Stay Alive
Don't Tailgate
Tailgating—following too cho
sely the car ahead of you—is a
frequent cause for rear-end col
lisions that often spell tragic
accidents on our congested, high
speed highways.
What makes this type of ac
cident so senseless is that it
can be so easily prevented.
To avoid rear-end collisions,
the American Insurance As
sociation suggests this simple
driving rule:
A safe following distance is a
car length for each 10 miles an
hour you are driving. If you
are traveling 40 miles an hour,
for example, 72 feet would be a
reasonable following distance.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Snacks For
Pre-School
Children
Should the preschool child be
allowed snacks? Yes, if the sn
acks are considered as a part
of the total daily food Intake and
not just any food eaten in addition
to the regular meal.
Snacktime does not mean ir
regular eating between meals. It
should be planned for mid-morn
ing an mid-afternoon so as to be
at least two hours before meal
time. If snacks come too near
mealtime the child comes to the
table with a stomach so full of
food that he is not ready for
more.
Be sure snacks are varied and
include foods taken from the Bas
ic Four Food Groups. If a child
is allowed to take all snacks from
one food group, such as crackers
or cookies, he is likely to be less
well nourished than the child
whose snacks as well as regular
meals have various foods taken
from all four groups of the daily
food guide.
Planned snacks can keep a child
happy. A hungry child is often an
irritable one. Good snacks can
help provide the daily food needs
and help to develop the habit of
selecting foods which furnish the
essential nutrients as well as
energy.
Many foods are easily prepa
red and make nutritious snacks.
Foods on this list might be fresh
fruits such as apples and oran
ges, milk, carrot sticks, meats,
peanut butter or cheese sand
wiches, hard cooked eggs and
ready-to-eat cereal.
To reduce the irregular snack
ing habit and reduce the number
of snacks so that tots will eat
more food at mealtime, serve
interesting and attractive meals
in comfortable and pleasant sur
roundings. Then provide a good
example. If other family mem
bers are not frequent snackers,
the preschool child will be less
likely to want food between meals.

Hercules Board Os
Directors Met Here
The Board of Directors of
Hercules Incorporated held its
September meeting at the Oxford,
Georgia, plant Wednesday and
toured the new olefin fiber fac
ility.
In recent years one regular
meeting of the Board has been
held at a plant site instead of
in the company’s corporate head
quarters, Wilmington, Delaware.
This plan enables members of
the Board to take a firsthand
look at what is being done in
production at various locations
across the country. It also
affords them an opportunity to
meet with plant personnel. Only
a few of the members have vis
ited the Oxford plant before.
Attending the meeting were
Elmer F. Hinner, chairman of
the Board; Henry A. Thouron,
president; Board members
Werner C. Brown; Robert W.
Cairns; Jack G. Copeland, Jr.;
Edward G. Crum; John E. Good
man; Jack D. Hayes; John R. L.
Johnson, Jr.; Paul L. Johnstone;
E. Langford Jones; Myron W.
Krueger; John H. Long; John M.
Martin; John R. Ryan; Donald
H. Sheffield; Harvey J. Taufen;
and Robert A. Fulwiler, Jr.,
secretary of Hercules.
Production of olefin fiber at
this facility began in November,
