j CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS f
1 By BILLY GOODWIN, Chowan Senior I-H Member
...I ———l
I am sure that all who read this
nrtlclf will want to he alive next
Christman. Many people will never
live tp see another Christmas be
cause) of an accident this Christ
mas. ' There are many ways that
these" unlucky people will die, hut
the highest rate will be on the
highway.
Retjently S-D Day was observed.
This Safe Driving Day was set for
only one day. S-D Days can and
should he observed at other times. I
Speeding and drunken driving are
the main causes of highway acci
dents. You can never tell when
the other driver is under the in
fluence of alcoholic drinks. Near
time there is more drink-
end when under the influence
of drinks, these drivers cannot
drive as good as they can when
they are not drinking. Please, if
you are going to drink, get some
one else who is not drinking to
drive your car or else stay off the
highway. When driving, whether |
drinking or not, die not speed, on
the highway. Remember, speed:lk
the npmber one highway killer.
Many people will lie killed c>r in
jured in other types of accidents. |
'Many oeoble will be hunting dur-,
ire the da vs before and after!
Christmas. When you; are hunting,
you should always tie sure of what
you are shooting at before you
shoot. Just recently you might
have read in the paper where a
man was hunting and someone be- :
gam shooting it rifle toward him.
He had to tie down and then just
barely missed being shot. Another
man got his arm shot recent ly in j
this same area. The accidents,
could have hcen prevented. It’s up
to ‘he hunter to prevent these.
Many hunters may plan on build- '
jr~ a five to warm or to: cook their
meals. When you build fires, be
sure that there is no dead grass
or dry brush near the fire that :
might catch fire from the original j
one and bum the entire woods,
■pvt. fire would not only kill the 1
ga— o in this area, but could seri
ous’-- miu re someone who could not
gp* away from the roaring flames.
.Mann: fires are caused by careless
hn-'-e-s. When hunting, always re- '

will be a lot of firecrackers shot.
If not properly handled these can
' beeomp dangenws. It is fun to I
pop firecrackers, hut you have to be I
careful to have any fun. Don’t
hold a firecracker in yniur hand af
ter you have ignited it.‘
In trying to prevent' accidents I
around Christmas, let’s remember I
the following safety ruins:
1. Never drive a ear when under
the influence of alcoholic drinks.
| 2. Don't speed on the highway.
ii. He; on the lookout for care
less drivers.
1. He sure .of what you are shoot
ing at before you shoot.
5. Unload yuur gun before eivss
, mg fences or ditches.
6. Don’t build fires where a for
est fire might start.
.7. Never hold firecrackers in
your hand after lighting them. 1

SCIENCE IN R

Vegetable Virtues
1 The legions of Rome probably con
sumed more cabbage per capita than
any other army in history. While
this ancient partiality to the leafy
■ vegetable may not impress students
I of military logistics, modern medi
cal scientists find
ejjgjt it significant. For
-CJL the Roman warri
z' ors favored cab
f.A j; bage not for its
I’ i pungent flavor,
V I’wizyiwA but as a dressing |
Vb-djuf ' for battle wounds. !
V In the light of ;
* recent discoveries, .
Cdt tjy gjjj such age-old herb- !
al remedies may
have been more
effective -than scientists once be
lieved One U S. physician reports
that raw cabbage iuice is rich in a
substance believed to tie helpful in
healing stomach ulcers. Substances
I deadly to many kinds of germs have
" been found in other vegetables, in
cluding carrots, okra, cucumbers
and onions.
Some common fruits, too, contain
microbe killers One tropical fruit |
known as jagua has been used as a
medicine for centuries by Carribean :
peoples. Researchers at the Univer- j
I sity of Puerto Rico recently isolated
j an extract from, the iagua which |
hits; the bacteria that cause intesti
nal infections.
Though many hlghv plants har
; bqr antibiotic-like substances, our
j most potent drugs have been
searched out among the simpler
forms of microscopic life in the soil.
! Since the discovery of penicillin,
I scientists have tested soil samples
from all parts of the globe, and have
given doctors powerful broad-range
antibiotics like Tei ramycin and
Tetracyn which quickly control once
j fatal infections.
Most vegetable germicides are
! simply laboratory curiosities—and
! for good reasons Many occur, in
minute quantities, and are almost j
impossible to isolate and text. Others j
hit germs for which better drugs j
are already available. Furthermore,
they are not true medicines, and the
most scientists can do is to seek •
clues which in fare instances may j
lead eventually to the development ■
of a new drug.
One such clue has come from j
India, where a recent study indi- j
cates that mushrooms, a. favorite in- j
grtdietit of epicurean dishes, are j
completely distasteful to typhoid I
gefpis. Medical detectives are fol-1
lowing this clue in hope of finding j
ti.e .source of a new typhoid fever

To Be Returned
Failure to Comply will
Result In Reduction
Os Allotments
Tobacco and peanut farmers are
required by law to return their
1 marketing cards to the local ASC

j ficer for the ASC State Commit-!
tee, Says that farmers who nog loot
to return their marketing cards w ill
have their 1955 allotments reduced.
Izast year, accord ing to Godfrey,
295 producers in tile state- had their
1955 allotments reduced for fail- i
Ure (o return marketing cards and j
other violations.
These negligent farmers cenipar-'
l ed with the 1f1j,679 tobacco .andj
I peanut farmers •in tin- state are;
| "just a drop in the buckethe said. ]
i However, failure to return these I
j curds definitely hurts (he farme.rsj
whose allotments are reduced and!
U also slows tip the Work ill. the, :

Godfrey says that regulation*'}
provide that the producer must re- j
