Tobacco Props On 3 Varieties To Be Cut 50% WASHINGTON — The growing popularity of filter-tipped cigar ettes was cited by the Agriculture Department in announcing Tues day a 50 per cent cut in 1957 price supports for three varieties of flue-cured tobacco. The department said market demand for the three important varieties—l 39, 140 and 244—has slackened because they lack the stronger flavor and aroma re quired in filter cigarettes. Support levels for these varie ties, regardless of grade, will be one-half the rate for comparable grades of other varieties, the de partment said. It made the announcement now to give growers plenty of time to shift to production of varieties in greater demand from tobacco manufactures. Supports for all grades of flue cured tobacco will be adjusted to market demands, the department said. There will be increases in the rates for the heavier-bodied orange and red grades, it said, and reductions in the rates for “1”, “11” and “KI” grades. The reductions will be substantial in the cases of “11” and “KI”, it added. A substantial proportion of this year’s flue-cured crop was in the three varieties which draw the 50 per cent cut in supports. Variety “139” was particularly important in this respect. Flue-cured tobacco is grown principally in the Southeast, notably Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Next year’s support rates in terms of cents per pound will be announced later. The 1956 rates averaged 48.9 cents. Safety Rules for Holiday Accident Prevention Given Holiday accident prevention was stressed this week in a six point program of precautions issued by the Georgia Society for Crippled Children and Adults, the Easter Seal Society. Joseph S. Adams of East J^oint, president, urged Georgians to prevent crippling through avoid able holiday mishaps, by heeding these simple safety rules: 1. Watch the fire. Christmas tree lights, flammable ornaments and mantel and table decoroations are hazards. Don’t use candles where there are children. 2. Teach children proper use of toys. Before you buy, examine playthings for sharp edges or pointed parts. Avoid pop guns, bows and arrows and BB guns for young children. 3. Handle gift wrapping mater ials carefully. Don’t leave the scissors where children can reach them. , 4. Entertain with caution. Watch scalds, bums and cuts while you’re in the kitchen pre paring the food. 5. Be careful in stores. Tem porary ramps or railing can be dangerous. Also, be considedrate in holiday crowds and patient with handicapped people you meet. Some people can move faster than others. 6. Follow basic good health rules. Get plenty of rest; good food and fresh air. Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas! ♦ v# . jT-s A *•* 1956 « ’ We hope old Sente * • brings to your house •* • • a full load of cheer? Gay's Restaurant । Nahunta, Georgia Christmas Tree Fire Safety Tips ATLANTA—Declaring that the Christmas tree brings more than its share of additional fire haz ards which plague the nation at Christmas time, Safety Fire Commissioner Zack D. Cravey today recommends the following safety rules: (1) Cut a growing tree or buy one that hasn’t dried out. (When too dry, tree branches are brit tle and shed needles easily.) (2) Stand the tree in water outdoors until ready for use. (3) Bring the tree indoors just before Christmas and take it out as soon afterwards as possible. (December 26, is recommended.) (4) The larger the tree the greater the hazard. (5) Just before setting up the tree, saw off the trunk at an jingle at least one inch above the original cut. (6) Place the freshly cut tree trunk in water and keep level of water above the cut the entire time the tree is indoors. (Check the water level at least once a day for absorption and evapora tion.) (7) Support the tree well. Don’t put it near sources of heat (fireplaces, radiators, etc.) or where, standing or fallen, it could block the way out of the room and out of the house in case of fire. (8) Do not use candles on the tree or near whre there is any chance for an open flame to con tact the tree or combustibles piled beneath the tree. (9) Use only electric lighting sets that bear the Underwriters’ Laboratories label. (10) Check lighting sets each year before using for frayed wires, loose connections, and broken sockets. (11) Be sure the fuse on the electrical circuit you use is not over 15 amperes. Road Project L. A.
