the time to jack tfoe implement to the right height Rafter stopping the tractor a few QtCTtes frorh the' machine. If you think you don't have •time to take this precaution, you'd better get out of the i&rming business before an puts you out. > c& DIAMONDS ARE PRICELESS Most of us see in a deck of playing cards an inexpensive, wholesome way of spending.a few relaxed hours with friends. In addition,"some famous Americans have found even greater and more ingenious uses for the paste- • boards. Benjamin Franklin, in addition to • being, statesman, author and inventor, was one of the first m a n u f a c t u r e r s of p l a y i n g •wr-,. cards in the United States, vjBfe even'used cards irt some otilhis «6rly electrical experiments. In 1731, Franklin made a "friction machine" which created friction by means of a belt connecting two wheels, over which hung a silk curtain. On a revolving rod at the top were eight discs cut from old playing cards. Around 1750, it was the style to send invitations written on the backs of playing cards. There is one such card in a collection of historic playing cards at the Cincinnati Museum. On the back of the card is an invitation written to the granddaughter of the first mayor -of Philadelphia. In lovely old script it says, "The gentlemen of the Army present their compliments to Mrs. Jeykell and beg the favor of her dbmpany to a ball at the Statehouse on Monday next." The well-known Lord Geoffrey Amherst was another .famous person whp^ followed this custom by using playing cards with plain backs for the handwritten invitations he sent out, for some of his famous parties. In his time it was popular to cut cards into quarters and to use the sections as visiting cards. This may well have b^en the origin of our modern visiting cards. In 1765 playing cards were used as admission cards to the classes at the University of Pennsylvania. One of the most unusual uses for cards and certainly the most expensive one ever made was ? single playing card that sold at public auction in 1880 for $13,750: The card was a five of diamonds, appropriately, which contained a miniature painting by Hans Holbein, the famous Germ an painter who lived in the 15th Century and who was one of the foremost artists of his time. Paintings on playing cards are rare nowadays but rpany people find that it is fun to trim up their old. decks and fasten them together in unusbal table decorations for parties, or to cut up the face cards and paste the heads on paper matchcases.
