L* Christmas Traffic Dangers Listed “Don’t let Death take your holiday-or cause it to take anyone else’s,” said John T. Hanna, Director of the Virginia Highway Safety Division, today as, what he twined, the most dangerous days of the year approached. Hanna said studies show that three out of four fatal crashes at Christmastime involve speed too fast for conditions or above the posted limits. He added that while alcohol, on the average, figures in at least half of all fatal crashes, the percentage rises sharply during the Christmas-New Year period. He quoted the National Safety Council in saying that during five major holiday periods last year, the mileage death rate ran 12 percent higher than normal. The four-day Christmas holiday saw 755 traffic deaths nationally, 15 of which occurred in Virginia. Virginia contributed 15 more to the Nation’s 600 during the New Year holiday. “Keep your car well under nu'Mriurtt; RCHS Bows To Stonewall Jackson RCHS basketball teams met defeat Friday night when they met Stonewall Jackson on the Stonewall court.

Maury Nichols, a starting guard for the Panthers, was ejected in the second quarter leaving six in (Continued on page 9) control, drive ^defensively and always wear your seatbelt,” he said and advised that at this time of year both pedestrians and drivers are prone to be inattentive and many, particularly in the evenings, have been drinking. Hanna also felt it wise to curtail night driving as much as possible during the period. “The mileage death rate normally is about three times as high as that of day,” he continued. “Of the 6,400 pedestrians killed in the Nation last year, 3,500 were struck at night.” Record Number of Silver Weddings The end of World War II, which occurred just 25 years ago, has special meaning for many married couples in Rappahannock County. For it was right afterward, in 1946, that they and some 2,300,000 other couples in the United States descended upon their marriage bureaus in a rush to get licenses to wed. It was the biggest marrying year of all time. Never before then or since have so many couples marched up the aisles. The great majority of them, having escaped divorce and death in the intervening years, are now ready to celebrate their silver wedding anniversaries. Of the 930 or so married couples who are now living in Rappahannock County, approximately 40 of them, a record number, will be marking their 25 years of marriage in 1971. Incidentally, for local stores selling silverware, crystal and other gift items, the celebrations that will take place are expected to generate a fair amount of new business. On the basis of government statistics and reports from insurance companies, the likelihood that a couple will survive and be together to celebrate their silver anniversary has increased greatly in recent decades, notwithstanding the high divorce rate. For the average 23-year-old groom in Rappahannock County who takes a bride four years younger than himself, the probability is greater than 8 out of 10 that they will celebrate their silver anniversary 25 years hence. Even for men who marry as late as 35, the chances of a 25th anniversary are better than 7 out of Id, accortflng to the'^rierar average. Similarly, a greater proportion of married couples than ever before are living to celebrate their golden wedding anniversaries. For the typical young couple now entering marriage, the odds in favor are better than 1 out of 3, which is more than double what they were 50 years ago. In Rappahannock County, the figures show, the population is very marriage-minded. No less than 62 percent of the men and women over age 14 are married, a relatively high proportion. Bank Notice The Farmere and Merchants National Bank in Flint Hill will close at noon on Thursday, December 24, open for business on December 28. C K vJHk I A new elate of officers recently elected by the Amisevllle Ruritan Club were installed at the meeting of this group last Wednesday night. L. J. Davis, right, presided at the installation, left to right, Ruasell Heckley, three year director; Charlie Priest, treasurer; Ted Settle, secretary; John Gillispie, vice president. Citizens Meet In Protest to Power Line A group of citizens met Friday night at Washington to discuss the high voltage transmission power line proposed by Potomac Edison Company which would go through Rappahannock County. Sixty odd people attended to hear the pros and cons of such a line. Philip Irwin of Flint Hill chaired the meeting and was subsequently named as chairman of a committee to further the study on a workable alternative and the legal aspects of a defense to the line. Mr. Irwin had done some background research on such a project and stated that underground installation costs were rather prohibitive and could only run underground for 25 miles. Maintenance for these lines was alalso much more costly. Other types of transmissions are in the laboratory and testing stages, but that would not solve any problem today. Rights of way were discussed and Mr. Irwin informed the group that for a 135 KV line, the right of way is 125 feet wide and for a 500 KV line, 200 feet width is required, or a total of 24 acres to a mile. The use this land may be put to after a line is run through is for growing Christmas trees or orchards, pasture or crops. It was stated that 84 land owners in Rappahannock will be directly affected by the line, many of whom were apparently not at the meeting. A committee composed of Mr. Irwin, George H. Davis Jr., Mrs. Miriam Harris, Tom Massie, Tree Lighted ___ The Christmas tree for the Town of Washington was officially lighted last Tuesday evening. The beautifully illuminated large evergreen is located on the lot between the fire house and Rappahannock National Bank. The tree was trimmed in celebration of the Holy Season and for the pleasure of all who pass. It is indeed regrettable that someone finds pleasure in taking bulbs from the tree and smashing them on the sidewalk. Please, let us reconsider and conduct ourselves in a proper manner. z*. -JZ+.

