Traffic Accidents
In Norway
Traffic accidents on the island
of Bjarkoey, Norway, rose sharp-
ly in 1961 to an unprecented rate
equal to 5,000 accidents per 10,-
000 registered vehicles.
The Arctic island has an area
of five square miles, a population
of 730, one road, one truck, and
one station wagon, the island's
only taxi. The truck and the taxi
collided at a bend in the road.
This is one of the tales in an
article "Freak Squeaks of 1961,"
the National Safety Council's an-
nual roundup of odd and unusual
accidents. It appeared in the Feb-
ruary issue of Traffic Safety maga-
zine, published by the Council.
dents of Collin County, according
to official government figures.
The report is made by the U.S.
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare in its latest annual
summary of vital statistitcs, cov-
ering all sections of the country.
Definite progress has been made
in some cases with the result that
complete or partial cures can now
be effected in cases that were
once considered hopeless.
Advances of this sort have been
noted in heart surgery, in the de-
velopment of new drugs to pre-
vent or dissolve blood clots, in
methods of limiting the damage
caused by strokes and in the treat-
ment of rheumatic heart cases.
The 55.1 per cent mortality a-
mong Collin County residents was
somewhat higher than the aver-
age in the rest of the United States,
54.9 per cent. It was also abovp
the West South Central States
average of 49.9 per cent.
Evidence of a striking relation-
ship between the amount of cho-
lesterol and other animal fats in
the blood stream and the incidence
of heart disease has been accu-
mulating in recent years.
The American Heart Association
has strongly urged that vegetable
oils be substituted in the diet for
animal fats as a precaution
against heart disease.

vides a means whereby allotments
can be diverted from farms
where the allotment is UNWANT-

Cotton farmers, by availing them-
selves of the privileges provided in
the regulations, can help maintain
their cotton allotments, can help
maintain the ccunty allotment, and
can contribute to a strong agricul-
tural Economy for the county. This
can be done by RELEASING to

this family of clovers a genera-

clover made its appearance. W. N.
Gibson of Melissa recalls using
this variety over thirty years ago.
He received good soil improving
benefits from it, although it lack-
ed quality when used for hay or
grazing.
Hubam clover came into wide
use in the Collin Soil Conserva-
tion District ten to fifteen years
go. This variety, a selection from
the old biennial white, matured in
about five months and has good
quality forage. Clarence Furr of

as a combination seed crop and

Views of Candidates Meeting Of Lions
In Next Week's Issue Thursday Evening
Next week The News will print
replies of city candidates to a
questionnaire concerning propos-
als for improvements in the city,
how the candidate would finance
those improvements, a list of or-

date belongs, and the present em-

All candidates who returned
their Questionnaire to The News,
or had their replies postmarked
not later than midnight Tuesday
of this week, will be included in

Fisher and J. W. Baxter, both
dairymen in the Bloomdale com-
munity, say that this clover makes
a very palatable high-protein feed.
In summarizing the soil improv-
ing benefits of sweet clover, num-
erous District cooperations say that
clover has been responsible for in-
creasing the yields of succeeding
crops by 30 per cent to 50 per
cent. They remark how the soil
takes in water much better and
plows easier after clover has loos-
ened and opened it. Among those

The FINAL DATE for RELEAS-
ING and REQUESTING ADDI-
TIONAL COTTON is March 2, 1962.
Forms for relasing and request-
ing additional cotton are available
at the County Office.
Cotton growers may arrange for
official measurement of their 1962
cotton acreage allotments prior to
planting time. To obtain the pre-
measurement service, which is be-
ing provided on a cost basis, a
cotton farmer must file a written
request with the County ASCS
Office, 210 Federal Building, Mc-
Kinney, Texas, prior to Mach 15,
1962.
The rate of charge for this serv-
ice is on an individual farm basis
and is based on the size of the
'allotment, distance of the farm
from the County Office, and the
number of plots of cotton. Pay-
ment based on this must be made
at the time of request. This serv-
ice is optional and is offered as a
service to growers who prefer an
official measurement to use as a
planting guide.
