C., Dec. 11, 1969 1 Mini-Bikes Must Conform To Law Santa Claus could be creating a violation of the law if he brings a mini-bike to a youngster who doesn’t have a driver’s license. The South Carolina Highway Department points out that even mini-bikes are included in the requirement that all two-wheel motorized vehicles be licensed and covered by insurance and that the drivers have a valid driver’s license. A person must be 15 years of age to begin learning how to ride a mini-bike (or any two-wheel motorized vehicle) and this re quires a driver’s permit to use while learning if the public streets and highways are used. After 15 days, the beginning driver may stand the regular driver’s license examination including road test At present no special license is required for operators of motorcycles or other two-wheel motorized vehi cles, but it soon will be. An approved safety helmet and eye goggles or a face shield or windshield also are required. Owners of mini-bikes must comply with the state’s safety responsibility law, just as auto mobile owners must This re quired either liability insurance with an approved company in the amount of $10,000/$20,000/ $5,000, or payment of a special uninsured motorist’s fee of $5 for vehicles of 10-brake horse power or less. n|- Lr _-i -, r < I..-..- WANT A NEW HOUSE?

Plan Ahead For Phone Call Vietnam Residents of Clinton were ad vised today by Southern Bell to plan ahead if they wish to talk during the coming holiday season to relatives or friends stationed in Vietnam. “It is generally easier for a serviceman to call home than for his family to try reaching him in Vietnam,” said A. Ray Fernell, Clinton Southern Bell manager. “And to avoid disappointments, servicemen are encouraged to notify their families in advance if they expect to telephone home, particularly during the holidays.” Fernell said that more than 42,000 calls were completed be tween the United States and Viet nam last year. Most of the calls, he added, were made from Viet nam rather than the U.S. be cause of the difficulty in locating servicemen when calls come in from the States. S/Sgt. and Mrs. William L.

Exactly what are they, and why the controversy? A. These, in a word, are che micals, the dusts, sprays, gra nules or other forms used in the home, in the garden, and in farm ing against worms, bugs, weeds, and all the other range of pests. As chemicals, some are poten tially dangerous and accidents usually occur from misuse. They should always be applied exactly according to instructions on the label. When stored they should be in the original con tainer, tightly closed, and pre ferably under lock and key. A safety check of homes will show that man> pesticides are stored in unlabeled pop bottles and left carelessly about. Such negligence could be criminal. -- W.C. Net tles, principal Extension specia list, entomology and plant pat hology. Q. What kinds of fruit trees are suitable for home orchards? A. Peaches, pears, and apples all do well in the Piedmont area of Bit. Abpkii(ihd^erfs grafted on dwarfing rootstocks make smaller, more manageable trees. Selective peach and pear varie ties can be grown in warmer areas of the state, as for south as the Coastal Plain. The county agent can make recommendations for specific localities. -- Dr. George E. Stembridge, associate professor, horticulture. Q. Can you please tell me what kind of spray to use for ter mites, also for roaches and water bugs? C.F., Liberty A. Detailed treatments for ter mites and roaches, and suggested materials, are covered in Ex tension Bulletin 101, Household Insects. Get in touch with your county agent for a copy. Water bugs are a type of cockroach and treatment for them will be in cluded in the section on roaches. These pests will be eliminated if instructions are carried out as outlined in the publication. -- Dr. J.B. Kissam, associate Extension specialist, ento mology.
