tmm Aniiculturally Speaking Agent Urges That Precautions Be Taken In Water Sports By FRANK W.

September 15: Sweet potato] referendum. SAFETY: "Think before you leap" could be an outstanding slogan for Farm Safety Week, July 19-25 and Including all other days In the year. You mifcht think everyone would check the depth of the water before diving in, but that Is not always the case In view of broken necks and heart-rending funerals. I dare say most accidents are not planned but they do occur to some extent when reasonable precautions are taken. WATER-SAFETY: Water Is like a magnet. Fresh or salt, It attracts them all. It's relaxation for the very old, a delight for the young and ?in fact the whole family can ten Joy It together from the swan Vllver right down to the dog ?paddler. One gre^.t attraction of a sum mer camp Is the "swimming hole." In the picture you see a large group of 4-H campers enjoying their early swim. It has been my observation that when a girl or boy Is absent from this event such person Is near the point of death! These campers receive very definite and positive water salety Instructions and I must say that for a water accident to occur among this group would require a gross violation of the rules. As a parting suggestlon "Thlnk before you leap because what glitters might be a clean hospital bed." BLOW OUT: Several days ago my turn arrived to give a radio talk over UHNC. Due to a very heavy morning schedule every thing appeared to Jam up and practically no free time to pre pare a radio talk. I left the of fice Just In time to arrive at the station traveling at safe speeds and anticipating no car trouble. About two miles out of Warrenton, traveling about 5E mph and thinking about the radio program, I observed a car full ol people approaching around tht curve traveling at an estlmatec speed of 75 mph. My mind was Jolted to a quick shift for mation and this speed ball was given every inch of pavement possible. Under these tense conditions of mind, body and traveling steel, and as the other car was exactly opposite my car a thundering explosion occurred. A storm was coming up so I figured the weather man had cut loose with lightning the thunder. Immediately I looked through the rear view mirror and saw one tire flat and the car weaving Delegates Return From Va. Meeting Warrenton delegates have re turned from a four-day district convention of Jehovah's Witnes ses In Richmond, Virginia. According to Edgar Llmer, presiding minister here, con vention attendance reached 12, 473 at the principal session Sunday when N. H. Knorr, Watchtower Society president, spoke on the subject "Peace Among Men of Good Will' or Armageddon?Which?" Llmer said the four days were filled with lectures, panel discussions and stage drama tizations on the assembly theme, "Fruitage of the Spirit." He said the program emphasiz ed how such qualities as love, peace, long-suffering, mildness and self-control should and can affect a Christian's everyday life. Delegates saw the ordina tion of 218 new ministers In a baptism service on Friday of the convention. In the main convention ad dress Knorr observed that In the 3,426 years since the time of Moses to the end of World War n in 1945, there have been only 268 years of world peace, and that during that time more than 8,000 international peace treaties were broken. Knorr maintained that the nations are heading towards Armageddon. But, he said, "this does not necessarily mean that they are being gathered to a thermonuclear Armageddon,' a third world war." He said It will be a war with God: The question that Is up for set tlement at Armageddon Is, Who has the right to rule all the earth? Who will, in fact, rule the earth now and forever? the political rulers of this cor rupt system of things or the Son of God, Jesus Christ?" The Watchtower president urged his listeners to "seek the "peace among men of good will,' when," he said, "the earth cleansed of all who are not 'men of good will' at Armaged don will be the territory of the Kingdom. It will be beautified and squirming all over the high way. I still shudder to think what j would have happened 11 the tire | had blown out one or two sec-' onds earlier. Just can't help but wonderhowmanywouldbeln the hospital, shoveling coal or playing the harp. The final view Indicated the speeding car was slowing up and pulling to the side of the road, and It was fortunate that another car was not following me. This was a most unorganiz ed and difficult radio pro gram to present but most of all I am thankful to my Creator to be alive and In a position to dish out more saiety talk. Salmon Funeral Held On Sunday Funeral services for Jack Richard Salmon, brother of Warrenton Police Officer How ard Salmon, were held Sun day at 2 p. m., at Hockaday Funeral Home, Roanoke Rapids by the Rev. G. V. Elklns, as- | slsted by the Rev. Colle Rock. Burial was In the Salmon fam ily cemetery. The 63-year-old Littleton | man died last Friday.
