15 Expected To Die
In Easter Accidents
Charlotte ? The N. C. State Mo
tor Club estimate* that at least IS
tenons will die in traffic acci
dent! on North Carolina highways
during the Eaater weekend.
Highway fatalities for the holi
day period will be counted from
6 p. m. Friday through midnight
Monday. The state's Easter traf
fic toll last year added up to 12
killed and 339 injured in SM ac
cidents.
Of the 019 driver violations re
ported, the leading causes of acci
dents were speeding, failure to
yield right of way, following too
closely, driving under the influ
ence of alcohol and driving on the
wrong side of the road other than
in paasing.
North Carolina's highway deaths
for the first three months of this
year are running neck and neck
with the pace set in 1960, when the
traffic toll reached 1,220, second
highest on record. It wss exceeded
only in 1941, when 1,289 persons
were killed.

Beeswax Has
Many Uses
Women can thank the bee for
helping to beautify them.
The cosmetics industry is the
biggest single user of' beeswax in
the nation. It's an ingredient in
face creams, lotions, ointments,
lipstick, rouges and other cos- j
metics. c
"There are many other uses for
this end product of the bee ? so
many that each year the U. S. has '
to import millions of pounds of
beeswax," says W. A. Stephen, bee
keeper for the N. C. State College
Extension Service. "From four to
five million pounds a year are pro
duced in the U. S."
Dentists use it in preparing in
lays and other dental fixtures; tail
ors and cobblers use it on thread;
canvas-makers waterproof their
product with it; manufacturers of
electric wiring use it in wire Insu
lation.
Beeswax once was a common
source of light. Even to^iy, all
candles used in Roman Catholic
churches are made mostly of bees
wax.
"The fact that it's of virgin
origin makes it especially attrac
tive to the church," says Stephen.
"And the purity of its light and
pleasant aroma add to its signifi
cance."
The beekwper himself is a con
sumer of beeswax. Many thoua
ands of pounds are used every
year in making fq^ndationa for
beehives.
"Beeswax is unsurpassed today
for the qualities which made it so
useful to the ancients," says Ste
phen, "and we use more of it all
the time."

Correct Covering For Kitchen,
Bathroom Walls Is Important
Kitchen and bathroom walls
need to much more cituiBf thin
moat other walla of the house that
they usually arc subject to more
severe wear Often the wall fin
ish or covering is replaced because
of damage caused by cleaning. One
quality important for the wall-sur
facing materials used In these
rooms is resistance to scrubbing
damage.
The Texas Experiment Station
recently conducted an experiment
as part of the southern region
housing research project.
They tested 10 types of materials
by scrubbing with three familiar
kinds of washing powders for 30
minutes. A scrubbing machine
which applied the cleanser with a
damp sponge was devised for uni
formity in these tests.
The cleaning powders used were
(1) non-abrasive and water-soluble
mixture, (2) mild abrasive and (3)
moderately strong abrasive. Wall
materials tested ranged from ce
ramic, plastic and various metal
tiles to finished wall boards, fab
rics and sheetings.
All wall materials tested had
good resistance to scrubbing with
the non-abraaive cleanser. No
damage to any of the glossy sur
faces was noted.
In contrast, scrubbing with abra
sive or scouring-powders wss
found to dsmage the surfsce or the
gloss of msny of the msterials.
The mild and the moderately
strong abrasives caused similar
damage.
The ceramic .tiles, porcelain-on
steel, stainless steel and vinylixed
fabric showed little chsnge from
scrubbing with sny of the three
cleaners. Plaatic tiles, flexible rub
ber and enameled (teel ihowed
some change after abrasive scrub
bing.
Prefinished wallboard, enameled
a t ? ? 1, thermoplastic laminated
theetinf and copper tilea showed
the moat damage from abrasive
cleaning. Generally, materials fin
ished with a high glosa showed the
meet change after scrubbing.
In Fashion Now
Jacket suits ?re quite popular
this spring. The jackets are short
? Just as they were during the fall
and winter. They end at the waist
line or come aa low as the hip
line.
, Necklines are coming in for a
lot of attention. A good many
necklines on dresses and suits are
opened up and filled with pearls,
gold chains or crystal beada. Spring
dresses sport touches of chiffon
for all kinds of fanciful effects.
8UPPOrrS TRUCK TAXES
Treasury Secretary Dillon told
Congress recently that both Fed
eral and state studies clesrly show
heavy trucks should pay a greater
ahare of the cost of the Federal
superhighwsy system.
Dillon and Commerce Secretary
Hodgea opened the Kennedy Ad
ministration's case for new taxes
to bring in an estimated $900,000,
000 annually and keep the pay-as
you-go highway program on sched
ule.
Safe Entrance
Is Important
If you plan to remodel porches
or other entryways to your home,
consider safety la planning. One
suggestion is that the entrance
landing should be at least S by 7
feet. Allow two feet of standing
space on the latch side of the
door. This gives enough space for
a person to stand without having
to step off when the door swings.
If U>ere are one or more steps,
provide both a hand rail for the
steps and a guard rail around the
porch platform. It's best to have
an overhead protection to prevent
rain, ice or snow from piling up
on steps or landing. An outdoor
light is needed that makes it pos
sible to see steps and landing
clearly after dark.
The treads of the steps should
be wide enough to provide se
cure, steady placing of the entire
foot. A usual rule for safe steps
is to have the width of the tread
and the height of the riser com
bined equal about 18 inches with
the tread measuring about 11H
inches.
