. CHRISTMAS PAST ?? Christmas is over, but the memories linger on. This picture was taken Tuesday afternoon
after a Hillcrest citizen came in to complain about the garbage overflowing the dumpsters. While city residents
were relieved of their Christmas trash on Monday, county residents must put up with unsightly remnants such as
this until garbage collections are made. These dumpsters are located on Highway 401 Business.

Considering entering into the
0fqd?w^n of fruit crops, it is
impSFtlfit to understand that it is a
long run committment. It is es
sential that one has the financial
reserves to maintain the business
through the preproduction years
and during periods of low prices.
For some individuals, a pick - your
- own operation offers promise for a
wide variety of large and small
fruits. Surveying market potential
and planning crop rotations are
important to success.
Pork production is expected to
rise substantially in 1978. Based on
pig crop reports, the slaughter hog
supply by quarters for 1978 is
expected to be up 10 percent in the
winter, 10 percent in the spring and
16 percent in the summer. Hog
prices are expected to be between
$35 and S37 per hundredweight in
the First quarter and decline
<? ?throughout the year possibly below
JS30 during the fourth quarter.
With this price squeeze, producers
should watch costs carefully and
consider hedging some of theip
production on .the Futures Market.
Long terms demands for forest
resources remains strong. Tracts
requiring silvicultural practices
such as site preparation and
planting should be soundly
managed. Pulpwood thinnings and
timber stand improvement cuttings
should be considered to enhance
growth rates of future marketable
timber. Landowners with mature
stands should carefully time timber
sales since the demand for timber
? and resulting prices varies within a
given county during the year.

CAUTION
(Continued from Page 1)
anticipating a quiet holiday,
Barrington stated.
Chief Wiggins and Sheriff
Barrington both advise parents of
children with a First bike to use
caution and good judgment.
"The week following Christmas
is traditionally a bad week for
bicycle accidents nation - wide."
Wiggins said.
He says parents should give the
child training in bike safety. If the
parents are not sure of the bicycle
safety rules, they can get pointers
by coming by the Police Station.
Barrington says that supervision
is also extremely important and
that the child should learn to ride
in the yard or driveway, never close
to a roadwav.