Kenyon, Jr. Game Warden With hunting pressure falling off during the past few weeks the total deer kill has not increased greatly over that period. The total number of deer that have been taken tfnd checked here now stands at 1Q4. Again this does not account for those deer checked in adjoining counties.

If you are expecting two or three neighborhood small fry to drop in, you can be sure six will show up. And three toys and six children do not enhance “Peace on Earth”. Did ^ou remember...to check the Christmas tree lights? Not day before yesterday. Not last week. We mean right now. A few stores are still open and you can supply new ones. Better pick up a few more ornaments. Did you remember...that you told all those people to drop in for refreshments tonight? Better check on the cake, cookies, soft drinks and other goodies. Did you remember...those last minute Christmas cards? If not, you can send telegrams to friends too far away for cards to reach them by December 25. You can even have a messenger to call at your house while the guests you invited in for snacks are there, and probably everybody will remember someone far away who should have a Christmas greeting. Did you remember...to hang some kind of Christmas decorations outside the house, so passing strangers may enjoy some of the Christmas glow that is in your home and reflect it around your town? Remember everyone has a part in this Christmas cheer, not just your small circle, and the more cheer you scatter, the more you will gather.

On each night for nine nights family members or guests walk from room to room knocking on doors. Hardhearted “innkeepers” refuse them entrance. But on Christmas Eve doors are flung wide. Candles blaze and all sing the praises of the Lord. Children smash the pinata, a hollow pottery animal figure that showers them with gifts and candy. An Angel brings toys to some Swiss children. Italian youngsters look forward to the visit of Befana, the old woman who carries treats to the good and ashes to the bad. The youngest camel of those which carried the Wise Men brings gifts in southern Syria. Children leave bowls of water and wheat for the little animal. Christians in Iran fast from the first of December. They eat no meat, milk, or eggs until the fast is broken with a splendid meal on Christmas Eve. Armenians Eat Spinach , Most holiday diners relish fancy foods, but Armenians favor boiled spinach. They believe that the Virgin Mary ate the greens the night before the birth of Christ. Englishmen of the Middle Ages set the style for lavish Yule feasts. At one Christmas dinner, King Henry III served up 600 oxen. His guests finished off the meal with salmon pie and roast peacock, washing it down with brew from a wassail bowl bobbing with apples, toast, and roast crabs. Swedes begin the season with a modest but more colorful meal.

S. population that’s under 30 you may think social security is something remote and unimportant to you right now. Not so, according to Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton, social security district manager for Winchester. “In this generally healthy and youthful group, nearly 2-1/2 million people receive benefits because they are disabled or are dependent upon disabled workers. Over 3 million widowed mothers and young children get monthly social security checks as survivors of workers,” Mrs. Crumpton stated “Half a million students age 18 to 22 and a| quarter of a million people who became disabled in childhood get monthly benefits as the children of retired, deceased, or disabled Workers,” she went on. “Disabled children get social security benefits as long as they are not able to work.” “The money in cases like these is important, of course,” Mrs. Crumpton added. “But for the young worker who knows that his family will be at least partially provided for should he be injured or die prematurely, there is also peace of mind.” Deeds Recorded Mabel Brandon (formerly Wentworth) to Theodore G.

