SLOW DOWN AT NIGHT
More than 50 percent of
all traffic deaths happen at
night, even though a lot
less driving is done at
night than during the day.
During an average year,
if there is such a thing as an
average year anymore, the
Texas Safety Association
estimates that the mileage
death rate is between two
and three times as great at
night as in daylight hours.
There are four reasons
fui1 this, that should be ap-
parent to everyone.
First* you can’t see a-<
well at night, and you must
see danger to avoid it.
In-the second place, too
many drivers try to main-
tain daytime speeds, yet
even the best headlights il-
luminate only a fraction of
daylight seeing distance.
A third reason is that
night driving is more likely
to result in fatigue, sleepi-
ness and dulled alertness.
Finally; nighrisTTKe time
for sociability which, all
too often, meArft driving
after drinking.
Figures, of the Texas Saf-
ety Association, support
these claims by revealing
that between sunset and
sunrise 63 percent of all ur-
ban traffic deaths occurred.
In rural area,a 54 percent
of the fatal accidents hap-
pened during the same pe-
riod . •

trusting In your common
sense. Drive right . . ; slow
down at night.
It doesn’t take brains or
skill to send an automobile
hurtling through a tunnel of
blackness. It does take
brains to soberly count the
hazards beyond the probing
finger of the headlight
beam, and skilj to be ready
for the emergency which
may loom out of the dark-
ness at-any moment.

EXPENSIVE FARM HELP
ADVISES SPECIALIST
COLLEGE STATION. —
Substituting a motor for
man power releases that
help for other jobs, cuts op-
erating expenses, gets the
work done faster and gen-
erally better, says W. S. Al-
len, extension agricultural
engineer.

CARD OF THANKS
I would like to express
my sincere thanks to all of
those who. sent me cards,
letters, flowers, and food,
and those who visited me,
as well as all other acts of
kindness extended me dur-
ing my recent accident. .
Mrs. Charlie Brunner
scarce in
many areas and expensive
4«—ad, airy—hrtrcrr- saving
practice that can beamed on
today’s farm or ranch is
worth considering, says the
specialist.
For example, he points
cut that a quarter-horse-
power motor can handle
any operation designed for
hand power with energy to
spare. A normal man at
hard work exerts about one-
tenth of a horsepower but a
motor can run the small ce-
ment mixer, grindstone, post
drill, pump and deliver the
water, run a small shop saw
or grind 40 pounds of feed
an hour.
Operating costs, accord-
ing to Allen, amount to only
a penny or two an hour—a
considerable saving when
compared with what it
would cost to perform the
same jobs by manpower.
Latest figures show that
about ,99 percent of all
Texas farms are now elec- [ -
-trifled, reports Allen and he J
believes that many agriciil- f
11 *♦*
tural production costs' can
be further reduced through
-the- utilization of more me-
tor power. »•
He suggests to farmers
and ranchmen that study be
given to the various jobs in-
volved in all operations
with the thought in mind of
letting motors help make
the operations more effi-
cient and less expensive.

caine the magic that made possible so wonder-
fully different a Ford. In the toughest on-the-
road tests ever given to a car, this ‘'Inner Ford" -
demonstrated that a '57 Ford rides you sweet
and low ... that it takes tliehumps without a
bobble, the curves without the pitch .. . and.
that in power, it "takes nothing from nobody!"
Nothing on wheels hurries, handles or holds
up like a Ford! \
