May Save Lives ; Hie tragic headlines which announce the loss of American lives in Viat Nam make us constantly aware of the senselessness of war. . ^ Tho only consolatio;n-^if, indeed, there is any consolation—is that this fight in a steaming far-away land is being waged in the name ; of freedom and decency. } But there are other tragic headlines. Too many. In fact And ' we. manage to turn away from them without compassion. ' f These arc the headlines dealing with the loss of life on U.S. highways. V Yet-when wo uae these editorial columns to discuss highway nafety (there, we’ve said it!>, wc can almost sense the curtain of callousness Iwing drawn down—an invisible barrier between the l>i'intnd page and the thinking mind. This fails to alter the fact that our highway casualty list is tragic. Perhaps even more tragic than our losses in Viet Nam. In Viet Nam the losses are suffered in the name of a worthy On our highways, the atrocities are committe^_f6r the worst ....^'..possible causes. ......... feucH'cai33'cs air‘‘Gctrthere-before.the.olher-auy.\ r^..and “Hur^ ; iip-and-wpfi\ 'i V and ^'I‘llrtakC‘my-shai^of-the-roadrany.wA>f»!*r..... iLost year, 48,500 men, women and children were killed on the nation’s roadways.

Doesn’t that merit your attention for a few moments? ' Lost year 4,100,000 persons were hurt in traffic accidents. That represents nearly half the population of New York City. Doesn’t that make you stop and think? ^ - As a responsible newspaper, we are frustrated as wc attempt ' \0 help alleviate this gruesome problem. We can put it on the V printed page for all to read. ,i»s But who’s to read it? And who will take it to heart enough to do his part? How do we convince our citizens that they should stop mur- A • dcring themselves on the highway? '(Y. /Editorial columns .do .not really provide the solution. .'■) But you do. We ell do—as good citizens.

And certainly we have nour ished ourselves on corn. European exporers made great discoveries in the New World but one of the greatest discoveries was made thousands of years before by the Indlanff.-- .. ........ - ----------------- They found corn In the form of wild grass In Peru and Mexico where they learned by trial and error to cultivate It and where best to grow it. They gave us one of the world’s finest foods and most valuable crops. The Indian's varying dialects gave It different names but they all meant the same thing; “Our Life.” Dorothy Giles said, in her book on the history of corn, \So corn provided infant America with a backbone while it was de veloping the use of its legs; America was growing .quite liter ally up the comstaUc,”. The. Exiropcans think of corn as any edible gmi.n and call ours Maize but we just call it com. Christopher Columbus was the first European to mention it iii his journals about his .voyage to the Caribbean in 1482. . , The Indians hi^ a special way of growing it so that they were getting three crops a year. They hod many imaginative ways to P 0 pk it and made deiieJous, crisp pones and hoecakes; even bread which , contained, dried hucklq- berries.

BURNS Too many young girls today think-that beauty is just confined to the face. They overlook the major fact that the prettiest- face in the world would mean.-nothing if the rest o| the person were not well-groomed and at its-best. • , . > This means from the top of the head to the tip of the toest And when all .this.is in order, it still is not true beauty if the person . slouches, walks pigeon- toed or shuffles along with drag ging feet. I saw. a real charming girl the other day coming out of Freeport High School. She was tall and she walked like a queen—erect, with dignified charm and a ma jestic bearing which made her truly a beautiful girl. Tall people should be proud of their height. Unfortunately, too many youngsters who are six- footers have a tendency to stoop. -The human body, when it is pre.sented in its true form, is nature’s masterpiece .of creation. The walk of -dignity is poetry ia . motion. i So, to be truly beautiful and charming, give thought' to the overall picture. Your hair, face, grooming, voice, manners and your walk should be at their best. YOU AND YOUR INSURANCE By WILLIAM H. WHITE Insuring Your Unexpected Added Living Expenses \Our house was extensively damaged by a fire\ writes a policy holder. \During the several weeks it took, to make repairs and make our home habitable, we lived in a nearby motel, ate in restaurants and faced mounting and near ruinous bills. But, we understand that if we carried insurance lor extra living expenses', our monetary problems would have been nil. -------- - ------------------------------- - Could you explain the coverage?” Additional living expense in surance underwrites all reason able extra costs of maintaining you and your family at your cus tomary living standard while your regular quarters-damaged by flre^ windstorm, or other in sured peril—is being restored. All hpmeo.wners package poli cies include this coverage. If you don’t have the “package” policy, additional living expense insiu:*- ance can be purchased separately. Extra living' expense insurance also is available for persons or families living in apartments^ rented: houses or other, abodes,' Fires and other, perils can strike anydno'a-home at any time —causing unexpected ad^tion^ expenses while, you are living elsewhere. Therefore, it’s worth your while to check your insi^ ance agent to see whether you have this important coverage. FW R T PROFESSOR AT HOFSTRA WRrHS BOOK .
