Slow Down And Live | Campaign Helps Cut Highway Accidents Reports From 24 States Show Seven Per Cent Reduction - Reports from the 24 states partici pating in the 1954 summertime high way safety campaign. Slow Down and Live, show a reduction of nearly sev en per cent in traffic deaths for this July Fourth week-end as compared with the same holiday last year. Highway deaths in the region, which J nc l U( tes every state from Maine to /TTexas, totaled 179 this year. Last year’s figure was 192. Tne reduction, according to Captain C. E. Taylor of Florida, chairman of the Southern State Safety Coordina tors group, and Paul E. Burke of Maryland, chairman of the Northeast ern State Safety Coordinators, is “re markable” because of the length of this year’s holiday. The coordinator pointed out that this July Fourth week-end covered a full three days. Last year’s was listed officially as a two-day holiday. Seven of the participating- states showed decreases in numbers of deaths this year. They were Arkansas, Ken tucky, Louisana, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee and Virginia. Seven other states, Alabama, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jer sey, Texas and West Virginia, held even with the toll of a year ago. The states of Connecticut, Delaware, Flor ida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Caro lina, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Vermont report ed increases. In announcing the figures, Captain * Taylor and Mr. Burke said, “This is a remarkable record in view of the dif ference in the periods of time cover ed by the two holidays. We must re member that the 1954 Independence Day week-end offered 45 per cent greater exposure to traffic hazards in point of time than did last year’s week-end.” THis is the second consecutive 1964 summer holiday during which the Slow Down and Live states showed reduc tions from the 1953 death figures. During the Memorial Day week-end i the states experienced a 16 per cent reduction as compared with last year, j r 1 | Hospital Patients j Patients admitted to Chowan Hos-i pital during the week of August 1-8 1 were as follows: ' i White Edenton—Mrs. Christine Posa, Mrs. 1 Loulie Bunch, Mrs. Jessie Mae Ward, Mrs. Eleanor Williams, Humphrey D.

KITCHEN KOMMENT Chintz is a favorite cotton fabric for home decorating because it wears well, works well, and resists dirt. Patterns Jean be selected to fit any decor. j Home economists say that fabrics I I treated with crease-resistant finishes (retain their qualities best when wash led in warm—not hot—water. Exces sively hot water may remove some of i the finish after a number of wash ings. ! A recent survey by a leading pat i tern company shows that service-abili ty is the major factor in buying home sewing fabrics. It also reveals that cotton fabrics are the most popular materials for sewing. Certain cotton fabrics, such as glaz &ed chintzes, are well suited for use as attractive and colorful wall coverings. Gay pictures make a child’s room much more attractive. Find colorful,, appropriate pictures in magazines to | frame for your children’s room. Make pretty, inexpensive frames for them by covering a piece of cardboard with) gingham fabric. Change the maga- ( zine pictures frequently to hold the J children’s interest.
