Don't dash up to it at practically full Bpeed and then jam on yojir brakes for a sudden, screeching stop. Pedestrians attempting to cross the street know they have • the f right-of-way, but if they see you bearing down on them at a high rate of speed, they wonder whether you are going to grant it to them. In their uncertainty, they may become confused and do something which will cause an accident. You know you are going to stop, but they don't. They cannot know it, unless by your actions you Indicate your intentions. "Look both ways" is one of the basip rules of pedestrian safety, but a person on foot who must keep his attention centered on you, trying to figure out what you are going to do, may fail to look the other way, and consequently walk right into trouble.

IS RURAL AREAS HIT HARDEST BY LIGHTNING DAMAGE Ninety percent of the damage done by lightning occurs in rural areas, says the Illinois Rural Safety council. Each year lightning kills 360 persons, injures 900 more and causes about $18,000,000 worth of property damage in the United States. 1 Most of 'this los9 is needless, says O. L. Hogsett, extension farm safety specialist at tfiie University of Illinois College of Agriculture. A system of lightning rods, securely fastened and well grounded^ will give buildings almost perfect protection. To protect yourself from lightning, observe these few rules: When caught in an electrical storm, take cover in a building protected by lightning rods if possible. Stay away from open windows or doors and fireplaces, stoves, pipes and other metal objects. Lightning tends to strike the highest point in an area, so stay away from isolated buildings, towers or lone trees. If you are caught in the open during a severe storm, lie on ithe ground so that you won't be a target for lightning. Wo now have... FLAGSTONE * Beautify your home * Walks \ * Rock Gardens, Etc.
