This bloody record was the next-to-the worst in all the State's history. It was compiled com-piled despite strenuous efforts on the part of government officials, law enforcement agencies and safety organizations throughout the State. Almost a week of the new year had gone by before the first 1958 highway death marred the record. This was a welcome respite from the death-filled closing days of 1957. Before we become complacent complac-ent about our new safe driving habits, however, we should look back a yearthe traffic record for the early days of 1357 was also good, but driver carelessness later in the year .-still .cost us 222 irreplaceable ir-replaceable lives. - If we are to reduce 1957's tragic trag-ic toll, we must have TOUR full cooperation and support. The Governor, Gov-ernor, and all the State officials, and the law enforcement officers and the courts and the schools and the dedicated safety organizations organiza-tions all" these together, 'by themselves, them-selves, cannot" do the job. Without full public support; their efforts are largely in vain, as was proved in 1957. With wholehearted public support, the State's traffic toll can be cut to a fraction of its present frightful size as has been proved by experience in Connecticut and other states. When you take the wheel of .a car,, you have a tremendous responsibility, re-sponsibility, for your own life and for the lives of your fellow citizens. If you are driving 30 miles an hour and you crash, head-on,, into a car coming the other way at the same speed, you and your passengers passen-gers and the people in the other car will be flung forward towards the windshields with a force of about 6Vi foot-tons more than six times the impact force of a 30-calibre machine gun bullet. You can figure your own chances for survival under those conditions. If you are travelling 60 miles an hour in your own car and have any kind of collision, your chances for survival sur-vival are one in1 7. Over 70 miles an hour, your chances of staying alive are "50-50". Ov er SO miles an hour, even the statistics don't give you a chance to live. . When a fast travelling automobile automo-bile hits a bidden patch of ice on the highway, a tremendous force is suddenly turned loose without direction or control. An engineer can understand what happens in terms of mass, inertia and coefficients coeffi-cients of friction. To the layman, the net result shows up more blunt- ly, in terms of mangled human bodies. We have long worked on the proven theory that "eternal vigilance vigi-lance is the price of liberty". Our traffic conditions have become such that eternal vigilance has 'become the price of life itself when you are on the highway. You have to be more than careful you have to drive defensively, watch out for the other fellow's errors as well as avoiding your own. These are some of your obvious responsibilities as a driver. You have further responsibilities as a citizen. It is your support that will make or,, break any program of safety education, safety engineering engineer-ing or safety enforcement. I hope you will give that support and that we'll both live through 1958. LYNNDYL MRS. MARY JOHNSON 1 ill SiaiitCeM Steel BOWL &0 Ccn'l Erss Can't Chi? Clesns Easily ... LisMwsigh!

In 1928, Perine, a New York City advertising executive, bought the crumbling, 200-year-old shack shown in the "before" photo with the express purpose of making a Colonial-style mansion man-sion out of it. He began work at once, and hasn't stopped since. Today the rambling 10-room house on 20 acres of forest land north of New York City, is a landmark in an area where pre-Revolu-tionary War homes abound. Perine, who was a professional profession-al photographer for 15 years and who recently sang a concert in the Carnegie Recital Hall, did all the work himself with the occasional aid of two brothers and a sister. And he insists he has more projects in mind. "The next job will be a new, all-white roof of asphalt shingles shin-gles over that old metal roof up there," Perine said. "I want a white roof because it reflects heat." Perine's desire for a heat-reflecting heat-reflecting roof is a good illustration illustra-tion of his attitude toward the entire remodeling project: comfort com-fort first, Colonial authenticity second. Even the most critical observer will agree that both have been well served. As an example, the house, which has four bedrooms, a mu sic room, two baths, a eiant liv ing room, and dining room with fireplace, is thickly insulated with mineral wool in walls and ceilings. !t,V , a i: i i ' J Above, 200-year-old Rockland County, N.Y. house as it looks today. At right, the same house as it appeared 30 years ago be fore remodeling. Part of the insulation was installed in-stalled at the sacrifice of a few original plaster wa3 which were filled with a mixture of corn cobs, twigs, and bark the "insulation" of George Washington's Washing-ton's day. This had to be removed re-moved before fireproof mineral wool could be installed. "I hated to see those walls go," says Perine, "but comfort came first Besides, can you imagine im-agine the cost of heating a house this size without insulation?" One place where Perine didn't have to sacrifice Colonial authenticity au-thenticity was in adding new doors and windows or replacing old ones. He obtained Colonial-style Colonial-style double hung windows and panel doors of ponderosa pine 1 from a local building materials dealer. These stock windows and doors are copies from originals made by Colonial craftsmen. Perine confesses that in 1928 he was a bit overwhelmed by the enormity of the task that lay ahead to make a home out of the ramshackle building he bought. "But I'd do it all over again, gladly, and I recommend it to anyone who likes to work with his hands as I do," he says. her family members there. Mrs. Mayme Freer is home after two weeks in Bountiful with Mr. and Mrs. Otto Stienback.

The mumps are taking over in Cost of Thick Insulation Lower in Long Run Home-owners planning to insulate in-sulate should know that it is a wiser economy to install a thick blanket of mineral wood than it is to install a thin layer. Since thicker amounts of min-; eral wool save more winter heat the slightly extra cost of thicker insulation is soon compensated for in lower fuel bills. Another factor is that time and labor expended installing insulation is virtually the same, whether it is thick or thin. i the Sutherland School, several children chil-dren in the first and second grades are home with them.
