Isn’t Your Old Iron
Past Its Prime?
Even electric irons lose their efficiency, you
know—they wear out just like anything else.
And once their heat unit becomes weakened it
greatly increases hand-labor and slows up the
ironing process.
The new, improved ELECTRIC IRONS have
marked advantages over the old models. They
make ironing easier—give a smoother finish.
Latest features include: heat control—bev-
eled edges — air-cooled handle — choice of
many inviting colors—balanced weight,

EDUCATING THE
MOTORING PUBLIC
{ PRESIDENT GABLE URGES MO-
TORISTS TO DO THEIR FULL
SHARE IN MOVE TO REDUCE
SCHOOL CHILDREN TOLL
Calling attention to the fact that
more than 3,000 children of school age
1 were killed by automobiles in the
United States last year S. Edward
Gable, president of the Lancaster Au-
tomobile Club today issued a stote-
ment urging motorists to do their full
! share in the move to cut this toll,
“Thousands of children throughout
Pennsylvania will be returning to
school this week and next,” said Mr.
Gable, “and their presence on streets
and highways going to and from their
homes gives rise to a traffic condition
fraught with hazards.”
The Auto Club president stressed
the fact that the State law provides
amply for the protection of children in
school zones. The motor code sets
forth he said, in Section 1002, Article
A, that “any person driving a vehicle
on a highway shall drive the same at
a careful and prudent speed, not
greater than is reasonable and proper,
having due regard to traffic. surface
and width of highway and of any
other conditions than existing, and no
person shall drive any vehicle upon a
highway at such a speed as to endan-
ger the life, limb or property of any
person.”
“But the law goes even further than
that in regard to school zones.” said
Mr. Gable, “the motor code providing
that the speed limit of a motor vehicle
‘shall not exceed fifteen miles an hour
when passing a school during school
recess or while children are going to
or leaving school during opening or
closing hours.’ This latter clause places
the burden of responsibility of school
zone driving firmly on the shoulders
of the motorist. No ‘recess’ or ‘school
is out’ signs are required under the
law to warn the passing driver of the
fifteen mile limit, must a traffic
officer or school patrol be there to give
i I. The law puts it directly up
e car driver when entering a
school zone, whether on congested city
streets or on the open road to exert
sufficient ind caution to ascertain
t whether in
ol
nor
recess progress, or
ther children, are e: tering or leav-
i school and accordingly
with the speed limitations required by
the motor law.
“Many motorists are unfamiliar with
this clause, being under the impres-
sion that entitled to a forty
an hour speed on the open road
and to twenty miles in built-un dis-
under all circumstances. But
unfamiliarity with this provision ywill
not alter the circumstances for the
autoist who, failing to heed the school
zone limit, kills or injures a child. That
driver will be called on to bear the
full brunt of the burden.
