He adds, however, 'There are those who are unhappy with us be cause we don't let Johnny go running home when little sister has a birth day." He says that when an emergency arises in an immediate family, liberty regulations may be relaxed. Cadets are allowed weekend liberty only once a month ordinarily, he says and those with a below C average are restricted to their dormitories when on-campus events are taking place. Jerry Inscoe received his early reli gious training from his parents, one of the most respected couple* in this section of the state. His own ability, drive and determination combined with a background of life's true values has led this Franklin native to a position of leadership and one which is giving worthy guidance to some 400 young men each year. How To Have A Safer Summer New York (NAPS) -- Sum mer means that more and more motorists are taking to the road for enjoyment.

Surprisingly, statistics on "injury acciu 'ts" reveal that the chief factor is not speed but failure to yield the right of way. Following closely be hind another car is the second biggest cause of "injury acci dents" in urban areas, third in rural area? In the area of auto deaths, recent investiga tions have*shown that, next to speed, driving left of cen ter kills more people than anything else. Certainly the best way to ensure a safer summer is to wear seat belts, either the conventional lap design, or, better yet, the improved lap and shoulder type. Safety experts at the Uni on Carbide Corporation have sent in a number of other suggestions to promote safe summer driving. Be alert to psychological as well as physical causes of accidents. Impatience with the slowpoke or righteoiis an ger at the roadhog . . . failure to realize the potential seri ousness of "little" acci dents . . assuming that an experienced driver "automati cally" does the right thing in an emergency-these are some of the most common and deadly psychological driving hazards.

To prevent an engine from dangerously overheating, keep a close watch on the dashboard warning lights. Make sure, before setting out, that your serviceman adds an effection anti freeze and sum mer coolant such as the new "Prestone" anti-leak formula, which is particularly effective in air-conditioned cars. Auto mobile makers, by the way, do not recommend frequent coolant level checks for their newer models, since removing the radiator cap from a hot engine can be dangerous as 4 result of the immediate re lease of pressure in the sys tem. Frequently, hot coolant is spewed over the person removing the cap, or at least over the front of the car. "See you later, radiator" be comes the anguished motto of the perilously stalled driver who hopefully goes in search of water. At night, are approaching drivers crazy if they keep flashing their lights at you though your own headlights are on low? Not if you have so much weight in the truck that your car's front end is higher than usual. It may be desirable to redistribute some of your luggage in the back or even to the front of the car.

Kenneth Schubart, Industrial De velopment Director, announced today that Franklin County has been de signated a county eligible for the Economic Development Administra tion programs. Schubart said that un der a similar designation last year, the Town of Bunn qualified for a 50 percent grant for a water project and also came under a provision whereby the federal government will buy the municipal bonds to be sold by the town should private agencies declined the offering. First Bloom The first white cotton bloom has been brought in to The Times office. This year, the first came from the R. Melvin Inscoe farm on Route 1, Casta lia. The delivery of the first bloom on July 1 follows an annual practice among cotton growets to see which can be first to deliver a bloom to The Times. Patronize The ID Director explained that a, county, to qualify, mutt have (1) Unemployment ilot below 6 percent of the work force during the imme diate proceeding calendar year or (2) have a median family income not in excess of $2,264.00 annually. He explained that Franklin quali fied last year under the second provi sion and that the median family In come in the county at that time was $2,366 or $102 more than the na tional figure. "This does not mean that they will automatically approve any applica tion," Schubart said. "It means that If the matter had credence and falls in line with the overall economic deve lopment plan, the EDA will give con sideration and it is likely to be appro ved." He said no county is forced to accept the designation but he added, "This is very important to this coun ty". Questioned about any immediate benefits, he stated, "I dont have anything on the hook as far u a water project goes right now, but I very definitely have another matter on the hook." ?wifm*? __ PRI.-SAT.
