WMMWMM PG. 10, - PLAINDEALER - WED., AUG., 7, 1968 fr-.-av';},. Horsepower At Work Motor vehicle registrations increased 3 percent in the .^United States for the calendar year 1967. According to recent* figures released by the Federal Highway Administration's Bureau Of Public Roads, total, motor vehicles registered in the United. States were 96,989,132, a gain of 3,087,102 over 1966. The increase for 1967 compares favorably with recent annual increases 3,604,363 in 1966, 4,056,460 in 1965, and 3,587,490 in 1964. The figures also point out that the 1950 gain over 1949 of 4,472,000 ituitos holds the record increase since the post World War 11 period. A breakdown of the 96,989,132 motor vehicles registered includes 80,458,317 automobiles, 337,197 buses, and 16,193,618 trucks. The percentage increases over 1966 %re as follows: Autos 3.0 percent, buses 4.7 percent, and trucks 4.4 percent, in order to eliminate duplications resulting from buses registered in more than one state, the bus data are estimates of the numbers in operations rather than registrations. Illinois ranked sixth among the states in total motor vehicle registration with a total Of 4,818,259. California headed the list of states with 10,849,514 motor vehicles in 1967. A further breakdown of Elinois statistics shows that private and commercial autos (including taxicabs) numbered 4,186,627, while publicly owned vehicles (not including military sendee owned vehicles) numbered 18,328. Buses estimated to be in operation in Illinois, of a private and commercial nature, were 10,172. With this kind of horsepower on the road, it would seem wise to heed the warning to drive defensively. Advertising Boost Trading stamps, apparently a fixture in American retailing, are not and should not be considered a substitute for advertising. Somewhat to the surprise of even retailers and newspapers publishers, trading stamp companies have become the biggest boosters of newspaper advertising. Officials of the trading stamp firms have never claimed that their stamps could or should replace aggressive newspaper advertising. In fact, wherever trading stamps have been introduced newspaper advertising has been increased. The stamps, and no other point of sales promotional device, can provide the shopping information necessary for bringing consumers to the modern supermarket. Increased use of newspaper advertising is likely to follow the introduction of trading stamps for several reasons. The trading stamp companies recognize the value of news* paper advertising and use it extensively to advertise their stamps* In one city grocery advertising in newspapers increased 65 percent as the result of competition among firms handling trading stamps. The grocery stores, because of competition, also increased their advertising while reducing the cost of many products. Also, stores which do not give trading stamps found it profitable to use additional newspaper advertising explaining why they preferred to operate without offering the premiums. The trading stamp movement has only proven that no substitute, however attractive, can be used for straightforward information presented in the local newspaper concerning the , goods for sale. / Tips from a Pro Wray Mundy NATIONAL TRUCK DRIVER OF THE YEAR ILLINOI BY DON RUSSELL AND JERRY WARSHAW iiirc&is!

Tall Fence Hides Side Yard Patio A side yard can be a fine locale' for a patio, and It's an easy spot to enclose for privacy. On the street side, build a tall fence that extends right out from the corner of the house. Match the fence pattern and color to the house siding. That way, the fence looks like part of the house wall and the house looks larger, too. YI riiTira riTiergrii I»I M rri AA» MMI v: Are You New ! In Town? Do You Know Someone New In Town?

According to the Illinois State Bar association, a new federal statute gives each family the right to decide that an advertisement is "erotically arousing or sexually provocative" and file a complaint with the Post Office. There is also a provision to list names of the children who are under 19 who reside at home so that offensive mail will not be directed to them. The Post Office, upon receipt of, the complaint, will notify the sender not to direct any more mail to the complainant and to withdraw the complainants name from the mailing list. Individuals who continue to receive offensive advertisements after the initial complaint should report this to the Post Office. Postal authorities will issue a second warning and if that is unheeded, legal action may be taken. Last year the Post Office department receive over 140,000 complaints protesting the receipt of pandering advertisements and other such offensive mail. However, accordingtothe ISBA, it was difficult to take corrective actiori since the material was not legally obscene. The new law lets recipients decide the obscenity question as it applies to their mail. The Post Office has published a pamphlet (POD 123) called "How You Can Curb Pandering Advertisements" which explains the new law and includes a copy of the complaint form. The pamphlet is available at local post offices. A copy of the form appears below. 1. » recipient of the enclosed mailing from consider this 'mailing to be a pandering advertisement which offers for sale erotically rousing or sexually provocative matter.

