There was no fancy display, about it. In fact,’ it was in the want ad columns and I only, noticed it because it had been set in heavy | type. It went somehow like this: HERE IT IS AT LAST! ! ! BEAT A PATH TO OUR DOOR, FOLKS! ‘KILLIT' | « Minute Fiction IS GUARANTEED TO KILL RATS AN MICE, DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU FAIL TO KILL RODENTS AFTER FOLLOWING THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS! There followed a name and ad. dress, and a request to send one dol- | lar for a genuine ‘Killit’, The thing | was guaranteed. What could I lose? I took the paper to the kitchen | and showed the ad to Mary. She in- sisted that we didn't have any mice | or rats, but I said maybe not, but | | itswould be nice to have a guaran- up a dollar bill and stuck it in an | envelope and addressed it to the | Killit people and made a special trip to the post office to mail it. Ic i I showed the ad to Mary, but she insisted that we didn’t have any mice or rats. { ner Later I got to thinking about it. I hoped that Killit would not be a cat—we already had one cat, and there just isn’t room for another one in our two by four apartment, But then, they couldn’t send you a cat by mail, could they? ? I thought of a buddy of mine, Bill Stout. He was a chronic smoker— type. The world is his ashtray, He had already started by laying down cigarettes and forgetting where he’d put them. He had seen an ad in the paper for an ashtray guaranteed to snuff forgotten ciga- rettes. Just the thing for him. He'd ordered the thing, and when it came in the mail he had found out why it had been guaranteed—it had to be filled with water, How we'd all laughed at Bill for being caught by slick advertising. BS. how could a mousetrap be guaranteed to kill if it didn't do just that? No, I was safe enough from the hilarity of our growd, If I bought a lemon and the story hap- pened to leak out, I ould never hear the end of "it, particularly from Bill. I remember how mad he'd been when I laughed at him. But a mousetrap guaranteed to kill —there was no way of getting around it. I tried to figure out what the thing would be like. Basically a mousetrap doesn’t appear capable of much change. I mean to say, the thing we all know as a mousetrap is sound, and seems about the only way to go about catching mice short of running after them. That same Sunday night 1 had dreams about mousetraps. I'm one of those guys who can al- ways remember his dreams with crystal clarity. The mouse- traps I had entertained in my subconscious during the night, while they had seemed pretty good at the time, were complete washouts in the harsh light of day. Most of them were Rube Goldberg affairs, and none of them would have worked. 1 began to forget the beastly mousetrap though Mary didn’t. Ap- parently a workable idea had come to her while she was down at the and she had held up the line at the cashier’s counter by de- manding a piece of paper and. a pericil- -neither of which she ever has with her—and sketching out a detailed plan of the thing, deaf to the selfish barracking of the pushing assortment of waiting housewives, She brought it home, indignant at the attitude of the shopping public, and showed it to me. I said it would have been the best mousetrap to hit civilization yet, and where are you going to get ' the cyclatron to work it? We weren't kept in suspense too much longer. A package came in on the mail on the Wednesday or Thursday of the same week. It was very heavy, and had cost twenty- four cents to mail. We ripped it open and out came a flat slab of wood about six inches square and a piece of lead pipe a foot long. And a sheet of printed instructions which started out: Place the mouse or rat to be killed on the wooden block and strike it smartly behind the ears with the pipe. ... ae oe When in need of Printing.

Turnpike Radar Curbs Speeders: Safety Record Shows Improvement New Brunswick, N. J.—Radar is effectively curbing speeders on the New Jersey Turnpike and helping to improve the highways fine safety record. During 1953, the first year of radar’s use, the accident and fa- tality rate showed sharp reduc- tion. The fatality rate dropped 32 per cent, to levels far below those of parallel highways in New Jer- sey, and the nation’s highways as a whole. Radar was responsible for the apprehension of twice as many reckless drivers in 1953 as were apprehended by the entire detachment of State Police as- signed to the Turnpike in the pre- vious year. Scanning approaching traffic from varied positions on the state trooper’s car, the rectangular blac k radar box _€locks each ve- College Alumni ‘Group To Meet At Hostetters The Alum- Elizabethtown Col- hold the annual din- meeting at Hostetter’'s Ban- quet Iall, Mount Joy, Saturday April 24 at 6:30 p. m.

Troopers say that by the time a speeder has recognized the r radar car, it's too late —he's been clocked. Recently, one speeder was flagged down going north and south by the same trooper. “I'll never try it again,” he vowed as | he pocketed his second summons of the day. Revenues from all summonses issued by State Police on the Turnpike go to the State, and court costs to the municipality in which the violation is committed. Not one penny inures to the bene- fit of the Turnpike.
