The woman who forever nags her husband about money will eventually wonder why he seems to prefer to loaf uptown. The Federal Government will never be able to economize as long as every congressman is judged by his ability to “bring home the bacon.” DRINKING AND DRIVING Just about everyone is convinced that drink ing and driving is not conducive to long life, morality, or even financial security. It is good, nevertheless, to hammer home this point every so often. The role of the drinking driver in accidents is probably greater than the statistics indicate. On the average something around twenty-two percent of the drivers involved in fatal acci dents are established as having been drinking. Detailed studies, however, which have been made in certain places, indicate that more than fifty percent of those involved in fatal accidents had been ddinking. Another point, which is often not appreciated, is the fact that the slightly-gay driver is also a dangerous one. Unlike the obviously drunken driver, who is given a wide berth, the driver who has had a few drinks, but not enough to affect his appear ance or actions, is deceptively dangerous. All of us should remember this and use our in fluence to constantly stress the dangers and temptations which frequently affect both young and old in our modern-day society. LET’S SAVE LIVES Every reader of the NEWS should be inter ested in any plan that might tend to reduce the number of persons killed and injured on our Highways. The toll of the dead and maimed constitutes a national scandal. A steady campaign has been waged by traffic officers to educate the users of motor vehicles in the proper manner of their operation. This publicity program has produced good results but, nonetheless, nearly ninety persons dies in highway accidents every day o fthe year. Hun dreds are hospitalized for serious injuries and thousands suffer minor injuries each day. The inancial loss, including property damage, cost of funerals and treatment and loss of time, not to mention the earning value of those who die, runs into the millions. It is high time to take drastic action to save lives and money. In addition, there should be a more rigid en forcement of all traffic regulations.. T his will do more than anything to make the automobile driver conscious of safety rules and the rights of pedestrains and other motorists on the streets and highways. Especially there should be appre hension of those who drive under the influence of intoximants. Drivers’ licenses should be re voked for repeated participation in accidents. The Forsyth County News A. S. C. NEWS Accomplishments of Georgia's two largest anti most important farmer-type Conservation Programs administered by the State Agricul tural Stabilization and Conserva tion Committee indicate an increase over 1957, John F. Bradley, State Administrative Officer for the State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, stated to day. I The Agricultural Conservation Program and the Conservation Re serve Program of the Soil Bank assist farmers by sharing in the cost of establishing approved con servation practices, thereby con serving our land, water, wildlife and natural resources. Preliminary reports of the major conservation accomplishments of the two pro grams combined were 169,428 acres of permanent vegetaive cover es tablished 154,993 acres planted to tree seedlings and woodland im provement, 1.032 farm ponds con structed for livestock water or wild life improvement, 408,405 acres of winter and summer cover crops seeded. A total of 39,898 farms par ticinated in thesp programs in 1958 earnings $9,236,547 in cost-share payments. Bradley stated that this means about one farm in every four participated in one or both of these programs during the year. The Agricultural Conservation Program offers cost-sahring assist ance to farmers to help pay part of the cost of applying needed con servation measures to their land. Payment rates vary according to the work being done. However, cost-share payments average about 50 percent of the cost on the ex tent approved in advance by the County ASC Committees. Farmers pav the balance of the cost, and in addition, furnish their labor and machinery. In this process farm ers are assisted in performing ad ditional conservation above that which could be performed with their own resources. Som" of the 1958 conservation accomplishments under the ACP are: Permanent vegetative cover established on 151,140 acres, tree seedlings planted o 25.165 acres, improvement of permanent pasture and ha v land on 63,158 acres, wood land improved on 9,122 acres, win ter cover seeded on 317,714 acres, summer cover seeded on 90,691 acres, lime applied on 125,171 acres constructing 2.973.156 feet of ter races, laid 59,060 feet pipeline, for livestock water, constructing 1.015 dams for livestock water and irri gation, drilled 976 wells for live stock water. I The conservation reserve of the i Soil Bank provides for the with drawal of cropland from production helping to adjust total crop acre age more nearly in line with the demand. At the same time, it pro vides and asists farmers in estab lishing and maintaining sound con servation practices on the land they put in the Reserve. Unlike the Agricultural Conservation Program in addition to the sharing of the cost of establishing conservation practices, this program a’so makes annual rental payments during ihe period each contract is in effect. Annual payments to farmers in the Stte for countracts in effect in 1958 amounted to 59.952.128. Both the AC Program and the Conserva tion Reserve program of the Soil Bank are voluntarv programs, i Some of the 1958 conservation accomplishments under the CRP program are: Establishing nerman ent vegetative cover on 18.288 acres planting 120.T06 acres of trees, eon struction of 17 fish ponds and one irrigation pond, and establishing 78 acres for wildlife habitat. Approval of cost-shares the ACP Program and contracts un der the Conservation reserve no gram are administered by local County ASC Committeemen. Under certain conditions a farm mav par ticipate in both urograms, but cost shares are not approved under both programs on the same acreage. Present indications are that parti cipation in these two programs for the year 1959 will be even larged than 1955, said Mr. Bradley.