The book serves as a guide for personnel of the department and the approximately 600 contractors with whom it does business. The specifications reflect the agency's continuing concern for strengthening its environmental regulations, which In lab/ wen cited by federal transportatioi officials as a model for othei states. Most of the revisions have beer in effect through department regulations for several years, bul this is the first edition of “Roac and Bridge Specifications” ir which they have appeared. One new specification deal! with reduction of pollutant emissions from bituminous mixing plants. The department believes it will have the effect ol significantly reducing such emissions; but in areas where local jurisdictions have more stringent requirements than the Highway Department’s, local |rules will apply.

SS Destroying Inactive Files The Selective Service System is destroying the inactive files of almost twenty-six million overage registrants in a cost-saving and effectiveness program designed to avoid what Draft Director Curtis W. Tarr has called the slow strangling of Selective Service on bureaucratic papers and records. Tarr, now in Vietnam meeting with draftees, has said that the chances of the records ever being needed for mobilization purposes are so slight that the expense, space and staff necessary to maintain them cannot be justified. After obtaining the permission of the Archivist of the United States, Tarr recently ordered the destruction of most records foi registrants over the age of 35 and those of registrants over the age of 26 who have completed theii military obligation, have hardship i 11« *2?

Dual Inspection of Milked Shipped Washington -- Dual inspection >f Virginia milk shipped into the District of Columbia will end lune 30, 1971, by terms of a bill expected to receive final Congressional action before the session ends, according to Rep. John O. Marsh, Jr. The measure, including provisions of a bill introduced by Marsh, was tacked onto the District of Columbia revenue authorization and passed by the House on Monday. Because the revenue bill for the Nation’s Capital is considered an essential item, the Senate is likely to clear it, and there has been no significant opposition to the milk-inspection provisions which already have been approVed once by the Senate, Marsh said. Virginia dairy farmers have complained about difficulties in attempting to comply with varying requirements of Virginia and District inspectors, and [existing law does no^permit the District of Columbia Health Department to honor Virginia inspections, Marsh explained.

Chrutmas Seal Fund Campaign Lags Residents of the eight northernmost Virginia counties Pave contributed f$37,760.55 as of Monday to the annual Christmas Seal Campaign. “Our goal of $45 650 lacks $7,890 of being reached,” says W. Lawson Cowart, president of the Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association of Northern! Virginia. “In the rush of holiday festivities, it is easy to overlook one letter, but those letters overlooked pile up for us into a deficit that can seriously hamper the nursing education program, the number of Health Adventures we can give the schools, the amount of money going to research in emphysema - all of which are a part of the Association’s work in the coming year. “Christmas Seals are a reminder that life and breath go together. Christmas Seals are also a reminder that your TB and RD Association needs your support to help preserve that life and breath.” President Cowart urged residents to send their contributions as soon as possible to help support the 1971 program in the fight against respiratory diseases and air pollution and sent “Wishes to all for a joyous holiday season and a healthy, happy New Year.” The breakdown by Counties is: Clarke Fauquier Loudoun Frederick Page Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren $2,082.59 5,782.56 7,064.46 8,961.65 3,322.29 891.50 4.820.25 4.835.25 Discovery May Save On Lake Fertilizer The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries may save up to half of the current cost of fertilizing some 10 state lakes by using a different formula ol fertilizer instead of the 20-20-E Lake, fertilizer now used,, report District Fisheries Biologist tarville S. Prosser, who just :ompleted a two year study of .he available formulas. Prosser’s esearch indica ted "that liammonium phosphate [21-53-0) used at about half of Die regular rate for 20-20-5 produced the same increase in fish food and its effects lasted onger. The diammonium phosphate is a crystaline chemical which dissolves almost instantly, J factor that Prosser and others involved in the research think may be largely responsible for its effectiveness. The research was carried out at the Game Commission’s Lake □ range facility. Lake water confined in plastic tubes immersed in the lake was treated regularly with precisely calculated quantities of all major fertilizer formulas. An oxygen meter was used periodically to measure the amount of oxygen given off from each tube and the oxygen served as a measure of the photosynthetic activity taking place in the plankton. If the savings in fertilizer costs are realized as it appears they will be, the cost of the research will be recovered within three years. The new formula is to be tried in as many state lakes as supplies of the chemical will permit next /ear. The only present known source is the Smith Douglas Division of the Borden Company. An application of 17 pounds per acre will be used, simplifying hauling and application, instead | of the former 45 pounds per acre. Research will be continued concentrating on various liquid fertilizer compounds which may prove even more effective if a formula which will not upset the lake pH acidity balance can be found. <5 *'* 5 5 § y t a>» a?