Dr. Sam's mother shows much the same rejuvenation that took place in Mrs. Crane's father. For he had a fixed,right hip for many years until Mrs. Crane slipped a little sea brine into his morning oatmeal. Notice what happended then. Trace chemicals may prove to be the' greatest toon in all our 20th Century medical therapy! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D.JM.D. CASE G-532: Dr. Sam was in my audience when I addressed the College of Physicians and Surgeons at San Francisco. Afterwards he came up to talk about trace chemicals. "Dr. Crane," he began, "my mother lives in Texas. And she was so knotted up with arthritis that she couldn't walk. "In fact, my sister looks after her and would require help to get Mother into a wheel chair. "We had three different medical experts treat her, but Mother made ho progress whatsoever. "For 3 years she had been a wheelchair case. "Then I suggested she take a little sea water daily, so I shipped her a gallon of our Pacific Ocean water. ' "My sister would sterilize it by boiling and then put a spoonful of the salt brine-into Mother's oatmeal or tomato juice. "And in 12 weeks, Mother was up, walking around and doing her own housework! "So something in that sea water must have done the job. Maybe just one of the 44 trace chemicals was what she needed. "Perhaps we shall ultimately be able to try each one in turn for every kind of deficiency ailment, but right now my sister and I are delighted to see Mothr er walking around and painfree".

When you are comfortably seated behind the wheel and you slam the door, do you suddenly grow a different head, and a different set of standards?

Live a little longer . . . take your manners along with you on that trip . . . even if it's just around the block. Courtesy behind the wheel can save your life, as well as that of the other guy.

"It began to change color after I started using sea water/' was their usual explanation. At the Wisconsin State Dental convention, as well as at the Minnesota State convention, I was asked to digress for 45 minutes frpm my usual lectures to discuss sea water and trace chemicals in their possible relation to deficiency ailment. The dental surgeons weren't primarily concerned . with changing white hair to black. But if ocean water thereby caused a rejuvenation in the pigment cells of the scalp, might it not be able to produce a similar rejuvenation in the endocrine glands and other tissue cells of the body? Since cancer and diabetes, gray hair, baldness and many other complaints are often called deficiency ailments and linked with the aging process, then if the ocean's trace chemicals can give us a throw-back to a younger age bracket, maybe they would deter or even prevent such deficiency ailments. Over 5,000 dental surgeons and physicians have written to me regarding this trace chemical idea and many of them are using the sea water on themselves or their families. Mrs. Crane and I have been using it, and also giving it to my mother, aged 90. My father-in-law rejuvenated 5 or 6 years and his fixed right hip, of 10 years duration, loosened up inside of 3 months when he took a little ocean water daily. And he didn't even know he took it, for Mrs. Crane slipped it into his morning oatmeal every day. So send for that booklet "The Ocean's 44 Trace Chemicals", enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents'. Is your house too warm during the summer months? A ma- ' jor cause couldi be a paved patio built directly adjoining house walls. Paving not only absorbs and transfers heat through walls and windows, but cap also reflect sun glare unpleasantly. For an existing patio, the best solution is a shade roof which can be built economically using 4x4-inch Douglas fir posts, 2x8- inch beams and spaced 1x2s for s l a t r o o f i n g . The s u n s h a d e should cover at least an eight-- foot width next to the house, but it's even better to cover the entire patio. Homeowners who have done so claim it reduced indoor temperatures by ten degrees. When building a new patio, a sunshade should be included. But it will also help if a fourfoot- wide strip is left unpaved next to the house. Planted with evergreens, this area provides breathing space that helps prevent heat build-Up. Coziness Forte ©f Mini-Deck Mini-skirts may be on the way out, hints the fashion world, but home designers say mini-decks are definitely in. What's a mini-deck? It's, a pint-sized porch just big enough for two chairs, a side table and a planter tub. Mini-decks can be tucked anywhere around the house to extend living space to the outdoors. What makes them special is that same extra-cozy feeling that you get from a delightful little den. A wonderful place for a minideck is right outside the master bedroom. Open up one wall with sliding glass doors, build a tiny deqk outside, and the bedroom will look three times larger than it used to. Plus you'll have an outdoor retreat all your own-- nice especially when the children have taken over the main patio.
