Illinois traffic safety authorities always are searching for unique and different ways of bringing the hazards of driving to the attention of motorists. Now they've suggested the use of DDT to reduce the accident, death and injury, toll on our highways. "Be accident free with DDT', the safety men say. In this instance DDT has no reference to the multipurpose insect repelent. It stands, for Defensive Driving Tactics. And when viewed in this light, DDT can be a very effective accident repelent. Just as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, you are no safer than the worst driver you meet on the highway. That's why you should use DDT to protect yourself from accidents caused by reckless and careless acts of others. You may know and abide by all traffic regulations, always drive at safe speeds and be courteous to other drivers. But that is not enough. If you are to avoid traffic accidents, it's really up to you to avoid the errors of other motorists. You probably have said many times "Driving would be a pleasure if'I didnt have to watch out for so many crazy drivers." Well, the only way you can protect yourself against any hazards "crazy drivers" might create is with good defensive driving tactics--DDT. Easter Parade Easter Parade Style Review is the title given to the fashion show which will be held at the high school gym on March 26 at 2 p.m. sponsored by the Methodist church.

Dollar-loss from these fires alone is estimated at $58,000,* 000. Reminder to' motorists --the wail of a fire, police or ambulance siren is every driver's signal to clear the street. Someone's life or property is at stake. The Institute for Safer Living says, pull to the right of the roadway and come to a complete stop if you do not block the roadway. If stopping would result in blocking the roadway, keep moving until you can stop without creating a roadblock. DR. JOHN C.
