THE HUMBLE ECHO
PAGE THREE
One of the nicest, look-
forward-to times in your
children’s childhood is va-
cation trip time. The ex-
citement that takes hold
of your household is some-
times nothing short of fan-
tastic. Whether you are
planning a fabulous plane
trij3 to Hawaii or a camp-
ing trip to a State park,
the kids don’t care. Just
toObe going in the first
place is all they want.
- Most of our vacations
FEMININE
FANTASY
By KATHERINE TRIGG
were plain old American,
going in the car, packed
to the gills, togetherness
type vacations. We have
camped out, stayed in mo-
tels and hotels, visited the
Alamo and nearly every
other point of interest in
Texas and the Gulf Coast.
We have been automobiling
complete with kids and
camp stoves for nearly 15
years now so I feel I am
somewhat of an authority on
car packing, unpacking ,

loading, unloading, and why
do you always end up with
more stuff coming back
than you had going?
Now after all these years
we have devised a scienti-
fic car loading plan that
should help get you newer
family vacationers on the
road.
You begin by assembling
all necessary equipment .
This will no doubt include
the family dog or cat. You
will need to set aside half
a day to explain to the chil-
dren why Rover would be
better off not going along
on this vacation. (Although
at times we have weak-
ened and taken a dog!) After
your absolutely necessary
and essential gear is ac-
cumulated in one place,
issue an ultimatium stat-
ing that each member of
the vacation team must take
10 things back from the pile
and return it to its right-
ful place in the home.
This announcement will
be met with howls, tears
and footstampings. Do not
give in at this crucial time;
if you do, next vacation
you will need a four wheel
trailer to haul the “es-
sentials” and the next year
it will be a bus or van.
Finally, when you have
what you consider a rea
sonable amount of equip
ment, begin to pack the
car. Start with the water
cooler and things you will
need first. Pack them on the
bottom, as you are going
to have to repack the car
over again anyhow, and
then they will be on the
top. You can begin to see
how simple this system
really is.
The morning comes when
all is finally packed, bolt-
ed, tied down and the car
doors jammed shut. Al-
ways plan two take-offs.
It is an unwritten, under-
stood fact that the lunch will
have been forgotten, the
light in the bathroom left
on and the back door left
unlocked.
After your second suc-
cessful orbit out of the
driveway, settle back. Its
going to be a long day.
The little ones will be quiet
for the first 100 miles.
They are so busy in the back
seat eating up the lunch that
they don’t have time to
talk. Plan to stop at a
restaurant for lunch any-
how. The next 300 miles
will be a little different.
Games will have to be de-
vised, brows will have to
be mopped, filling station
comfort stations will have
to be visited numerously,
cokes will be spilled,
squabbles will have to be
settled.
I hope you will enjoy
your trip. When your chil-
dren get older and you don’t
make these auto trip vaca-
tions anymore, you will
look back with fond memo-
ries. I must tell you in all
honesty, however, that I am
kind of glad to be “look-
ing back/’ My vacation this
year is being spent in the
nice comfort of my air-
conditioned home and the
only thing I am packing in
my car is my golf clubs
for the seven-mile trip to
the golf course.

the Porter Volunteer Fire
Dept, will hold a rummage
sale Saturday, August 3,

the ladies have donated
$800 towards the slab and
roof of the new fire station

men.
The $54 which was made
from last Saturday’s bake
sale sponsored by the Aux-
iliary was also turned over
to the firemen.
A cookbook is being com-
piled by the ladies and they
have asked that anyone in-
terested in having their fa-
vorite recipe appear in the
book along with their name
and town to send them to
P.O. Box 107, Porter.

dertake so difficult a task
when he was so obviously
ill-equipped to handle it?
There is no firm answer
to the question. The inci-
dent is just one of thousands
which kill and maim and
cripple people throughout
Texas and the rest of the
nation each year. Acci-
dents as of this moment,
stand as the fourth leading
cause of death among all
age groups in Texas and the
United States as a whole.
Even more grim is the
fact that of the 5,655 acci-
dental deaths of all types
registered in Texas last
year, one-fourth occurred
in the most cherished of
all places—the victim’s
home.
Thorough studies into the
nature of accidents show
that very few happen by
pure chance. They occur
because a stairway was im-
properly lighted...because
an electrical circuit was
overloaded ...because a
threshhold strip wasn’t
tacked down tight...because
the rung of a ladder was
loose...because an insecti-
cide was carelessly stored
...because someone was
smoking in bed...because of
an endless variety of hu-
man failings.
The National Safety
Council defines accident
statistics as ‘ a single hu-
man tragedy multiplies to
the point of indifference. ’
The definition is an apt one,
since accidents have be-
come commonplace in the
pattern of modern life.
Children and older
people are most suscep-
tible. Current national sta-
tistics show that 15,000
children are killed and 16,-
500,000 are injured each
year. Persons 65 years old
and over compose nine per-
cent of the population; yet
this age group experiences
74 percent of all fatal falls
and 28 percent of all deaths
from fire and explosion.
There is no reason to
believe the pattern of fatal
home accidents this year
will vary greatly from the
1962 pattern when 1384
Texans met untimely death
thusly:
Fires and explosions
killed 423; falls from dif-
ferent levels killed 310; 180
died of falls from the same
level; 83 were accidentally
shot; 79 suffocated; 54 were
poisoned by solids or li-
quids; 43 were poisoned by
gases or vapors; 18 were
burned to death by hot sub-
stances; and 194 died from
accidents of an unspecified
nature.
These figures can only
be altered by massive
demonstrations of public
caution, stimulated by
carefully organized, con-
tinuous programs of home
safety in which the whole
community is involved.
