Over a period of several years they collected different products to carry with them to freshen up as desiredi There is a lot of talk about cleaning up in the trucking industry and the Reeders believe it would be a good start for drivers Io have, a choice about personal cleanliness.

A pork chop barbecue is slated to be held at Campbell's Market on July 25. We’ll have more information on this fund-raiser in a later column. DID YOU remember to buckle your seat belt today? It’s July 1 and today is the day Indiana's mandatory seat belt law became effective. The law requires front seat occupants in passenger vehicles to wear their safety belts. The Indiana State Medical Association is a member of Hoosiers for Safety Belts, a statewide, non-profit coalition of individuals and groups dedicated to promoting the use of safety belts. ISMA encourages all Hoosiers to “Buckle Up For Life’’ and to consider the following seat belt statistics: An unbelted occupant of a 30-mph vehicle crash hits the windshield or other interior surface of the vehicle with the same impact as a fall from a threestory building. Even the impact of a slower, 10-mph crash Is

roughly equivalent to catching a 200-pound weight dropped from about seven feet. An unbelted adult holding a child on his lap in a 30-mph crash, would be thrown forward with the force of one and one-half tons, and the child would be crushed to death. Safety belts help vehicle occupants “ride down” the force of a crash by holding them in place and preventing contact with either the interior of the vehicle or other occupants. Belts also Ijfep occupants inside the vehicle which improves their chance of surviving a crash. Studies reveal ejection can be 40 times more lethal and is a major factor in fatalities and severe injuries... Belts can prevent you from being crushed by your own car. According to a study cdvering 28,000 traffic accidents in Sweden, no fatalities involving seat belt users were found at crash speeds of under 60 mph, but speeds as low as 12 mph resulted in deaths among unbelted occupants. . Studies indicate that many habits can be learned, or unlearned in about eight days. If you don’t wear your safety belt regularly, Hoosiers for Safety Belts and the Indiana State Medical Association encourage you to “Buckle Up For Life.”
