Is Spring Really Here? Spring officially arrived at 2:37 a.m. EST on Tuesday, March 21, but is it really here? We would say it is! All one needs to do is listen to the conversation of school children as they discuss how many more weeks in this school year—or study the calendar of a senior who is making plans for graduation, a summer job and then college. Or. step outside around noon and you can smell the freshness in the air that seems to say. “It’s spring.” During the early hours of the morning- you can hear the birds who have ar-

Watch Out

The onset of spring often finds the motorist on the highways with a newborn spirit of freedom. Hut watch out, cautions the Chicago Motor Club —AAA, this is the season for chuckholes that can bring the free spirit to a sudden, jarring halt. ‘This season is expected to be one of the worst for chuckholes liecause of the severity of the winter,” said Gordon Lindquist, director of safety and traffic engineering for the motor club. Chuckholes in the pavement of our streets and highways result when water, frozen in the road surface, thaws, causing the pavement to break, Lindquist said. The holes can be extremely dangerous and can cause extensive damage to your car. Your car’s tires can suffer damage from striking a chuckhole which, if undetected. could eventually cause a blowout, Lindquist said.

FARM By DON FRANTZ County Extension Agent The county extension board met last week to discuss the proposition to move the extension office. A lot of time has been spent on this proposal. Here are some of the details up to this point. Hie courthouse is becoming more and more crowded. When it was built the population of the county' was much fess than half what is now is. The office holders conducted their offices pretty much by themselves. There was no health office, visual aids department. T. B. association. Social Security or county agent. As time went along coal bins and closets became offices and a little more crowding was done each year. A year or so ago, the commissioners took part of the room the extension office has used as a meeting and office room and we used the rest. They then asked if we would be willing to move out of the courthouse and we said yes. providing the move was a good one. We dki not want to make a move to a ' poorer location just to make room for someone else. A committee was named by the extension board to investigate locations. They proposed that space be made available on the fairgrounds for an office and meeting rooms.

down by the fair board. They then recommended that a building be built just east of the Y. M. C. A. This was rejected by the commissioners, who have now proposed to rent the office in the Stephenson building, just east of the Lake theater. Our board feels it is I too small but better than anything propceed by the commissioners up U> this time. The extension office conducts about 250 to 300 meetings a year, some are very small committees, some will be several hundred people. Mere office space is not our problem. We need space to meet with people, 4-H groups, home economics organizations, livestock associations. crops committees, poultry improvement groups, low income planning committees, food, clothing, health, county planning, and a half hundred other programs that are going on. Our committee will meet again next month with the commissioners to try to make some progress in the problem

rived after a winter in the warm southland. Robins—a true sign of spring—are being spotted more and more frequently. A close look at the protected areas near the houses will reveal green plants beginning to work their way through the brown soil. Housewives are getting the “bug” to wash the winter’s dirt from the windows of their homes. Some persons have even started to rake winter s debris from their yards. True, we may have another snow storm before winter bows out. but, we can say with confidence that spring has a foot in the door.

Hitting a chuckhole also can put your wheels out of alignment, which in time can result in severe and uneven wear on tires. It is possible that if you run into a deep chuckhole at high speeds, you might even break an axle or overturn your car. The motor club cautions that motorists should not be lulled into a false sense of security because roads and highways are free of ice and snow. Motorists should be alert for chuckholes so that they have time to avoid them. However, if you find you are approaching'a chuckhole rapidly, don t stop or swerve suddenly. This could result in a collision with following or oncoming vehicles. . The motor club also urges drivers to be alert for road crews at this time of year who are likely to be out repairing highway surfaces.

Gary L. Minnick Is Recent Graduate SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Marine private Gary L. Minnick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bud V. Minnick of r 2 Leesburg, was graduated from eight weeks of recruit training at the marine corps recruit depot here. He wiH now undergo about three weeks of individual combat training and then, after leave at home, will report to his first marine corps assignment. The intensified marine recruit training emphasizes rigid physical conditioning and survival techniques, both at sea and ashore, to develop self-confidence and endurance. Marksmanship with the M-14 rifle and 45-calibre pistol are equally stressed, and dose order drill instills the traditions of Marine Corps teamwork. A thorough study of basic military subjects; hygiene; first aid and sanitation; and the customs, courtesies, history and mission of the marine corps serve to polish the new marine’s recruit education and prepare him to join marine combat forces. Leßoy E. Riddle has returned to his home on south Huntington street in Syracuse after spending the winter at El Paso, Tex., and Mesa. Ariz.
