A Typical Fatality Recent facts released by the Indiana office of traffic safety shown that from June through August the traffic death rate zooms upward at an alarming rate. So far, we in Adams county have been fortunate. The bulk of the summer driving is still to be done, though, and we hope to make it through this danger season unscathed. If you are a typical Indiana traffic fatality, here are your essentials: As already stated, you are more likely to be killed near the first of August than at any other time of the year. Odds are to 1 that the accident that takes your life will occur in the country, instead of in city traffic. The accident will occur around six in the evening, with Saturday being the most likely day for it. The majority of fatalities involved ■■■■* lived Within 2ff the crash; **fifae average fatality is male, between 25 L „ .5 in all accidents the major contributing factor is failure to yield the right of way, the main cause of fatalities is excessive speed. You will be driving a pleasure car, on dry pavement and a straight road, and away from an intersection. You will be missed by your many friends and your family. These are not pleasant statistics. Nor are traffic accidents or fatalities pleasant. But one of the interesting things about all these statistics is the fact that the “average” fatality occurs under almost perfect driving conditions. The road is straight and dry. It is still light out, and in the summer particularly, there is full daylight. Being August, the temperature would be sufficient to prevent any windshield fogging. A presumably healthy, reasonably young man is at the wheel. He is within twenty-five miles of his home, so the road should be familiar. In a matter of seconds he is dead. This is the typical Indiana fatality. Not all of the accidents will be like this. The biggest contributor to 'traflc accidents has nothing to do with statistics, but ... with common sense. So, no matter where you drive this summer, no matter what time of day, and regardless of the road conditions, if you stay alert and courteous, you have a pretty good chance of staying alive. If you get drowzy, care- _ • less or mad, again conditions not withstanding, it has ; been nice knowing you.

Two Air Racers Die In Crash Al Baer Field FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPD — Two tiny racing planes crashed here Monday during the fourth annual midget championship air races when the wing of one plane apparently came off and struck the other during a sharp turn. Both pilots were killed. They were identified as James L. TUce, about 35, airport manager at Van Wert, Ohio, and an Air Force veteran of the Korean War, and Charles Bishop. 35, Nashville, Tenn. —— The two planes had just taken off for the six-plane consolation event and had gone into the first turn around the southwest pylon. Howard Hutches of Orlando, Fla., who was flying with Paul Booth, Nashville, Tenn., a friend of Bishop, in formation just astern of the victims, said the right wing on Rice's plane came off and hit. Bishop’s plane which was directly below him in the turn. Bishop s plane disintegrated in the air, and the wreckage crashed in a cornfield about 500 yards from a farm house and burst into flames. Bishop's racing helmet was found in the farm's barnsouth at ot’d’diue*." a ' Garland Pack, co-owner of the Bishop he bettered ’ih'e ' pyKh-W knocked its wing off. The homemade midgets, with a wing span of about eight feet, hit speeds of more than 200 miles an hour. The races at Baer Field were part of an almost day-long Fourth of July air show which earlier had featured the Navy’s Blue Angels precision jet flying team, The planes went into their fatal dives far from a crowd of thousands of spectators and plunged to the ground so fast that it was difficult to see what happened. But: one spectator said Bishop's plane flew apart in the air like a matchbox.” Production Records By Three Holsteins Three registered Holstein cows from Adams county herds have completed outstanding official production records, according to the Holstein - Friesian association of America.

Russia Not To Resume Talks On Disarming LONDON" (UPI) — Communist diplomats said here today that the Soviet Union has “no desire and no intention" to return to the 10nation disarmament negotiations which it torpedoed a week ago. The Red diplomats said Russia will press its plan to take the disarmament issue to the United Nations General Assembly in the fall before contemplating new direct negotiations with the West. The Western powers have appealed to Moscow to resume talks for a global, phased and controlled East-West arms cut program. But the sources said there was no chance of Russia’s “rushing” into a new series of 10-power negotiations from which it withdrew last week without listening to the new Western disarmament proposals. The Soviet plan is to enlist as much support as possible from the U.N. for its demand for Western agreement to total disarmament before effective controls are worked out. The Kremlin was understood to be planning a new resolution for the General Assembly in favor of a fresh sweeping formula on complete disarmament. ***-... Only then apparently would Russia consider to resume full dress disarmament negotiations with the West. Moscow also was expected to insist on bringing India and Red China into any new arms negotiations. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Italy —t the five Western members of the 10-; nation Geneva conference—in the past few days .have sent separate notes to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev sharply criticizing Russia's walk out. Between Shampoos A stiff hair brush inside of an | old, discarded nylon stocking does | a fine job of polishing your hair' between shampoos.

