Vindex Boy Ill,
Lonely in Hospital

Ten-year old James Kent, of Vim
dex, is ill, lonesome, and quite a
ways from home and home folks.
He lies on bed in Johns Hopkins
hospital, Baltimore, where he is
undergoing tests and treatment for
a lung condition.
His mother, Mrs. Christine Kent
is unable to stay with her son,
in Baltimore, but must remain at
home with her husband and four
other children.
Misfortune has stalked the Kent
family in recent months. The
father, a miner, underwent sur
gerry last winter for stomach ulcers
and returned to work, but ruptured
incisions made in the surgery.
Since then, the family has been
existing on welfare funds.
One of the children is a cerebral
palsy victim.
Jimmy fell victim to pneumonia
when he was eight months old.
The experience has hindered the
development of his lungs and he is
a victim of asthma.
A card sent to James Kent, 6601
N. Broadway, Baltimore 5, will help
lift the load of loneliness that bur-
denS him.

Second P1If Squirt By Peters
bury Vikings Brings
Four Touchdowns
GAME STATISTICS

A strong second half offensive
splurge for Petersburg High
school last Friday afternoon gave
the Vikings a rs to victory over
the Southern Highlanders in a
Potomac Valley conference con-
test played at Petersburg.
The Vikings had lost its first
game of the season last week at
the hands of Keyser C19-0 and for
awhile it appeared as if the Vik-
ings were in for rough time of
it again.
Neither team was able to score
in the first half, but it was the
Highlanders who staged the big
gest threat in the first two peri
DDS, driving to the Petersburg IL
yard line before losing the ball
on downs.
Viking quarterback Jack Boor
cranked up his passing arm in the
second half and connected twice
with Ernie Nelson in the end zone,
and halfback Steve Bruce also got
a pair of touchdoWns. Three OF
the four Petersburg scores came
in the final period.
Bruce went over from II yards
out in the third quarter for the
Viking TC. Then early in the
fourth stanza Boor hit Nelson on
a 16-yard toss good for touch
down number two.
A Southern tumble at the Peters
burg 45 was grabbed by Bruce
who picked up good blocking and
went all the way. The 25-yard
BOOr to Nelson passes on the final
scoring drive moved the Vikings
down to the Southern five. Louie
Alt gained two yards to the three
then Boor on a qulckle pass, found
Nelson in the end zone.
Credited with the key defensive
play for Petersburg was Jim Junk
ms who crashed through to dump
Jim Craig on tWo-yard loss
when Southern had the ball on q
fourth and one situation at the
Viking II.
The loss gave Southern a "A
record for the season with 2;

Kits For the Back Tag
Screen Testing Program

- ~
Screen Testing Program
Each cattle owner in Richland
County will soon be receiving a
back tag kit from the USDA
Animal Disease Eradication Di-
vision.
Many of you are probably ac-
uuainted with the "Back Tag
Screen Testing Program" as it
has been in operation at the 10
cal sales yard for some time. This
method of checking on brucellosis
infection has been advanced and
advocated by many leading ranch
ers' and cattlemen's organizations
for some time. 1t was first used
in Montana and now has been
nationally adopted for use in range
and semi-range areas as a means
of maintaining county certiflca-
ton.
What is hoped for by federal
and state animal disease control
and eradication agencies is that
ranchers will mark mature cows,
both dry and Gull, with the Off
cial tags from the kit before go
ing to market. Blood is drawn
from these identified cows at the
Slaughtering plant and tested Tor
brucellosis by the USDA. If the
animal reacts to the test, they can
trace the animal back to the own
err and thus take car of the in
fected herd.
State and federal veterinary Of
ficials tell us that the back tag
screen testing program can be a
great aid in identification OF
modified certified brucellosis-free
counties. If so of the county's
COW population is screen tested
each year, or a total of 15% in
three years, it will do away with
lining UP and retesting 200 OF
the negative herds in a county
every three years.
This should no doubt make
lot of cattle owners happy.
In order for the back tag screen
testing program to be successful
YOU can see that ranchers mus
participate to the fullest. This l:
the program asked for by ranch
ers, so to make it work, the kit
must be used and Instructions fol
lowed as outlined on the kits. Ger
tainly most of us would like u

