Obey Headlight Rules
To See And Be Seen
The distance the driver can see ahead is greatly reduced
at night under the best of driving conditions. Speed must
be reduced to the point where the vehicle can be brought
to a stop within the danger zone when the pedestrian or
any driving hazard is anticipated or illuminated by the
headlights.
The same rule applies to day-^77
light driving under any condition
of reduced visibility—rain, fog,
snow, dust. The cardinal rule is
this—when in doubt, switch on
the headlights, low beam, at any
time of day.
Headlights must be turned on
during the period from one-half
hour after sunset to one-half hour
before sunrise or at any other

REVIEW
THE TREASURE OF OUR
TONGUE
by Barnett
This is the story of English
from its obscure beginning to its
present eminence as the most
widely spoken language on earth.
The book ends with a highly con-
troversial discussion of the fu-
ture of the English language and
of current advocates of modern
teaching methods.
DREADNOUGHT
by Hough
A history of the modern battle-
ship tells the story of the wonder
of the Edwardian Age. Mighty,
magnificent, overwhelmingly pow-
erful in her size, speed, her ten
12-inch guns, and her protection
of armor, she was the very stuff
of imperialism. Not only was. the
launching of H.M.S. Dreadnought
the most important naval event
leading up to the First World
War, her construction aroused in-
ternational curiosity.
times when weather conditions do
not permit the driver or pedes-
trian to see clearly.
Icelandic Traffic Rules
In addition, Icelandic traffic
regulations specify exact inter-
vals throughout the year when
vehicle headlights shall be illumi-
nated. While these hours are man-
datory for the minimum use of
headlights, hours indicated as day-
light are guidelines only, and any
degree of decreased visibility war-
rants earlier operation of lights.
The following list is a schedule

ifying the period of headlight

How To Mail
Record Tapes
For those mailing recorded tapes
to the United States, here are
some suggestions from L. P. John-
son, acting deputy commissioner
of the Bureau of Customs:
“Packages containing recording
tapes should be clearly marked on
both sides so that the customs
inspector will be aware of the
contents and it will permit him
to take precautions from damaging
the tape. It is also suggested that
such tapes be well-padded and
mailed in in a wooden or metal
box.”
For added safety, tapes should
be wrapped in aluminum foil,
just in case they should inad-
vertantly be x-rayed since x-rays
can erase tapes.

Defense Department Clamping Down On
Firms Using False Selling, Credit Policies
The admen and copywriters of Madison Avenue do not always walk the straight and
narrow path of truth when it comes to advertising. Some of them, as in other business
fields, often go astray by tainting an ad with double meaning and half-truths.
A typical advertisement might appear in a service newspaper stating that you can
purchase a certain item for practically no money down and only so much a month.
But, for how many months? Who®

Pentagon Steps In
Still, the old phrase, “Let the
buyer beware” is in effect for
some companies who employ such
advertising and selling procedures.
The Pentagon has decided to
combat this problem by ordering
into effect strong rules to protect
servicemen from being gouged on
purchases and credit terms.
A directive just issued declares
that the Defense Department re-
jects the “Let the buyer beware”
doctrine so far as servicemen are
concerned. Instead, the observance
of the doctrine “Let the seller
make full disclosure” will be em-
ployed by persons doing business
with the serviceman and his fa-
mily.
Safeguards Serviceman
The order to be effective in 90
days was signed by Deputy Se-
cretary of Defense Cyrus Vance.
It is aimed at safeguarding ser-
vicemen from exorbitant credit
terms, and other abuses. It applies
to any firms which want to solicit
and sell goods, services or com-
modities at defense installations,
including military housing areas.
The directive says the objective
is to: “Safeguard and promote the
welfare and interests of members
of the Armed Forces as consumers,
with special emphasis on the ser-
viceman’s rights to safety, to be
informed, to choose and to be
heard.” (AFRTS)
