Here's a checklist of driving do's and don'ts for harrassedand harried mothers who have to make so many extra "last minute" . shopping trips during the holidays. Remember, while such devices as nylon safety belts, dashboards cushioned with urethane foam, and laminated §afety glass windows j minimize injuries when accidents occur, they do not prevent col- • ijisions from taking place. It is also important to keep windshieldwipers in good operating condition at all times, and glass areas clean of snow, sleet, and dirt Observe these 14 rules prepared by the National Safety Council, and your SQ* will put you at the head of the class: 1.

Illinois. under the act of May 8. 1879 TWO FIRES Firemen were called to Edgebrook subdivision about 1 o'clock- Monday afternoon to extinguish a grass fire. On Friday night they were summoned to a home in Lakemoor when a stove became overheated. No damage was reported in either case. I Egg producers are in a more | favorable situation than they have I been .for some time. Prices of henfruit were 5 to 10 cents a (Jozen higher this fall than they were last fall. Feed costs were a little lower. Esjr pricos dipped sharply during late November 'and early December. But since a similar de? cline had occurred a year before, prices are still well above 1956 Vvels. There was also a similar decline two years ago. ' The higher egg prices this fall were caused by a moderate decline in supply. Ee? productions was estimated-to bp about 5 percent losls than in the fall of 1956. The USDA forecasts that egg production in 1958 wil^be 2 percent below T957. The decrease will be. greater during the first half of the year and less or none at all in the last half. The egg-feed price ratio was 13.6 in November compared'with only 10.5 a year before. (This figure is the number of pounds of feed that is equal in value to a dozen eggs.) This five-year 1951-55 November average eggfeed ratio was 12.4. The favorable egg prices, if maintained, will bring about a -substantial increase in the number of chickens raised for laying flock replacements!. This need not necessarily lead to disaster, since some increase in number of chickens raised wilj be needed to replace the large number of hens being carried over for the second yesr. J The number oi" hens and pullets on farms is also about 5 percent less than it was a year ago. Rate of lay usually increases a little each year, but this' increase may be checked this year because of the large proportion of hens carried over in laying flocks. There are some reports of consumer resistance to higher prices for eggs this year. If sales decline and stocks pile up, prices will be further reduced. It may be, however, that the reductions so far will provide sufficient sales to hold prices near recent levels for several, weeks. Broilers. Through the first quarter of 1958, market supplies of broilers will continue to be 5 to 10 percent larger than a year ago. This expectation is based on number of chicks placed and, eggs set dining recent weoks. The need to sell larger supplies than last year will tend to hold Pri££&--near_4he low levels of the year before., Turkey#. Large supplies dominate the market. Five dollars spent for a turkey buys a lot of fine food. " A record of nearly 81 million turkeys' was produced in 1957. Production might be somewhat lower in 1958. The number x>f breeders tested early was less than last year. A survey of farmers' intentions to keep breeders j pointed to reductions in numbers i of heavy whites and Beltsville types. L.
