Pedestrians
Walk Head-Down
To Eternity
RALEIGH — “Don't walk head
down to eternity!"
In ‘hose words assistant motor
vehicle commissioner Joe Garrett
advised Tar Heel pedestrians to
do their part this week in cutting
down pedestrian accidents which
killed 238 walkers on North Caro
lina streets and highways last
year.
Garrett is an outdoor enthusi
ast. He likes to take long strolls
and is something of an expert on
walking.
“But walking with shoulders
hunched up and head down is
unhealthy in more ways *han
one,*’ he said. “Especially when
you’re walking in traffic. It’s one
of the surest ways to walk your
self to death."
Garret pointed out that in ord
er to stay safe in traffic a walk
er must be aware of what’s going
on around him, and he can’t do
this if his eyes are focused on the
ground or if his face is Iburied in
his coat collar.
But posture isn't the only thing
the commissioner is concerned
about. An erect carriage won’t do
you much good, he said, if it car
ries you into danger.
“I’m constantly amazed by the
traffic antics of some otherwise
intelligent people,” Garrett said.
“They cross streets between in
tersections, dash out from behind
parked cars, and disregard traf
fic signs and signals.”
He .said that as long as pedes
trians > continue to act in this
fashion the pedestrian death toll
will continue to be unnecessarily
high,.
He reminded Tar Heels that the
state suffered 116b road fatalities
last year. The 238 pedestrian
deaths, he said, pointed up what
he meant about the toll being
“unnecessarily high.",
“Walkers must learn that stay
ing safe in traffic is a serious
matter,” he continued. “It calls
for complete attention to the* job.
One false move., one split second
of inattention can toe disastrous.
The wise pedesrian walks as if
his life depends on his alertness
— and, as a matter of fact, it
does!”

High Producing
Milkers Need
Plenty Grain I
"It pays to feed grain to dairy
cows," says George Hyatt, Jr..,
specialist in charge of dairy ex
tension at North Carolina State
College. “This is especially true
for the high producing ones,” he
adds, "for these cows just can’t
eat enough high quality silage
and hay to supply all their
needs.”
Attention to grain feeding is
especially important now, says
Hyatt, as this is the time of year
many dairymen have cows fresh
en. Milk is in great demand, ma
king large supplies necessary.
These fresh cows need lots of
feed to keep them in high produc
tion, he warns. /
Admittedly, says Hyatt, the
cheapest source of feed is plenty
of high quality, home grown hay
and silage. These high producing
cows will eat 90 to 100 pounds of
silage a day when little hay is
fed. Hyatt points out that even
when 10 to 15 pounds of hay is
fed daily, they will still consume
40 to 60 pounds of silage.
Even with these large amounts
of roughage being consumed,
cows producing upwards of 30
pounds of milk daily need plenty
of grain too, if they are going to
keep up production and not lose
weight. Loss of body weight, he
warns, will soon mean lowered
production. Grain is essential to
supply energy badly needed for
milk production and body main
tenance.
Hyatt says some dairymen feel
that feeding grain to dairy cows
is dangerous. 'They talk about
burning out their caws. This isn’t
likely to happen, he says, for gen
erally it’s “Hollow Belly” that
ruins most cows.
According to Hyatt, many hea
vy producing cows need 12 to 15
pounds of grain cj,aily, and in some
cases even more should be fed
to meet their needs. The grain
need not be anything fancy. Hy
att says a simple mixture of
home grown grains such as corn
or barley or milo and oats with
a protein supplement such as
soybean or cottonseed meal with
minerals and salt will supply the
badly needed energy and protein.
