Page Six THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, June 19, 1959 Many Cows on State Farms Are Not Paying Their Way Many cows on North Carolina farms could be classified as de pendents, even though their Owners can’t declare them as such for in come tax purposes. They are de pendents, says R. L. Wynri, dairy specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Service, because they do not produce enough to pay for the feed they consume, the housing they require, and the hours of la bor spent in taking care of them Many dairy herds would produce better if the poorest cows were Service on All Makes of Electrical Appliances Eubanks Refrigeration Service ME 7-2571 HAND ENGRAVING-RFPAIRING-RtPlATING JEWELRY and SILVERWARE SIONIS RE-StT or REPLACED Old mountingt tebyilt, nrw ones created • Valuable papeis, photos permanixed GOODING Service' 314 Elks Tcmple*Phone 4367'New Bern,N.C. I eliminated, Wynn said. A herd of^ 25 cows, for instance, might pro duce more milk if one poor pro ducer was eliminated (culled) and her feed divided among the better producers. Then in addition to greater profits, the dairyman would have less work or more time to improve his general man agement. “The only reliable way to find low producers that will pull down a herd’s efficiency is to keep some kind of records,” Wynn con tinued. “There is a definite correla tion between record keeping and high production per cow.” North Carolina cows on' the Dai ry Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) Record-Keeping program last year, produced an average of approximately 9,000 pounds of milk. This is to be compared with a production of only about 5,000 pounds by the average North Caro lina cow. Masonic, Sun.-Mon.-Tues.

Free Wheeling -By- Bill Crowell Dept, of Motor Vehicles State of North Carolina BEWARE ... It doesn’t happen every day in the week but motor ists like storekeepers and banks sometimes fall prey to armed gun men. At best the victims lose their cars and cash. Others are savage ly beaten and sometimes left dead. ’The State Highway Patrol warns motorists they can easily be rob bed unless they keep a few simple rules in mind. Alertness here not only can keep a driver from losing his money but maybe his life as well. Troopers advise travelers to pace their driving approaching an inter section. If there’s a traffic light there, adjust your speed to hit it about the time it turns green. This practice eliminates a stop which might otherwise produce an unwel come stranger. Glance often in your rear view mirror, not only for safety, but to decide if someone is following you too diligently. Reduce your speed and allow him to pass—if he will. Otherwise pull off at a service station or some well-lighted place and see what happens. If need be call officers. After dark keep to well travel ed thoroughfares. A little known short cut may be appealing as a time saver, but it could be danger ous. In unfamiliar areas, help may not be readily available if you need assistance. And to repeat what we had here a few weeks ago—never pick up hitch hikers! In a traffic dispute you may get angry enough to bite 10-penny nails. But keep your temper in check. Such arguments, police say, often lead to assault and sometimes robbery. >{i :H MUST HAVE . . . They call ’em “go caits,” don’t they? Those minia ture race cars made up of welded pipe and powered by a lawn mower engine. I watched a bunch of them last Saturday, zipping around the parking lot of the Motor Vehicles Building. Speedy little rascals, too Barely enough to be called a motor vehicle. Yet if they are driven on the road they gotta have a license tag—like with any normal sized ve hicle. According to DMV officials, liability insurance covering the miniatures must be secured as well as a tag. And, hey, youngsters, out on the road the driver must be licensed, too. Spoilsports? Nope, laws aren’t made of rubber. Jls »k He >! SUDDEN THAWT ... The driv er who doesn’t mind being passed will still be present when others are past. ♦ ♦ sk SNATCHES . . . Any day your car may be the target of an auto thief, who will most likely be a ju venile delinquent or an amateur. A skilled' professional who really wants your car bad, can cope with locked doors and no ignition key. But, like officials of the Motor Ve hicles Department’s Auto Theft Bu- rea say, “Why make it a cinch for him?” They recommend: Always lock doors and take ig nition key "before leaving your car. Even for a short time. Try to avoid parking in dark or poorly lighted streets.- Don’t, leave packages, luggage or other valuables on the seat or ex posed where they be seen by pass ers-by. It’s not a very good trick either to hide keys somewhere in the car; thieves know where to look for them. JOSEPH E.
