(An Editorial) Are you a heel at the wheel? The National Safety Council, which is coordinating a nationwide Fourth of July safety campa% n, holds up six mirrors. If you can see yourself in any of them, then be prepared to become a holiday statistic. The Me-Firster -- this is tlie selfish competitive character who must be first away from the traffic light, can't stand to have anyone pass him. and risks the life of anyone who gets in his way. The Big I this is the fellow who is too big for the rules. Others can obey the law and a code of decent and courteous behavior, but not this self-inflated big shot. He's above all that. The Know-It-All -- this driver is good, in his own estimation. He knows just what the other driver is going to do, just how fast he can stop, just how much room he needs to cut in on another car. But the only way this over-confident jerk escapes disillusionment is that the really good drivers give him a wide berth. The Swashbuckler -- this fellow thinks he expresses his masculinity or something by living dangerously behind the wheel. He believes that he who hesitates is lost, and that his luck will hold forever. The Sorehead -- this fellow is just plain hostile. He drives with a chip on his shoulder and is ready to lock fenders for any real or "imagined wrong. He's sore at everyone, and very brave while surrounded by a steel automobile with the windows rolled up. The 'Show-Off -- this is the exhibitionist. He's graduated from no hands on a bike to no sense at the wheel. He just wants people to admire his flashy performance, but most other drivers are too busy getting out of hi? way. I' Take a good, long look at yourself in one of these mirrors. See anything? A heel at the wheel>|^ets by because the good, .drivers give him the margin of safety he fails to give himself. But the heavy Fourth of July traffic will reduce that margin. .Watch it! Da Vinci, the artist, was first to mention the presence of twe different gases in the atmosphere.

But with other parties, it's picture taking just for fun--and for keeping memories of that fun fresh to enjoy in .years to come. One of the things that make party pictures so very satisfactory is that the people always come out looking so very nice. In fact; a party setting offers one,of the best possible occasions for picturing people. First of all, we usually try to look our best on festive evenings. Secondly, we're relaxed and having a good time. That makes an unbeatable combination for produchig natural, attractive snapshots of your favorite people. The party gives you a reason for picture taking and you can get good informal group pictures, with a definite center of interest. All of the things that go with a good snapshot are at hand. It isn't hard to find something for your subject to do, or a center of interest to give him or her a focal point of attention. It brings people together in a setting that helps the picture tell without explanation the story of why they are together at the particular time. Flash photography is the secret to successful party pictures. You can hold sunlight in your hand when you pick up the little bulb When you insert it in the reflectoi flash attachment that fits right on the side of your camera, you have your light source right where you want it. The same movement which opens the shutter flashes the bulb at just the right instant. You can carry your light right with you, wherever you want. In addition, some of these flash bulbs are very fast and will endow the simplest of cameras with enough extra speed to stop any normal movement your subject may make. This makes party picture taking easy indeed and puts it in the can't miss class--if you'll only follow the distance directions packed with the film and printed on the flash bulb carton. --John Van Guilder Ifr| .|i < Ht'M • •> • • fr<• •}> HEALTH TALK Use Care on "The Fourth" Loss of sight, amputation of an arm or a leg, even death, will mar the lives of numerous persons onr" the three-day holiday ending the Fourth of July all because safety precautions are foigotten in the haste and carelessness usually associated with Independence Day fun. the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society comments in a health talk. Fireworks, traffic accidents, drownings, excessive exercise, over-eating, too much and too rapid exposure to the sun will bring tragedy instead of happiness, unless common sense prevails during the holiday. Fireworks, for example, should be avoided, except at public displays Where every precaution is taken to safeguard spectators. The law forbidding the sale of fireworks was not enacted to' create a hardship, but as a protective measure. Explosives are dangerous and should be handled care* fully, no matter how attractively packaged, whether they be rockets, firecrackers or sparklers. Many injuries to the eyes have occurred from the use of fireworks, resulting, frequently, in the loss of vision to or both eyes. A child's life may be impaired permanently for a few minutes of play. Traffic accidents will take a heavy toll during the three-day holiday, unless safety measures are followed by everyone. Drivers of motor vehicles should be cautious on the streets. While safety habits are daily being taught to children, adults must remember that the young mind fci impulsive. Children, in the rush of play and enthusiasm, will take chances on their bicycles or in play in the street that may endanger their lives. Adults must assume the responsibility of assisting children to protect tliemselves. Drivers of motor vehicles and pedestiians alike should accept individual responsibility to prevent a holiday accident iand death toll. A person should not take a drink if he plans to drive a car. Complete mental and physical control is necessary to maintain good reflex action in an emergency. Speeding should be avoided , a minute or two gained may be a life lost. Take proper precautions in passing other cars on the road. A headon collision is a tragic price to pay to put one more car behind you on your journey, resulting ih a trip to the hospital instead of a trip for fun. Motorists should give pedestrians a break. Don't rush those who ate slow in crossing during a light change. A display of temper or quickness in starting your car won't! help matters in an accident. Don't try to acquire your summer tan in the first three-day holiday. Sickness from over-exposure to the sun's lays can result in a serious threat to your health. Holidays are meant for recreation. Enjoy them, but be thoughtful and wise in having your fun. Plan wisely, drive and play carefully. Don't let you or your loved ones end up as a statistic. Have fun, but return to your home with a spirit of buoyancy in anticipation of another safe and happy holiday. day.
