HOME PRIME HOLIDAY DANGER SPOTS The highway and the home are the prime holiday danger spots, the National Safety Council emphasized this week. With just a few weeks remaining until the holiday season gets in full swing, the Council took a look at the record: 1. Thousands of persons injured in traffic and home accidents during the year-end holiday. 2. More accidental deathjs'liv December than in any^j^ther month. 3. Holiday spirits -- the kind found in a bottle -- emerging as one of the big accident causes, especially on the highway. The Council pointed out that drivers have a moral responsibility to keep themselves and others safe from accidents. When they cause an accident because of drink, it said, they are guilty of violating a commandment. Major holiday home hazards were listed by the Council as: 1. Slips and falls. 2. Fires 3. The hustle-bustle of the season. Falls, the Council said, are caused in a variety of ways -- toys scattered around the floor, climbing too high to hang decorations. using a chair instead of a stepladder for climbing, ice on steps and sidewalks. The fire danger, said the Council, can be reduced if holiday decorations are fireproof or fire-resistant. The decoration that deserves the most attention, it said, is the Christmas tree itself. It suggested: 1. Don't buy your tree too early. When you do get it, keep it in a cold spot till ready to use. 2.

Red Schoendienst. a member of the Milwaukee Braves, who has been appointed national honorary chairman by the National Tuberculosis association. Farm land prices continued their upward climb this past year. Latest available figures are for July. At that time average prices of Illinois farm land were up 6 percent from year-before levels. The United States average was also up 6 percent. Compared with 20 years ago (1939), both Illinois and U. S. land values have . more than tripled' (Illinois, 3.8 times; U. S., 3.4). The rise in U. S. land prices has been almost continuous since 1943. In this period o£ sixteen years, there were only iwo short periods of declining values. One was during the recession of 1949-50, just before the Korean war. The other was in the recession of 1952-53, just ^ter the Korean war. Many "explanations" a r e given for the rise in farm real estate prices. Some people point to the demand for land for non-farm uses--highways, residential sites and industrial uses. Others say that city business and professional men are bidding prices up. Still others list the need for farmers to get more land to make better use of their machinery and labor. The simple fact is that land has been a good investment -- even without y^ood management. Ours i/ a high-income nation. We /nave substantial savings to invest each year . . . each week . . . each business day. The total amounts to 20 or 25 billion dollars a year. People can put their savings into government securities, a bank, a savings association, a life insurance company, etc. But they are not really investing them until they spend the money to buy a home, a factory or a farm. Americans once thought that bonds, especially government bonds, were the safest investment. But now that they have learned something about inflation, they do not want too many bonds. With inflation, the corporation stock market has gone up. But some stocks go down even while the general trend is upward. And no one knows when the stock market may begin a general decline. So investors do not want a full loa4p>of stocks either. Small private businesses are another possibility for investing savings. But most of them are unprofitable and are not recommended where security is important. Thus many people with savings to invest eventually look to farm land as a good place to put their money. It has been a much better investment than bonds and other fixed dollar securities. It is more profitable than most small nonfarm business. Its value is more dependable than that of corporation stocks. Farmers themselves are the biggest buyers of farm land. In the 12 months ended March 1, 1959, they bought more than three-fifths of all the farm land sold. Farmers buy aprfl ownTnost of the land in tKe less productive areas of rhe country. In the more productive areas, there are alwavs som? farmers who make considerably more than they need for living expenses. The excess is generally invested in equipment, livestock- and farm land- I..
