...people a year are killed on the roads of the U.S., this is a bad situation. On the other hand, to blame it solely on the automobile is very unfair. We have always built safe cars, but that is not to say that we can't make them safer, and that is what we do every model year." In any discussion of safety, continued Ford, "the driver is the most important factor, because if you drive safely, accidents won't happen. Certainly the roads are an important part.

...will take some time for the MDC to erect new poles on both sides of the river. And if none of the new poles are closer to the bridge than the ones constructed last week, the MDC's plan will do little to make the Weeks Bridge any safer...

In all likelihood, the Government will be empowered to order that all cars have more padding, fewer knobs, fire-resistant upholstery, safer glass and door locks-and to fine the domestic manufacturers $1,000 per violation (or countless millions on a year's production of a major model), and to seize foreign autos that fail to meet the standards...
Other chemicals are also gaining status as decay preventives. Zirconium salts have been suggested by some researchers, but they appear to be too poisonous for general use. Phosphates are safer and more promising, and several communities are trying the addition of dicalcium phosphate to cereals and bread. Even the most skeptical investigators at the National Institute of Dental Research now believe that decay may be arrested in its earliest stages by painting the teeth with a solution containing tricalcium phosphate and potassium fluoride...

A safer design, used in Scandinavia, has a slender sensing tip, similar to the American, but then broadens out to a flat shank, thick enough to prevent too deep a penetration. The best the A.M.A. can suggest is that nurses and mothers be instructed in how to insert a thermometer correctly, and told never to leave a child or a debilitated patient alone with the thermometer in place...
