A Driving Force
Women drivers endure considerable criticism from their male counterparts. Much of this adverse commentary is unfair and stems from a tendency to generalize. The following article presents a more accurate picture of the woman driver and explains why, in many instances, she may be a better driver than her critics. When we speak of modern woman as a “driving force,” we are not just philosophizing about “the power behind the throne.” Women are a driving force in the most literal sense. In Indiana there are nearly 1.2 million licensed women drivers. Women represent more than 40 per cent of the driving public in the country. They are a force to be reckoned with by designers of new model cars—exerting a two-fold pressure because they not only select their own car, but have a big say in the choice of the family car. Women pupils outnumber men in driving school. Disparity also will in-
Children And Poison ...
We call your attention to the fact that many young children today are dying or becoming seriously ill because they swallowed one type of poison or another. During national poison prevention week, March 17-23, an attempt will be made to acquaint persons with many of the estimated 250,000 products available which may be harmful when ingested or swallowed—depending on the amount consumed. The inclination of a child progressing from infancy to age five is to explore his environment. This is a natural tendency. Exploration involves seeing, reaching and tasting. Children have learned from their very beginnings—mother’s breast, baby bottle—that they can achieve a gratification by placing things in their mouths. Until they become o’d enough to differentiate between edibles and non-edibles, and learn to protect themselves, their environ-
Court News Pence To Be Sentenced On March 20 ■A South Whitley area man, Willard Pence, 73, will appear in circuit court at Warsaw on March 20 to answer to a charge of simple assault and battery. Pence changed his plea of not guilty with 'intent to kill to the lesser plea at Warsaw last week. The change of the plea was made Wednesday before a jury during his trial. This was the result of Pence being charged in connection with the wounding of Roger Dean Caudill, 17, Claypool, last June 4, after a shooting incitdent at his farm one and one half miles east of Sidney. The shooting cost Caudill the sight of one eye. The shooting occurred when Pence opened fire on Caudill and a companion, Levi England, whom he found taking gasoline from his tank on his farm. Reportedly they had taken gas on i and Social Security Q—ls it true that medicare premiums will be higher this year? A—Yes, the premiums will be raised to $4 beginning April 1968. This increase was necessary because of the additional benefits added by the amendments, the increased use of the . insurance by the elderly and rising medical costs. Q—Can a widow who is too disabled to work receive benefits from social security? A—Yes. A severely disabled widow may be entitled to benefits at age 50 if her husband worked long enough under social security. She must have been disabled before her husband’s death or within seven years after his death.

another occasion, after which., Pence filled the tank with water. The two escaped to Caudill’s car, but they were unable to escape when the water fed trough the automobile’s gasoline tank, causing it to stall. Pence could be fined up to sl,000 and could serve up to 60 days in jail. Divorce Filed William James, North Webster, from Vivian Irene James. The Jameses were married October 20, 1951, and separated December 1, 1951. There are no children. Note Complaint The Farmers State Bank of North Webster has filed a promissory note suit in Kosciusko circuit court against Oris W. and Mary H. Martin of Cromwell. The plaintiff seeks a judgment in the amount of $28,000 plus attorney fees of $3,500 and interest at eight per cent. ROBINS IN AREA Mrs. Merl D. Laughlin, who resides about a mile south of Syracuse, reported she had seen robins in her yard both Friday and Saturday.

crease over the next few years because of the great number of girls in high school, most of whom soon will be swelling the ranks of students taking driver education. Women represent new business to insurance companies; a new factor for traffic controlling authorities; a vastly increased demand for parking facilities; a new group of customers for service stations. Some significant factors have become obvious as more women take to the road. Women drivers are here to stay, and their standard of driving is improving faster than the male standards. Their accident ratio, even when strictly related to their exposure to traffic, is lower than males. Shortcomings of women are due largely to a lack of opportunity to drive and many of the characteristics of their driving which irritate male drivers are not faults, but virtues, in the eyes of road safety experts.
ment must be freed from hazards. Interestingly enough, a review of the reported clinical cases indicate that children actually were under the supervision of adults in 95 per cent of such incidents. The problem appears to be that parents are unaware of the potential hazards of daily-used products in the home—products which can be purchased with ease in pharmacies, grocery stores, hardware stores, paint stores, and the like; which are advertised daily in newspapers, on radio, and on television. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that parents do not seem to appreciate the relationship between their children’s development and the accessibility of the various household items. What is at present not within reach of the child who cannot walk or climb will soon be accessible to him or her as he or she grows. Thus, the parent must change her patterns of storage as her youngster’s capabilities increase.

Letters To The Editor
More Should Take Time To Help
Dear Editor
This is to the person who wrote the letter concerning the town of Milford’s people problem: I’ll grant you there is a lot that could be improved. But how does this get done? It gets done by everyone working together which I don’t see or hear tell of it being done. Some people when asked to help with something — they don’t have time or won’t take time. If someone gets beat up on the street, do the people pitch in and help? Sure they do. You know how? By standing idly by and saying, “You shouldn’t do that.’’ That’s how they help. As far as the police department — I would like to see one of the

I would like to have it known they are not allowed in the taverns in uniform unless they are called by the tavern manager because there is a fight or someone is getting killed or is already dead. The police can’t even get a cup of coffee cr a sandwich after Augsburger’s and the drug store close. And there are no kitchen facilities at the police station so they either take sandwiches along and take a chance on them not spoiling cr else go hungry until they get home, which is five or six in the morning.

a while so they really have a high old time. As it is now, if they can’t be reached by phone, they are out patroling to see that the kids are not on the streets late at night because the parents are either to lazy to see they are at home or else they are out of town. As for girls being bothered on the streets, some of them ask for it. You don’t think they don’t? I’ll tell you how they do —by wearing their dresses short and tight. Maybe that doesn’t cause all of it, but it sure helps. So take a good look at your daughter when she sets down or before she goes out and see if her dress covers the top of her hose like it should and how tight it fits. Name Withheld by Request Mrs. VSG
