Theie may be a little more ire on the river come Obituary Mrs. Alice M. Shipley Funeral services were held at Caldwell-Linder Chapel here Dec. 27 for Mrs. Alice M. Shipley of Murray who died Dec. 22 of a heart attack. Mrs. Shipley was born June 17, 1885, at Piattsmouth; daughter of the late Deurey and Rye Graves, pioneers of this com munity. She was married July 7, 1917, at Glenwood, Iowa, to Wm. E. Shipley. The early part of their married life was spent In Sarpy County where they farmed near Fort Crook. Later, they bought a farm northwest of Plattsmouth and farmed several years. Two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Shipley retired from the farm and moved to Murray. There she died suddenly Dec. 22, at her home at 76. She is survived by her hus band, Wm. E. Shipley at Mur ray; brother, Jack C. Graves, Bellevue; sister, Mrs. Lillian Tangeman, Omaha; half broth er, Alts Homan of Omaha and several nieces and nephews.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT Walking in the rain may.be something :t0 sing about, but driving in the rain presents many dangers. First there is the problem of limited visibility. Often you can see only a few yards ahead, and other drivers and pedestrians have trouble seeing you. The danger is compounded by wet pavements It is difficult to stop suddenly without skidding. If you have, to stop quicxiy. pump your brakes as you would on ice. Another rain problem is the danger of shorting out the engine, which has little protec tion from water if you hit a pud dle at more than 50 miles-per- hour. It is a good idea to carry rags In your trunk so you can wipe off your distributor and plugs should they get thorough ly soaked. Cars approaching at hign speeds may drench your wind shield and make it impossible for you to see. Anticipate the possibility and slow down as fast-moving cars come at you. It is also wise to keep your left window closed to keep spray from a passing car out of your eyes. Because the shoulders of a highway become muddy in a heavy rainfall, you may be in trouble if you happen to drift off a hard road. Once a tire sinks into the mud of the shoulder, it may cause your car to slue. Windshield wiper blades should always be in tip-top condition. A downpour is no time for the rubber to fly off or the wipers to stick. Have them checked regularly with your tires and oil. Driving in the rain Is danger ous, so use extreme caution. And if it's coming down "cats and dogs," the best procedure is to stop driving until you can see where you're going. Sitting out a downpour makes more sense than sitting, soaked alongside a wrecked car. A. Whitney Griswold, President of Yale University: "The family has become too scared of its children; the child ren too insecure in their remote ness from their parents; and the church too much of a social wel fare organization . . ."
