Safety Foundation Head Says Women Prove The Best Drivers Woment are the safest drivers! Statistics compiled by the Farmers Insurance Group Safety Foundations IBM electronic brain have proved that women far surpass men in this field, according to Mr. John C. Tyler, chairman of the Foundation board. Tyler suggested that instead of being afraid to be a back seat driver, a woman should make sure that she and members of her family drive safely, obeying all traffic rules and regulations; see that the family car is in safe operating condition, and support all law enforcement agencies in their efforts to protect the motorist and pedestrian. He said that although the ratio of men to women drivers is only five to two, 10 times as many men drivers are involved in fatal traffic accidents as women, and six times as many men are involved in all types of accidents including injury and property damage. Women drivers under 25 are so superior to their male counterparts that they can obtain insurance cov ci Protection Offered Sevier Residents Hot Water Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Christensen were in Salt Lake, Sunday and Monday, and visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Christensen.

National Library Week To B Observed In Salina Ikspiial-Surgi- ation concerning the Hospital & Surgical protection which will soon be available to residents of this county. The American Republic Insurance Company, with the home office in Des Moines, is the author of the Hospital & Surgical program to be introduced to the residents. This plan of protection against the expense of hospital and doctor bills has benefited residents of many other communities. American Republic is now in its 27th year of service, and this county has been selected as one of the counties to participate in this Hospital & Surgical program. The protection has been widely endorsed for its liberal coverage for hospital and surgical bills. Since a high percentage of residents require hospitalization every year, a need for a heRer plan of hospital and surgical protection is indicated. It is expected that participation in the program here will be extensive. The American Republic plan is well known, and has achieved popularity. One of the most effective means of combating socialized medicine is the number of families who are protecting themselves by participating in a voluntary plan of hospital and surgical protection. Many authorities believe that the American people, most especially those in the Midwest, want to choose their own plan of protection against doctor and hospital expenses, rather than be forced into a system of government controlled medical or hospital care. T h e announcement carried rtrowbere in this issue will give r':'dpns of this county an to participate in such a voluntary program providing pp"tion against hospital and expense. It is pointed mi that families living in the rural areas will be contacted the next few weeks, and they, eo. will be given an opportunity tc avail themselves of this protection. Many more farm families require hospitalization than city residents because of the higher incident of accidents on farms. Usually, farmers do not have the opportunity to obtain adequate hospital and surgical care because they are and the benefit of an industrial group plan is not available to therm (Continued On Page 8) ever-increasi- erage at about half the cost. For this reason, Mr. Tyler said that he felt that the woen were the logical ones to instigate a traffic safety program i l their communities working through clubs, scho'i1 groups and churches.
