No excuse is worth it. Since the majority of auto accidents occur within 35 miles of home, and at less than 40 miles an hour, safety belts are worth the "trouble" to buckle no matter how short d or the trip. Although more than half the car? jn the road have safety belts, only one in three of us takes the seconds necessary to fasten them. In a recent report, the National balety Council says some 10,000 lives could be saved annually if belts are used. Based on that alone, it seems a wrinkle or two could be tolerated. And don't stop with your own belts. Children under four years should be buckled into a safe child seat. Under nine months use a car bed or infant carrier. Beyond four years, use a lap belt. If the child is over feet tall, a shoulder harness should also be used. "Seat belts are no good unless they're used," says American Oil Company manager of safety, F. Curtis Smith. "So, buckle up for safety." mmt Wmk s CAR SAFETY CHECK h X t (i t - "'7- - i 'f " x p" " v r LIST Some states or municipalities have regulated systems of manchecks.

It was dusk, and already there were lighted candles and wreaths with colored lamps in the windows of the houses that she passed.
