Boate, manager of the accident prevention department of the Association of Casualty and Surety companies, declares. Greatly stepped-up traffic law enforcement measures, he warned, arp imparative for the protection of motorists and pedestrians fiUke. "Last year," Mr. Boate said, "the nation suffered 38.300 traffic deaths, 2,158,000 injuries and 9,000,000 accidents. During the first quarter of this year, we were 10 per cent ahead of figures for the same period last year. If this rate continues, we will ^nd 1956 with 42,130 deaths, 2.373,500 injuries and 10,000,000 accidents on our highways.

What fabrics and other materials will a cigarette ignite most easily? Do certain conditions make a cigarette especially dangerous? To find the answers to these questions, the office of California's state fire marshal recently conducted a series of tests. Lighted cigarettes were droppod into wastebaskets antf* boxes filled with various types of rubbish and driod vegetation, and fanned to make conditions most favorable for burning. They were puffed near flammable liquids and gases, and pinched so their flowing coals fell through flamrrfnhle vapors.

The answer is by sheer numbers! In 1955, more than 400 billion cigarettes were smoked - about 760,000 a minute. At that rate, it would take only one cigarette in 2 million to cause 200,000 fires a year! If you are a cigarette smoker, the services of Msgr. C. S. Nix and Msgr. F.

I am, and Blondie and Dagwood are my favorites. A eouple of weeks ago Blondie came home from shopping loaded down with packages, "Here's the $10 you gave me dear." she said, "I didn't spend a cent today." Dagwood was amazed to say the least. . . "You mean you bought all those things and it didn't cost you a cent?" he asked. "That's rig^t," Blondie replied. ... "I charged them." Blondie's "economy" reminds me of folks who think they're economizing by denying themselves the benefits of a Zeo- Ran Automatic Water Softener. Fact of the matter is. it's actually expensive to run a household without a water softener. Research by some of the nation's leading househould and women's magazines has proven that a water softener saves the a v e r a g e f a m i l y of f o u r up to $165 per year Here's where the savings come from: 9 70% saving on soap 25% less wear and tear on fabrics • 25% saving on coffee • 25% saving on fuel for heating • 16% less wear and tear on cooking utensiles PLUS the fact that with a Z e o - R a n A u t o m a t i c W a t e r Softener you'll enjoy these benefits . whiter washings . . . it's easier on your skin (help's Mom's complexion care and eases Dad's shaving) no more streaky glassware . . ."no scale deposits to clog pipes etc. I'd appreciate an opportunity to analyze the water in your home and show you how you can save money at the same time you're enjoying all the luxuries of an endless supply of soft water from the faucets in your home.
