Berry urges everyone to give as generously as possi ble when a volunteer calls at your house. The following release is from the American Heart Association: ODDS REDUCED DRAMATICALLY WHEN SMOKERS QUIT People who have smoked for a long time tend to feel that the damage already has been done and that it is pointless to quit Not so! The American Heart Association says that the smoker who quits even tually lowers the risk of death from heart attack un til it is nearly as low as the risk of a person who never has smoked. What may have started out as a youthful exercise in self-expression has become a primary health haxard for smokers of all ages. A man who smokes more than one pack of cigarettes a day has nearly twice the risk of heart attack than a non-smoker. Never was nature more forgiving of abuse than through the regenerative process which restores to good health the smoker who takes a look at the odds ? and gets out of the smoking game. Heed this advice from the American Heart Associa tion. The theme of its annual, February cam paign is "We're Fighting For Your Life." (jrram reserve program is announced by ASCS By THOMAS L. RIDDICK GRAIN RESERVE PRO GRAM ANNOUNCED - The food and Agricultural Act of 1177 requires the establishment of wheat reserves and gives authori ty to the Secretary of Agriculture to implement a feed grain reserve when there are abundant supplies. In view of the current supply situation, the Secretary aof Agriculture has implemented a new grain reserve program. The purpose of the grain reserve program is to isolate these stocks from market to: 1. Strengthen current market prices 2. Serve as hedge against the inflationary efforts of a poor crop in future. 3. Be available for meeting emergency needs in the future. Under this program farmers enter into ' storage contract with the government for a three year period and receive an nually, in advance a storage payment of 25 cents per bushel for corn, wheat, and barley, II cneta per bushel for oats and 44 cents per cwt. for grain soughum. The (rain remains in storage until the contract expires or prices for the grains reach certain levels unless the producer pays a~ penalty for an earlier release from the storage contract. Approvals may be issued by the County ASCS office to rotate or substitute stocks in order to maintain a quality product. Farmers with 197C-crop barley, oates and wheat not yet under a purchase agree ment may file by Feb. 28, obtain a loan and im mediately enter the reserve. The final date to obtain a loan and become eligible to enter the reserve program on 1177-crop barley, oat* and wheat is March SI, 1978. Dates will be announced later for entry on corn. Also there has been changed in the (arm storage facility loan pro gram. That will increase the amount of storage for which reserve participants may qualify.
