HOME MEAT SUPPLY There are now 141 meat cur ing plants in Georgia ready to co-operate with farmers in cur- j ing enough pork to supply the i needs of each farm family ac cording to Extension Service! livestock specialists. Hog prices! are good now but farmers are reminded that it is more impor tant than ever before to butcher and cure enough pork this year for home needs. In this way they can be assured of plenty of meat in spite of a probable meat rationing program. Curing pork at home also relieves wartime transportation and packing fa cilities for other necessary com modities, OVERSEAS YULETIDE MAIL DEADLINE SET If you have a son, a brother, a husband, a sweetheart, or a cousin in the armed forces serv - ing outside the continental Unit ed States, you’ll undoubtedly ! want to remember him at Christ mas.

Skunk in Hero Role The lowly unpopular skunk has been hailed as the new woodland I hero of the land by the American Wildlife institute. Grub worms were harboring on the New York con servation department’s Saratoga Nursery, world’s largest forest tree production plant. Along came the skunk and found himself over whelmed with a delicious plenty ol the things he holds best in life. And grub worms make a tasty mor sel for skunks. ; For Highway Safety, Here Are ‘l2 Commandments' STATE COLLEGE, PA.—Ameri can automobile operators were pro ! vided today with “12 command ments” for blackout driving by Amos E. Neyhart, administrative 1 head of the Institute of Public Safe ty at the Pennsylvania State college. Neyhart claims that accident tolls will mount during blackouts unless drivers are extremely cautious. In listing his 12 “do’s and don’ts” Neyhart placed first and foremost the warning “stay home if you can.” His rules follow: 1. STAY HOME. Don’t drive ex cept for absolute emergency if you I are home when a warning is sound- I ed. 2. MASK CAR LIGHTS. If you are in areas where blackouts are likely to occur, keep material for temporary masks in your car. 3. DRIVE HOME. When air raid warning sounds, stop your car at right-hand curb, turn off lights while putting on headlight masks, and drive home immediately. 4. LOCK YOUR CAR. If no masks are available, park your vehicle off main traffic arteries, preferably on private property. Turn out all lights and lock car securely to pre vent possible use by saboteurs. 5. ADJUST EYES TO DARK. If you must drive, wait from 15 to 30 seconds for your eyes to become adjusted to darkness. 6. OPEN WINDSHIELD. Regard less of weather, open your wind shield if possible. 7. DRIVE SLOWLY AND WITH ALERTNESS. Never drive more than 15 miles per hour. Assume pe destrian doesn’t see you. 8. USE YOUR HEAD. Prepare for an emergency stop. Keep well to the right of the road. Passing is extremely hazardous in a blackout. 9. TAKE SPECIAL CARE AT CROSSINGS AND TURNS. Practi , cally stop at intersections. The sides of your car are almost invisi ble. You can increase visibility by placing white adhesive tape on edge of running board and on fenders. 10. ALLOW FOR BLACKOUT HANDICAPS. Watch carefully for traffic signs and signals. 11. NEVER BLOCK ROAD. Leave extra space near fire hydrants and park at least 25 feet from corners. 12. DIRECT LIGHT BEAMS 1 DOWNWARD. Masks should be con ! structed as directed by the Office l of Civilian Defense and should direct i your light beams downward. Avoid ; leakage of lights. A Quick Review of the Life of Navy Man Perry Oliver Hazard Perry (1785-1819), American naval officer, was born in Rocky Brook, South R. I. Entering the navy as a midshipman in 1799 at the age of 14, he joined his father’s ship, the General Greene. He served in the Tripoli tan war. In 1811 he was married to Elizabeth Champlin Mason and they had five children. In 1813 he was assigned to the command of Lake Erie and on Sep tember 10 engaged the British in the famous battle which resulted in the capture of the entire British squad ron and was to be immortalized in Perry’s laconic diSpatch, “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Perry died in 1819 of yellow fever at Port of Spain, Trinidad. In 1826 his body was taken to Newport, R. I. and was buried there in Island cem etery. Fox Friend or Enemy? The question of whether the fox is a friend or enemy to man has been submitted to scientific inquiry by Dr. Adolph Murie, of the federal park service, who studied the diets of the fox during an eight-months period on the 1,200-acre reserve of the University of Michigan, near Pinckney, Mich. Rabbits were found to be the fox’s favorite food. This is considered a debit by rabbit hunt ers, but a credit by orchardists and farmers. The fox was found to catch > game birds, but in small numbers, and not during the nesting season. Offsetting this is his liking for June bugs, the cubs devouring great numbers of them. His catching of i mice and lemming could be either beneficial or neutral. By killing moles and shrews he reduces valu able insect destroyers. He takes muskrats when the water cover for them is very low. Turtle and snake eating is regarded as neutral, except that destruction of snapping turtles is considered beneficial to fish and water birds. Gen. Jackson Decapitated! Over a century after he waged successful warfare without injury, Gen. Andrew Jackson was “decapi tated” and suffered other minor “in juries” to himself and his mount. The bronze and iron statue of the warrior and his horse that have reared in the center of Jackson square, the heart of the historic French quarter in New Orleans since 1856, has fallen prey to time. Rust split a front leg of the horse, ate holes in the saddle and nibbled on the legs of Jackson himself. A group of playful youngsters re cently sent the head of the proud general tumbling into the dust. Jackson’s head once more, how ever, gazes over the surrounding scenes and Dr. Robert Glenk, cura tor of the Louisiana state museum, cleaned the edifice with kerosene, repaired the holes and gave the bronze and iron likeness a coat of paraffin oil to protect it from fur ther destruction by the elements.
