Quiz Test For Bike Riders Raleigh, —Major Samuel L. Gay nor, Jr., assistant director of the Highway Safety Division of the De partment of Motor Vehicles, today asked everyone who rides a bicycle in North Carolina, to take a pencil and test his knowledge of regula tinns and safety tips of bicycle riding. The test was compiled in connec tion with the bicycle safety cam paign being conducted by the De partment. "Score yourself five points for every question where you can an swer 'yes'," Major Gaynor said. "If you score 75 points (15 questions correct) that is fair; 80 points, good; 85 points, excellent; 90, su per; and if you score 100, you ought to be on the police force." Do you: 1. Observe all traffic rules and signs. 2. Keep to the right. 3. Ride single file. 4. Signal when making turns. I 5. Keep your bike in good condi- i tion, brakes working well. 6.

MORRIS, Vice-President W. F. GRANT, Cashier Simple Precautions Guard Animals From The Springtime Ills Failure of owners to take simple precautions prior to placing ani mals on pasture accounts for many livestock losses this time of the year, the American Veterinary Medical Association advises. Farmers are urged to take these steps to ward off costly trouble: Feed cattle and sheep a substan tial amount of dry hay before turn i ing them out to pasture each day for the first few weeks, and don't allow them to graze too long the first few days. This will help to prevent bloat and grass tetany, as well as scours and weight loss caus ed by laxative action of early spring grass. Make sure that the ration is well balanced. Animals deprived of es sential nutrients, such as vitamin A, phosphorus and salt, are more likely to eat poisonous plants, and a craving for sugar often leads ani-; | mals to seek out poisonous growths, having a sweet flavor. Remove loose barbed wire and other sharp metal objects from pas tures. The legs of horses and ud- j ders of cows are vulnerable to cuts from sueh objects. Keep calves and cattle away from I freshly painted surfaces and keep paint cans out of their reach, to prevent lead poisoning. Keep swine out of fields where there are sprouting cocklebur seeds, i Swine like these tender shoots, which are poisonous, but will shun them when they reach the tough two-leaf stage around midsummer.

It has to be manufactured. It has to be shipped. And it has to be put in convenient form for you to use. For example, compare electricity with a box of candy. 1. MANUFACTURE Just as candy is made in a factory using sugar and nuts and flavor ing, electricity is made in a gen erating station using coal or water power. 2. TRANSPORTATION Electricity must be shipped from the generating "factory" to the people who use it. But instead of going ky truck or train, it is carried by transmission lines. 3. DISTRIBUTION Finally, just like candy, it must be put in a package. For electricity, the "package" is the light socket or wall outlet. When you flick the switch, you are actually opening the most convenient package there has ever been. Ii's a magic package that doesn't get empty. It contains a product which does a hundred jobs . . . makes work easier and living better. And the product is the biggest bargain in the house: ELECTRICITY.
