ASSIGN 99 OF FIRST 100 LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS FOR '56 Secretary of State Charlies F. Carpentier has announced the assignment of ninety-nine of the first 100 motor vehicle license numbers for 1956. Assignment of number 6 has not been completed. There were only two changes in the list. License number 12, which had been' registered in the name of Empire Associates of Chicago, is now listed in the name of R. E. Stolkin, an official of the company. License number 40 was assigned to Florence G. Kipfer of Evanston, daughter of the late J Lucy F. Greenberg of Evanston, who held it in 1955. i The other ninety-seven regisi trants used the state's re-assignment law to retain their numbers for another year. Home fire deaths are at their height from October through March, and in many cases accidental ignition -of clothing is a contributing factor. These facts are reported in a recent study made by the office of California's* s.tate fire marshal and based on 1951-1953 home fire deaths in that state. Other important facts ' were also revealed. For instance, females were found to have suffered about three times as many deaths involving accidental ignition of clothing as males. Among children, the ratio of girls to boys was about 12 to 1! Furthermore, children under 9 and adults 75 and over -- which together comprise only 22 per cent of California's population -- accounted for 55 per cent of the deaths. These statistics indicate that beyond the question of the relative flammability of fabrics, which is the basis for present safety standards, it is also important to consider (1) the style or design of the clothing and (2) the age or physical condition of Jthe wearer. \ By 9 its Very nature, women's clothing is more apt to ignite easily than men's. Skirts usually end .several inches above the floor and often stand out from the body. They may be made of morfe than one layer of looselywoven fabric. Sleeves may be long and loose; there may be sashes • or decorative bows that can swing out from the garment. Bear this in mind- when you make or buy clothing, especially for the children and older members, of your family. In addition, the National Board of £ire Underwriters recommends that you make sure every member of the family understands the danger of standing too near a heater or an open fire, reaching across a lighted burner or candle, or otherwise bringing a source of heat close to their clothing. , NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION ON FARM SAFETY I I M I I j I Jt Paysto Shop kl Home *£• •• • •> <• 'irv • Common Sense, Not Driving Tricks* Will Keep You Alive In Fifty-Six The New Year holiday is past and like thfe previous holiday weekend, hundreds of traffic fatalities were chalkted up in spite erf prior warnings to motorists. Before many days, we informed just how 1955 compared with the previous year, wS^n deaths decreased despite increased population, vehicle registrations and travel. That figure was proof that increasing effectiveness of safety efforts is paying off. Much, improvement is still needed as noted by these statistics from 1954, which are a pretty fair average for any year: About 3 out of every 10 drivers involves in fatal accidents violated a speed law.--' One out of every 5 drivers involved in fatal accidents, for whom_ condition was stated, had been drinking. In only 1 cut of every 6 fata? accidents, the weather was rainy, snowy or foggy. „ In more than 1 out of every 5 fatal accidents, the road condition was wet, muddy, snowy or Icy. In nearly 1 out of every 8 fatal accidents the driver's vision was obscured for various reasons. Six per cent of the vehicles involved in fatal accidents, for wiiich condition was stated, had unsafe%conditions. About 1 aut of every 14 drivers involved in fatal traffic accidents had a physical condition that mi'ght have been a contributing factor, chiefly sleepiness or fatigue. "Safety for all in 1956." That should be. the determined effort of every farm family this coming year. - / Right now is the time to make resolutions says O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture. And of equal importance is the determination to KEEP them throughout the coming year. ^ A New Year's safety resolution can be an interesting and profitable project for the entire farm family. Safety is more than a pastime. Safety can be the mea,ns Of assuring, happiness and the well-being of farm people everywhere. The Illinois Rural Safety council suggests the following as suitable New Year's resolutions to be kept by the farm family in 1956: 1. We will check the farm and home to locate and remove all hazards. 2. We will keep all. shields and guards in place on machinery. 3. Regardless of the emergency, we will not permit young children to operate or ride upon farm machinery. We willX be. alert for safety fift^stwo Weeks of ^tl»ey - There., are many other farm safety resolutions that you should consider, buch as keeping guns unloaded and out of children's reach; being cautiQUs in handling all farm animals; encourage farm safety" activities in all of our organizations; handle petroleum products carefully; operate tractors and other machinery with due caution, ~ Remember, it's important to KEEP the1 resolutions you make. Let's reduce accidents in 1956. Remember, thjp man who waits 'til tomorrow to start a savings program may end up living on charity. Start the U.S. savings bond plan today. 1 ** ^ . \ County Residents Plan To Aii@nd Farm-Homd Week McHenry county residents will have the opportunity to attend Farm and Home Week sessions' at the University of Illinois on a bus chartered by the Home Bureau.
