Failure To Yield ' Failure to yield right-of-way was the leading cause of traffic crashes in 1966. * states the latest issue of the Indiana Traffic Crash Facts, released this month by the office of traffic safety. Failure to stop for stop signs. traffic signals and yield signs when necessary, pi upon entering a roadway from an alley or private drive are named. In 1966 there were 1,566 traffic deaths in the state. 71.929 persons injured with the death rate at s.7o—the national average was 5.73 deaths per 100 million miles of motor vehicle travel, The costs in Indiana last year were $292 million. Costs included wage loss, medical expense, overhead cost of insurance and total property damage. Hoosier motorists traveled 27.46 billion miles. Last year 21.1 per cent of the acci-. dents were caused by persons not giving $ An American Institution Every month Americans celebrate something different. Ihis month, with the Ith of July and summer in full swing, has been devoted to that old American institution— the “hot dog". “Hot dogs" or frankfurters or wieners, which ever, are something that belongs to Americans. It is one of the memories most visitors to this country take home with them—their first taste o! a hot dog. Most visitors become adicted after their first "hot dog". What’s a ball game or a day at the jvirk without at least two'or three of the tasty treats? Really, they aren’t treats Burglary Taking Toll Burglarv is beginning to take a sharp toll on the homeowner, break-ins are hapjxming at an ever increasing rate. One insurance company has cited a rei»«>rt wlrich says that residential burglaries have risen from 13 per cent of the total in 1962 to 49.5 per cent in 1965. The reason: businesses have started to take protective measures while homeowners are becoming more careless. Stolen property value in each home burglarv averages $26:1 as compared to $227 in the average commercial burglary. Why? Again we see the careless homeowner and because there are several Grass Roots Opinion ALTOONA. PA..

Are we in such a hurry that we can’t stop for a minute to look both ways before proceeding on? If we are. then it’s time to slow down before we injure someone seriously or are killed by our own carelessness. . Remember —it only takes a minute to yield the right-of-way. That minute could save your life or the life of a loved one. any longer but they do taste better at the park. Housewives have found they are versatile and use them weekly in planning the family menu. While Webster lists a frankfurter as a ■’.-.easoned beef or’beef and pork linked and smoked in casing or skinless," he isn’t quite so formal when it comes to “hot dogs" which he states are “cooked frankfurters served in long split rolls and garnished with mustard, onions or other savory substance." Well, “hot dog", frankfurter or wiener — they are an American Institution and we like them. How about you? portable items of value in the American .home of today. . Many persons still leave town with their homes unlocked and windows up, inviting trouble. An open garage, showing no car at home, broadcasts that no one is in the house; milk and paper deliveries that have not been stopped also shout an invitation to the would-be thief. Some persons don’t even bother to tell the nextdoor neighbor that they’re going to be out of town when leaving on vacation. The next time you leave on q vacation, rememlier to protect yourself against a burglary—you might be glad you did! terms of a treaty, we also oppose the advance of communism . . . Unless someone stops it . . . the U. S. will be the last bastion of the free world, isolated in global communism, with the alternative of surrender—or fight the last great battle.’
