This sensational new type of tire, known as the Davis Curve Safety, has been developed by Davis Tire engineers, and will be available to the public in Western Auto Stores and Associate StorA oe ginning the week of January V Information from the National Safety Council and other groups w-mphasize these three important x'actt concerning curve safety: (1) Each year 183,000 persons are killed or injured in accidents n curves and turns. _ (2) Each year accMBnts on -urves kill six times more people han blowout*. (3) Each year dangerous skids are involved in 24% of all high way accidents. This new "Curve Safety Tire" oas nine engineered features for greater safety, all designed to aid in the national campaign for safety on curves, turns and skids. Recognizing the fact that the outside tire ribe become the im portant gripping ribs on curves and swerves, Davis Tire engine ers concentrated their reseai%h on this all-important rib. From this research and development emerged a system of "curve grip ^ers." These patented curve ..rippers are nearly invisible per forations in a chevron arrange ment on the outside rib. Each tire contains 1036 of these "invisible" curve grippers. Anderson urges doctors to spread rural medical care.

All the talk, however, we hear about it from Washington may not be political. This is an election year, and there is a possibility that a rationing program will be put in to practice to pacify labor-wage demands. Secretary of Agriculture Anderson has stated that his "Department is drawing up plans for meat ration ing, to be used if necessary. One of our lockers for storing your meat is good insurance. All lockers are the same in size and capacity, holding about 160 - 170 pounds of meat.

TEAGUE Electrical Inspector, Town of Boom Appliance* All appliance* which a person can purchase are approved by the national board of fire under writers. Therefore, you can be assured that the proper size wire to each appliance is correct. The above mentioned should be a good guide as to the size and type wire to be used if ex tensions are necessary. For example: The lead In wire to an electric iron is insulated with asbestos to withstand the heat generated by the current and temperature of the room in which the iron is being used. Therefore, you would not use an extension cord with a smaller wire and lower heat resistant In sulation than is used by the iron. The current which the iron will draw would cause a smaller wire extension to overheat, and in many cases catch fire If not of lire proof insulation. It has been found by the Fire Underwriters that 50% of all electrical fires are caused by the use of improper extensions cords. All extensions should be kept in good repair for your own pro tection. nonet NORTH CAROLINA WATAUGA COUNTY Douglas J. Glovler, Plaintiff VS Virginia E.
