They are built for operation at speeds up' to 80 miles per hour and will have seats for 169 people. Illinois, and farmers are moving mechanical corn pickers from farm to farm. Corn pickers are large pieces of equipment and are decidedly not built for speed--especially the speed that most passenger cars attain on the highways. As soon as you see one moving along the shoulder of the road, cut your speed abruptly, because you will overtake it in an extremely short length of time, and It may be necessary to come to a complete stop before passing it. Be sure yon can Btop, if yon should have to. Many serious highway crashes have resulted when the driver of a pasenger car has failed to slacken his speed sufficiently and then, in a last second emergency, has crashed into a farm vehicle from the rear. Be particularly careful on the less heavily traveled highways. Farmers avoid the principal highways as much as possible, but they have to use the others to get their equip* ment from one farm to another.

Use a Snapshot to Say "Be My Valentine" THERE'S no occasion on which we send greeting < cards that is more personal and frankly sentimental than Valeutine's Day. While Valentines have changed during the years, to a degree, there hasn't been a very marked change. They follow a general pattern and without a doubt the youngsters in your house will want the Valentines they send their little friends to be just like those exchanged by the other children. But how about the Valentines they send to their favorite grownups? That's an excellent time to use a snapshot to say "Be My Valentine." While doting grandparents, fond aunts and uncles will be delighted with anything your small fry sends, they will treasure one that bears the sender's picture. There are any number of ways you could make such cards. One would be to take a picture of the youngster with his head sttMk through a hole in a large card- ' board heart The message and signature could be written or printed right on the heart, and then you'd have the whole Valentine in v single picture. You could have youi photofinisher print as many as the list requires and you'd be all iel for mailing. It's a good idea t« have them done on double weight paper for extra stiffness. Probably the photofinisher can even provide an envelope of the right si2e. Another Valentine card pool* bility would be snapping of a close-up picture of the youngster against a plain background. You could place this picture in a folder of bright paper, with a heartshaped cut out for the picture to show through. Or you could trim the snapshot to the shape of • heart and mount it in any way you wish. --John Van Guilder Business and Service Directory of Watch This Space For Weekly Specials CROSLEY and COLEMAN Products Household Needs -- Bottled Gas -- T.V.