The Christmas Eve Catherine presents a breath taking spectacle, for even/ sinner carries a lighted candle. The Christmas of 11)70 will mark the 32nd anniversary of Melbo urn's great carol event, "Carols fit/ Candlelight" as it is known. Recently, the Yale Catherine has been tied in with a charitable U)>pcal in behalf of sick and disabled youngsters-. Whi n help for these unfortunates was first sought, the response was only a trickle of contributions. Later, money poured in such a flood that a whole new hospital unit for children teas built at a cost of 300.000 frounds The crouds at this years "Carols lit/ Candlelieht arc certain to be bigger than ever. The lure of that vast assemblance is irresistable. Everybody comes, regardless of race, religious or social position.

A gift that arrives broken should be returned to the store — not to the person who sent the present. f “Luininanas and Pinatas Possibly the two best known ornaments from the Southwest that have spread in popularity to other parts of the country are luminaries and pinatas.

The pinata is a colorful and whimsical creation of crepe and tissue papers made into hollow forms to resemble birds, animals, (lowers — any shape that comes to mind. The pinata is filled with candy and toys and suspended on a rope. Blindfolded children get three whacks each at trying to break the pinata with a stick to make the concealed treasures come tumbling out. For the Spanish descendants who came to the Southwest by way of Mexico, the Christmas season begins with the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12th and continues through La Navidad, Christmas Day. PUZZLE-UPS ... An enlarged version of “Puzzle-Ups” shows how this educational toy challenges and rewards children by testing their learning ability. Since all pieces in each puzzle in the set are inserted at different heights, and since all pieces can be moved, eyes rotate, wheels revolve, clock faces change. Children combine enjoyment with practice in manual dexterity. Cookies Add Flavor To Happy Holidays C is for cookies — The nicest Christmas trees ever are those trimmed with garlands of popcorn and cranberries and home made cookies. It’s an old-fashioned idea that few mothers take time for any more. Even if you prefer your tree laden with tinsel and lights and expensive ornaments, don’t overlook the joy of making cookies for Christmas. It adds a warm and hospitable aroma to the house and gives children an inner happiness that can never be bought or forgotten. The Word "Yule" Has Pagan Origins The ancient northern Europeans, acutely conscious of the peregrinations of the Sun, formed definite theories about it. They thought the sun was a wheel revolving around the earth, and they observed that on one particular day in midwinter its appearance and disappearance marked the shortest day of the year. This cycle was known to them as the Hweol, and it was a time of celebrating. i CULPEPER PLANING MILL Culpeper, Va. Pageants and programs at Rappahannock County Elementary School portray the events of the Holy Season during an assembly held Tuesday. The group of angels hover over the manger scene as the animals in the stable stand by, in the picture above. Below, a Heavenly Host with stars aglow were in the spotlight also. The assembly included presentations from grades one through six and Mrs. David Blauvelt, music instructor, directed the chorus and singing. As the pagan Yule celebrations were replaced by the feast of Christmas, the ^ festival season extended from Christmas Eve to the Feast of the Epiphany. This meant that the Yule log had plenty of time, big as it used to be, to flame and flicker before the last of it had smoldered to ashes. In the agricultural economy of the pre-Civil War South here in our own country, the Yule log was the means of procuring a true holiday for the field hands. There was on many plantations an accepted unwritten rule that the slaves would not have to work outdoors so long as the Yule log was alight. The workers would take advantage of this custom, Sing hey!

