Avoid Accidents
During Holidays
A home accident can dampen
Christmas spirit quickly. The
death toll in home accident rates
second only to highway deaths
and usually goes up during the
holiday seasun.
For holiday safety, Joy Arring-
ton, Extension home management
specialist at Texas A&M Univer-
sity, suggests using a sturdy
ladder for placing decorations. A
small ladder may be your wisest
investment for the holiday.
Use only those decorations with
lead - free paint. Decorations
should be flame-proof. Many
ornaments, especially imported
types, have no safety regulations
covering them, she adds.
Safe toys are decorated with
ncntoxic paint and sturdy with
no sharp edges. Beware of toys
with plastic keys and other
small items which might tempt
a youngster’s mouth.
A Texas child died this month
when a plastic toy piece lodged
in his throat.
Although angel hair will not
burn it will cause tiny cuts and
should be kept away from child-
ren. Miss Arrington warns.
Home accidents account for
two-thirds of all accidental deaths
among children and for about
half those of people 65 years ot
age or more. Falls make up half
of the home accidents-and burns
and fires cause many others.
Many fires occur during the
Christmas season and the major
cause is the tree.
Be cautious with Christmas
trees, keeping thenS away from
heat sources such as fireplaces ,
television sets and heating units.
Use a fire screen to contain fly-
ing sparks, advises Miss Arring-
ton.
' To prevent drying, keep the
tree in water. Dry needles and
branches ignite easily. When the

ASC News
Farmers will benefit from a
new reporting service which has
been inaugurated by ASCS says
H. Neal Penix, Chairman of the
Wood ASC CouHty Cdituiiltlet*.
A report of payments made to
each farmer under ACP, cottun,
feed grain, and other direct pay-
ment programs during 1967 will
be mailed to the farmer during
the latter part of January. This,
report is expected to be helpful
in preparing individual income
tax returns. The same informa-
tion muwt atso he furnished ht
the Internal Revenue Service in
accordance with a requirement
of law.
Nationwide, it is estimated that
over three million farmers will
receive this report, Penix said
This information is being gath-
ered from county^ offices and
summarised by computers loca-
ted at New Orleans and Kansas
City.
The reports are being printed
by the computers and mailed di-
rect to farmers. A job of this
size could not be completed with-
out an automated system, added
the Chairman.
Since this is the first year for
a service of this magnitude, he
added, tljere are bound to be a
few problems. He suggested that
I farmers carefully read the ex-
planation on the report and check
the accuracy nt the total reported
by comparing it with farm re-
, cords.
If an error is discovered, the
. nearest ASCS county office
should be contacted to have the
mistake corrected. County office.,
have been instructed to give
farmers ,what assistance they
need regardless of the location
, of the farm.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward E Mel-
vin have announced the engage-
ment and approaching marriage
ot their daughter, Cheryl Louise,
to William Michael Tucker, son
of- Mr; and Mrs. W. H. Tucker
of Lake Holbrook.
The couple will exchange vows
on December 29th in the home
of the bride's parents, 115 Tur-
man Street.
The bride-elect, a 1966 gradu-
ate of Mineola High School, has
attended East Texas State tfnl-
versity. She is employed with
Southwest States General Tele-
phone Co. in Gladewater. -
Her fiance, a graduate of Alba-
Golden High School, received his
Bachelor of Science degree from
East Texas State University last
January, and taught school in
? I Pittsburg during the 1967 spring
semester.
