WATCH FOR GOATS!
Driving in
Turkey Can
Be Problem
Mrs. Edward Kicklighter in a
note tb her parents, Mr. and Mrs,
D* E. Dixon, enclosed a leaflet
on the driving precautions for Air
Force personnel stationed in A
dana, Turkey.
The information might be said
to give an impression of that part
of the world.
The leaflet lists several driving
hazards: pedestrians, animals,
and horse drawn wagons and
carts or parked unlighted ve
hicles, and gives the driver a so
lution as to how to cope with
each.
The major hazard is pedes
trians. Most of the people travel
around on bicycles, by horse or on
foot, and children are always
playing in the streets. The solu
tion is NOT to sound your horn
which simply means to the pedes
trian that you see him, therefore
he is safe, but to SLOW down im
mediately so that you can come
to a complete stop instantly —
and have the ability to spot po
tential accidents by thinking A
HEAD.
The animal hazard includes the
turtle-like plodding of goats and
sheep on their way to market or
a new grazing area. They are
herded on foot along the high
ways . . . and this is usually at
night, to avoid vehicles and ‘beat
the heat.’ The solution here is to
slow down, keep full control of
your vehicle so you might be able
to stop within range of your head
lights — be patient — and don’t
blow your horn!
An “off-the-foot” hazard in
cludes farmers going to market in
carts and horse-drawn wagons at
a speed of 5 (five) MPH, and ve
hicles which have had break
downs and are left on the high
ways, all unlighted and with no
reflectors.
For this problem, the driver
must adjust to the local customs
. . . that is if the farmer keeps
on carrying his produce to the
market, as he has been doing for
centuries, with unlighted vehicles!
“He figures YOU have the lights
to see HIM!”
And summarizing the situation,
not to mention other hazards:
narrow bridges, no sidewalks for
pedestrians, narrow and curving
mountain roads, “the principles of
good sense apply to all. You can
not control the actions of the
pedestrians or the child chasing
a ball into the street, but you do
control the vehicle.. .
Mrs. Kicklighter, her husband,
Capt. Edward Kicklighter and
children, Terri and Bonnie, have
recently become situated in Ad
ana, Turkey, having left The
States in June of this year.

Broilers Plentiful
For September Fare
Puzzled over what to serve the
family over the Labor Day week
end?
Choose plentiful broiler-fryers,
suggests the U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s Marketing Service.
Broiler-fryers are economical
and southeastern foodstores will
have plenty of top quality birds
throughout September to fill al
most every mealtime need, the
Agricultural Marketing Service
points out.
USDA offers the following sug
gestions for broiling chicken both
When shopping for broiler-fry
ers, USDA suggests considering
the cooking method to be used be
fore deciding what size bird to
buy.
When broilers are to be broiled
or barbecued — either indoors or
over the outdoor grill — allow a
bout one-fourth to one-half bird
for each serving. If they are to
be fried, roasted, or stewed, al
low about one-half pound per per
serving.
USDA home economists sug
gest selecting frozen broilers care
fully to make sure that wrappers
are not torn or broken, and the
poultry is still solidly frozen,
indoors and over the grill:
Split the bird down the back
first and then, if desired, cut into
halves through the breastbone.
Break joints and cut off the wing
tips.
Brush the chicken on both sides
with melted fat and sprinkle with
salt and pepper.
Preheat the broiler or grill,
and grease broiler rack lightly.
Place chicken on the rack skin
side down when cooking indoors,
or skin-side up if broiling over
charcoal. The bird should be 4 to
5 inches from the heat.
Turn the chicken as it browns
so that it will cook evenly and
baste often with pan drippings or
other melted fat during cooking.
Cook until well done —about 35
to 45 minutes.

A Navy experimental vessel, called the “Hydro

a cushion of air. A fan in the center of the skimmer
forces the air into a chamber underneath the ship.
Two skegs, one on either side of the hull, and a
"water wall" at each end of the boat trap air to
lone the cushion. She is 21 feet long, about 11
feet wide, and weighs approximately two tons
whew empty. Only the skegs and screws touch the
water when the fan is operating, the rest of the
boat cruises about two feet above the water.
