Page 12-A Squ rrels Can Cause Damage I Continued From Page 11-A The magnitude of the pro fa blem of wood stove safety L cannot be minimized, par | ticularly when it’s noted that ? in 1960 wood stoves were I* responsible to 53 per cent of the 210,000 residential fires & caused by all types of heating P equipment. During the same . year, there were 757,000 • residential fires of all kinds. |TIn other words, wood stoves ? accounted for one out of every seven fires. While wood burning stoves % are attractive, a topic of live • ly conversation, a cozy way to heat a room or home, and generally well made, they are also highly dangerous if not properly cared for and clean ed. According to the Con sumer Product Safety Com mission, fire officials and representatives of the in surance industry, carelessness and improper care and maintenance are largely responsible for the mounting toll of death, injury and property damage. To help reduce wood stove fires and their tragic conse quences, the Insurance Infor mation Institute offers a free leaflet, “Wood Stove Safety.” Among other things, the leaflet provides principal do’s and don’ts: DO make sure there is am ple clearace between the stove and combustible floors, walls and ceilings.

U.S. farm exports, meanwhile, quadrupled from $7.4 billion to $30.8 billion. By 1981 they reached nearly $44 billion. Dr. T. Everett Nicholis, Jr., extension grain marketing economist at North Carolina State University, says many factors have contributed to the tremendous growth in America’s exports of food, feed and fiber crops during the past two decades. For one thing, there has been a demand for these products. Food aid extended to many countries after World War II helped develop markets for U.S. commodities. With Mar shall Plan and Point Four assistance, many countries were able to rebuild their economies and in time become commercial customers of U.S. farmers. World population grew rapidly, exceeding 4 billion. Per capita income levels rose I Didn't Know That! There’s a possibility that your child’s vision isn't as good as you might think it is. An estimated half a mil lion children aged three through five in the United States have eye disorders one in every 20 youngsters. Because children have no way of knowing how they should see, they may not complain about a vision problem. One of the eye problems of greatest con cern, amblyopia ("lazy eye”) may lead to permanent vi sion loss if not discovered and treated before age six and it frequently gives no signals through appearance or obvious symptoms. To in most countries. People wanted better diets, and this generally meant more meat and other livestock products. The Soviet Union, for exam ple, made a policy decision to give consumers a break by in creasing livestock production. Food and fiber grain {dan tings were extended into marginal areas—that is, areas in which crop failures could be expected from time to time. By the early 19705, Russia was seriously short of feed. Quietly it sent representatives to the United States to make very large purchases from this country’s surplus grain supplies. When this became known, it triggered a wave of grain buying by many coun tries around the world. America’s dominance in world grain trade has increas ed since the large Soviet pur chases of 1972-73.

This country has large land and water resources. U.S. agriculture, based on what has been called “science power,” has been developed to the point where it is more efficient than that of any other major nation. Farm people make up less than 3 per cent of the U.S. population, but they keep this nation well fed and supply enormous volume of goods for people in other countries. U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show that in 1980, each farm worker in this country produced enough for 78 persons—s 2 in this country and 26 abroad. This is a record that has never been equaled. The Soviet Union turned to America for grain in 1972-73 because no other country had such large stocks on hand. The Soviets continue to need American grain to meet the needs of their consumers.
