-THE CAROLINA TIMES Sat, Feb. 24, 1973 mt m UK from the Car Can Council ' DONT RISK WORN DISCS H jou taw bought new car within J'"" anted for front disc brakes as an extra safety feature, you may beone of the multitude who never really understood what It was you bought and why disc brakes work so well tamplesTterms which are about as technical as I will at hbo Krlm utilize a 1 eM Hk 1 I Jody Carr principle of squeeiing a aisc valves with the wheel. When you push the Drake peoai. a: couple of pads and the wheel' stops. e i t hp wheel is at tached to the car. the car stons. tl told you this would be simple.) Disc brakes are very power ful and sensitive. They have been used for years on racing cars and sports cars. Finally, we old folks are getting them. One special caution about disc brakes. The pads wear out, just as the lining does on conventional brake shoes. If you wait too long to have new pads installed, you may dras tically increase the cost of the overhaul . . . because you have damaged the rotors (the discs) andor the hydraulic compon ents. This is also true about con ventional drum brakes: exces sively worn brake shoes will cut into the drums, which can be an expensive repair. With discs it is more so. The thing to do about that is to ask an experienced mechan ic to take a close look at your disc brakes about every six months to be sure the pads are not reaching the danger point. When the moment of truth arrives, when you have to pay the bill, don't be shocked if the figure is - SON higher than what you've been used to in the past. Prices have gone up since the last time you had a brake job. of course, and in the case of disc brakes the tab is even higher than with drum-type brakes. It takes a good me chanic longer to do a first class Job. And if you have waited too long before getting the reline, you could be in for a couple hundred dollars' worth of parts and labor. That's the way it is, folks. But the secure feeling of good brakes is worth a lot. I can say with authority, having just recovered from a whoppmg disc brake job. FLOWER OF THE YEAR m Hi When America's leading seedsmen, meeting at renn state uni versity, Pennsylvania, were asked to name a "Flower of the Year" based on popularity among home gardeners, the Giant Cactus-Flowered Zinnia won the title. By far th?e most popular flower among home gardeners is the zinnia, aMWHC seedsmen meeting at Penn State Uni versity, Penna. were asked to name a ower of the Year" according to popularity among their customers and performance in their own trial gardens, the Giant Cactus Flowered Zinnia got the vote. It's easy to understand why these spectacular giant flowers are so universally grown among home gardeners. They grow with ease throughout the United States, the seeds are easy to handle and grow rapidly planted directly into the garden. Giant Cactus Flowered Zin nias come in a magnificent range of colors from snow white through shades of yellow, orange, pink, red, and purple. They make beautiful flower ar rangements, and last a long time in water. The giants withstand hot summers, humidity and drought, and just a few plants will create an impressive splash of color. About the only de mand of these lovely flowers is a sunny location. Seeds planted after danger of frost will usu ally germinate within 10 days, and the first flowers will appear in 8 weeks, keeping up a con tinuous display until fall. The huge flower heads, meas uring up to 5 inches across, often carry hundreds of quilled petals hence the name "cactus flowered." Fifty years ago you would have had difficulty find ing zinnias, and the giants did not even exist until modern hybridisers and flower breeders made tens of thousands of se lections to improve the flower size and color. Mania M. U. AAA There's More Than One Way To Make A Peanut Butter Sandwich Make it with almost any jelly, jam or preserve. That's Amer ica's favorite, whether it's eaten for breakfast, lunch or as a snack But you can also make a peanut butter sandwich with bacon, olives or pickles. Season it with curry powder, mix in a little catchup or spread the bread with mayonnaise before adding the peanut butter. Add raisins, sliced apples or banana. The sky's the limit! But keep this in mind. It's the combination of nutrients in the peanut butter and enriched bread that makes this all Amer ican sandwich worth its weU deserved reputation for good nu trition. It's the reason, too, that peanut butter on toast for breakfast has the sanction of nutritionists. Peanut butter by itself is nutritious. Two tablespoons Skippy peanut butter conain at least as much protein as 1 medium size egg or 6 ounces of milk. In contrast to these animal-protein foods peanut butter is relatively low in saturated fat. Two tablespoons Skippy peanut butter also furnish 30 per cent of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of niacin, 15 per cent of phosphorus and 4 per cent of iron. The bread in a sand wich contributes vitamins and minerals, increases the protein and energy without adding a significant amount of fat. Now for the additions. They ail add to the enjoyment of the Sfcjut butter sandwich, but because they are used in such smaJL amounts, they contribute only small amounts of nuWeater-?or example, a peanut butter and bacon sandwtfmg 2 tabWv Ipoott peantrf butter, 2 slices crisp bacon-alHl slices enriched white bread provide 16 grams of protein against 12 grams in a niain peanut butter sandwich or a peanut butter and jelly LSwyOiThe bacon also adds 35 calories over the peanut but JTld teUr sandwich and 00 calories over a plain peanut but ter sandwich In general, most additions add carbohydrate ZtA only modest amounts of other nutrient. It is better, nu tritionally to eat a whole banana, or apple, or snack box of raisins along with the peanut butter sandwich. For the teste and enjoyment of a nutritious peanut butter sandwich, add whatever appeals to you. gmgSgl n&Sfl??' ' ' ga HW.Hl WVffrTt Ha wrB sHwiMffrf 11 m.

