Rs P. Hamilton, secretary of the
Newark Automobile club declar-
ed today in announcing distri-
{ button to schools of this area of
the March AAA-OSAA safety
poster entitled keep from Be-
tween Parked Cars"
"The new poster, designed to
emphasize the danger spot be-
tween two parked cars, and the
danger from the fast approach
ing cars whose drivers general
ly cannot see a person hidden
by a parked car, is one of the
series on Facing and Avoiding
Danger, which the club is furn-
ishing teachers as part of its
civic safety program" Mr.. Ham
il Assaid.
Lesson sheets, also being Is
sued to teachers with sugges-
tions for using the poster effec-
lively, point out that the parked
car situation presents three
sources of danger; the car in
front may back up and hit the
pedestrian; the rear car may go
forward and injure him; or a car
in the roadway may strike him
if he passes the line of parked
cars.
xAdults too can learn some
( thing valuable this month from
the lesson being given thous-
ands of children in this COM
munity," it was pointed out.
Observation of traffic prac-
tices of those afoot throughout
the country by the American
Automobile Association has
shown that children are much
more careful in their use of
streets than are older persons. :"

to the cost of harvesting, pack
ing and the package in which it
is placed. 1t requires $500 tons
of coal to heat the greenhouses
each year. Cultivation, heat,
sterilization of soil and .fertiliza-
tion of the crop cost $4,000 an
acre year.
Because prices are based on
supply and demand, the selling
price can't be set on the cost of
production. Therefore profit
seldom is figured, Mr.. Weiant
said.
For instance, a 10-pound bas-
ket of lettuce will vary in price
from 25 cents to $3.50. Some
times when a crop is over-abun-
dant, the prices will fall until
the selling price is below the
actual cost of shipping.

For 35 years the Warren S.
Weiant & Sons, Inc, local green
house, has produced vegetables
not the kinds abundant in the
summer, but those which are
found on the vegetable stands
several weeks before the regular
season.
Only three of these out-of-
season vegetables are raised
here: Tomatoes, cucumbers and
lettuce. After 35 years of ex-
pertinent and study, the local
concern has found that these
three have the most stable de-
mand and also are the best-liked
of all winter vegetables.
Too, the local firm produces
these three because of the ship
ping seasons. Together they
fill the year. Tomatoes are
ready for shipment from May to
August, cucumbers from Febtu-
ary to August, and lettuce from
October to May.
Annually 100000 pounds of
lettuce, 100000 pounds of GU
cumbers and 100000 pounds of
tomatoes are shipped to eastern
and central localities. Very lit
tie of the product is sold in
Newark. Columbus, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Detroit, Pittsburgh
and Chicago receive most of the
produce.
The local concern was started
by the late Warren S. Weiant.
Since his death the greenhouse
has been managed by his two
sons, Carl A. Weiant, president,
and Warren S. Weiant, Jr. sec
retary-treasurer.
Twenty-Five employees are re-
quired to tend the crops. Dur
ing the busy shipping time, three
or four extra employees are add
ed.
The third largest greenhouse
in Ohio, the local firm has eight
acres under glass. The entire
plant Is heated by a 750-horse-
power boiler plant which was
constructed in 1922. Since that
time few additions have been
made to the greenhouse and lit
tie change of employment has
been noted.
Business has continued to
grow during these years and the
supply has been met by better
production and harder plants.
All three crops are raised here
from the seed. After taking
shape the tiny plants are trans
planted into flats, where they
grow until they are large
enough to transplant in the
greenhouse. Here they require
great care. Lack of sunshine is
the natural element which the
greenhouse men find most diff
cut to overcome.
In a mild winter, when tenn
peratures seldom dip lower than
freezing, the skies usually are
overcast. The heating problem
is greater in mild weather be-
cause the cracks and openings
in the greenhouses are not froz-
en- tight and much heat is lost.
When temperatures range from
below freezing to zero the wealth
er usually is clear and furnishes
plenty of sunshine and the open
ings are frozen tight.
Because the product is perish
able, all of it must be shipped
by express. The cost of ship
ping the crop 100 miles Ia equal
