Warning Given
I To Be Careful
(Her Millays
, / If you are a man between 25
ind 44 years old, and you drive
a car, be extra careful in traffic
over the Fourtji of July week
' end/
The National Safety Council,
which is conducting a nation
wide campaign to hold Fourth
of July, accidents to a minimum,
says the typical holiday traffic
victidi is a male driver between
24 and 44 years old. He usually
is .the only one killed in the
crash in which he is involved,
either because he is alone or
because the others were lucky
enough to escape death.
The accident in which the
typical holiday victim dies ac
" curs between ft P. M .and mid
night—with the odds on 6 to 9
P. ‘ M.—on the night of .the test
full day of the holiday period.
The accident is most ligely to
$ occur on a rural highway or in
an unincorporated area, and the
chances are good that the vic
tim has been drinking.
The typical victim is speeding
when the accident occurs. It is
caused by an out-of-control
plunge off the road or a rend
ing crash with another car.
A recent study by the Coun
cil of holiday traffic , accidents
shows that the most dangerous
period for the holiday trawler
is while en route to his holiday
destination, rather than the -trip
home. ■. v -v.

The Food Picture
For Future Months
! If you look ahead to the last
I half of 1957, says George Abshier,
Agricultural Extension Service
j consumer marketing specialist,
you’ll see that most food supplies
are near last year’s high level.
The food picture shows that
there will be slightly less meat,
but plenty to meet the demand,
and there will be a few less eggs
this year than last.
There will be more broilers and
turkeys, more milk, and more
peaches, but less citrus fruits and
apples. More potatoes and. can
ned and frozen vegetables are
prospects for the future, but few
er fresh'vegetables and sweet po
tatoes.
According to Abshier, prices are
slightly higher than last year, but
there’s still plenty of food to meet
strong demands.
Abshier’s report shows that con
sumption of meat in 1957 will be
about eight pounds below the rec-1
ord 167 pounds per capita in 1956.
Beef consumption will be about
four pounds less than last year,
with the last half of the year’s
supplies under that of 1956. This
I results in prices slightly above
I those last year.
I Milk production is running at
a record high level, indicating
a new record high production.
“This doesn’t affect prices much,”
says Abshier, “but it indicates a
welcome plentiful supply.”
The peach crop is considerably
larger this year than in 1956 in
the southern region, Abshier con
tinues. He states that the quali
ty will be good and prices at-
to shoppers. He adds
that there will be considerably
fewer cantaloupes this year, but
more watermelons.