ceIlosis-free status in RichlanC

For those company meals, plan
ned or unexpected, and to have
on hand for extra busy days the
year round, now is the time to
freeze some chickens. Chickens for
the freezer must be carefully Sc
lected and prepared as you would
for the table. Chill them prompt
ly and thoroughly, package in
molSture-vapor = resistant wrap
ping material, seal and freeze as
soon as possible. If you take
packaged food to a locker, wrap
in newspaper or use an insula-
ted box to help keep it cold on
the way.
If you have a home freezer, be
sure the temperature in the freez-
ing compartment is zero degrees
F. or lower. Place packages against
freezing plates or coils, spacing
them SO air can move between
them.
Remember that large or heavily
wrapped packages take longer to
freeze than those of medium size
with only enough wrapping to
protect the food.
After freezing, store chicken al
zero degrees F. Or lower. For de-
tailed instructions on preparing
chickens for the freezer, ask fol-

Oftentlmes, steel wool soap pads
get rusty after one using, and
it's necessary to throw them
away. To avoid this waste, fill
a small jar half-full with granu-
lated soap and keep the pads in
it. Be sure to shake as much wat
er as possible from the soap pads
before putting them in the jar.
Keep the jar tightly covered and
you can use the pads over and
over again.
Avoid the struggle to clean the
telephone number plate. Use a
cotton-tipped swab stick. It'll save
wear and tear on your fingers and
your nerves.

Seed Treating

Losses caused by cerial smuts
and other ~seed-borne diseases can
be greatly reduced by seed treat
ment.
The treating of your seed wheat
with recommended fungicides will
prevent most of the common seed
borne diseases. They will not,
however, control loose smut. The
mot-water treatment is the best
method for the control Of loose
smut.
One fungicide is not defective
against all diseases, but may be
designed for one special one. Also
remember when purchasing a
fungicide, there are several avail
able combined with an insecti-
eide. This is an effective method
of protecting seeds from insect
damage after planting.
You can get a list of various
dust and liquid treatments at the
County Extension Service Office.

The Social Security Act
A farmer who pays cash wages
of $3.50 during the year to any
farm worker, or pays cash wages
to a farm worker for 20 or more
days of work during the year,
must report the employees cash
wages for social security and pay
the employers tax.
Because of this, farmers should
urge employees to get a social
security account number with his
permanent record of wages paid
to the employee. To get an &C
count number, the worker should
go to the nearest Social Securi-
ty office. If this is not convenient,
he may get an application blank,

it to the Social Security Office

Helpful Hints

An easy way to remove yellow
d~iscoloration from your kitchen
sink or lavatory is to line the
sink basin with paper toweling;
then put chlorine bleach on the
towels until they are thoroughly
wet. After half an hour, remove
the towels and rinse basin with
hot water. Your sink will be
sparkling again.

Fall Weed Control
Remember that prevention is
the cheapest and most effective
method of weed control. If you
are now among those planting a
crop this fall, be sure the seed
you plant is clean and free from
weed seed. The purpose of a
clean weed-free summer fallow-
ed field is defeated if you plant
grains containing weed seed.
One method of conserving mois-
ture and also controlling annual
and perennial broadleaf weeds is
spraying with 2,4-D in place of
the last cultivation in the fall.
If perennial broadleaf weeds are
present in summer fallow, spray
with one to two pounds TO 2,4-D
per acre. Usually it is never nee
eSSary to spray solid, but a pro-
gram VI SPOI 1CdJ1lACI1I OQS
out the field. Many perennial
weeds are still growing actively
in fields after the grain has been
harvested in the fall. These per-
ennial weeds should be treated
with two pounds of 2,4-D per acre
applied as spot treatments. By fol-
lowing this type of program and
spraying the crop each year, eli
mination of perennial broadlea1
weeds can gradually be accomp-
liShed.
Controlling perennial weeds is
a slow and often discouraging
program, but control a be OBJ
tanned by continued weed contro.
practices each year.

For those ugly stains on pots
and pans, try baking soda. Sprin-
kle a damp cloth with baking
soda and quickly wipe away
those brown stains. Then too, you
can use baking soda on baking
dishes, c~asseroles, coffee and tea
pots. Fill them with a solution of
about three tablespoons Of baking
soda to a quart of water and LET
them soak a few minutes.
