Alexander 8on» Unlet* you appoint a Executive Vice President deputy, only you are entitled American Bankers Association to access. ,, Another alternative is a joint contract in which two or more individuals are co-lessees. With this arrange­ ment, if one person is out of town or incapacitated, some­ one else can enter the box if necessary. Loss need not stem from front-page burglaries. Fires, > floods, earthquakes and ex­ plosions can destroy the con­ tents of safe deposit boxes, too. Ask your insurance com­ pany about safe deposit box coverage under an extension of your homeowner's or renter's policy. Some offer special "customer's safekeep­ ing policies" specifically de­ signed to cover the contents of your safe deposit box. One final tip: remember when filing your tax return that a safe deposit box rental fee is tax deductible if an earning asset is stored in the box. A convenient and inexpen­ sive ounce of prevention for storing valuables can be found where you bank -- in a safe deposit box. For more than 100 years, banks have offered their vault facilities for safekeeping of their customers' property. To­ day, many people house their valuables in these vaults that furnish maximum safety and privacy. N But, before you raid your mattress, make sure you un­ derstand the service. While safe deposit boxes provide maximum safety, they are not foolproof, and you should take certain precautions. It is advisable that an ac­ curate and complete inven­ tory of each item in storage be kept in a separate plaCe. It should include important dates, serial numbers and even duplicate copies of ap­ propriate documents. Some banks prohibit cer­ tain items to be stored in the box -- such as securities, jewelry, and coin and stamp collections -- so, read the lease contract carefully. All banks restrict the storage of money. Safe deposit boxes are available at most banks in standard, sizes ranging from 2 x 5 x 24 inches to several cubic feet. Costs range from $5 per year for the smallest to more than $60 for the largest. Security is provided through a two-key system. You have one key and the bank has a different key. Both must be used to open two locks to gain access to your valuables. The contract agreement be­ tween you and the bank also provides the legal relationship for use of the safe deposit box. The bank's responsibil­ ity is to exercise proper dare in preventing access to the box by unauthorized per- FREE FUEL SAVER THERMOSTAT WHEN YOU BUY THE HONEYWELL ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER Sove up to 20% on your heating; pollen PARTICIPATE IN RIVER PROJECT - Three members of the Youth Conservation corps taking part in the Pica saw river improvement project find that tearing down a beaver dam downstream has lowered the water level several feet here.

And the result has been a lot of misconceptions about foods. But strictly speaking, everything is made up of chemicals. For example, a cup of coffee contains such chemical components as methanol, di­ methyl sulfide, acetone, bu- tanol and isoprene. The chemical name for the sugar we sprinkle on our breakfast cereal is sucrose. And sub­ stances such as beta-carotene, ascorbic acid and ferrous sul­ fate are more commonly known as Vitamin A, Vita­ min C and iron -- all essential nutrients for good health. It may be surprising that moat food additivea are every­ day things found" in the kitchen cupboard -- among them familiar spices and sea­ sonings such as cinnamon, nut­ meg, oregano and thyme. In fact, the two most commonly used commercial food addi­ tives are the two most often used at home -- salt and sugar. Even the water used for mix­ ing ingredients in prepared foods is considered an addi­ tive. Vitamins and minerals also are added to some foods to improve their nutritional value. An additive simply is an ingredient that does espec­ ial job in a food, either com­ mercially or at home, such as improve flavor, texture, ap­ pearance, quality or Safety. Lately, there has been con­ troversy about the safety of additives used for food preser­ vation. Food preservation is an important function of some additives. But there is nothing new about that. For thousands of years, people have used salt as a preservative. Today; no food additive can be used unless its safety is approved by the federal government. Even the amount that can be used must be ap­ proved. Scientists are con­ stantly reviewing the safety of additives. They are always looking for the smallest amount of the fewest sub­ stances to get the job done. Hie prudent use of addi­ tives has helped make our food supply wholesome, at­ tractive and tasty. Without them, we could not have the infinite Variety of foods, at all seasons of the year, that we now enjoy. And the cost of food would be higher be­ cause of spoilage and waste. In the United States, cases of illness caused by commer­ cially prepared foods are rare. When they do occur, they usually are due to mishan­ dling of the product after it leaves the manufacturer. Even with the built-in safeguards that additives provide in many foods we buy, we should take special care at home to assure that they are stored, pre­ pared and served properly.
