They burn eight million gallons of gasoline, producing 13,000 tons of pol lutants into the air. Los Angeles supplies these statistics because, unfortu nately, that city has become famous for its smog. But to a lesser degree every 'city in the U S. and Canada also contributes Throughout the nation, pollution is becoming a major problem.- ,and it’s one that will grow through the years unless preventa tive measures are soon taken. The President’s Science Advisory Committee has been studying the problem and has ccme up with a report which points out that pollu tion from internal combus tion engines “is so serious u\ is . • • win -. so fast that an alternat've non-polluting means of powering automo biles, buses and trucks is Mkely to become a national ntcessity.” further, it's pointed out inat carbon dioxide is being produced by burning coal, oil and natural gas at the rate of six billion tons a year.

Along with our Season’s Greetings this year, we thought you might appre ciate something to make your going a bit easier . . . and a lot safer. It is a “Driver’s Countdown for Safety” and it was develop ed by Auto Industries High way Safety Committee to make your driving more tro uble-free and enjoyable. Here’s how the driver’s countdown works. When you’re ready to make a trip whether Just around town or longer, ask yourself the five questions below. If you get a “no” to any of them, don’t turn the ignition key until the. condition’s correct ed. The countdown is quick and easy to do ... as easy as 3-2-1.

Little things my mother said I still hear very good. Like, “Son, go bring “some water” v. Or “bring a load of wood.” There’s an air about this place I live That still brings Joy to me For ever, Oh so often Her dear sweet face I see Several things now have been done That changed the place you know But nothing can block my vision As,l see har come and go I can see her as she went around On poor old legs that ached Just trying to catch up the chores For her dear family's sake. She would sing songs of religion J - ■ As she went to milk the cow It would make her feel much better As I remember now. And now the sweetest mem ory R ght to this very day Was when she knelt beside her bed And for lost sould did pray But on that cold and rainy day Twos in the month of March • She left this world of wick edness Eternal life to start. Yes, Mother you left us all that day In Nineteen forty seven No doubt has ever entered our minds But that you went to heaven. Let us not forget your last request To a very small grandson Was tell my children to be good And then your work was done.

Potential is even greater. 3,170 acres of idle nonproduc tive land planted in past is growing wood for the owner at the rate of about sls per acre per year, or $47,750 an nually. 10,140 acres of idle nonpro ductive land still in need of planting could mean an ad ditional $152,000 annually to landowners In this county. At 20 to 25 years of age. each 1,000 acres of planta tion helps create the base for 10 new jobs. Thus, past planting is already helping create the base for 32 Jobs. If the 10,140 acres in need of planting were reforested there would be a potential for 100 additional jobs. 132 more jobs would mean a lot to people in this area.
