The monthly magazine Traf fic Safety said deer cause an estimated annual property loss of $12 million or more in collisions with cars. Many mo torists are injured or killed in the accidents.

Some tips to save the lives of deer ana cut down on auto accidents: Heed "Danger-Deer Cross ing" highway signs. Remember that a deer's eyes glow like the eyes of dogs, cats and raccoons. Hit the brakes if a deer dashes into the road in front of you. Others often follow the lead deer. Switch to low beam and blow the car horn if you spot a deer in the road ahead. Deer are blinded by bright lights. Lowering the headlights will let the animal see which way it wants to go. asking the grand jury to in dict him for first degree mur der. The crime carries a pen alty of death unless mercy is recommended, automatically imposing a life sentence. Hargrove appeared crushed, physically and spiritually.

Cleared First Time Hargrove, who had an eight month romance with Clark's wife, Lois, a former Miami model, twice confessed to the bizarre murder but was clear ed the first time by authori ties who gave him a lie de tector test. But he was picked up again at his mother's home in To ledo after police received an anonymous telephone call in forming them that Hargrove purchased a .22-caliber rifle the day before the murder. He confessed again. This plus the fact that a handwrit ing expert identified Har grove's handwriting on the sales slip for the rifle and the matching of two bullets led to the murder charge.
