previous years records for
high prices paid. A summary
Holiday
Statistics
Make sure yju're a Thanks
giving leftover instead of a
statistic come Monday by
staying out of the 1,500 traf
fic accidents which the N. C.
State Motor Club warns may
kill 30 persons and injure
over 900 others on N orth
Carolina's streets and high
ways during the long holiday
weekend.
The state will count its
Thanksgiving highway toll
from 600 p. m. Wednesday,
November 24, through mid
night Sunday, November 28,
for a 102-hour period. In a
similar span last year, the
casualty count came to 27
killed *.iJ 802 injured in
1,483 accidents. The all
time high for Thanksgiving
traffic deaths is 35 in 1967
and 1969.
Leading driver violations
were speeding, failure to
yield, driving left of center,
making unsafe movement,
following too closely and dri
ving under the influence of
alcohol.
Thomas B. Watkins, presi
dent of the motor club and
the National Automobile As
sociation, said, "Studies show
more and more accidents
well over half—are being
canted by drivers under the
influence of alcoholor drugs.
"During Thanksgiving, it
would be wise to add still
another cause—driving under
the influence of turkey and
trimmings. If you eat a big
meal and fell sluggish from
overeating, take a snooze or
go for a stroll before gettiig
behind the wheel. Alertness is
vital far safe driving!"

Producers
Graded Sales
of the 11 sales indicate that
12,984 head were sold at an
average of $33.15 per hun
dredweight. This returned
producers an average o f
$219.84 per head. This re
presents an increase of $3. 8 3
per hundredweight over the
prices of last year.
A summary ofthe Feeder
Calf Sales shows 2 2,633
head sold in 21 sales. They
averaged $35. 38 per hundred
weight or $158.73 per head.
Anyone will agree these
are very good prices to our
local producers. Those who
did not sell through these
sales benefttted indirectly
by the influence of the Gra
ded Sales on prices at local
auctions and buyers in the
field.
Beef Cattle are a very
good enterprise for many Thn
cey producers and offers op
portunity to many who are
not producing beef. Yancey
County has many un-used
acres of land suitable for pas
ture. hi some cases these
pastures need only lime and
phosphate to bring them into
a more productive state to
produce an income for the
land owner.
