What To Do In Electrical Storms The soft gently rains of springtime can be deceptive. Sometimes they turn into cloudbursting electrical storms. But unless the downpour causes poor visibility there’s no need for a motorist to stop his car. 'lf, however, you’re forced to pull over and wait out a storm one of the safest places to avoid lightning is in your car — in the open. Rubber tires insulate a car and keep the current from grounding the vehicle, so there is little danger that lightning can harm passengers, advises the Chicago Motor Club — AAA. If you decide to pull over and wait for the storm to pass, the motor club offers these safety suggestions: —Don’t park under a tree or pole. If struck by lightning, it might fall on top of your car. —Try to avoid parking under overhead powerlines strung along the roadside. During severe storms many of these lines are knocked down. It is impossible to tell just by looking at a line if it is a “live” wire. If a wire hits your car, you are safe when you stay inside. Since you can’t tell the condition of the wire, sit tight and wait. But avoid touching any metal parts inside the car. If you must summon help use a wooden or plastic object to activate your horn. Wednesday Afternoon Club Enjoys Fashions Ths Wednesday Afternoon club was entertained April 30 in a North Webster restaurant by Mrs. E. L. Fosbrink in absentia, with Mrs. C. R. Hoy and Mrs. George Kleopfer, pro-tern hostesses. Mrs. Ralph Thornburg, Jr., president, conducted the business meeting, with 20 members answering roll call by showing heirloom jewelry. The afternoon topic was “Fashions, Then and Now”. Mrs. .Marley Evans began with fashions of the 1900’s onward through the 1960 showing and telling of the progress of fashions in clothes, cosmetics and hair. Mrs. Louis Kuilema presented the “Now” fashions. The 1969 dress program is a flexible one. Goad craftsmanship and material is essential to any fashion, which is like a carousal giddily turning constantly. The Mizpah benediction closed the meeting. Refreshments were served at azalea decorated tables during the social hour. The club year will close with a dinner party May 14. Wawakeechie Homemakers Club Meets April 23 ’ The Wawakeechie Homemakers club met at the Turkey Creek conservation club house April 23. The tables were decorated with beautiful spring flowers. The hostesses were Mrs. Ed Zumbaugh and Mrs. John W. Peters. Roll call was answered by “our pet peeve” which turned out to be more than one. The usual order of business was conducted. Song of the month “Were You There” was given by Mrs. Fredric Banta. A beautiful poem “Ad for Parents” by Edgar A. Guest was read by Mrs. George Myers. Garden remarks given by Mrs. Vance Moots were suggested tips on how to keep cut flowers longer The lesson for April was to have been “Styles for the Mature Woman” presented by Mrs. Clef Schoeff who was unable to attend but the lesson will be given at a later date. The members are looking forward to the May trip to Fort Wayne at 9:30 a.m., May 21. Public speaking is easy. It’s the thinking before you speak that’s hard.