Christmas in the West in the1850s The famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted was visiting far from home, in Texas during the Christmas season in the early 1850 s. Evidently his preconceived impressions of the wild West bore out. In his diary he noted that from his hotel window he could see the Christmas Eve celebration in San Augustine was noisy and boisterous. The town only had about 50 houses and 12 shops, but its citizens gathered ; into>a band of- sorenaders ■ who went about the small village beating on tin pans and being very boisterous. This was in sharp contrast to Olmsted’s New England upbringing. Throughout Texas and the West, Christmas Day was often spent in wild turkey shoots, followed by a tremendous feast with the bird as featured fare. IRISH LEGEND. IVY AND THE WINE GOD The term “Bacchanalian revelry” often applies to holiday celebrations. Ivy is intertwined in the history of Bacchus, for ivy was the Wine God’s crown. Legend tells how it was introduced into Ireland. When Bacchus was traveling through the western lands he visited Ireland, and fell in love with its lush green, charm and beauty. When the time came for him to leave the country, he decided to plant the ivy as a living souvenir of his affection for the Emerald Isle. Kitchen Is Most Dangerous Room Blacksburg—The lady who is always safe at home either spends no time in her kitchen or is living a charmed life. Research indicates the kitchen is one of the most dangerous rooms in the house. But, It does not have to be so. Wanda Golden, Virginia Tech extension specialist in housing, who dubbed the kitchen “the most dangerous room in the house,” described it as a combination factory, bakery, cannery, butcher shop, restaurant, household workshop and a childrens' playground. “Here is the place for the family to put into practice all each member knows about safety," she said. Stressing safety as an attitude, Miss Golden went on, “Safety is a sincere concern for the well-being of oneself and others. It is a willingness to accept rules and regulations and to apply them in ui activities. • A safe kitchen, starts with the development and practice of good habits in the selection, preparation, serving arid storage af food. Safety continues its march to actuality as long as the family members observe strict rules designed to prevent Tires and mishaps. “Matches should be kept in metal containers. Gas burners should be lit by holding a lighted match to the burner before turning on the gas. Trays, pot holders, and plastic or wooden utensils should not be placed on electric range units which could be hot without showing red,” Miss Golden pointed out. She also suggested th&t range burners should not be turned on until they are needed. And, they should be turned off as quickly as they are not needed. Such flammable items as waxed paper, towels, cleaning agents and other combustibles should be kept away from the range. Pan handles should be turned to the rear or the side of the range in an effort to prevent the possible scalding of one who accidently bumps into them. A supply of dry, thick pot-holders should be on hand for use with hot objects. “A fire extinguisher should be a part of every kitchen, and each responsible family member should know how to use it,” Miss Golden indicated. When using the oven, pans and other utensils should be placed or removed by pulling out the rack. It saves a lot of hand and arm bums,” Miss Golden warned. Grease Tires can be smothered with salt, soda or a pan lid. The best control is to not let them start in the Tirst place. “An important safeguard against disaster is to train the children not to touch the range or its controls,” emphasized Miss Golden.

