STAR POLICE “TRYING OUt” SAFETY BELTS Indianapolis, Oct. 16 (Experimental use of automobile safety belts, being carried out by Indiana State Police troopers as part' of a department motor vehicle crash injury research project shows the device can help reduce deaths and injuries among motorists. i The belt, troopers say. holds them in their seats on curves an<t rough roads and prevents them from being thrown from the car,” They point out the belt gives them a sense of security, permitting them to relax and ease the strain of long hours of driving. Preliminary results of the state police study have indicated that a substantial number of the state’s traffic casualties are killed or injured ;by being hurled against the windshield, instrument panel or other interior projections in an automobile. Others are spewed out onto the pavement by the impact. A waist belt, according to an article in the current issue of The SHIELD, State Police magazine, encircles the driver or front seat passenger and is anchored' to bolts placed in the floor just behind the front seat. Addition of a shoulder belt, which is fastened to the waist belt and then adjusted diagonally over the user’s shoulder, provides full protection by preventing the motorist from being - thrown forward if a collision occurs. A simple locking device permits auick exit from the belt. And the troopers have a reassurng word for the ladies: the beJJs do not cause undue wrinkling of dainty frocks.

POLICE WARN AGAINST STARTING HALLOWEEN PRANKS TOO EARLY The local police in issuing a warning to pranksters, remind parents that it is far to early to begin Halloween tricks now. Children caught soaping windows, wedging car horns and letting afe out of tires, etc., will be punished for their acts. Parents are asked to talk to their children and try to make them understand that a tricky committed on Halloween may 'be alright, now it may be regarded as malicious. The wedging of car horns with a stick, so that the horn continues to blow, is not funny to the owner, especially if it means the buying of anew battery. Likewise letting air out of tires may cost the owner anew tire. Car owners are urged to discourage the practice by keeping cars locked and to report youngsters seen trying to get into parked cars.

SOME FACTS ' The per capita public debt of the U. S. shows a false economy for no individual or nation can continue to thrive if debt is too heavy. For comparison lets look at the record, remembering figures are. per capita debt on each date: Dec. 31, 1896 $ 17.07 Dec. 31, 1912 ..., 13.92 Dec. 31, 1920 222.92 Dec. 31, 1932 166.10 Aug. 31, 1952 .... 1,673.42 Prosperity can no more be purchased than can friendship so remember this when you hear some of‘those wonderful political speeches now so numerous throughout this country.
