Business Planes Saving Millions WASHINGTON (INS) — America's fleet of business planes literally save millions of dollars for their operators every year. Planes, official publication of Aircraft Industries Association, says that a total of 31.600 planes owned by businesses throughout the nation, including fixed-base operators and flying schools, it is estimated that approximately 12,000 are used exclusively for flying on business trips by executives and essential business employes. These planes range in size from light single engine planes with a seating capacity of just two pas-, sengers to large airline-type aircraft seating more' than 20 passengers. Their speeds range from around 70 m.p.h. tor small planes to well over 200 m.p.h. tor some ot the larger ones. The average speed for the entire fleet is around 140 m.p.h. for a fleet-average passenger capacity is almost six. Studies show that the average plane used exclusively for business travel is operated an estimated 300 hours per year and in a 12 month period operates nearly 42.000 miles — four times the miles driven by most automobiles in a year. New York—There are SO percent more high scholo graduates in the U. S. than there were in 1940.

Homemaking Tips By Miss Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent With the tee and snow we’ve been having in Adams county, we urge' everyone to take special precautions against accidents around the home. Clearing steps and walks after a snow storm will help prevent unnecessary falls. During icy, sleety, weather, salt may be used to melt the ice. Sand and ashes may be sprinkled on the walks to provide traction. Outdoor strais which have three or more steps should have sturdy handrails, securely fastened. Icicles which overhang walks are another hazard and shpuld be removed. If a ladder is .used for this task, it should be placed in such away that it will not slip at the base. MeTthhg. snow on a porch roof should be carried away in a metal gutter instead of being allowed to drip on the steps to freeze. Highways also are dangerous during this time of year, so drive carefully. How Dry? " _ ; ■ DETROIT (INS) -— How dry is a “dry state?"