Judkins, Virginia Tech extension horticulturist.) Blacksburg—The United States Department of Agriculture seems to hqve published another best seller. Its new yearbook, “Contours of Change” presents a spectacular pictorial and written review of agricultural progress during the last 50 years. The introduction of labor saving equipment in this country has reduced the number of man hours required per year in fanning from 23 billion in 1930 to seven billion in 1968. When you consider the use of improved species and varieties of plants and animals, the output per man hour has increased about five times. Farming is a way of life which still involves considerable independence of action, in a relatively unpolluted environment. Rural living now offers most of he advantages previously found >nly in metropolitan areas, plus nore opportunities for healthful, Hitdoor recreation. The great masses of consumers ire the principal benefactors of :he improvements in the ifficiency and economy of igricultural production. The quality of fruits and vegetables, available on the market, has increased rapidly during recent decades. These products have excellent flavor, almost no damage by diseases or insects, and are the most healthful the world has ever known. The improved quality is obtained, and errors in human judgement are eliminated, by using laboratory instruments and chemical tests. For example, the color of tomatoes is very important when used for juice or ketchup. Automatic equipment is now used to determine the color and grade of the fruit before processing, to assure a uniform, high quality product. All types of fruits and vegetables are more carefully harvested, graded, and stored, than ever before. New processed products are being developed continually to simplify the planning of menus, and to make dining a real pleasure. Some disturbing views are presented on the very inadequate food and housing conditions in some of the poorer nations of the world. The United States is playing a major role in supplying food to underdeveloped countries. We are also helping them adopt new production practices which will help make them more self-sufficient. Our exports of farm products now amount to nearly seven billion dollars each year. This has a desirable effect on our balance of payments in foreign trade. And a Christmas draper t?.

Flynt, Secretary December 15, 1970 br c_i inil hristmas thoughts with you. Since no one knows the actual birthday of the Christ, let’s |celebrate each day of the year for fear we miss it. We expect too much of Christmas Day, we try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. Christmas is not just a date, it is a state of mind. Hay is a better Christmas symbol than tinsel, it does not glitter, but its scent sends our thoughts back to the real and simple things of life. Peace and Goodwill is not just a language to be used at this season. It is not sigh for what might have been; it is a cry for what eventually must be. Eventually man will not limit the joys and blessings of Christmas to one part of the year done. The uplifting experience we enjoy for a relatively short time may eventually become a natural way of life. While we are enjoying the carnival attitude of the seaons let’s pause and think of what it is ill about. We celebrate His birthday only once a year, so while it might not be the actual iate, we ARE celebrating. HIS BIRTHDAY In Memoriam In memory of my husband, James W.

The money in these trust funds can be used only to pay benefits and the cost of administering the social security program,” she said. The largest share goes to the Old-Age and Survivolfc Insurance Trust Fund. Of each $1 in social security contributions, this fund receives 76 cents. In 1969, payments of over $24 billion were made from this fund to retired men and women, to widows and widowers, to widowed mothers, and to dependent children. About 12V4 cents out of each $1 in contributions goes to the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund to finance the hospital and other health expenses of the people who are now 65 and those who will join their ranks in the future. “The Disability Insurance Trust Fund get 11 lh cents from each $1 in social security contributions. Last year, this program paid out $2.5 billion to disabled workers and their families. This protection is vitally important to young workers,” Mrs. Crumpton emphasized. “To most young people,” she said, “social security is something to count on in your retirement years. No one expects to become disabled - to have his earnings cut off in mid-career or even before he is well started. But an accident or a disabling illness can happen to anyone.” Almost a million and a half workers under 65 are collecting monthly social security benefits because of severe disability, she pointed out, along with over a million dependents. If a young worker should become disabled or die, he noted, benefits to his family could amount to $50,000 or more over the years. “Your social security contribution and the matching contribution of your employer is not just for retirement For Christmas - a • Gift of Creativity ; CANDLE MAKING-STAINED GLASS DECORATIONS - BISQUE & PLASTER WARE FINISHING and Other Crafts and Projects.

P. Judkins, Virginia Tech ixtension horticulturist.) Blacksburg - Do you remember when oranges were so rare that they were inserted as a special treat in the toe of your Christmas stocking? How times have changed. This wonderful berry is now one of the most important fruits in the worldDoes it shake you a bit for me to call it a berry? This is its correct botanical classification, believe it or not. A berry, to set the record straight, is a fruit which is soft all the way through. Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit and lemons are a special type of berry with a leathery rind, but they are still berries. And to pursue this a bit farther, many of the fruits we eat are berries. These include bananas, blueberries, cranberries, dates, grapes, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, muskmelons and watermelons. But, back to oranges. This fine fruit originated in southeast Asia, several thousand years ago. The earliest known written record is a Chinese treatise dated 1174. Columbus brought oranges to Haiti on his second voyage in 1493. The first plantings in Florida were made in 1565 in the St. Augustine area. Production has expanded rapidly and this year the crop, in Florida will exceed 175 million boxes. Orange fruits are present on the tree for 12 to 16 months. Thus, the flowers for the next crop appear before the current crop is harvested. Most other fruit trees bloom in the spring and ripen the crop a few months later in the summer or fall Oranges remain in a satisfactory TOLSON’S TILE Over 16 years experience In Ceramic Tile & Quarry Slate New construction, remodeling or repairs.

