A . a i t a m o n g t h e grownups and professionals showing livestock and crops the 1952 International L Stock Exposition and horse show. Since boys and girls were first permitted to show in tne open or adult classes of the show, they have proved that youngsters don't have to take a back seat to anybody In all, since youngsters have shown the grand champion steer at the International ten times, takiltg their places ahead of people who make their living in feeding cattle and the animal husbandry departments of the agricultural colleges. They have also had grand champions barrows and wether lambs. Highest price ever paid for a grand champion steer .went to the last youngster- who showed his calf to top honors--Lloyd Robinson, Big Spring, Texa?, who in 1950 took $12 per pound for a tot^l of $12:300 with his finished Hereford "block of beef".

Early in November the members all devoted their efforts toward persuading their friends and acquaintances that they should vote. Whether or not your candidate succeeded is important, of course, but exercising your privilege of voting is even hiore important. Toward the middle of November, the American Legion Auxiliary and their post solemnized the Armistice Day services. In the evening the Legion and Auxiliary joined forces in a celebration. The ladies brought a potluck supper and the men furnished the entertainment. Plans are being made to make the "Gifts to Yanks who Gave" program better than ever. At ttie last meeting we collected many packages of cigarettes for the vets. LaVerne Saynor, as rehabilitation chairman, works diligently toward making the rehabilitation program of our Auxiliary a fine undertaking. Once a month a group of Auxiliary ladies and seme of the Legion men make a pilgrimmage to Downey hospital. There they furnish entertainment for our disabled veterans. They never fail to carry along candy, cigarettes, ice cream, cookies and other refreshments for the boys. They dance with them and play cards too. The boys look forward to these evenings with great anticipation and enjoy every minute of the evening. LaVerne would like more of the members to join the group. The group meets at the Legion home at 6:15 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month. There are usually enougih cars to take care of anyone who would like to go but has no means of transportation.

DECEMBER MOST DANGEROUS FOR ^ i MALE PEDESTRIANS This time of year is extremely dangerous for adult male pedestrians, according to a, bulletin issued by the Chicago Motor club. Last year 37 per cent of the year's pedestrian fatalities occurred during the last three months of the year, the bulletin points out. December was ^he worst month, being responsible for 14 per cent of the year's total of fatalities. An analysis of pedestrian fatalities for 1951 shows that 75 per cent of the victims were male. Fifty-nine per cent of the male victims were over 45 years of age. As to the time, when pedestrian accidents are most likely to occur, 65 per cent of pedestrian deaths last year happened after dark. "One of the reasons' for more pedestrian deaths in the winter Is that there are more hours of darkness," Chas. M. Hayes, president of the club, said. ."Male pedestrians bundle up in darker heavier clothing. As a result they are harder to see and move more * slowly because,, of their heavy clothing. Also, storms and bad weather cause pedestrians to be less watchful for moving vehicles." , What steps should pedestriffhs take \o see that they don't wind up on\ a death toll? Hayes says: 1. Take your time. 2. Wear light colored clothing. 3. Be vigilant. Watch for oncoming cars. 4. Don't make abrupt movements. With slippery streets motorists can't stop as quickly as when the roads are dry. . A rabbit should not be lifted by its ears.

Twice Told Talcs The National Safety Council has announced a nationwide Christmis savings plan to stop accidents. "If every American will join this savings plan before the Christmas holidays, a real yuletide bonus--human life--will be paid." said Ned H. Dearborn, Council president. The campaign has been joined by more than 160 national organizations, and by city and state public officials and' civic leaders. They will unite in creating an awareness of the special holiday hazards, and will enlist voluntary cooperation from every American to hold accidents to a minimum this Christmas. The year-end holiday season is the most dangerous period of the y e a r , M r . D e a r b o r n s a i d , a n d accidents annually mar the celebration in thousands of homes. Traffic accident deaths on both Christmas eve and Christmas day are about twice as high as the annual daily average. fhis year, with the holiday consisting of four days for many persons, the toll could be even higher than the 351 traffic deaths reported during the fourday Christmas weekend last year, Mr. Dearborn warned. "Travel is especially heavy over long holidays, which encourage traditional family gettogethers even when the members mupt drive considerable distance," he said. "The festive spirit of the season, plus the normal winter hazards of bad weather, slippery roads and longer periods of darkness create added danger."
