West Jefferson Village council
is still not decided on whether or
not they have parking violation
problem or traffic problem, but
they are taking action to correct
something by adopting new ordin-

A motion to adjourn interrupted
a discussion of the merits of two
ordinances now in the process of
being passed. One designates sever
al streets as one way traffic only,
and the other designates parking
on one side of several streets.
Councilman Ben Edwards point
ed out that traffic in the resident
ial areas of the village is not so
heavy as to constitute a danger.
He emphasized that the problem of
congestion was one of properly en-
forcing the present village regula-
ton pertaining to parking. He said
with the proper use of the police
powers, illegal parking could be
stopped, thereby preventing con-
gestion, and also eliminating the
need for the one-way traffic ordin-
ances as well as new parking reg

driven by Thomas Evans, also of
billiards, without injury or serious
damage. The report indicated that
another vehicle crossed into the
path of the Evans car, making it
necessary for him to stop immedi-
ately. The Adams car could not
stop in time to avoid striking the
first vehicle. No charges were filed
against either of the drivers. The
wreck occurred on Route 90 near
West Jefferson.
In the second accident, on Route
So south, late Saturday afternoon
a car driven by j. w. Armstrong
went out of control, left the road
and struck a fence and a utility
pole. Armstrong was treated here
for injuries before being transfer
red to Mt Carmel Hospital. Nc
charges were made as a result oi
the accident.

Ste er To Steak
Demonstrations

Approximately forty Madison
County men and women attended
the meat demonstration, steer to
Steak" held by the Agriculture
Beef Committee and Home Dem
onstration Council. Robert Haven
er, Extension Meats Specialist gave
the demonstration in which a side
of steer was cut. Havener explain
ed to the group why the consumer
must pay $119 a pound from a
twenty-four cent per pound steer.
In explaining this point Havener
showed how much of the steer was
waste and of little value to the
packer buying the steer. Also, a
vast amount in the more undesir-
able cuts must be sold at a price
which makes very little profit for
the packer.
Other interesting points brought
out in the demonstration were how
to identify good cuts of meat and
how to cut down on costs by con-
Stunning the less tender cuts. Beef
should always have a bright red
color explained Mr.. Havener. Cuts
which are highly marbled with fat
are very likely to have come from
the best grades of cattle. This fat
gives the beef a very desirable
flavor, but most consumers prefer
not having so much fat Less fat
on the cut of beef means more eat
able portions, as well as lower
cost per pound.
Shirley Lynn Nall, Home Eco
nomics Agent, assisted Havener in
the nutrition story of beef, fooc
which is very high in protein. Mrs
Nall also explained the dry meth
DDS used for the less tender cuts
