DON'T BE CORN PICKER
INJURY STATISTIC

Don't be one. of the casualties
listed when the count of corn
picker injuries is made this year.
George Vapaa, county agricul-
tural agent, made that statement
this week as he listed several
rules for safe corn picking.
He also pointed out that safe
picker operation and proper ad-
justment will lead to a more pro-
fitable harvest job.
Smyrna times., 1957-10-10

Rules for safe picking the
agent emphasized were:
1. Always stop the picker to
clean swapping and husking roll
ers or to make adjustments.
2. Give new operators proper
training for safe picker, tractor
and elevator operation.
3 Stop and rest a few minutes
during mid-morning and mid-af-
ternoon, times to be particularly
alert and cautious.
A. Be sure to keep all safety
shields in place.
5. Wear close-fitting clothing.
6. Never attempt to clean out
the picker when parts are NOV
ing.
Z. Use extra caution when work.
ing late at noon or at dusk.
8 Carry a fire extinguisher on
the tractor.
Proper operation and picker ad-
justment will bring a better har-
vest through clean husking, a
minimum amount of corn left in
the field, plus a minimum use of
time and least expense, Hr. Va
paa explained.
Before you start picking, he
suggested;
1. Checking the picker for worn
and broken parts, loose bolts, and
chain and belt tension adjust
ments. And be sure to check slip
clutches to determine if they are
working right. Make all necessary
repairs before picking begins.
2. Lubricating the machine ac-
cording to instructions.
8. Replacing all safety shields
after a lube or repair job.

Arlington Realty
Climbs Il Pei.

The total assessed value of
real estate in Arlington County
was set at $296,613,120 in a
final report today by the county
ReaSsessment Board.
The net increase over the
total assessed value in force in
1856 was set at just over IL per
cent by ReasSessment Board
Chairman j. Maynard Magruder
Mr.. Magruder said the added
values, based on tax rates in
effect in 1856, would produce
an additional Sl,349, 900 in reve-
nue. for Arlington.
In a preliminary report a
month ago. Mr.. Magruder said
the total assessed value would
be about $500 million. He said
the slightly lower figure resulted
from reviews of original assess
ments because of conferences
with property owners and drop
ping of some land from the tax
rolls.
Weeks Assessment Affirmed
Commenting on the case of
Mrs William Weeks, a 69-year-
old widow and owner of a 15-acre
wooded tract near Walkers
Chapel. MIR. Magruder said the
ReaSSessment Board affirmed its
original action setting the as
sesSed value of the land at $685.
260. Last year the assessed value
was $3.50.
Mrs. Weeks complained that
the nearly 400 per cent increase
would force her to sell the prop
erty since her only income is re-
tirement pay totaling $2.100 a
year. The tax under the new
assessment would be about 81 400
a year. she said.
Mr.. Magruder said the Reas-
sessment Board asked three inde-
pendent appraisers to report to
the board.
THE average valuation placed
on the property by these ap-
praisers is in excess of the figure
used by the board" he said.
Board Follows Law
"The board is entirely SYM
pathetic to the many persons
living on retirement and fixed
incomes" Mr.. Magruder added.
However, it should be clearly
understood that the Board of
ReasSessments has no control
over the amount Of tax levied
against any property"

The study of children suspected
of plea at Children's Hospital is
carried out by a team of re-
searchers who not only investi-
gate the child. but also the
Ichild's parents and background
A number of factors were re-
vealed in the histories of the
families of these children, in
lcluding: Fifteen cases of separa-
tion from the mother, father or
both; seven cases where the
mother worked out of the home
and seven cases of plea which
began at the birth of another
child.
"All of these represent the loss
of a loved person on whom the
child depends, the loss being
either by physical absence of the
persons being less available"

Earlier today the pediatricians
were told of new antibiotic that
may be the answer to an infec-

follows rheumatic fever and is
almost always fatal.
The antibiotic, Ristocetin, was
used with outstanding success

Earlier Theories Upset
The study, which will continue
under a grant from the National
Institute of Mental Health, is
discrediting to earlier theories
that plea may be due to nutri-
tional deficiencies and to mental
deficiencies.
Plea is the persistent eating OF
non-edible substances. Most chill
dren go through a phase of this,
but If it continues, 1t Is fraught
with dangers.
The present study grew out OF
concern over the large number
of lead poisoning being brought
into Children's Hospital. The re-
isearchers found that many cases
of accidental poisoning are the
result of plea. often not realized
by parents.
A child. they feel, may be en-
titled to one accidental poison
ing. but If there is another one
lit isn't really accidental, but
often the result of an obsession
and bizarre appetite, for certain
substances.
Actually. it seems that plea is
"a symptom of emotional dis
turbance in children except in a
few cases where severe organic
brain damage precedes the plea. y
1t is IAN intent on the part OF
the child to comfort himself with
a distorted form of instinctual
satisfaction when the motherine
lperson is unavailable to him
either physically or psychologi-
ally"
The investigators noted that
both the addiction in children
Known as plea and the addiction
IN adults seem to stem from the
same basic causes in childhood
continuing immaturity.
Tension Relief
1t noted however that the Sec
ondary physiological craving and
withdrawal symptoms, apart
from the addiction to drugs, is
not found in plea.

eign substance is taken away