Democrat Platform Committee Meets ■ LOS ANGELES’ (UPD—The cochairman of the Democratic Platform Committee agreed today with Sen. John F. Kennedy’s prediction that the party will take a “more precise" stand on civil rights this year. Former Solicitor General Philip B. Perlman, who will preside at the opening of pre-convention hearings by the 108-member committee today, told newsmen the civil rights “situation , has changed a whole lot since 1(956.” Perlman explained that Congress has passed two civil rights bills since the last Democratic convention four years ago but, these were confined largely to voting guarantees. Many Other Problems “There are a lot of other problems connected with civil rights that have not yet been the subjects of legislation,” Perlman said. “There are many —- and I am not speaking for the committee — but there are many people disappointed that Congress has confined its bills to this one phase, voting.” Perlman said the civil rights issue, source of past convention battles between Northern and Southern delegates, again would be the most controversial platform item. And he said he would expect minority reports from the committee, composed of two delegates from each state, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. « Agrees With Kennedy But he said he agreed with Kennedy’s answer at a news conference Monday when the candidate for the presidential nomination was asked if he wanted a stronger civil rights plank than the one adopted in 1956. Kennedy said: “I think times have changed since 1956. I think the language will be different. I think it will be clearer, more precise and it will affirm more strongly the right of every American to have an equal opportunity to develop his talents.” Morgano's Trial Set For July 18 KENTLAND, Ind. (UPD — Reputed syndicate figure Tommy Morgano will be tried July 18 on charges he tried to bribe a Porter County deputy sheriff. Special Judge Russell Gordon ruled in White Circuit Cpurt Saturday. Morgano’s trial will be held in Newton Circuit Court here.i

Seven Are Dead In Wisconsin Crash
SPRING GREEN, Wis. (UPD— Wis. 23 is not much of a road. Still it does have its pretty parts. One of them is a sevenmile stretch, two lanes wide, that runs along a slight ridge between the Sauk County towns of Spring Green and Plain. Last Saturday that part of 23 lost its charm, for it was the site of an accident that was the wors of he nation’s Fourth of July weekend driving disasters in which more than 400 persons were killed. The crash wiped out seven of ttye eight members of the Richard A. Meister family of Beloit, Wis. Only Mother Survives The only survivor of what was to have been a holiday jaunt “to grandma’s” is a slim, 29-year-old childless widow. At the start of the slightly more than 100-mile journey Loraine Meister had been a wife and mother of six children. / Killed instantly in the crash were the famer, Richard, 29, and five of the children, Karen k 8; Robert, 7; Brian, 4; Colleen, 3; and Danny, 1. Kathryn, who was 9. survived only tong enough to make the trip to the Reedsburg Memorial Hospital with her mother, who is still a patient there. Loraine has talked only briefly since the crash, but she told her sister, Mrs. James Rinehart of Richland Center, she vividly remembers it. She was sitting in front with Danny, Mrs. Rinehart said, “holding him on her lap and playing with him. The other, kids were in back. They were almost to grandma’s—then there was the

trailer in front of them. “She can’t go beyond that. She’s hardly able to talk at all. She doesn’t ask for anyone—-she just talks about the children. She realizes thay are gone.” 2 Horses in Trailer The trailer was a tyvo-wheeled horse van. For some reason ft snapped its hitch at the back of the Cadillac drivep by Stanley J. Mannino, 28, South Beloit, 111., a town just across the state line from the Wisconsin community where the Meisters lived. The trailer contained two horses. It tilted back and followed in the path of Mannino's auto as- the Meister car approached in the opposite direction. Then it swung across the centerline, tongue first, and struck the 1954 Oldsmobile sedan head-one. The tongue shot through the left headlight of the Meisters' auto and shoved on into the passenger compartment and out through the roof, laying open the whole car. The weight of the trailer knocked the car off the road and sent it tumbling 14 feet down the grade that hugs the blacktop surface. Driver Held For Three Violations Dwight Lee Edgell, 22, route 3, was arrested on three counts .Monday at 3:30 a m. on West Monroe street. Edgell was arrested- for reckless driving, public intoxication. and driving while under the influence of alcohol. He is currently in the Adams county jail I and no date for, trial has been set.
