Renews Appeal For Stale Speed Limit Safety Committee Head Makes Appeal Gary, Ind . Nov. I—(UP)— An appeal for a state speed limit of GO miles per hour was renewed today by the head of the Indiana traffic safety committee. James Mohr, director of the committee. told the Indiana sheriffs’ association at its annuil convention that the limit was needed to reduce the traffic death toll. Mohr .«aid the major objective of his committee was enactment of a speed law by the next legislature. "Indiana needs an over-all state ; speed law of <0 miles per hour," Mohr said. "Too much speed on the highways is the major cause of accidents.” Mohr said speed was largely re- ’ sponsible for one-car accidents which increased by 36 percent in 194 b. In that type of accident, 373 persons were killed in Indiana last year, he said. Earlier, secretary of state Charles F Fleming strongly criticized drunken driving which he blamed for many Hoosier highway fatalities. "With two months yet to go in ■ 1949, this type of driver is going to establish a grand and glorious new iecord of killing’people.” Fleming said. “We shall use every law at our command to stop this murder. Alcohol and pawline do not mix and death rides with the drunken driv er." Fleming said he hoped c.meday that there woul 1 be a mandatory 12-mcnth license revocation for any person convicted twice in a year on diunk driving chirg- .

Frozen Pipes and deters If pipes are frozen they may be thawed in some cases by wrapping cloths around them and |x>ur>ng hot water on. 11 there is a bad case of frozen pipes or if a house is to be closed for the winter it is best to secure the services of a competent plumber. Do not pour hot water on the meter. Do not build a fire on the meter as it will ruin the rubbi r piston and celluloid register.
