Tell Santa
Toy Dangers
Make sure the Santa in
your family realizes the dan-
gers that some toys can repre-
sent for very young children,
the Texas Safety Association
advises.
Many toys which are safe
for older children can be
dangerous in the hands of in-
& fants and toddlers. They sim-
ply do not realize that sharp
points and edges are hazard-
ous and that small pieces are
not meant to be put into the
mouth. When choosing a toy
for an infant or small child,
select one that:
—is too large to be swal-
lowed;
—does not have detachable
y small parts that can lodge in
> the windpipe, ears or nos-
trils ;
—is not apt to break easily
into small pieces or leave
jagged edges;
—does not have sharp
edges or points;
—has not been put to-
gether with straight pins,
sharp wires, nails or similar
hazardous materials which
might be easily exposed;
—is not made of glass or
brittle plastic;
—is labeled “non-toxic.”
Avoid painted toys for in-
fants who put playthings in
the mouth;
—does not have parts that
can pinch fingers or toes or
catch hair;
—does not have cords or
strings over 12 inches in
length.

Sixth Grade Class Has Lizard
Called Fred, For Class Pet
By Dianna Freeman
Mrs. Garcia, teacher of the
sixth grade class of White Deer
Jr. High has purchased an ig-
uana for the class to care for.
The iguana is a lizard. He
is a large green lizard that is
found in the forest trees of
tropical America. He may
reach 5 feet in length, in-
cluding his long, black-banded
tail. He has a crest of scales
down the middle of his back
and a large flap of skin which
hangs from his neck.
The iguana is slow and timid.
He is easily caught by hunters.
We feed him fruit cocktail
once a day and have named
him Fred. We hope after we
have had him for a while he
will become a class pet.

Sugar Soars
As Demand
Strains Stock
AUSTIN--Short supplies
and strong demand have
strained existing world sugar
stocks, shattering
international prices and
raising a five-pound bag in
the United States from 80
cents last year to $2.50-$3.
According to Agriculture
Commissioner John C.
White, the huge jump in
price is based partially on a
slowdown in world
production in the face of
inconsistent earning records
and a faster growing demand
for other crops.
Attracted by high grain
prices, many sugar producers
have converted existing
acreage to other crops.
In the U. S., production is
expected to decline from
1973’s 5.9 million tons,
despite production increases
in some parts of the country.
White reported that an
anticipated 346,000 ton
increase in Texas’ sugar cane
crop will offset a 20,000 ton
decrease in the state’s
sugarbeet yield.
Nationally, sugar cane
production is projected at
25.3 million tons, a two
percent decrease from 1973.
Sugarbeet yields will decline
more than 2 million tons.
World production is
. estimated at 89.4 million
tons raw value, a record but
at least 2 million tons below
earlier predictions.
As urban populations and
incomes increase, sugar
consumption also increases.
World consumption is
expected to increase two per
cent to 81 million tons
during 1974-1975. However,
high prices are likely to cause
a slowdown in usage in
countries that rely heavily on
sugar imports. The USDA
reports that per capita
consumption has already
been reduced in the United
States, Japan and in some
Western European countries.
USDA experts predict
that growing supplies and
carry-in stocks could ease the
pressure on sugar prices by
mid-1975.

Save on your fuel costs
Because of the lower rolling resistance
of Michelin "X" radials over con-
ventional bias-ply tires, you might'
get as much as 10% savings over your
present gas consumption. This means
more miles per gallon of gas. It means
dollars saved. And it means that less
fuel has to come out of the economy
to keep your car on the road.
