LABOR DAY
(Continued from page 1)
Texas highways will be as
safe as Texas drivers want
them to be. And what they
want will be reflected in the
way they drive.
“This Labor Day weekend
we are asking each driver
to cooperate in making Texas
highways safe by obeying the
traffic laws and by staying
alert while driving/*
Garrison suggested
several ways drivers can cut
down the holiday traffic death
toll:
1. Allow sufficient time
for travel.
2. Obey the traffic laws;
they are designed to facili-
tate smooth traffic flow and
to save lives.
3. Anticipate dangerous
situations. Don’t depend on
another driver to prevent an
accident—be prepared to do
it yourself.
4. Stay alert. Anything
that impairs your driving
skill or distracts your at-
tention while driving might
prove fatal.

saving a policy lapse.
A. Your explanation of the plan
is correct and it is also possible
that your policies do not include
it, though you had best check with
your agent or company office, as
a high percentage of policies now
include it. If you find your poli-
cies do not have this provision,
your company will probably add
it by rider if you ask them. It is
a valuable safeguard. While the
idea is 50 years old, it is only
in relatively recent years that it
has become widely used, but it is
now quite the vogue.

both the house and garden need not
be difficult if you follow these easy
tips.
If you have a new puppy, keep
him in a rugless room or in the
kitchen until he is house-broken.
When the puppy makes a mistake,
wipe it up with a rag and take the
rag to a spot you’ve selected in the
yard. Place the cloth there. Each
time the puppy repeats a mistake,
scold him and take him to the spot
you’ve selected. Take him to this
same spot in the morning, before
each play period, and after each
meal. The odor of the rag there will
give him the idea of using this spot.
Stay with him until he relieves
himself, then compliment and pet
him, and take him back to the
house.
Dogs tend to return to a spot they
used before because of the odor.
Therefore, it is important that you
discourage them from using shrubs,
trees, flowers, or building comers.
Just as odors tend to attract ani-
mals, so too can odors be used to
repel. The odor of nicotine sulphate
(Black Leaf 40) will keep your dog,
neighbors’ pets, rabbits and cats
away from your precious plants.
Mix two tablespoonfuls of Black
Leaf 40 in a gallon of water and ap-
ply every two weeks to possible pet
targets. Be sure to renew applica-
tion of the spray after every rain.
Evergreens and shrubs can be
protected by dipping three or four
pipe cleaners in Black Leaf 40, curl
