Hero you will find a storehouse of ideas for creating a happy and desirade Environment for your family, es pecially the children. From the 16 pi-Tessionally de signed and landscaped gardens you shC'Lild he able to pick up many new ideas concerning the selection of plant materials and their pioper use in the landscape plan. The same Is true for in teriors and for r)Utdoor living. In a very real sense this is also a trade show because you will SCO the late.st in children’s play yards, garden tools and equip- '.Tient, swimming pools, pesticides, including weed killers , patio 2onst ruction, fertilizers, picnic iquipment, pottery, statuary, and greemhouses. No encouragement is noedetl for the 19,000 garden clubbers in the Old North Slate because many of them an? already mak- ng plans. But how about yooi, ?op? Couldn’t you steal a little time off and take the lady to the show? And the children? THE KI^SS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C.

In the end most were either ' injured or killed. Jamming on the brakes ac- com.plishes little. Brakes will “fade” in a speeding car with the gas full on. At high speed, ex- trere heat is generated in the brakes, the linings glaze and the drums expand, reducing the stop- ■ ping power of the crakes. If you kick the pedal, in an at tempt to unjam it. chances are ycu will Dniy jam it down far ther and increase your speed. Turning off the ignition and braking carefully to a stop is the fastest and safest method of bringing a runaway car under control again. j Knowing this could save your life.
