cidents in North Carolina in 1953, Fire
Prevention Week, scheduled for Octo

i tion.
j Safety authorities agree, however,
for effective fire prevention, activi-
I ties must continue for 52 weeks of
the year.
The eight principal fire causes in
the home in order of frequency are:
1. Careless smoking and handling of
matches.
2. Misuse of electricity.
3. Defective or overheated and cook
ing equipment.
4. Improper disposal of rubbish.
5. Careless handling of kerosene,
gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
6. Lightning.
7. Defective chimneys. I
8. Children and matches. |

the fire hazards from your home. Re-,
place flammable shingle roofs with
asphalt shingles or other fire-resistant l
roofing. Store gasoline and kerosene

Ford’s new Ball-Joint Front Suspension is the greatest
advance in chassis design in twenty years. In place of the
kingpin and “hinge” system found in most cars, Ford has
simple ball joints for easier steering and riding.
This Ball-Joint Suspension also keeps your wheels in line
far longer . . . and it helps keep that “new-car feel” much
longer, too. In addition 12 points of wear are eliminated, so
there are only 4 instead of 16 lubrication points.
A host of "Worth More” features make Ford your best buy
Ford alone in its field offers you a Y-block V-8 and I'block

They take the “work” out of shifting, steering, stopping ..;
lift all 4 windows and move your front seat up, down, for

that Ford returns more of its original cost than any competi
