Speed Control Will Limit Accidents,
Chief Logan Reminds Motorists
"Speed kills, take It easy!"
This warning was Issued today
by Chief Hugh A, Logan, Jr., who
stressed the n&ed for speed con
trol as a curb on traffic acci
dents. Chief Logan sj>okc on he
half of the speed control pro
gram the Police Department is
conducting this month in cooper
ation with the National Safety
Council.
"More than 25 percent of the
drivers Involved in fatal traffic
accidents annually are violating
a speed law at the time of the
accident," Logan said.
Because many factors enter in
to the making of every accident,
Logan said it Us impossible to
determine to what extent speed
is to blame in any single acci
dent. However, he pointed out
that we know enough about
speed to make us realize that
it's dynamite if used unwisely.
"For instance," Chief Logan
said; " a speeding car travels a
greater distance between the
time the brakes are applied and
the time the car stops than a
slower - moving vehicle. Obvi
ously, a driver's chances of hit
ting an object that suddenly
looms In his path increase as his
speed increases.
To Illustrate his point, Logan
said that a car with good brakes
can stop in about 21 feet after
the braKes are applied from a
speed of 20 miles per hour- It
will take about 189 feet for the
car to stop if the speed is 60
miles per hour.
Another uangerous factor a
fcout speed, Chief Logan said, is
that force of impact is increased
much more rapidly than speed ?
at twice the speed, for example,
you hit four times as hard.
"In other words," Chief Logan
said, "if your car hits a fixed
obstacle when you're going 20
miles an hour it will suffer as
much damage as if it were drop
ped from a height of 13 feet onto
a concrete highway. But If ycu
hit the same object when you're
doing 60, the car will be damag
ed as much as if it were dropped
from a 10-story building."

Buy government inspected
meat with a purple inspection
stamp. This stamp is required on
' all meat shipped across state
lines. Meat grades include Prime,
Choice, Good, Commercial and U
tility. In genleral, the less expen
sive cuts and lower grades will be
the best buy if properly cooked ?
but choose carefully. Cheaper cuts
may prove more costly in the
long run if they contain too much
fat or bone. When buying ungrad

meat is light red, velvety - ap
pearing and liberally veined with
fat.
Buy breads, flour and cerals ,
only if "enriched" or "restored" j
or "whole grain" is printed on the |
labels. They cost no morte and add
extra B vitamins and minerals ,to

Buy "cash-and-carry" to save
the extra cost of credit or delivery

Buy foods by Weight rather
than bulk measure or count when
ever possiblte. Check scale to be
sure the indicator is on zero be

Farmer Finds Mixing1
Fertilizers Pays
When the price of farm pro
ducts is falling and the prices
paid by farmers are rising there
is a natural tendancy to cut costs
by cutting down on fertilizer. If 1
lowering fertilizer costs is done ;
at the expense of over-all soil t
fertility a mistake is being made.
These are the sentiments of ag
ricultural leaders and many pro- 1
gressive farmers. Many are find- j
ing it profitable to use high ana
lysis materials such as 33 per cent j
ammonium nitrate, 48 and 62 per
cent potash and mix their own re
quired analysis.
One such farmer is Milton Mo- ]
retz of Watauga County. L. E.
Tuckwiller, county agent for the
State College Extension Service,
says Moretz mixes all his own
fertilizer. For corn at planting
he uses 100 pounds of 33 per cent
nitrogen, 100 pounds of 48 per
cent phosphate and 100 pounds of j
60 per cent potash. This gives him
the equivalent of more than 5001
pounds of 5-10-10. His cost is a- '
bout $9.85, while 500 pounds of
5-10-10 would cost about $13.75.
With his own mix he gets 33
pounds of nitrogen, 48 pounds of

Shiloh Revival >j
To End Friday
Rev. J. Eade Anderson, pastor
of Olney Presbyterian church in
Gastonia, will conclude a special
evangelistic series this weekend
at the Shiloh Presbyterian church
in Grover. Services are at 7:30
each evening Sunday through Fri
day.
Franklin Pethel of Kings Moun- '
tain is the song leader and direc
tor of music. Mrs. F. B. I lam
bright, organist at Shiloh, accom
panies the singing in the hymn
service. Special music has been
arranged for each stfvice.
The Rev. Mr. Anderson is a
native of Transylvania county,
and formerly was pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Waynes
boro, Georgia. He w;as educated
at Davidson College and Colum
bia Theological Seminary, Deca
tur, Georgia. He has studied at
New College. Edinburgh, towards j
the Doctor of Theology degree.
A veteran of World War II, hav
ing served in the Pacific Amphi
hious Fleet of the Navy, he is
phosphate and 60 pounds, of pot
ash. With 5-10-10 he would get 25
pounds of nitrogen, 50 pounds of
phosphate and 50 pounds of pot
ash. Thus he gets eight pounds
more nitrogen, two pounds less
phosphate, and 10 pounds morte
potash for $3.90 less per acre by
mixing his own.
For blue grass pastures. he uses
100 pounds of 62 per cent phos
phate and 100 pounds 60 .per cent
potash. This gives him the equiva
lent of more than 400 pounds of
an 0-14-14 per acre at a cost of
$4.72. Thte cost of the 0-14-14 would
be approximately $10. Savings
would be $6.18 per acre.
For alfalfa he uses 100 pounds
62 per cent phosphate and 200
pounds 60 per cent potash per
acre. Costs on this is $7.72 per
acre. In addition he uses 35
pounds of borax per acre tevery
other year which costs approxi
mately $1. Thus his yearly cost
would be $8.52. Savings in this
case amount to $4.48 per acre bas
ed on 500 pounds 0-9-27 per acre.
These examples of savings are
typical of what many demonstra
tion farmers arte doing, says Tuck
wilier. But often many fall to
convert high analysis fertilizers
to meet soil test recommenda
tions.
