T his toll CAN be reduced If you rem em ber that: 1. A revolving door can become belligerent under pressure. It som e tim es will strik e back and knock you cu t when It's rudely pushed. 2. A stairw ay can whisk you dow nw ard faster than an express elevator If yo u 're careless . . . and no one calls the floor when you land. 3. T he space betw een two parked cars m akes a sandwich of safety vision w hen you step from the curb to cross the street And that's food for th o u g h t 4. You can learn to fly through the air with the greatest of ease by disregarding the red light at busy intersections and cross walks. 5. F orest fires can often be staged right In your living room If you use C hristm as tree lights and extension cords which do not carry the U n d er w riters L aboratories label.
