"We won't do it." "We won't buy an armistice by trafficking in human slavery." Truman said it may not be known for some time whether the communists will back down on this demand—an apparent indication that he does not expect the truce negotiations to break off in the near future. Then he added: "We shall remain ready to reach honorable settlements by peaceful means:" The mother of Assembly Speaker Sam L. Collins is widely regarded as the grittiest grandma in the grandmia business. She goes to the beach with her grand daughter, Jodeane Collins, and is first in the water and first across the bay, although Jodeane is a strong swimmer. Grandma Collins always carries a nickel in her bathing suit on these transbay swims. It's for ferry fare, in case she decides to ride back. She never has spent that nickel. She was sitting in the rear seat of her son's car, working a crossword puzzle last Nov. 4, when Sam Collins and his wife were injured in a traffic crash. Grandma Collins came out of it with a broken foot. At Thanksgiving she had the foot in a big cast and was on crutches. Family dinner plans called for Grandma to rest easy in the rocker. But did she? Not on your life! Grandma Collins baked the Thanksgiving pies and cakes. Nobody else could do it, naturally. Born in Fortville, Ind., April 30, 1872, she has lived in California 50 years, nearly half of that time in Fullerton.

For Health, Eat California Pride Jaycee Teen-Age Driver Safety Campaign Is Planning for Future Death reaped a toll of 37,500 lives on the nation's highways last year—one of the four blackest years in traffic history. Public support organizations everywhere are asking "What else can we do to solve this critical problem?" The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce Safety committee has an answer: Through competition encourage teen-agers to become expert drivers today and thus produce safe drivers of tomorrow—"Our Biggest Hope is in Tomorrow's drivers." Working on this premise, the USJCC has developed a program designed to serve a two-fold purpose: 1. to make expert drivers out of the beginning teen-age motorists; 2. give credit to the teen-agers who already have become skillful drivers. The ultimate goal is to make all teen-age drivers take more pride in driving safely. The program is a National Teen-Age Road-e-o that will give youngsters an opportunity to test their driving ability in a driving contest. It will be sponsored by the USJCC and the Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. The first annual Road-e-o will be held Aug. 21 and 22 of this year in Washington, D.C. The Jaycees will direct the contest on the local, state and national levels. Each teen-age entrant will be given a written quiz and competitive driving test. Actual road checks will be given at any local CARE formation regarding tions in the areas it will be travelling.