NEW COCONUT At least one firm has come out with colored and flavored coconut. Chocolate, lemon, orange and peppermint varieties feature the familiar shredded texture but with new flavor and color, says Mrs. Ruby Uzzle, extension consumer marketing economist, North Carolina State University. NO HARM Farm pond owners shouldn't be concerned about turtles and fish eating birds. They do not harm the fish population, according to North Carolina State Uni versity specialists. The turtles will eat dead or sick fish or steal your catch off the stringer, but they will do more good than harm. Same goes for birds, such as kingfishers and herons (cranes). They do no real harm, and their presence around a pond adds to the scenery. Besides, killing them is against the law. Need Extra $ $ $ $'s? SELL SUBSCRIPTIONS TO itraraa For Details Contact Clarence Bonnette 436 E. Pettigrew St. Durham, N. C. Green Thumb Tips There's a special reason to grow Oak Leaf lettuce in your garden. When it's time to har vest you dont have to pull up the entire plant. Instead, you can pick the outer leaves from different plants, and more nw leaves will grow to take their place. That way they remain productive for a longer period. Oak Leaf is also the most heat resistant lettuce, and belongs to the looseleaf class, which is the easiest and fastest to grow. More gardeners are reporting that marigolds help control pests in the vegetable garden. By planting a row around crops you want to protect, the odor in the leaves will keep rabbits and rodents away. The roots are also reported to rid the soil of nematodes (destructive root eating worms). You don't need a vegetable garden to grow mustard and cress. A shady window will allow you to grow them indoors with ease. Just sprinkle the seeds on a paper napkin and keep moist. Within 24 hours the seed coats will split, and within 10 days the cress will be high enough to cut for adding a zesty flavor to sandwiches, salads and egg dishes. When tomatoes were first found growing by European explorers in South America, they imagined the fruit to be poisonous because of its strik ing resemblance to Deadly Nightshade, a poisonous plant common throughout Europe. .But once this belief was proved wrong, tomatoes rapidly gained favor, and the French even called them "Love Apples." For an easy and Inexpensive way to clean lint off velvet, use an old nylon stocking. By gently rubbing the fabric with the stocking, you can take lint and dust off very quickly and very easily.

It means "together" and describes the close-knit relationship that binds a family, a tribe and most recently in Africa a nation. But the continent's poverty-ridden peoples are "to gether" in a more devastating sense: They share the scourge of disease that goes with pov erty.

