Regulations
On Go-Carts,
Bikes Listed
Parents considering Christmas
gifls of go-carts, motor bikes and
motor scooters for their young
sters have been cautioned by
Public Safety Director Col. R. H.
Burson to “know the law about
such vehicles before allowing
them to be operated on public
streets and highways.”
Col. Burson said the first and
foremost requirement for opera
tion of such a motor vehicle is a
driver’s license ... a requirement
that is frequently violated in that
parents allow their youngsters to
operate such vehicles before they
reach 16, the legal age to get a
driver’s license.
In a recent ruling by Attorney
General Arthur Bolton, it was es
tablished that a go-cart must have
the same safety devices as an
automobile before operation on
public roads or streets . . . in
cluding headlights, stoplights,
and turn signals. They also must
be registered and inspected an
nually.
Motor scooters and motor bikes
with engines of five horsepower
or less must be equipped with
headlights and stoplights. Addi
tionally, operators of motor bikes,
scooters, and go-carts are re
quired to wear protective head
gear ... a regulation that is
often violated.
Col. Burson said the regula
tions are not meant to place a
hardship on the youngsters or
their parents but must be en
forced for everyone’s protection.
The law, as written, generally
prohibits the use of go-carts on
public roads by the nature of the
regulations. Col. Burson said,
however, there is no specific reg
ulation against the operation of
such vehicle on private property.
HANGING MISTLETOE
Hanging mistletoe in the home
is a tradition which originated
with Druid priests. These an
cient believed the plant was a
sign of peace and hope.
LAWN TIPS
No matter how well a garden
or public landscape development
is planned and planted, a regular
maintenance program must be
carried out to insure beauty and
utility over the years, says T. G.
Williams Jr., head of the land
scape department of the Univer
sity of Georgia Cooperative Ex
tension Service.
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Select a cut Christmas tree
early when the choice is wide.
Apply a freshness test before
you buy it. With proper care
the tree can be kept fresh until
Christmas.
To determine how fresh a tree
is, do this: Thump the butt hard
on the ground. If needles shower
down, it’s a sign of dryness.
Next pull the needles. If they
have good resistance, the tree is
relatively fresh.
Rub a finger across the butt.
If it is sticky with resin, that,
too is a sign of freshness. Spread
lower branches. If they’re
springy and sturdy, they will
hold ornaments well. Odor or
fragrance is another mark of
freshness. Avoid a Christmas
tree with browned patches of
needles.
The butt of a tree should be
6 to 7 inches long and in sym
metry the branch spread should
be half the height of a tree.
Taken home, the tree should
be given this care: First, cut a
diagonal slice an inch thick
from the butt and peel back
the bark another inch.
Place the tree in a bucket of
cold water. Keep the tree in a
garage, porch or other cool place
until you are ready to bring it
indoors. Add water to the con
tainer periodically. Coating the
needles with an anti-wilt spray
compound will prevent needles
drying out and falling. Or you
may sprinkle the needles daily
with water. This reduces
transpiration.

Keep your holiday season un

strike when Christmas trees ac
cidentally ignite.
That’s the advice of Dean De-
Lamar, manager of the Georgia
Power Company’s safety depart
ment, who advises Georgia fam
ilies to take the following pre
cautions:
1. Use only a freshly cut tree,
one not dried out by prolonged
storage. A tree is fresh if the
needles do not fall off when the
tree is bounced down hard. An
other sign of freshness is a tree
