READING THE CLASSIFIED ADS IS A MONEY- SAVING HABIT MORE PEOPLE ARE DISCOVERING EVERY DAY. JOIN THEM NOW! In Case Of Accident Save The Evidence What do you do if an injury happens to you or to a member of your family while using a manufactured product which might have been defective? The first thing to do, of course, is to rush the injured party to the hospital or call a doctor and render any emergency first aid that may be required. That much is obvious. What is not so obvious, points out the Illinois State Bar Association, is the importance of preserving the product itself and any evidence that a defect in it may have been the cause of or contributed to the accident. It may be difficult to think of gathering "legal evidence" during the trauma and emotional upheaval of an ac­ cident, but it is important that this be done as soon as possible and certainly before such evidence is lost or discarded. The ISBA cites the case of a man who was injured when a tire of his car apparently blew out, causing the car to over­ turn. Later, he read a report which claimed the manufac­ turer of that particular tire had changed production methods in order to achieve a "softer ride" and thereafter its tires had failed by the thousands. The man sued the manufacturer alleging his injury was due to a defective tire. In the meantime, however, the car -- including the tires - had been junked and demolished. He lost his case for lack of evidence. It is, of course, important to see a lawyer as soon after the accident as possible. One of his first steps will be to account for and preserve evidence con­ cerning the accident and if this has already been done, so much the better. It is, of course, important to see a lawyer as soon after the accident as possible One of his first steps will be to account for and preserve evidence con­ cerning the accident and if this has already been done, so much the better. Another reason for consulting a lawyer is to get his expert judgment as to the liability of the product's manufacturer and the rights of the accident victim. Unfortunately, some victims take it upon themselves to decide whether they "have a case" against a manufacturer - - and often make the wrong decision. From a legal standpoint, the question of product liability is a highly tecnnical one involving fine points of the law and their interpretation by the courts. Even on the lawyers part, it calls for highly specialized knowledge and skill. 'In recent years, product liability cases have increased significantly. For one thing, people are more aware of their rights as consumers and of the responsibilities^ manufac­ turers. For another! legislation and court deo^ons have tended to hold manufacturers "strictly liable" for defects or for failure to warn product users of dangers of any im­ proper use that could reasonably be foreseen. A case in point involved an Illinois farmer who was injured when a chip from a hammer's metal head flew into his face. The farmer was pounding metal parts while connecting a plow to a tractor and the manufacturer contended this was a misuse of the product - a carpenter's hammer designed for woodwork. It pointed out that during eleven months' use on the farm the hammer head also had become "case har­ dened" and likely to chip in such misuse. The farmer said he was only doing what other farmers did, using similar hammers without mishap. He won his damage suit. In this case, the ISBA said, the manufacturer knew that its product, while perfect and unlikely to chip when new, would become defective and that chipping might be reasonably expected as a result of a use that could be an­ ticipated. FROM THE FARM | The recent USD A report on hogs and pigs provided in­ formation of concern to almost everyone - pork producers, corn growers, and consumers, says L.H. Sim'erl, Extension economist. Agricultural Marketing. Figures in the report give port producers reasons to expect better prices. Corn growers can expect their largest market to shrink to the smallest volume in many years. And consumers will find pork prices inching up toward those for beef. Here are the basic facts as found and reported by the USDA Statistical Reporting Service: 1. The number of market hogs and pigs on farms Dec. 1 was estimated at 47,646,000, down 9 percent from a year ago;; 2. Farmers reported intentions to farrow 5,385,000 sows during the six months December through next May, 15 percent fewer than a year ago. The number of hogs weighing over 180 pounds was listed at 7,462,000, down 7 percent from a year earlier. Those weighing 120 to 180 pounds were estimated at 9,764,000, down 5 percent. Hogs 60 to 120 pounds numbered 12,603,000, off 9 percent. And pigs under 60 pounds, 17,818, 000, were down 12 percent. Prospective Supplies: These estimates suggest that hog slaughter during the first quarter of 1975 will be 5 to 9 percent less than last year, and that slaughter during the April- June quarter will be down 10 to 14 percent. Looking at the figures on farrowing intentions, hog slaughter during the last half of the year is expected to fall 12 to 18 percent below the 1974 level. oForefcasts of slaughter must be shown in ranges to allow for some natural variation in estimates of numbers of hogs on hand, changes in farrowing plans, and differences in the number of pigs saved per litter. It is widely assumed that farmers will sell their hogs at lighter weights than usual because of the high cost of feed. However, that may not happen, since hog prices may also be relatively high. Hence, pork production per hog may be about the same as usual. It now appears that pork supplies during 1975 will be sufficient to provide 56 to 58 pounds per person, compared with the 66 to 67 pounds con­ sumed this past year. The prospective per capita supply is slightly smaller than the shortest supplies in recent years: 58.7 pounds in 1965, and 58.1 pounds in 1966, Prices Moving Up: Prices for hogs will depend on how much consumers are willing to pay for pork, and on the marketing margins. Retail prices for pork rose from about 95 cents a pound last spring to $1.12 a pound in recent weeks. Con­ sumers may be willing to pay $1.20 by next summer. Each 10 cents more for pork should add about $4 to the value of live hogs. The marketing margin -- from farm loading chute to retail checkout counter- probably will shrink,--as packers and retailers compete for the short supply. If so, it will add to the prices received by farmers for hogs. ^ All things considered, the range of hog prices in 1975 seems likely to be from around $40 to over $50. Hog prices may sag a bit in 1976, but that is expected to be more than offset by lower costs of feed. Instant Break f If your instant coffee cakes in •the jar, add hot water and refrig­ erate.

I REMEMBER^ THE 600D OLD DWS From Wilfred Beaver, Sparta, Wisconsin: Do you remember when the gramaphone and victrola helped idle the time away with songs of the past? These were both hand made machines built with skill and durability. Many are still in operation around the world and remain valued for their clarity and sound. They were de­ veloped before radio entered our lives and shared our youth with a joy we now have viewing televi­ sion. I would prefer a return to the past when we could wind up a machine, place a 78 rpm phono­ graph on the revolving turntable and set the needle arm in place at the beginning of the record. The first records played by our grandparents were cylindrical, with the grooves scratched into a hard wax coaling over a plaster core. I can still see that large trumpet horn mounted on top of the "talking machine." We would all gather around the machine after a huge dinner. We would listen to 80 rpm Edison Diamond Disc Recordings • ^ I-1J GIVE AWAY Grey and white long haired female, and bleak and white short haired male kittens. 385-8471 after 6:00 P.M. 1-22 t Free to good home, 1 male, V2 shepherd,% lab dog, i housebroken. 653-5886 \i.
