A "hot line" tele- between the White House and the Kremlin is evidence of the fear that, without the means of instant- aneous communication -bet- ween the two super powers, civilization itself could be destroyed, as a result of a wrong decision.

It consists of a simple device that makes drivers ELECTRICAL aware of the presence of a pedestrian from a considerable distance. 2 A small tag is pinned inside pocket or purse. During the day -it remains out of sight. After dark it is pulled out and allowed to dangle by a short string as the wearer walks along. It increases his or her visibility almost magically. The "Reflecto-Tag" is coat- ed with literally thousands of glass beads, too small to be seen- individually without a microscope. $ Whichever way the tag turns, it reflects light back, ina narrow cone, to the source of illumination. Thus a -driver sees a brilliant sparkle reflected from _his headlights, from a Reflecto-tag hundreds of feet beyond the point where the pedestrian ceases to be visible.
