Texas Liquor Control Board re-
ports that the increase of reports
on consumption of alcholic bever-
ages by minors is "startling."
In 1959, spokesman said, only
1,314 criminal cases were filed |
against boys and girls under age
21 for buying, consuming or pos-
sessing alcholic beverages in a
public place. In 1963, the TLCB
filed 4,848 such cases.
Liquor Administrator Coke Stev- 1
enson, Jr. said “We've been con-
cerned about the increase in juv-
enile drinking at public places,
such as beaches and dances, and
we are constantly reminding our
agents to be on the lookout for
such violations.”

Lee County .Agricultural Agent
TRACTORS CAN KILL
Tractors and other farm power
equipment can be dangerous in
the hands of inexperienced oper
ators, says Brown Spivey, Lee Co-
unty Agent. Each year many pa-
rt-time farm helpers are injured
because they were not given prop-
er instructions for operation of
farm equipment.
Every operator should be able
to recognize hazards and follow
the suggested safety procedures
for handling a farm tractor.
The tractor is designed for pow-
er, not speed. It does its job most
efficiently when operated slowly.
When going to and from a field,
go slowly. A hidden bump or dit-
ch, if struck at too high a speed,
can flip the machine over.
Keep the tractor out of traffic*
—it cannot keep up with high speed
cars and trucks.
Working the side of a slope re-
quires extra skill. Don’t try to
farm a slope that is too steep.
Climb a steep grade in reverse
to prevent any chance of a back-
ward upset. Don’t try to handle
a heavy load going down such a
hill.
Pull only from the drawbar.
When pulling a really heavy load,
add front-end weights to keep the
tractor balanced.
Tractors were made to work
for you, not against you; so make
sure your helpers, know how to use
them, suggests the agent.
AIR CLEANERS ON TRACTORS
KEY TO LONG ENGINE LIFE
A late model tractor can be ex-
pected to run 3,000 hours or more
under dusty conditions and under
full load if the air cleaner is clean
and kept in proper working or-
der.
County Agent Brown Spivey po-
ints out that the same tractor wi-
thout a proper air cleaner, or with
one operating improperly, could
be ruined in 15 hours of opera-
tion.
An air cleaner functioning prop-
erly, he says, is about 99 percent
efficient in removing the most
harmful, larger particles of dirt
and dust.
Cleaners should be properly and
frequently serviced, and owners
hate to be lined up with Castro,
Khrushchev, Gomulka, and all
such. Even the Communist news-
papers: Pravda in Russia and its
satellite in America “The Work-
er" are uneasy that the Republi-
can nominees will be elected in
the November 3rd election Talk
abbut “cutting off the water",
this election will help to cut off
some of theirs.
We should be careful how we
vote; ne never “had it so good”!
The national debt is at an all time
high, and going higher. AND, ac-
cording to the administration,
more people in this country are
hungry than ever before in our
history. It is high time to do
something abbut it. This did not
happen under the conservative,
manuals tell how to do this For
instance cleaners should be in-
spected daily, and proper weight
oil used, and kept at the correct
level. Change oil when dirt de-
posits in the cup builds in the
cleaner up to a quarter inch, and
keep fittings and hoses air-tight
and in good condition, advises the
County Agent. , Clean the cleaner
body carefully once a year.
If operating in a dusty area, the
air intake pipe location on the
tractor may need changing. It
should be 6 to 8 feet above the
ground or out of the dust cloud for
most efficient operation.
PRESSURIZED CANS
DANGEROUS:
Pressurized cans found around
most homes and in the farm shops
are potential bombs.
Severe injuries and even some
deaths have resulted from the ex-
plosion of pressurized cans. Heat
is the greatest danger involved.
Cans placed in an incinerator or
a trash fire, though completely
empty of the paint, hair spray, or
insecticides they once contained,
will explode with force and can
cause injury if a person should
be in range of the flying metal
The suggestions for safe handl-
ing of such containers are offer-
ed: Keep all pressurized contain-
ers away from sunlight or other
areas of high heat. Any heat above
100 degrees will create a definite
hazard. A safe way to dispose of
such cans would be to bury these
cans where possible.
TREES FOR WIND-
BREAKS AVAILABLE:
The Texas Forestry Service of-
fers trees at $1.50 per 100 to be
planted for windbreaks. Order
blanks are available at your co-
unty agent office.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS
ON ALL TRACTORS:
All tractors that are operated ,
on roads and highways should have .
rear view mirrors. Such mirrors
could save a severe and costly
wreck.

FREEDOM TO CHOOSE -
Key To Our Success
Too often lately I have heard people say that they
were not satisfied with either of the candidates so they
probably just wouldn’t vote for either. I can only hope
that these people will consider what they are saying—
that if a perfect man cannot be found to serve in public
office then it doesn’t matter who we have.
• Chances are very remote that the perfect man will
come along. If every young man or young woman wait-
ed for the perfect, mate there would soon be no marri-
ages. What makes these people think that it will be
easier to find the perfect politician?
All we can hope for is a man who comes as close as
possible to standing for those principles in which we be-
lieve and then to support him. If we fail in this our most
important duty then we sacrifice our freedom to choose.
The key to the success of this country’ is freedom—
freedom to choose an occupation, freedom to succeed or
fail, freedom to worship when and where we please,,,
freedom to say or write what we please, but the greatest
freedom, of all—the one that makes all the others pos-
sible—is the freedom to choose those who will govern us.
DON’T LOOSE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT FREE-
DOM-THE FREEDOM TO VOTE! Read, listen, think
about the various candidates and then choose the men
whom you feel will lead this country in the direction in
. which it should go. You may make a mistake, but if
you exercise your right to choose now you may be able
to correct, that mistake in the future. If you fail to vote
_- now you are surely guaranteeing that you will be closer
to the time when you no longer have the freedom of
choice!
