“In December, the weather
I man throws his whole book of
said Mr. Roaper. “We can expect
“And to add to tbe problem
we find more than hall the day ■
in either dusk or darkness in De-
cember. Putting all of these fac-
tors together, it doesn't make for
’ easy driving."
Mr. Roaper said the best all-
! round safety advice he could give
[motorists was "slow down— ad-
I just your speed to conditions.” But
he added these suggestions ror
motorists planning holiday trips:
I Plan your trip so that as;
| much of the driving as possible;
I will be accomplished during the
light hours of the day.
2. Postpone your trip entirely'
[ when the weather is particularly [
I rainy, snowy, or when sleet and
i hail are in the weather forecast. '
[ Be sure to consult a weather fore-
I cast for the area to which you're
driving.
3. Be certain your car is in ■
'tip-top mechanical condition be-
i fore attempting to take any sort
I of a trip
4. Use tire chains at all times!
when the road is covered with
j snow or ice.
5. Most important of all: Ad-
just your speed to conditions.
"Thousands of American homes
will be saddened by traffic deaths
at this time of year," Mr Roaper
continued. "Many of these traf-
I fic deaths need not occur—will
not occur—if every citizen is
। Texas gives some thought and
I effort to safe driving."
Fainting Termed
"Nature's Cure”
, Chicago- When you topple over
in a dead faint you may look
markedly pale and icy cold but
medically you're on the way to
recovery.
That's the encouraging para-
dox offered by Dr. Alfred Suffer
( New York City doctor who •
calls fainting "natures own
cure ' for illness.
And, Dr. Softer adds, the
“cure" works in moments if the
fainting victim is left alone and
lying flat on his back.
Nature does the rest and in-
sures recovery.
Writing in the current issue of
Todays Health, published in
Chicago by the American Medi-
cal Association, Dr. Softer ex-;
plained the "fainting cure" this
way:
Fainting occurs from a sur-
prising variety of causes -fright,
shame, drug reactions, standing
in one position too long Hike sol-
' diets on review), temperature sen-!
sitivity, pain and blood loss—
; which produce complex nerve im-
: pulses.
These nerve impulses tempo-
rarily widen the deep-seated
' blood vessels in the lower part [
■ of the body, channeling blood and j
oxygen away from the brain and
heart.
The victim blacks out, falls to
i the ground and, if he is left alone,
' rhe pooled up blood in the lower
portion of the body will flow back
to the vital upper regions natur-
lily.
"Forcing a fainting person to
it up will only prolong the un-
onscious state, and may initiate
reversible damage,” Dr. Softer
. ays.
“Research studies show that the
nost effective position in which
to place the fainting victim is
with his head and trunk tilted
' 1
of blood to the chest and head.”

Sylacauga. Ala \ meteorite
which struck an Alabama house
wife recently has become the
center ot a new legal contro-1
versy,
Mrs. Birdie Guy, from whom
Mr. u d Mrs. Hulitt Hodges rent
; their house, has hired attorneys
to get possessio of the nine-pound
fragment.
Hodges had hired an attorney
to get the rock back from the [
air force after it was seized fori
i closer examination, and the me- [
teorite was turned over to Hodges’ I
law yer in Washington last week.
However, Mrs Guy claims own-
ership of the rock. She says that
since it fell on her property, it:
belongs to her.
Mrs Hodges was hospitalized [
tor about five days after the
thing from outer space tore
through the roof of the house!
I and left her bruised. Scientists i
said this is the first authentic
case in which a human has even
been struck by a meteorite.
Hodges says he has received
offers exceeding $5,000 for the
rock.
"Even a thousand Christmas
presents would be no substitute
to your family for your pres-'
ence. For this reason. I urge,
everyone planning to take a mo-
tor trip this holiday season to
drive with extra care"
R. B. Roaper at Houston, pres-
ident of the Texas Safety Asso-
ciation. made that comment to-
day on the holiday Traffic Haz-
ards program being conducted by
The Texas Safety Association.
1 the Texas Department of Public
Safety, and the National Safety
। Council.
