Ob- viously the three directors, John Amesbury, Jean Sher- idan and Wynne Wonnacott have given a great deal of careful thought and bard work to this production. No effort was spared to make the sets realistie. Practically a whole -bouse had to be assembled for the five scences, from kitchen- dining room to bathroom. The music which played during the set changes was softly roman- tic establishing the approp- riate atmosphere for the plays to satirize. We look forward witb antic- ipation to their next product- ion.

Ac- cording to a study at the University of North Carolina, there are three possible rea- ,sons: 1) as cars get older, belts and bel t buckles may become damaged and more difficult to operate; 2) older vehicles are frequently driven around town instead of on extended highway trips; 3) as vehicles become older, tbey are more often driven by the young, who are less likely to use safety belts.
