o o TWO IWrOD (OREGON) Survival Suggestions Listed for Holiday Drivers Washington. D. C. It was 0'.'r.r Merry Christmas nor a 3Jjspy New Year for 1400 Amer lcr. lsfct year. That is the num ber rf persons killed in highway Incidents over the 1956 year- Sni holidays, the American As sociation of Motor Vehicle ad ministrators reminds motorists. The administrators point out that "hundreds of homes will be plunged into grief as a result of holiday traffic tragedies." "Iron ically, the two holiday seasons most closely associated with joy and good will have become periods of mourning for many." '"Most automobile accidents stem from human failure," they warn, "or more properly from lack of alertness. "Alertness is a year-around problem for mo torists and pedestrians alike, but during the Christmas-New Year season, with its stepped-up tempo of parties, shopping, motor trips and other holiday activities, maintaining peak awareness is more difficult than ever." "Our goal is to educate the public to the fact that alertness may be impaired by many fact- - ors drawsiness, fatigue, alco hol, travel monotony, to name - only a few and that any or all . of these can spell potential - death." The group's Six Suggestions for Survival are: 1. Never drive when overtired. - Be sure you are sufficiently rest ed before taking over the wheel, and don't try to drive beyond your endurance. 2. Keep a window open when ever the automobile is in motion. Car .beaters keep you warm, but the can also make you danger ously drowsy unless counter acted by fresh air. 3. Fight "festivity fatigue" with coffee. And on long motor Christmas CANDLES W fcv lrjt nortrrunt of large decorating candle. Most colors, shapes and s:ii.

Talk with others in the car; if alone, turn on the radio. Con stantly guard against monotony. It can turn you into a highway killer. 5. Alcohol and gasoline make a lethal mixture. Keep them separate unless you're look ing for a short cut to disaster. 6. Pedestrians today fall into two classes: the quick and the dead. If you plan to be on foot over the holidays, take care, and live to walk another day. Duplicate Club Names Winners Twenty-eight players competed in Riverside Bridge club's dupli cate play Wednesday.

Toy Trains No Longer Just Toys By MARY PRIME United Press Correspondent New York UP) Junior no longer has a monopoly on elec tric trains. Toy trains, always Christmas best-sellers, now go for everything from child's play to atomic research. "Scientists asked us for cars to carry radioactive materials around laboratories," said Law rence Cowen, president of Lionel Corp., toy train manufacturers. "So our engineers designed special lead-lined dump cars which could be operated by re mote control. This system lessens the danger of radiation exposure and saves steps," he said. Electric trains also are used at the Cleveland Clinic, a medical research organization in Ohio. Trains carry radioactive gas capsules, used in treatment of cancer and arthritis, from stor age room to aging room and then to the operating room. Charity Drives Handicapped persons literally get a hand from the model en gines. Tiny electric train motors provide power for mechanical hands gloved devices which fit over the useless hands of para lytics. Toy trains carry our nickels and dimes to needy families, to diseased persons and research groups. Toy tracks are set up in real train stations, lobbies of big buildings and other busy spots during charity drives. Passers by drop money in the cars as the train goes around. Then it stops periodically in the center of the layout and dumps the money into a storage bin. A tiny flatcar often delivers your hamburger to the waiter at a restaurant. Miniature freight cars hold forecasting signs of television weather reports. For Diamond Hauling Model railroading also has a place in movie scenes. Special effects departments use trick photography to make toy trains appear life sized in panoramic shots. This fall, the kids' best friend hauled a load of a girl's best friend diamonds. Award-win ning jewelry was displayed on moving trains at the Diamonds International exhibit in New York. Mothers use trains as center nieces for children's parties, Cowen said. And the cars be come lazy-Susans for serving drinks, canapes and snacks. One woman in Teaneck, N.J., got tired of having her husband skip lunch to play with his train set. So she rigged up a track from kitchen to den and loaded his lunch on a flatcar. Rotarians Give Dinner at Club Among recent annual parties was the annual Christmas dinner given by Medford Rotary club at Rogue Valley Country club. This yearly event is for Rotarians and their wives. Speaker was Ernest Rossi, Philadelphia, who gave a humor ous talk. Russ Jamison was master-of-ceremonies.

Peeling fresh mushrooms Is wasteful and unnecessary, ac cording to home economists of the Gas Appliance Manufactures' association.
