World War II veterans among the Elks decided they would sponsor enough tmODS to take care of the other 300.000 lads. "We used to be boys ourselves." said Br. Niflot. suppressing an our-h as he sat down. "So we thought it would be a fine idea great for the kids and great ,for 1 us. since we would be working with the new feneration, and maybe a little youth would rub off on us. "So far I've been rubbing on liniment."

SMALLEY 91 killed 3J50 injured! If that were the report of an explosion, wreck or other disaster, it would be front page news. People would be hor rified! But worse it's just one day's automobile casualty list in the United States. It happens every day, week in, week out. Four deaths, 131 injured every hour. At year's end 33,500 lives snuffed out, over a million injured or maimed for life. That's what happened last year. This year's record threatens to be even higher. Speed reckless, wanton speed drunken driving defiance of safety rules and regulations and careless, jaywalking pedestrians, top the list of causes for this grim toll. What can you do about it? Will the speeding wheels of your car add one death to this mass murder of the highways? Not if you, the driver and you, the pedestrian take your individual responsibili ties seriously. Drive carefully at all times, under all conditions, and be alert when walking. Don't be one of the thousands to kill, or be lulled. Drive safely and live!
