He applied his brakes. Pulling his car to the side of the road, he got out to investigate and found four boys who had been calmly walking in the line of traffic. "What do you fellows think you're doing," he asked, "walk- ing out here in the dark? I night have hit you." "Not with our reflective clothes on," the smallest boy spoke up. "We're safe at night with these on." "What do you mean, reflective clothes?" the driver demanded. "Didn't you see lights when the beam from your car hit us?" DOUBLE DELIGHT — Stop your squinting, because you're not seeing double.

The boys all stepped into the rays from his headlights. Im- mediately the tops of their caps, the stripes in their sport shirts, even the cuffs on one boy's sport jacket, took on bright gleams. They were the bobbing lights that had caused the driver to stop his car in plenty of time, "We're playing visible men," the little boys laughed. "Our clothes are made with reflective yarn. They're new and we're trying them out to prove drivers can see us in the dark" "You've got something all right, fellows," the driver had to admit. "But keep to the side of the road and make use of your reflective garments when you have to cross over." He went home and told his wife about the new clothing. The next day they went an a shop-. ping trip and found many types of clothing, well styled, which reflected light when headlights hit it, making the wearer visible to a driver hundreds of feet away. The bonus in such gar- ments was the fact that they looked no different from others in ordinary circumstances. They found a snowsuit for their Tittle daughter, sport shirts and jack- ets for the boys, a knit hat for mother and gloves for Dad him- self. Best of all, they found rain- wear for the whole family, even to umbrellas. They were told that the ele- ment in the new yarn is the same as that in reflective sheet- ing used during World War 11 to mark military supply routes, air- port runways and reflectorize life -raft paddles. It is made re- flective with millions of tiny lenses imbedecl' in the material, the same process that is used to make traffic signs visible to motorists at night. A number of leading manu- facturers are now producing re- flectorized garments for stores throughout the country, - Rabbits Nibbled Tops Off Trees An ever-present hazard in the Canadian Rockies is the forest fire. During the hot, dry summer a carelessly discarded cigarette - end, a smouldering camp fire, or even an old glass bottle intensi- fying the rays of the sun, may start a devastating forest fire. Forest Rangers and look -out men at high-altitude vantage points never relax their watch for the tell-tale wisp of smoke. Dangerous though they are, forest fires are not the only perils facing Rangers. In his book, "Smoke Over Sikinaska" the story of a Forest Ranger — J. S. Gowland relates a hair- raising experience he had while acting as look -out in a tiny log hut perched on the top of a 9,000 foot mountain. With the aid of powerful binoculars, he could keep an eye on well over 2,000 square miles of territory, But it also gave him an unwanted grandstand view Of all the might and energy of an electrical thunderstorm. The crashing of thunder seem- ed to make the mountain tremble; soon the whole atmos- phere was filled with a sulphur- ous smell, The cabin itself was well supplied with conductors, large copper strips leading down from each corner of the fan-like conductor on the roof, the strips earthing themselves through a thick cable running down 10 water 2,000 feet below. The light- ning played vividly round the conductors in a brilliant firework display, and on occasion the earthing cable, hefty as it was, glowed red with heat, Steam hissed angrily from the cable and rocks each time the lightning struck through the torrential rain. After the storm ended, the amount of electricity stored up inside the cabin was sufficient to cause a four -inch spark to jump from the handle of the door when the author went to turn it. Even the metal stove was "alive". The author liked his Forest Ranger's job, and loved nature; he records some delightful anec- dotes concerning the furry in- habitants Of his territory. One can visualize the look of disbe- lief on the face of a tourist who asked his guide what sort of creature gnawed the lofty trees oto clOse to their tops. "Rabbits," replied the guide truthfully. During the winter months heavy downfaljs of snow cover the ground almost to treetop height and provide a sufficiently firm surface to permit the snow" shoe rabbits to stand on their hand legs and feed off the upper leaves. Bears, with their amusing ha- bits and natural inquisitiveness, gave him quit a bit 0f fun. These amiable amblers are peaceful enough if treated with respect, but can be tough customers if annoyed. Even the youngsters carry a terrific punch. A party Of holidaymakers on a fishing expedition went off to fish, leaving in charge of the camp a heavily built dog., While they were away, a small brown bear invited himself in. Seeing at Once that his visit was un- welcome, the bear turned 'tail and fled, bellowing ferociously, with the hound in close pursuit. The young bear, realizing the futility of trying to outpace the snarling hound, suddenly slither- ed to a stop, whirled round, and struck the dog a mighty blow in the ribs that echoed through the forest. The rough dog went somersaulting over and 'over for several yards, picked himself up and made a bee -line back to the peace and quiet of the tent. An extremely enjoyable book, and the author's description of the grandeur and beauty of the Rockies is so vivid that the reader almost links arms with his guide step by step through- out his travels. A Curfew For Teen-age Drivers ? Should there be a midnight curfew on teen-age driving? This would be a drastic pro- posal, but unless milder res- traints have some effect there may be serious suggestions is this direction in the interests of safety. A group of state traffic and law enforcement officials con- ferred recently with Gov. Abra- ham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut. .Among several recommenda- „> tions resulting from the con- ference was one that parents should restrict the use of fam- ily cars by their children unless the youngsters returned home by midnight. This was based on the facts that although the Connecticut accident record is lower this year than last, the number of fatalities is higher, and that early morning crashes by teen- agers using family cars have contributed significantly to this total. Any parent with a teen- age driver or drivers in the family knows the difficulty of keeping control of the family car. It is a problem on which parents need the support of each other and perhaps of pub- 4.. lie officials. Some parents perhaps would welcome the backing of a law which ruled drivers of under 20 off the highway after 12 or 1 o'clock at night. This, however, would penalize many for the of- fenses of .a few. If extreme proposals are to be averted, the answer must be sought first in driver training with an emphasis on safe- ty, in resolute parental con- trol, and in a sense of responsi- bility—which in this motor age has to be acquired early or else some privileges becomes too costly for society to sustain.— From ustain.From The Christian Science Monitor.
