6 Twelve the .ftfcHpryy pijundealer Thursday, August 18. ljjgO The Drivers Seat The Driver's Seat Some night when you're driving along a dark road, don't be startled if you see a huge head of Donald Duck, Popeye the Sailor or some other cartoon character gleaming out of the darkness ahead of you. It probably will be a nighttime safety device, which more and more trucking, companies are adopting for 'your benefit. Rear-end collisions at night have become a major problem for many trucking firms. Motorists. unable to see the size and bulk of trucks in the darkness, are often confused by truck taillights and follow too closely behind the huge vehicles. only to find themselves unable to stop in time when the truck ahead stops'or slows down. This is an increasingly common occurrence on highspeed tollways where drivers often fail to judge correctly the dislanee they need- for •stopping. Truckers have found, that reflective materials which in- « dicate the size and bulk of their bis: trucks and trailers are an aid to following drivers in estimating distance. Many of them have adopted reflective striping that spans the width of the rear of the truck. Other trucking firms have combined business with safety by using king-sized company names and trademarks in reflective materials lo identify their vehicles. Often these trademarks take the form of familiar cartoon characters. When a driver sees the huge head of his favorite cartoon character shining brightly out of the darkness in the beams of his headlights, he seems to become doubly alert and more able to detect the truck ahead and thus drive more carefully and avoid accidents. You'li be seeing more and more of these giant trademarks shining through the night on highways all over the country. When you see them, remember that trucking firms have adopted them to help you drive more safely at night. ALTER DEDUCTION OF EXPENSES FOR DEPENDENT PARENT EDITORIAL A MATTER OF RECORD Harold R. All.

It seems incredible that drivers continue to act as they do behind the wheel of an automobile despite the avalanche of grim facts and warnings. But it is a matter of record; record that is slightly over fifty years old yet already stands as one of the more sordid indictments against society. A recent report by a leading insurance company states that since the advent of the automobile. more than 62,000,000 men, woroon and children have been killed or injured on our highwavs. More Americans the laces in the flame of a lighted match.

"Too often they're ignoring traffic signs and signals, which are designed for their protection," Jack C, Trimble, head of j ^olves L^ff Sfi the National ~ ~ J . I n ' , . a r e c e n t c o l u m n , we talked about certain "do-iU yourself" projects that farmers were attempting as a costsaving measure, and which modern technology and science had offered some promise they could successfully do. We talked about one -- grain drying -- that just hasn't panned out and indicated another feed mixing -- might go ihe same ill-fated way. In considering on-the-farm mixing, the farmer usually asks one basic question: "Can I do it cheaper than the retail price I have to pay for commercial feed?" I Actually, there are many more considerations, two of which are most important: ( 1 ) W i l l t h e f a r m e r ' s f o r m u lation be as good as the commercial feed, which is manufactured under the most exacting conditions? ( 2 ) W i l l t h e f a r m o p e r a t o r ' have time to do this job him- ] self, or will he have the labor to do it in a manner in which , it must be done? •; With the many gain-boosting and medicated additives that I go into feed today, it is not too • complimentary to the scientific formulators to believe that a farmer could do this job as ; well. I Even if his operation cidents last year was on, human error! More than 85 percent of the 37.600 deaths occurred because somebody behind the wheel had shrugged off the countl e s s h i g h w a y s a f e t y n e w s stories and editorials this newspaper and hundreds of others like it across the country printed during the year. "It can't happen to me," he thought. Perhaps he didn't consciously think that. Maybe the fact that it could happen to him didn't get past his subconthoroughly. Q. How can I improvise some holders for hot corn-inthe cob? A. Save the winding keys from coffee cans and shortening tins, and use as handles when eating hot corn on the cob. If desired, the end of the key can be cut off to make two prongs for inserting into the cob. Q. How can I remove' machine grease from clothing? A.

A. Add a tablespoon of glycerin to each pint of jam. This makes the jam more transparent, and reduces the ; amount of sugar required. on the gas pedal, an unneces- j sary gamble to save a few seconds that cost an eternity -- these are the ways in which the human behind the wheel failed.

Wrap the butt-end* of the candle with a five-inch square of aluminum foil before inserting it into the holder. Safety Council's Signs of Life program, asserted today. Trimble emphasized that the sole purpose of traffic signs, signals, pavement m a r k i n gs and other devices is to state the law. to warn of hazards and to give assistance and protection to all street and highway users. He cited these facts: 1. One out of 10 drivers in a fatal traffic accident fails to keep to the right of the center line. 2. One out of 7 ignores stop or warning signs, passes improperly or does not have right-of-way. 3. Three out of 10 drivers in fatal traffic accidents exceed speed limits or safe speeds. Trimble urged motorists to learn the six basic traffic signs to prevent traffic accidents of all kinds: 1. Round . . . yellow with black "X" or "RR' means highw a y - r a i l r o a d i n t e r s e c t i o n ahead. . the tradihighway- rail white with in an in" premixinTvafwWtn and a commercially prepared mix, the possibility of turning out a lower quality feed seems most real. So the actual cost to the feeder is not just the direct costs of mixing his feed,. but the performance of h i s livestock -- in other words, the cost of getting livestock to market weight. Too often, a farm operator in considering a cost-saving measure doesn't properly an countless news stories in this | ontcrhing newspaper during the coming i pjngS months describing what happened because the human behind the wheel mede a mistake.

Cut out the center of a plastic kitchen bowl cover and slip this over the shower head, and it will divert the spurting water into a mainstream. Q.

A good remedy is to sew T pieqe of stiff canvas underneath these recalcitrant corners -- which wili not only keep them down, but. will also help to prolong the life of the rug. Q. How can I weigh my baby, if I don't happen to have baby scales? A. Use your own bathroon scales for this. Step onto the scales while holding the baby, get off, put baby down, and step onto the scales again. The difference between the two weights it what baby weighs. Q.