By order of the Rappahannock County School Board Irvin R. Kilby, Chairman E. O. Kirby, Clerk stage of maturity for a long time * on the tree. Whereas most fruits t must be picked within a few days 1 after they are ripe, oranges may be harvested over a period of1 several months. 1 This long period of maturity * helps to reduce the problems of c harvesting and marketing the * crop. Apples and potatoes must * be held in storage for many months to supply the fresh 1 market. Oranges usually are sent ( immediately to the processing * plant or wholesale distributor, * without the need for expensive refrigerated storage. . The orange is different from I other fruits because the edible part is a mass of juice-filled sacs, j and not a dense, pulpy product. Small amounts of the rind are used for candied strips and marmalade, but the sweet, tangy Jj juice is the principal reason for ? growing this fruit. : It is obvious that oranges are a 1 very important item in our diet v because the consumption per 8 person at present is over 80 : pounds per year. This also 1 indicates our liking for 8 convenience foods because about three-fourths of this consumption J is in the juice form. . Orange juice is an excellent 1 source of vitamin C and is c probably the most popular 8 breakfast appetizer. With the 1 large crops of oranges which are now being produced, the price 8 should remain at an economical ‘ level. So, we can all drink up and 8 stay healthy. ‘ Youth Enriched £ Through 4-H j Blacksburg—Whether the nine c to 19-year old Virginia boy or girl ® lives in the city, suburb or rural 1 area, he or she can be enriche^ I through a 4-H activity.

Smith, Jr. Director, Public Information How Much Time Blacksburg - How much time is even-tenths of a second? Not very long. But, according 0 Easley S. Smith, extension pecialist in farm machinery at Virginia Tech, seven-tenths of a econd is all the time available to 1 farm tractor operator whose init has started to rear backwards inder full throttle. Within that time, he can still le-throttle his engine to stop the earing. Beyond that fraction of ;ime there is no stopping and earing and ultimate upset. And inless the operator is thrown dear, or can possibly jump clear, le is pinned or crushed to suffer lerious injury or death. Or maybe he is one of the ucky ones whose tractor had a roll-bar. “Of a national annual toll of about 1,000 lives because }f tractor accidents, some 600 are lue to tractor overturns,” Smith explained. “Many of them can be irevented through the exercise of sensible driving practices.” Sidewise upsets occur when tractors are driven too close to ditches, holes or embankments. Backward flips occur when tractor-implement hitches are set at a point higher than the center of the rear axle, or when tlje load exceeds the tractor’s power to move it. At such times the tractor employs its own power to create the rearing and backward flipping motion. Smith disclosed an unusual reason for some tractor accidents. “It is difficult for dealers to sell safety promotion attachments for tractors. That is because the tractor buyer, before he accepts the offer, dislikes identifying himself as the victim of a potential accident and as the cause of it. This, he is reluctant to do.” There are attachments like roll bars which serve to lower the accident toll. A roll-over bar, sometimes called a protective frame, can be designed to serve as a crush-resistant cab to provide operator comfort. But its primary purpose is to protect the operator from serious injury in the event the tractor tips. “Many a capsized tractor was prevented from tipping more than 90 degrees because a roll bar was there to stop it. And many a tractor operator was spared seripus injury because he was strapped into the tractor seat when a roll bar bore the weight and bulk of a tractor that reared and fell over backwards.” Safety specialists estimate the yearly toll of 600 lives lost to overturns can be reduced by some 450 through the use of rol) bars.
