Per eons eligible to vote include all farm owners, operators, or share croppers who were entitled to share in the proceeds from a crop of peanuts produced during 1950, on a farm with a picked or threshed acreage of more than One acre. G, T. Scott, State chairman of the Production and Marketing Administration, explains that if two-thirds of the votes are fav orable, quotas will be In effect' for the 1951, 1952, and 1953 crops of peanuts unless the Secretary of Agriculture determines that quotas for one or more of these years should be terminated be cause of increased demand or a national emergency. If more than one-third of the growers oppose, quotas will not be used for the 1951 peanut crop. In this case, another referendum will be held next fall for the fol lowing three peanut crops. If quotas are approved, price supports on the 1951 crop of pea nuts must 'be set at a level be tween 80 and 90 per cent of pari ty as of August 1, 1951, the begin ning of the next marketing year.

"Don't send a boy to do a man's job!" When there's a man-size transportation job to be done, who gets it? Thafs right ... the railroads! For example, during World War II, the railroads were given die job of handling 97% of all organized military travel, 90% of the war freight and 70% of all freight moved in this country. Today, another man-size transportation job is shaping up. And once again the railroads are the only form of transportation "man enough" to handle the great bulk of the job ... a job too big for all other carriers combined. A strong America must have strong railroads. That's why it is in the public interest-your interest- to give railroads every ?PPOrtU|S^^^B|^^fclW?^> <* ' always ready to do man-rise transportation jobs. SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM support be set at 50 per cent of parity. Scott says growers will be not ified of the 1951 acreage allot ment established for their farms prior to the voting on December 14. In general, he asserts, the 195i allotment will be based on the 1950 allotment established for the farm. The State allotment for 1951 is 188,451 acres, compared with a 1950 allotment of 225,202 acres. The decrease reflects the down ward trend in overall require ments for peanuts and will ne cessitate a moderate downward adjustment in most farm allot ments_ from the 1950 level. Four-H Club members raised more than 132,000 rabbits in club projects last year. 89 Counties Holding Supervisor Elections Annual county supervisor e lections for all counties organ ized into soil conservation dis tricts are being field during the L-vveek of December 4-9, according to J.

Americans were asked today to celebrate jhe year-end holidays by keeping themselves and the Christmas spirit alive this year. j That plea launched the Nat-j ional Safety Council's Christmas safety campaign, in which 161 national organizations are coop erating. The campaign is aimed at re- j ducing the increasing number of accidents throughout the nation. Special emphasis will be placed on traffic accidents, which have taken an upward swing this year. Traffic deaths for the first nine months of 1950 were up 11 per cent, and the Council predicts that the traffic death toll for the year i$ virtually certain to reach 35,000. This would be the highest Since 1941 and the only year since 1946 to show an increase. # "The Christmas-New Year's holiday season is the peak acci dent period of the year," said Ned H. Dearborn, president of the Council, "and traffic accidents present the most acute problem. Heavier travel and the festive spirit of the season always add to the normal winter hazards of bad weather, slippery roads and added hours of darkness. "And more people will be tra veling this year," he said. "Ser vice men and women will be coming home on holiday leaves and some families will be travel ing to military camps to spend the holidays with those who can not come home. "This increased travel calls for extra caution on holiday rush ? i just enough to be careful When driving on the highway or cross ing streets and in recreational I and home activities ? everyone [Will be assured, of a much hap pier Christmas and New Year's, j "Don't letfl^ath take your holi day?or anyone else's," Mr. Dear | born urged.

Close to half a million of these cars have been built and sold this year. Close to half a million people have checked their features and prices against the field? and decided they'd better buy Tiuick. . ? ? As to prices? they start down below some sixes. And whether you price the SPECIAL, the SUPKR or the Roadmastbr, you'll find, on a cents-per ' f' ? pound basis, that few. other cars can touch them for value. And this is for sure! When it conies to perform ance?ride?the way they handle and hold the road ? and thrifty use ot fuel and oil ? Buicks -have never been finer. That's another way of saying that coil springs on all four wheels? Dynaflow*? torque-tube drive ?and Buick's high-compression, high-economy - Fireball power produce an out-of-this-world combination.
