France Ge+tinq
New Drink Habit

More French men are drinking
more milk today. Just year
ago, only seven cities in the coun-
try of Louis Pasteur were pro-
ducing bottled pasteurized milk.
Today the number has gone up
to "A, says Cheese Reporter.
Milk to most Frenchrnen has
always been for infants and in
valids. 1t was difficult for them to
understand the kick that an
American seems to get out of a
glass of ice cold milk.
Milk was taken off the ration
list last year. Since that time a
dairy modernization program has
been underway. The program is
backed by the Marshall plan.
There are five pasteurizing and
bottling plants alone nodernized
with 100 million francs ($250,000)
from Marshall plan counterpart
funds. These funds are francs that
come back from selling dollar inn
ports.
AS a result of the dairy mod
ernization program the infant
mortality rate in Paris is lower
than at any time in history.
French dairymen believe that as
the people are shown the health
giving aspects of pasteurization,
they will drink more milk.

Vaccina+e To
Reduce Risk In
Feeder Lambs

Much of the risk associated
with feeder lambs can be elm
mated by having the young ami
mails vaccinated against entero-
toxemia and by close attention to
several important points in man.
agement, the American Founda.
ton for Animal Health reported
today.
In lots where lambs have been
properly vaccinated against en-
terotoxemia, usual losses have
been sharply reduced authorities
report.
The Foundation explained that
this disease occurs because. of
spore-forming germ commonly
lfound in the digestive system of
sheep. When lambs are put on
heavy rations, the germ may un-
dergo a change that produces
poisons in the lambs system.
The disease also strikes baby
lambs when the ewes are on rich
pastures or on over-rich rations.
THE transition from range to
feed lot is a critical period in
lambs life" the Foundation says"
SO the change should be made
as easy as possible for the young
animals. At first, they should
get plenty of wild hay, with an
open shed for shelter.

WINTER WISE DRIVERS MUST
WINTERIzE HABITS AT wheel

Be winter-wise and winterize
your driving habits.
That is the advice of the Ma
tional Safety Council for motor
lists facing the hazards of the
winter driving season.
Despite less travel in winter,
the mileage death rate is high,
with December usually the peak
month of the year. For that rea-
son, only winter-wise driving hab-
its are good insurance against ac-
cidents,
Failure of motorists to change
their driving techniques for win
ter, as they change the oil in
their cars, is the cause of most
accidents. The Council offered
these tips to avoid slips:
Try Brakes at Start
Get the feel of the road. Try
your brakes gently while driving
slowly and away from other cars
to find out just how slippery the
road is.
Slow down adjust your speed
to road and weather conditions so
that you have time to stop or
maneuver safely.
Keep windshield clear of snow
and frost SO you can see danger.
Keep your headlights, wind
shield wiper and defroster in good
condition.
Use tire chains on snow and
ice. They are the best bet for
stop-and-go traction. Some of the
new "winterized" tires give some
margin Of safety over conven-
tional tires, but the improvement
is not great enough to warrant
less caution or the elimination of
chains when driving under severe
snow and ice conditions.
Pump your brakes to slow down
or stop. Jamming them on will
cause a skid.
Follow at safe distance. 1t
takes three to II times as far to
stop on snow and ice as on dry
concrete.

Freezer Quits.
Food SpoiIs If
Current Fails

Stormy Winter Weather is hard
on power lines. When breakdowns
occur, food stored in home
freezers is in danger. You can
lose a good many dollars unless
you know what to do and at
once.
/. P.Blauser, extension agricul-
tural engineer, Ohio State Uni
versity, says the first step is to
keep the freezer closed tightly.
Opening it will allow the cold
to escape that should be kept in
side the unit to maintain the tenn
perature.
If power is expected to be off
for "a hours or longer, find out
about temporary storage for the
food. Your local locker plant op-
orator may be able to help you. If
he has no storage space available,
inquire about dry ice. A small
amount placed in the freezer will
help to maintain temperature.
Don't take chances on food
spelling. Some units will maintain
safe temperature for not more
than 6 to 8 hours with the power
oft. Check your freezer to de-
termine, if possible, how long it
will maintain temperature. Re-
member, too, that food win stay
frozen longer in full box than
in one only partly filled.

Set New Records
At Chicago Show

CHICAGO, December z - The
International Live Stock Exposi-
ton began it's second half CEN
tury in a spectacular way at the
51st edition of the big show which
closed Saturday in the Interna-
tional Amphitheatre at the Chi
cago Stock Yards.
Despite perilous driving con-
ditions, brought about by adj
verse weather, attendance exceed
ed the 100000 mark.
The 1000 head of livestock en-
tered in the Exposition were
among the highest number on re-
cord and both exhibitors and vis-
itors agreed that the quality of
animals in all divisions topped
any previous show.
Entries came fran Maine to
California this year, a total of
Al states and 5 Canadian prov
inces. Four states were represent
ed by entries for the first time
and many first time" exhibitors
were present.
Show auctions, both for fat and
breeding stock, brought owners
over one and a half million dol
lars. Steers raised by boys and
girls for the Junior Livestock
Feeding Contest were auctioned
at an average of $4,000 per cwt.,
nearly four dollars over the top
price paid on the open market
during the same period.
Lloyd Robinson, 19 year old
All boy of Big Springs, Texas,
captured grand champion honors
with 1925 pound Hereford steer.
The animal sold for $1,000
pound to the Congress Hotel of
Chicago, smashing the previous
record of $11.50 paid last year.
The hotel exhibited the cham
pion steer in their lobby during
the week following the show.
The grand champion barrow of
the Exposition, Hampshire,
owned by Joe Pecharich and Son,
of Bushnell, Illinois, also establi-
shed a new high price when it
sold for $310 a pound.
Another record was broken
when the champion carlot of
sheep sold for $500 per cwt.

TV Antenna A
Safety Hazard

Television antennas are going
up all over the country, and SO
are accidental deaths caused by
them.
A file folder at the National
Safety Council is receiving more
and more case histories and news
paper items telling a grim story
of death on the roof top.
Amateur handymen account for
nearly all of the deaths, the Coun-
Gil said. When television sets were
first sold, the price included pro-
fessional installation. In recent
months, sets have been offered
with antenna kit which the set
owner could erect himself.
Power Lines Are Risk
AS a result, antennas, have been
put up without regard to nearby
power lines, attached to crumb-
ling chimneys, even placed on
utility poles carrying heavy volt
ages. Most fatalities have been
due to electrocution by coming in
contact with power lines, al
though falling accidents to per-
sons unfamiliar with roof top
work have added to the toll.
In rural areas, and small towns,
where 45 to 60-foot antenna poles
are necessary to pick up distant
transmission centers, improper
bracing has resulted in collapse
across power lines and the inter
ruption of electrial service in en-
tire communities. Fires and live
wires have added to the dangers.
The Council urges all TV buy
ers to make sure the price in
cludes installation by the dealer
or a competent service company.
