CARD OF THANKS r sincere It is -! d 210ths V. of a Second: The hood crumples as it rises, smashing into the windshield, while the rear wheels leave the ground, spinning crazily. The fenders come into contact with the tree, forcing the rear parts out over the front of the doors. The heavy structural members of the vehicle begin to act as a brake on the terrific forward motion of the vehicle. However, your body, with 20 times the normal gravitational force and with a weight of 3,200 pounds, continues to move forward at the vehicle's original speed of 55 m.p.h. toward your own private collision rendezvous with those parts of the vehicle which dare to obstruct your path. Your leys, ramrod straight, snap at the knee joints, 310th of a Second: Your body now is off the scat, torso upright, and broken knees are pressing against the dashboard. The plastic and steel frame of the steering wheel begins to bend under your terrible death grip. Your head now is near the sun visor and your chest is above the steering wheel. 4lOths of a Second: The front 24 inches of your vehicle has been demolished, but the rear end still is traveling at an estimated speed motor of 35 m.p.h. The half-to- n block crunches into the tree while the rear of the vehicle, like a bucking horse,, rises high enough to scrape bark off the low branches. n 510ths of a Second: Your hands bend the steering column into an almost verticle position, while you are being empaled on the steering wheel by the force of gravity. Jagged steel punctures your lungs and intercostal arteries. Blood spurts from your lungs and other wounds from flying glass and the compound fractures of your leg bones. 610ths of a Second: The brake pedal shears from the engine assembly at the floor board, the chassis bends in the middle, shearing body bolts, and the rear of the vehicle begins it downward fall while the spinning rear wheels dig into the ground in their final dying motion. Your shoes are ripped from your feet even though tightly laced. Your head smashes through the windshield. 710ths of a Second: The entire writhing body of the vehicle is forced out of shape. In one last fear-froze- desire to exall those our to thanks press who helped in any way during the passing of our dear mother, Alba Gillins. The expressions of sympathy, the services rendered, the floral offerings, the food sent in and those taking part on the funeral program, were all a source of comfort to us during our bereavement.

YOUR LIFE HAS PASSED ON, leaving a badly mangled body behindin only 710th of a second! Now that the police, ambulance, wrecker a n d an crowd of spectators have gathered to witness the results of your last wild, action-packe- d ride, why not stay around and listen to some of the comments on the whys and accident? ! wherefores of this tragic The ambulance driver, with the help cf eager volunteers, gets your body out of the wreck. There is no hurry, for there is nothing can be done for you now. Common remarks probably would be, "Well, he never knew what hit him!" or "He probably felt no pain." The officer goes about his job of investigation in a methodical, impersonal manner, for this is just an every-da- y occurrence just another statistic. He takes measurements, questions witnesses, determines your identity, notifies your next of kin, etc. Even though some of tho spectators would say, "He must have been doing over 100 m.p.h.!" the officer probably will estimate your speed to have been in the vicinity of 55 m.p.h., for, from experience and impact conditions, he can tell quite exactly what your speed had been. Even though the vehicle is a mass of mangled steel, the wrecker attendant hooks on, and, in a matter of minutes, has it on its way to the scrap pile. Within an hour, your body has been removed to a slab in the morgue, the police have completed their work, the wreckage has been cleared away, and the only visible signs left are the drying pool of YOUR BLOOD and a skinned roadside tree! What could have gone wrong? Only you could tell but YOU'RE NOT TALKING! The mass of mangled steel that once was your 1960 model Sooper Dooper was capable of speeds in excess of 100 m.p.h, It was equipped with all the latest safety devices. Could this mechanlca wonder have developed a malfunction sufficient to cause an alert, driver like you to have lost control, even with all those amazing safety features that were built in? Or, could you, as driver, have been at fault? Did you get careless? Did you fall asleep? Were ycu fatigued? Should you have paid more attention to your doctor when he told you to slow down and take it easy? Did you have too much to drink? The damage has been done, regardless of where the fault lis. Everything has been cleaned up except the expenses. The double indemnity clause of your insurance will help. Your retirement and social security benefits will be a great help to the wife and kids. They will get along and soon will get used to not having you around. Whv not play it safe?
