The accident oc­ curred on Thompson road, just north of Route 120. Detwiler was north-bound on the roadway and said he must have dozed. He swerved to miss a rabbit and the next thing he knew, he was crawling out of the car.

Consumers' Corner Certain Plastics Are Fire Hazards The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is claiming that certain plastics, which have been mark­ eted as "non-combustible," are serious fire hazards. The charge is made in a proposed class-action complaint against a number of producers and marketers of cellu­ lar (or foamed) polyurethane and all forms of polystyrene. These plastics are commonly used in the 1 construction and home furnish­ ings industries for insulation, fur­ niture cushioning and bedding, panels and siding, pipes, plumb­ ing and lighting fixtures and fur­ niture. The FTC's action is not in­ tended to remove these plastics from the market. Rather, the in­ tent is to have producers ade­ quately warn buyers and users that the products are combustible and that precautions should be taken in installing and using products made of these materials. Plastic foam, for instance, is used for house insulation and presents a hazard only if users do not real­ ize that the material requires a fire-resistant covering.

His statement was in response to testimony given by a government witness Aug. 14 in U.S. District court, Chicago. The witness, John Anthony Cello, accused every member of the Chicago Avenue district vice squad of receiving organized payoffs from tavern owners during his assignment which began in 1964. Sheriff Tyrrell, until 1963, served as a Chicago vice detective. Later, he joined the Illinois Crime Investigating commission. Deaths DR. HOWARD V. SMITH Dr. Howard V.

Scholarship Winners Meet With Waddell Meeting with the college students who have received scholarships on his recom­ mendation, Rep. R. Bruce Waddell last week described the program and said he en­ courages students to "equip themselves to meet life later on." He described the opportunity to gain a college education as "a stepping stone to help you get further ahead in whatever you choose to do." The state legislator said he wanted to meet with these scholarship recipients to become better acquainted with them and to emphasize his personal interest in their career development. "I also want the young people to know I welcome their calls should they have questions or problems. I also am anxious for the new freshmen to become acquainted with earlier scholarship recipients at the school where they are at­ tending so they'll know someone with whom to com­ municate from their home area," he added during the luncheon program in Dundee. Rep. Waddell said he and other legislators from the district work together to give equitable, alert distribution of the legislative scholarships. •iE O L D T I M E R A Lot Of Sediment! If all the 491,000,000 tons of suspended sediment deposited in the oceans each year from the conterminous United States were piled on the Mall in Washington, D.C., the sediment would reach about 1,400 feet, or 2Vi times as high as the Washington Monu­ ment. From Mrs. Mary B. Mobley, Colorado Springs, CO: In the sum mer of 1916 when I was eight years old, I went to Connecticut to visit my Grandmother. When the family decided to let me go swimming with them a female cousin produced a dark blue wool serge bathing suit with separate matching bloomers. The trim was rows of white braid and it was sailor styled with a large collar The bloomers tied with a string around my waist and had ruffles at the knee We drove to Tyler Pond in a small buggy with one horse. I had been told to go into the water only a half hour, but I stayed in all day, although I had never been swimming anywhere before. I crawled around on my hands and knees in water at the edge just deep enough to keep my head above water. Late in the afternoon we went home. My mother discovered that the blue dye from the swimming outfit had come off on me and I was blue from my knees to my neck. It took some uncomfortable scrubbing to remove it.
