Speaking Of
PUBLIC SAFETY
81

Public officials have found that
public education regarding night
driving hazards has paid big divi-
dends. According to the National
Street and Traffic Safety Lighting
Bureau, these are the rules that
have helped reduce night driving
accidents where street lighting is
bad:
/. Slow down. Don't regulate
your speed by posted limits alone.
Remember, speed must be gov
erned by conditions, and darkness
is . condition that calls for eau
tion.
2. Have your car checked fire.
quently, In darkness, immediate
response Of the vehicle is 8 must.
Double-check all lights.
8. Be alert. kept q constant
watch for pedestrians and for We
hicles with dim lights or no lights
at all.
4. Don't wear tinted glasses at
night. The advantage they offer in
reducing glare is more than offset
by the disadvantage In reduced
vision.
5. Use headlights properly. Use
upper beam only on rural high
ways when no approaching car is
within 1000 feet. Use lower beam
when oncoming cars approach,
when you are overtaking another
car, and when driving in cities and
residential areas.
6. Dim your lights, even though
an oncoming driver fails to dim
his. Trying to get even by binding
him is risking your neck. Maintain
control Of your car by looking at
the right shoulder Of the highway.
Z. Be sure your lights are on
before you pull onto q thorough
fare at night.
8. Never stop on the travelled
portion Of q roadway at night. If
you must stop, pull completely off
the roadway, leaving parking and
dome lights on. Garry flares for
use In emergencies.

In 1875? 1 canned some fruits

tered two quarts of fruits that
year in the All County Achieve
ment Day exhibit and won a red
ribbon and cash awards of
which l was very proud. This
was my first time to receive
county recognition. This was
when / really became interested

The fourth year which was in
1858, I canned % quarts of fruits

ther can 440 quarts Of both fruits
and vegetables. I used the pressure

water bath for fruits. I figure we
saved over 5000, by canning. was
County winner also that year.
We were very happy to have two
women from Turkey to visit us
and see our fruits and vegetables
which We had canned. They en-
joyed seeing our storage place,
which is in a dark, cool basement
The fifth year which was 1854
l canned 35 quarts of fruits and
vegetables alone, and helped Mo-
ther can 375 quarts OF fruits and
vegetables. We had a dry season
last year and didn't get to can as
much as we would like to have

We are observing National All
Club Week, March through II.
Its purpose IS to encourage all Al
Club members to take inventory
of themselves and their project
work and set higher goals OF
achievement for 1855.
Other purposes of this celebra-
ton is: To inform the general
public as to objectiveS and activi-
ties in All Club work; To give All
Club members an opportunity to
develop a working knowledge OF
improving family and community
living: To acquaint parents in ev-
cry community with what All
members are already doing; To
give recognition to All club work
from the standpoint of the Nation,
State. County. and local COM
munity through the press, maga-
zines, radio. and televiSion.
We have Alb All boys in Lin
coin County doing All club work
Each boy is required to carry one
project in addition to the health
project. This organization is vol
untary and only those who want
to work, are members.
In regard to projects, All boys
can choose almost any subject re-
lating to farming or homemaking
Here is a list of the more popular
ones: dairy calf. beef calf. poultry
pig, cotton. corn, peanuts, garden
forestry. wildlife. safety. health
crafts. farm and home electric
and tractor maintenance.
We have II clubs organized in
Lincoln County. The County ano
Home Agents meet with each clut
once a month in the schools where
they are organized. Each club has
their officers. president, vice. pres
ident, secretary, song leader, re-
porter. and a teacher sponsor. We
usually have one hour periods fol

of the program, which usually

The boss drives his men; the
leader coaches them
The boss depends upon authori-
ty: the leader on good will
The boss inspires fear; the lead
er inspires enthusiasm.
The boss says IT: the leader
says We.
The boss assigns the task; the

The boss says Get here on
time; the leader gets there ahead
Of time.
The boss fixes the blame for the
breakdown: the leader fixes the

The boss knows how it is done;

The boss saws Go; the leader

My Guernsey calf. Rhyneland's S
Johnny Ann. was born in Septem-
Der, 1858. I helped teach her to
drink from bucket after few
days. We fed her Calf Startena
ard alfalfa hay. After about a
month 1 fed her u pct. dairy feed.
About the middle of July I
started gentling her. started by
taking her to water. I brushed her
down each day and led her around,
Mr.. Stoudemire, Mr.. Yoder. and
Mr.. Wright helped me very much.
They sheared the long hair off
and told me how to Smoothe down
the ridges with sandpaper. They
also showed me how to handle
Johnny Ann.
At the bus yard, where tn e
county show was held, we were
all busy brushing, washing. and
combing before the show. OF
course. we had time for lot Of
fun. too.
When Showtime came We show
ed our calves in the ring by class
es. Johnny Ann was lucky enough
to be among the blue ribbons and
1 was very proud.
We went to StateSyille the next
iay. Here. Johnny Ann won an
other blue ribbon and got to go
back for ShowmanShip. In all. I
won $500 prize money. SO you
can see this project is profitable
as well as fun.

What 4-H Has
Meant To Me
BY JOAN REEP,
Union Club 1864

What All has meant to me?
When 1 stop TO think about All
work my mind goes back eight
years ago when at the age of ten
l Joined the Union Junior All
Club. From almost the first grade
in school I had heard about All
and could hardly wait until I was
old enough to join.
That first year. as most girls do,
I carried cooking and sewing. Ev-
erything was new and interesting.
In sewing l made most of the ar
ticleS by hand because Mother felt
I wasn't old enough to use our
sewing machine properly.
