Farmers interested mplanting summer grazing should try some of the new Hybreds Sudan. They are fast growing and high yield ing. Almost any variety will do a good job. I would suggest you do a good job of land prepara tion, use plenty of fertilizer along with a lot of nitrogen sidedress ing. If you get the rain you will surely have a time keeping up with it.

Maxie’s new brick home is located so that he can easily check each pasture. These pastures are beautiful at this time of the year.

Hamilton, who has been asso ciated with Torrington since 1935, said of the new program: "First of all, we can all learn from each "ther. For example, a safety hazard which might be uncovered at our Clinton plant might also exist at Torrington without anyone being aware of it. We would immediately report ttie situation to all divisional com mittees so that they could look into it at their own location and, if a similar tiazard exists, take steps to correct it. . Hamilton’s first 24 years with Torrington were spent at South Bend, Ind., where tie serve as plant engineer and safety direc tor. While tie was in charge of safety there, a record of 870 days without a lost time injury was attained. In 1959, he went to Walhalla, S. C., as resident engineer with Torrington to assist in design and construction of that plant. In 1960, he came to Clinton on ttie same assignment. More recently, he has assisted in the preliminary planning of the Honea Path plant. Conn., plant with PHil and Edward A. Meyer. Dr. Eichelberger Is Assigned To S.

Two Are Fined In Sticker Missuse Two Heath Springs men have been charged with offenses a- gainst the state’s motor vehicle Inspection law as a result of an investigation by the State Highway Patrol. Col. P. Frank Thompson said charges had been made against one man for displaying an in spection certificate without his car having been inspected, and against another man for having sold an inspection certificate without having inspected the ve hicle. Both cases have been tried at Heath Springs, with the man who sold the sticker being fined $38 and the recipient of the stick er $28. Ttie Patrol conducted an inves tigation after the owner of an of ficial inspection station reported that some stickers had been taken from his station without his know ledge. One sticker was traced to a 1956 Chevrolet; several stick ers were handed over to the in vestigating officer, and some other stickers were found hidden on the premises of the inspect ing station. Vehicle inspection certificates are assigned to inspection sta tions by serial numbers on the certificates. Each station is held accountable for the numbers as signed it, and per icxlically the re cords are audited by Highway De partment personnel to assure that the stickers are being properly handled. * * * FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 3rd day of June, 1969, I will render a final account of my acts and do ing as Administrator of the es tate of Kathryne H.
