Such an arrangement may be
well and good, but a fellow can

1t up very nicely yesterday with
the observation that football

TKO Over Don Grant
D No As.oeia,.d Prs.

byfhs Assoeioied Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 18-Floyd
Patterson. 2o-year-old former
Golden Gloves champion. is
ready to mingle with the heavy
weights after stopping his second
opponent within 10 days.
The Brooklyn Negro's latest
was an easy TKO over Don
Grant Of Los Angeles In 1:13 Of
the fifth round last night at
Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway
Arena. He stopped Willie Troy
In five rounds at Madison Square
Garden January Z.
I'm going to try to match him

"Ill consider Layne or any
match that win enable Floyd to
gain further experience" said
Gus D'Amato, his manager.
However, he turned down pro-
posed February IL match with
Harold johnson at the Garden
earlier In the day.
Patterson thinks he'll be q
fuIi-fiedged heavyweight within
a year. He said he weighed
174A In the prefight physical,
five days before he fought Troy.
He scaled 1863 for Grant and
probably would do IT'S for Layne,
who weighed 207M December IL
when he battled 10 rounds to a
draw with Heinz Neuhaus at
Dortmund. Germany.
AS Patterson whipped Jimmy
Slade, the No. 7 heavyweight.
November 8, he seems ready to
venture among the heavier
fighters. D'Amato is grooming
the boy for the heavyweight
title. In another year or two,
figuring. he has plenty Of time
because Patterson wasn't 20 un-
til January 4.
This was to have been Pat
terson's first 10-round match.
AS 1t turned out he did 60 a total
Of 10 rounds In 10 days because
both Troy and Grant were fifth

Currently, the most sensitive security area
among the lower-priced cars is that relating
to horsepower. The rivalry is particularly
hot between Ford and Chevrolet. Each is
trying to protect its HIP secret, but as inform
ants keep cracking the secrets. the engineers
of the respective companies keep squeezing
few more HIPS into their engines = by
changing spark characteristics. gas intake,

Frost And The
Freezer Need
To Be Separated

Frost and freezing sound like
they naturally go together, but
frost and your freezer should be
separated occasionally. says Nita
Orr, State College extension Spe-
cialiSt in frozen foods.
It's good management to de-
frost your home freezer periodical
ly - when the frost is about half
an inch thick. When the frost is
thicker than this, it WaStefully re-
duces the food storage space and
makes the freezer inconvenient to
use.
U. S. Department of Agriculture
freezer authorities suggest tn a t
your freezer may be froSting up
too rapidly because you open the
freezer more often than necessary
and leave it open longer than ne
cessary, because all foods put into
the freezer are not packaged prop
erly so that moisture valuable for
food quality escapes, or because
the gasket on your door does not
make a good seal. If excessive frost
accumulates around the opening,
it's a warning sign. Install a new
gasket if that is necessary after
the lid has been adjusted.
You can remove frost by scrap
ing, but about once a year. dis
connect the freezer remove frost
and wash the box with soda water.
Scrope frost from the freezer only
according to manufacturers in
structions. The inside finish is not
the same on all boxes and sharp
edged scraper should not be used
on some of them.
Of course, It's best to defrost the
freezer when it's nearly empty,
however it may be easier said than
done. Wrap the frozen food IN
newspaper ard put it in the cold
est place available. Two people who
work we'll together can get the JOB
done faster than one.

50 Was Safest
Driving Walking
Year Since 1850

RALEIGH - Last year was the
safest for driving and walking in
North Carolina since 1850 the
Motor Vehicles Department an
nounced today.
For the first time in three
years road fatalities in the Tar
Heel State fell under the 1000
mark. Although official summar-
les of traffic accidents. deaths
and injuries in 1854 are still in
making. the tentative year end
total of only 984 fatalities was
encouraging to department safe
ty authorities.
Delayed reports will push the
fatality toll up somewhat, but
James E. Civils, the departments
chief statistician. was confident
that final records would be clos
ed on fewer than 1000 deaths.
In 1851 traffic accidents took
l.071 lives, in 1852, Ills and in
1858, lib. Injuries over the
same span averaged $4,000 a
year.
In addition to the declining
death toll Civils said the state in
1854 had the lowest ratio of
fatalities per one hundred mil
lion miles Of vehicular travel ever
recorded.
Through October of 1854 traf-
fic accidents in North Carolina
resulted in &c deaths per one
hundred million vehicular miles.
A close estimate for the entire
year would put the figure some
where near 10 Civils said. The ma
tional rate is somewhere around
the same figure he added.
This is particularly sigpifi-
cant" he said, lin the face of
increased motor vehicle regiStra-
ton Q,400,O00) and a tremend-
GUS amount of travel Q5 billion
miles," He attributed the decline
to a consolidation of effort" on
the part of the State Highway
Patrol and local professional safe
ty workers throughout the state.
In the rural areas he cited a
l6 percent reduction in fatalities
which demonstrates, he said,
evidence that local traffic safe
ty workers, civic clubs, education
al and service organizations are
doing an outstanding job in CO.
operation with the State High
way Patrol to cut down accidents
in the rural sections of the state"
In all there were 44,500 traf-
fic mishapS reported to the statis-
teal section last year.
