1200 Nmmb Miafs Sarastd To Death Nearly 1200 taua bungs ?re witrf to death last They died la traffic. Most o I (bam were killed, bt la aeddaats. but la mi le "Incidents" involving pMt liquor, stubbomeas and A* formerGov. Luther Hod pa* one* remarked, "There's [ accidental about a man drinks. deliberately hia car through an in don. and cauaes a But apparently so few care [bout those killed on the high ly* a. That's some attitude. Worse (till, (he human mind refuses believe that anything nega te will happen to the body. Examples are everywhere, by the foolish asintption that "accidents Iways happen to someone Ise." Well, you are alive at this iry moment only by the very jecial grace of Cod. Believe in your own special (Bt of long and undisturbed life If you will, but mean while, try this: Stop at once all illegalties and carelessness in your own driving. No more cheating on the speetf limits, double cau tion when road, traffic, and weather conditions are bad. no driving and drinking. This Is by fir the most important contribution you can make. Second, when the General Assembly convenes, write to.' your legislstor. Ask him to stfiport safety proposals. It's slgniglcant that letters urging traffic safety are usually a mere trickle compared to let ters concerned with less vital action. Let your represen tative know you want safer North Carolina highways. Third, stand behind your law enforcement officers. Without your support and encourage ment, police are hampered in their efforts to provide traffic protection for all. > ASC Ntws By L. U KtMclbun; County Qfllce Manager The L'MrtkM County ASC office personnel milled a let ter to all farmers that are on the ASC mailing UatMormlag them about the initial slgn-14) lor ACP help In the 1961 pro gram year. This is very Important to the farmer and we urge that fanners read this letter and >ome to the ASC office by January 27, if they expect to be guaranteed ACP help this year. The county office per sonnel have tried bo make the letter as plain as possible and we feel that If the person receiving the letter will read it carefully there will be no misunderstanding about the lutlal Sign-i4> referred to In the letter. We have pointed out in the letter that this is different somewhat from the past pro- . cedure since the county com ittee hoped to be able to de termine from the number of requests, that- are received by January 27, as to how many farmers pita to uk for ACP assistance. The ACP program 1* the ume for 1961 M It was for 1960, with' the accapcton of practices 1 and 2, the County Committee believtf that some farmers would want to sow or chard trass or fescue with out any lading clover and this year they have madt It pos sible for the farmer to set grass seed with out clover If he feels that he does not want the clover. The county office personnel will get sufficient informat ion from the farmer when he makes his request as k> the kind of seed, the lime and fertilizer or other Informat ion pertaining to the other practices to be able to mail the purchase order to the farmer, as soon as the county committee has approved the request. It is our plans to mail approvals and purchase ord ers to all farmers that re quest help by February IS. Area Deaths, Funerals Compliments Of /Wt Mtttal Btrkl Asstd&tha Feytta 6.
