Place the large carton on its side, turn the small carton upside down and glue them together, gable to gable. • Trim off the extra part of the gable from the small carton.

Used as a centerpiece, it's a great way to have your turkey while you eat it, too! Happy Holidays! PROFESSIONAL MODEL ...With unique turkey centerpiece Safety Association Says Autumn V. « ’V . ... Increases Night Driving Hazards uiua mile-for-mile oasis, night driving is more than twice as dangerous as day time drivingnand according to Joseph M Molloy, Managing Director of Citizens Safety Association, a United Way Agency, the night driving hazard will increase this fall as the hours of darkness ex tend into the early evening and late afternoon commuter rush hours Molly cited National Safety Council statitics showing that the night mileage death rate in the U. S. is 7,4 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, while the daytime mileage rate is 2.9 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles. On weekdays, he said, the num ber of fatal accidents greatly increases between the hours of 4:00 and 8:00 p.m Traffic congestion, haste and fatigue all contribute to the increased fatality toll during the evening commut ing hours, he explained, but the earlier hours of darkness during the fall and winter months add an especially deadly component to the mix of rush four hazards "Darkness," Molly said, "reduces the > larity of the visual cues essential for safe driving Judging distance and speed becomes more difficult, and a driver's peripheral vi sion is reduced." he added. hum p wu.-Mi laiia ci1111 mtj • clists along the roadside can seem to appear out of no where The first rule of safe night driving, according to Molloy is to slow down and stay alert "Motorists often overesti mate their night vision when they are driving in familiar areas," Molloy said, "because they easily can pick-out oh jects that they are expecting along the roadway ahead.' However, it lakes much more lime to recognize unexpected hazards at night," he added, "and that longer recognition time means that a driver must keep his speed down and his eyes moving in order to spot dangerous traffic situations before he drives into them Night driving speeds, according to Molloy. can vary depending on visibility condi tions. but a driver should nev er travel so fast that he cannot stop within the distanc e ilium mated bv his headlights Cnde rclear weather conditions and on a straight stretch of road. most low-beam headlights will illuminate the pavement ahead for a distance of about 250 feet, Molloy said. By com parison. he said, most auto mobiles can come to complete stop within 226 feet on dry pavement from a speed of 55 miles per hour. However, headlight glare from an approaching car can reduce visibility to as little as 100 feet, Molloy said, and rain, haze or road conditions such as curves and hills can reduce vision even further while stopping distance remains the same or increases. Keeping headlights and other vehicle lighting systems properly maintained will maximize their efficiency, Molloy said, and he added that lights should be cleaned at every fuel .stop along with the vehicle's windows. He advised cleaning lenses more fre quently in wet weather when road spatter drying on the glass or plastic can cut ilium ination in half. Molloy also said that a check of headlight alignment should be part of every motorist's periodic vehicle maintenance check list. "Proper headlight align ment is essential to put the most illumination of the road and to keep the beams out of other drivers’ eyes,” Molloy said. "A headlight beam that is out of alignment by one degree will be off-target by 21 inches at a distance of 100 feet, headdedi___ THIS IS YOUR PAPER USE IT AUCTION SALE OFFICE EQUIPMENT in ORDER OF R.
