James Whitcomb Riley set
strawberries to poetry when he
said it’s “about knee-deep in
June” when the "strawberries
melt on the vine.” We say it’s
high time to set some of those de-
licious summer berries down into a
good treat for melting in the
mouth.
After removing the stems and
cutting away any blemishes on
Strawberries, slice them down the
middle and place in a large bowl,
sprinkling heavily with sugar.
Cover and store in the refrigera-
tor until the sweetness of the dis-
solving sugar has been absorbed
into the berries, and strawberry
juice has formed. The berries are
now ready to use in one of the
following recipes:

~f DEAR, WE'VE BEEN MARRIED
TEN YEARS NOW. . I THINK WE
SHOULD HAVE A CLEARER
UNDERSTANDING OP OUR
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS*. r?T WHAT
Vacation time is here. Soon mil-
lions of people will be driving
about the country, and automobile
accidents will occur with increas-
ing frequency. What should a per
son do when involved in an acci-
dent?
At such times it is hard to keep
your wits about you and know just
what to do. It is therefore a good
idea to plan in advance just what
you would do in event of a smash-
up. Here are a few simple rules
that every driver should commit to
memory:
1. Stop- Failure to stop can re-
sult in serious criminal conse-
quences.
•2. Render Aid. If anyone is in-
jured: (1) Render first aid. (2)
Stop bleeding. (3) Call a doctor or
an ambulance or both. (4) Do not
move an injured person in any way
that could possibly add to his in-
jury.
3. Protect the Scene from Fur-
ther Damage. You may be liable
for damages to approaching driv-
ers, unless they are properly warn-
ed. If the highway is obstructed
at night, have someone turn his
headlight beams on the wrecked
vehicles.
4. Call an Officer. Policemen,
Highway Patrolmen, Sheriffs and
their deputies are trained accident
investigators whose testimony may
be invaluable in establishing your
civic claim for damages.
5. Gather Information . . . Write
it Down. Don’t trust your memory.
Don’t guess—be specific. Measure
skid marks. Step off distances. Be
sure to obtain names and addres-
ses of witnesses. You are required
by law to exhibit your driver’s
license to the other driver — and
he must do the same.
6. Be Careful What you Say.
Even if you feel you probably
are to blame, it is best to make
no admission. You may learn later
that the other driver was equally
at fault, or more so. Emotional
comments can be misconstrued by
others, or may be misquoted.
Whatever you say, make it fac-
tual. w j
7. See Your Doctor if there is
the slightest chance you may be
injured. Serious injuries do not
always result in immediate pain
or bloodshed.
8. Consult Your Lawyer Immedi-
ately .v The sooner your lawyer is
brought into the matter, the bet-
ter he can advise you and pro-
tect your rights. He can obtain
statements from the witnesses
while their memories are fresh,
and do many other things to irir
sure that the true facts are pre-
served. Get your lawyer's advice
before giving any interviews of
statements to investigators or ad-
justers for the other side.
9. Inform Your Insurance Com-
pany Promptly. Failure to do so
may void your policy.
10. Report the Accident to the
Department of Public Safety. This
is required by law if there is any
injury or death, or if total dam-
ages exceed $25.00.
An Official accident report form
may be procured from the Police
Sheriff’s Dept., Highway Patrol,
or State Dept, of Public Safety
(This newsfeature, prepared by torney who is fully advised con-
the State Bar of Texas, is written ceming the facts involved, be-
to inform—not to advise. No per- cause a slight variance in facts
son should ever apply or interpret may change the application of the
any law without the aid of an at- law.)

Driver's Seat
The “good old days” are a time
that a lot of people talk about af-
fectionately, but almost no one,
when pinned down on the point, ac-
tually would like to relive those
days.
However, two Illinois couples
are going to do more than talk
about those “good old days.” Mr.
and Mrs. Ronald Patzer of Ba-
tavia and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry
Zehner of Maywood plan to bring
back memories by driving 2,500
miles from Miami to Minneapolis
in two 1914 Model T Fords.
The tour, sponsored by The Pure
Oil Company in connection with
its 50th anniversary, will begin
April 13 and end May 11. It will
wind through eight states.
Dressed in 1914 clothes, the cou-
ples will show that, despite ad-
verse conditions, such as bad
roads and the limitations of the
cars, traveling was fun even in
those days. They’ll recreate some
of the motoring activities of the
1914 era—picnicking on the side
of the road, stopping at farm
houses, pumping up flat tires, and
the like.
Although part of the reason
for the tour is to focus attention
on the 50th anniversary of The
Pure Oil Company, one of the
major oil companies, another aim
is to emphasize the great strides
that have been made on the high-
ways and the automobiles.
Considering that the ‘‘good old
days” included driving on roads
made of gravel, rough planks,
sawdust, straw, brick, sand clay,
or just plain old dirt, despite the
efforts of the two Illinois couples,
most drivers undoubtedly would
want to confine the “good old
days” to talking about them.

SOMETHING TO SAY
Rupert Brooke, the brilliant
young English poet, died as a na-
val officer on the Isle of Skyros
in the Aegean Sea during the first
World War. He was one of the
costly casualties of that madness.
On hearing the news of his death,
Edward Marsh, one of Brooke’s
closest friends, went to visit the
poet’s mother, who took him up-
stairs and there showed him the
pathetic boxes of her son’s belong-
ings which had now been shipped,
home.
She broke down as she looked
them again. Recalling the
scene later, Marsh wrote: ‘‘I have
never seen such suffering. It was
very terrible, as of course there
was nothing I could say.”
“Nothing I could say.” These
words suggest a tragedy greater
than that of the death of the bril-
liant poet. Here was the heir of
nineteen centuries of Christian his-
tory who had nothing to say to a
mother in such a strait.
Christians are people who have
something to say in the midst of
the worlds tragedy, suffering and
death. We may not have all the
answers we would like to have,
but we have a message that en-
ables us to go forward with vic-
tory and assurance despite the
limits of our understanding. This
we could say to that broken-heart-
ed mother:
“We are not promised that we
shall escape tragedy, but we are
promised that God is with us and
will be always. ‘If God be for us,
who can be against us?’ We are
promised that nothing can separ-
ate us from the love of God. We
know that Love is stronger than
Death.* We know that God and the
soul are eternal. We know that
the God who made us and loves
us and sent Christ to redeem us
takes us at last to Himself. With
these great convictions we are lift-
ed above fear and doubt to faith
and hope and trust—and we say:
‘Thanks be to God who gives us
the victory’.” (I Cor. 15:57).
Many people make their trips
healthy successes by including
in their suitcases a few precau-
tions against discomfort and mi-
nor illnesses: motion sickness
pills, Ex-lax, aspirin, and a sun-
burn remedy.
Back in 1914, a visionary pro-
phet of the auto age went way
out on a limb and predicted that
the U. S. would have two million
miles of improved highways by the
year 2114. Today, just 50 years
later, there are 3,573,000 miles of
roads in the nation.