Distaff Deeds Joint Effort Is Aimed At Sickle Cell Anemia By JANICE CHRISTENSEN An effort to inform citizens of Rowan County about sickle cell anemia, a disease common among .black people, was launche-'iBotot- yer ago. Extension agent Mrs. Louise Slade and rep resentatives from other health, educational and CIVIC oijjttiiiianuna formed a study group in April, 1972, to learn about sickle cell anemia and to take positive action. In January a progress report showed the study committee had purchased a film strip for use in junior and senior high schools, had distributed 2,000 pamphlets, had set Sneakers' Bureau. had found a location where all information about the disease could be centralized, and had completed a proposal asking for funds to help combat sickle cell anemia. If the proposal is funded, Mrs. Slade says, "money will be used for a screening program to identify those with the disease, for training 18. par a-medical students and for genetic counsel ing to persons anticipat ing marriage." TWOrFOLD SUCCESS A Foster Grandparent program in Wayne County has had a two-fold success: It provided love and affection for retarded children at O' Berry Center, a state mental hospital, and it offered a more meaningful life for some of the county's senior citizens. The Foster Grand parents Program, ini hr hte falf bF'T2; recruited senior citizens to work with two children each, explains Martha j Thomas, home econom ics extension agent. The program touched the lives of these elderly people. Some who had previously visited their physicians one or twice a week for illnesses, ranging from high blood pressure to arthritis, have now been dismissed by their doctors. STILL YOUNG Mrs. Jennie lucxer, Ruffin, Rt. 2, is a woman in her late seventies who thinks young and acts young. She recently com pleted course work for her high school diploma and she is currently enrolled in a bookkeep ing class at the local community college. In addition, Mrs. craft skills and knowl edge with younger Rockingham County homemakers, observes Mrs. Zadie Jackson, home economics exten sion agent. The homemaker, who enjoys basket weaving and needle crafts, is teaching other women to quilt. Planet Vegetable Garden, Avoid Error It's time to plan your 1973 vegetable garden if you haven't already. You will be better satisfied with your garden if it is planned before the first seeds are put into the ground. George Hughes, North Carolina State University extension horticulture specialist, emphasizes that the plan may not be very meaningful unless it is written down. He suggests that you show the location of each crop and the amount to be planted. On an av erage, about one-tenth acre per person should be sufficient. However, take into consideration your intentions to freeze or can, and plant accordingly. If possible, the garden site should be rotated from year to year to help prevent buildups of insect and disease pests. If site rotation isn't pos sible, rotate your veg etables within the garden. Here' s another plant ing tip: plant perennial crops such as asparagus, rhubarb and berries along one side of the garden. They will be out of the way when you plow and prepare for spring planting. Another good idea to assure a steady contribu tion from the garden is to make successive plantings. Follow early vegetables such as peas, beets, kale, mustard and lettuce with crops such as tomatoes, corn, beans and okra. Keep grape vines, rose bushes and other plants that will be sprayed with materials not labeled for vegetables a safe distance from the garden. When you're ready to go to the seed store, buy vegetables by their vari ety names. There is as much difference betweei varieties of tomatoes and sweet corn as between breeds of dogs and horses. Some varieties of tomatoes, for instance, are resistant to wilt while others are not. It will pay you to get the wilt resistant type if there is any evidence at all that wilt is present in your garden. Buy seed or plants from a reputable firm. Stick to those varieties recommended for your area. Try new varieties on a umitea scate until they prove to (be better than the old ones. There is information available free from your county Agricultural Ex tension Service office on approved varieties, best planting dates, plant spacing, fertilizer needs and other helpful details. 1 J I If Sf I A If.

Internal Revenue Service inid is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) My daughter earned more than $750 from a summer job last year. Can I still claim her as a dependent? A) If your daughter was a full-time student regardless of age for some part of each of any five months of 1972 or was less than 19 years old at the end of the year, you can claim her as a dependent re gardless of how much money she made, provided all the other dependency tests are met, including furnishing over onerhalf of your daughter's total support. Q) My father can claim me as a dependent. Last year I earned $745 from a part-time job and received $10 interest nn mv savin ITS aCCOUnt. Is it true that I won't have to file a return because I don't have $2050 in income? A) No. A change in the tax law requires a dependent who received $750 or more in gross income, which included un earned income (interest, divi dends, etc.) of any amount, to file a return. Many persons in these cir cumstances would have been filing a return anyway to re cover any tax withheld. Q) If I itemize my deduc tions, do I have to use the tables in your tax forms pack- Ke to compute a sales tax deduction? A) No. Use of the tables is optional. You may deduct the actual sales tax you paid on purchases, but be sure to keep the records to justify your deduction. If you use the sales tax tables to determine your de duction, you may add to the amount shown in the tables the sales tax paid on the pur chase of an automobile, air plane, boat, mobile home and materials used to build a new home where you are your own contractor. q) Would it De more auvaii tageous for me to take a de duction or credit for a politi cal contribution I made last year? tax credit will be more advan- A) For most taxpayers, the tageous. However, higher in come taxpayers may find the itemized deduction more ad vantageous. If you take the standard deduction or compute your tax from the tables in your tax form instructions, you may take only the tax credit; you may not deduct your political contribution. Q) The person I paid to fill out my tax return has not signed it. Should I make sure that he does? j A) Yes. Anyone who pre pares your return for conipen sation is required to sign it in the space provided. Spaces are also provided for the pre parer's employer identification number or social security num ber, his address and the date he signs the return. If he re fuses, you should print his name in the space provided. Q) I think I'm eligible to file the short Form UM0A this year, but didn't get one in the mail. Where can I obtain a copy? A) Telephone or visit your local IRS office. Forms are also available at many banks and post offices. Q) Are there any limita tions on how much you can de duct for Qualified child care expenses? A) Yes. The maximum de duction for any calendar month for child care expenses incurred in your home is $400. Expenses for the care of your dependent children under the age of 15, if performed out side your household, are lim ited for each month to: $200 a month for one child ; $300 a month for two children; or $400 a month for three or more children. In addition, your deductible expenses must be reduced by one-half of the amount by which your adjusted gross in come exceeds $18,000 for one year.

New colors, varieties and flavors also showed a decline. "Two possible causes," spec ulates Mrs. Ruby Uzzle, extension consumer marketing economist, North Carolina State Uni versity, "are the recent economic recession and improved new product research, which weeds out failures before they reach the market."
