Now la the time to do your part In helping celebrate June Dairy Month here In North Carolina Mate ever y day a festival of good, healthful eating at your house by serving dairy foods. Milk has long been recognized by nutritionists as natures most near ly perfect food. Accoridng to Ruby P. Uszle, Agricultural Extension Service consumer marketing specialist at State College. It has been estimated that a quart of milk is worth 31 to 42 cents in terms of buying milk's nutrients in other foods that would commonly be considered substitute sources of the various elements of milk. ' "More specifically," explains Mrs. Uxxle, "Dairy foods now fur nish the American people with one fourth of the protein, one-fifth of the vitamin A, half the riboflovin, and three-fourths of the calcium needed in daily diets. And for all this food value we pay only 15 cents of the food dollar." While the homemaker spends only 15 per cent of her food budget for dairy products, she's actually buying 30 per cent of her family's nutritional needs.

Tar Beel Motorist On Vacation Gives Impression Of N.C. Col. James R. Smith, comman der of the state Highway Patrol, this week advised Tar Heel motor ists planning a vacation trip to oth er states to sharpen up their driv ing and highway manners. "People in the places you visit", Col Smith ? a 1 d, "will judge North Carolina largely by your be havior. We're depending on you to give the right impression." The patrol chief said that motor ists will do a good public relations Job if they remember that they are guests in other states and will ob serve the same courtesies they observe when they are guest in a friend's home. "Remember," he said, "being a tourist gives you no special privil eges. You are expected to obey all local traffic laws and regulations and to behavQ, courteously on the road." The colonel advised motorists to observe the following points if they want to become guests in other states: 1. Know and obey to the letter all traffic laws. 2. Remember courtesy pays off in safety. Be ready to yield the right of way or to make other con cessions in the interest of safety. 3. The state through which you are traveling is happy to have you admire its scenery, historic sights, and public buildings? but not when you are driving. Pull off the road and stop for a good look. 4. No host loves a tipsy guest. Don't drive after you have been drinking. 5. Show the same concern for pedestrians ypu would expect other drivers to show you if you were walking. basis, this makes dairy products the most economical source of vi tamins, minerals, protein, and en ergy-supplying foods. Statistics show that North Car olina consumers (non-farm) used about 134 quarts of fluid milk and cream per person in 1956. Tar Heel per capita consumption is 80 per cent of that of the United States per capita consumption of 166 quarts. In 1956 North Carolinians ate an ?average of 12.3 quarts of ice cream per person which was below the U. S. per capita average of 16 quarts. Approximately 4.8 quarts per capita of ice milk was con sumed by the people in the state. Despite thf trend to in driving, the state'* leading traf fic safety authority has sakl e^en the most modern ears still require a human being to do the thinking and looking. "It is suicidal for drivers to rely too heavily oo automotive advanc es like power brakes and power steering to protect their lives on the highway," Motor Vehicles Com missioner Ed Scheldt declared. "Many people may be getting the impression that the new models practically drive themselves. This dream, however, is not very close to realization and encourages over confidence which can kill on the highway. "Take power brakes for ex ample- All brakes, regardless of type, do Just one thing-they stop the wheels from turning. They may be engineered just about perfectly, set are the drivers reactions. Id many accidents there is nobody around to tell what really happen ed. It's not hard to imagine, how ever, the driver having allowed that extra speed, horsepower, and finger-tip control of the steering wheel to take over from his good judgment. This is usually the last act in tragedy. "The human factor is still the most important element in causing or preventing accidents." Scheidt said, "and this factor varies consid erably. Cars can go on and on, mile after mile, but the driver's ef ficiency and alertness decline af ter periods of sustained driving. QUESTION: Do dairy cows need grain to supplement pasture graz ing? ANSWER: Experimental trails conducted last year at the North Carolina State College dairy farm pointed up the fact that a cow on excellent grass or grass-legume pasture producing 40 pounds of 5 per cent milk daily needs about nine to ten pounds of 10 per cent protein grain daily. Grains such as oats, barley, corn, and milo are high in energy and supply enough protein even while pastures are lush. * QUESTION: What could be caus ing pi oss to crowd out my lawn grass? ANSWER: Usually the presence of moss indicates a need of: (l)j more lime, (2) more plant nutri ents, (3) more sunlight, and (4) more air in the soil, or a combina tion of these factors.
