Dowling, Roger Davis, It has been reposted that if everyone wore safety belts when in a car, as many as 20,000 might be saved from death each year. Recent hearings in the Senate Commerce Committee on the implementation of the 1966 Highway Safety Act disclosed how far we still must go to make American drivers and their cars safe on the highways. One point of agreement did emerge during the questioning by Senators Hartke and Cook. Private industry and govern ment officials testified that seat belts are still the most reliable and effective device for passenger protection. Douglas Toms, who heads the National Highway Traffic Safe ty Administration which has been promoting air bags, or passive restraints, affirmed that seat belts would be an important continuing element in vehicle safety systems. Allstate Insur ance Company’s testimony, centering on its experiments with air bags, made it clear that seat belts most certainly should be required in conjunction with air bags. any FHA or FFA member as no plates will be sold at the door. Advance tickets are necessary so that we will know how much food to prepare and none will be waisted or no one will be slighted.

SEAT BELTS It is by now clear, future technology apart, that the American people have at their fingertips an effective and proven life-saver in their seat belt use increased to 75 percent or more, air bags probably wouldn’t be needed at all. Taking into account the estimated S3OO air bag add-on to new car price tags on top of the cost of government-mandated emission controls, and experts believe these are necessary, you’re talking about a signifi cant consumer pocketbook issue as well as (your own) survival in an accident. The few seconds you take to buckle up before driving are a small investment in your life and the safety of others in your car.

Your Opinions: Typical of America# W^ Women If women had voted in force in 1968, President Hubert Humphrey might well be sitting in the White House today. One can only speculate on the course history might have taken had the elections turn ed out differently four years ago, but there is no reason to speculate about the power women voters can exert. Right now, women make up 51% of America’s potential voting population. Because of this startling and significant statistic, Virginia Slims commissioned Louis Harris and Associates to conduct the 1972 Virginia Slims American Women’s Opinion Poll to find out how women feel about the signifi cant issues facing them as voters. Here are some of the findings: The Dominant Issues: Women in general, according to the Poll, are more concern ed about the war in Vietnam and drug abuse than are men. The younger women inter viewed tend to be more troubled by the war, the economy, racial problems, the environment and poverty than their elders, who are dis turbed more by drugs, crime, unemployment and taxes. Not surprisingly, black women place a high priority on the issues of poverty, un employment, education and housing. The Drug Problem: Os those women interviewed, 2 MANAGING PECANS Now is a good time to take soil tests around pecan trees. Ray Livingston, Extension Service horticulturist, says growers will need this addition al information to go along with leaf analysis results which have already been determined. He explains that a combination of the two—soil test and leaf analysis—helps in deciding the proper amount of fertilizer to be applied in February, 1973.

Main St. Voters Face the out of 3 feel that regular users of soft drugs, like marijuana, should be given medical and mental treatment rather than “stiff prison terms.” One in 6 women, however, advocate “stiff prison terms” for users of hard drugs “like heroin and speed.” Overall, less women than men recommend im prisonment for drug users. Crime In The Streets: Women (64% of those interviewed) feel “more afraid and uneasy on the streets today” than a year ago. And while 45% of the fe male respondents report the presence of guns in their homes, 80% favor strict gun control. The Pollution Problem: Women, by a wide margin of 9 to 1, feel that air and water pollution has gotten worse in the past few years. Nearly two-thirds of the women polled say they would be will ing to pay S3OO more for a car “to eliminate health risks from smog and pollution,” while the majority of women questioned also said they would be willing to pay 10% more for electricity to elimi nate environmental health hazards caused by generating plants. Recession, Inflation and Taxes: Three out of 5 women, the Poll discovered, feel the country is “in a reces sion” and nearly 3 out of 4 believe that taxes are “unreasonable.” So much so, that 3 out of 5 women say Read The Want Ads ‘Your friendly Ford Dealer’ Ph. 449-5758 Page 3 The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, October 26, 1972 Issues they “have reached the break ing point on the amount of taxes they pay.” Further, most women view these very taxes as a major cause of in flation. Government Spending: While majorities of women fa vor more government spend ing on pollution controls and education, they would like to see less spent on foreign aid, the space program and Vietnam. Interestingly, nearly half of the women approve of increased government funds to help the cities, but most are not willing to pay higher taxes to achieve this. And though most women support cuts in defense spending, they don’t want it done at the ex pense of placing the U.S. in a “second position behind the Soviet Union.” How do you feel about these issues?

SOYBEAN LOSSES Soybean harvest losses are tough any year, but this year they will be especially costly because of reduced yields. H. B. Goolsby, Extension Service engineer, advises growers to reduce ground speed of their combines as one way of saving more beans. He explains that many bean pods are set close to the ground because of the dry weather. “By reducing combine speed, you will be able to run the header closer to the ground,” he says.
