Hints Offered
For A Safer
Vacation
COLLEGE STATION.—Vaca-
tion motor travel Is big business
in the United States. Each year
more vacationers take to the
road, with the majority in pri-
vate cars and the average car
is driven 1,200 miles during the
vacation. As motor travel
booms, traffic accidents, especi-
ally In rural areas, also boom.
The Texas Farm and Ranch
Safety Committee offers a few
suggestions which they feel, if
followed, will take some of the
boom out of accidents. Give the
family car a thorough cheek-up
before starting and watch for
signs of trouble along the way.
’ton’t block vision, say the ex-
perts, by Improperly loading
the car. Good vision is a must
for safe driving.
Be prepared for emergencies.
A first aid kit, maps, permits,
identification, a flashlight and
a tool kit and maybe a few
spare parts should be carried
along.
With the driver rests much of
the responsibility for a safe
trip. His efficiency is greatly af-
fected by fatigue. Plan the trip,
urges the cofhmittee, to allow
rest stops during the day and a
good night’s sleep each night.
And don’t try to drive and see
the sights at the same time.
Ignorance of the law is only
an excuse. Most states use stan-
dard traffic sign shapes. They
are a constant guide to safe
driving; know and obey them.
Traffic will be a problem dur-
ing the vacation season in all
parts of the country. Just don’t
get in a hurry and don’t drive
faster than conditions justify,
says the committee. tee adapta-
ble and fit your driving to the
peculiarities and conditions that
exist in the areas through
which you may travel.
Finally, says the committee,
take safety with you. It will
bring you home in good shape
and you can look forward to
next year’s trip.
June Is Dairy Month. It is
sponsored by the dairy industry
and comes at the time of year
when milk and milk products
are at peak production, con-
sumers are reminded that dairy
products are among the most
economical as well as nutritious
foods. Drink that extra glass of
milk each day during Dairy
Month.

woman elected to the United
