Grape Gassing Given Okay WASHINGTON (AP) - Food and Drug Administration officials say it is all right for the fruit industry to gas grapes to keep Ihem fresh looking. Some concern over the safety of the practice has been expressed because of the controversy caused by spraying cranberries with chemical weed killer that has been found to cause thyroid can ccr in rats. The gas used on grapes, when stored after being harvested, is sulphur dioxide. It kills mold spores and reduces decay to minimum. It is frequently first ap plied to the grapes when they have been loaded into refrigerated fruit cars. The process was developed by W.T. 'Pentzer about 30 years ago while doing research at the Uni versity of California. Pentzer, now director of the Ag riculture Department's ma r k e t quality research division, says that all he did was refine a practice long used in Italy and other grape-producing countries. Food and Drug Administration officials said the negligible resi due left on grapes through use of sulphur dioxide is a sulphate that is not toxic. The officials said the gas, widely used in conserving dried fruits, should not be used in conserving meats and cheese or other products rich in vitamin B, because it destroys the vitamin. 2T ttfrs Ghosts Of Christmas Past To Be Seen On KU Stage As he docs just about each Christmas season, crotchety old Scrooge has bccii getting his come uppance from the ghosts of Christ n:as Past, Present and Future on the stase of the Klamath Union High School Little Theater. ry popular demand, the dra matics department at Kl'HS has been re-enacting Charles Dickens' most famous short work, "A Christmas Carole." .More per formances are planned free lor the public Monday, December 14. and the following Wednesday at X p.m. They're all in the act brow beaten Boh Cratchit and his wife. his two daughters and his sons. including Tiny Tim. the small cripple who has wrung compas- MRS. MARGARET KNOLL Check Car Before Trip NEW YORK (NEA)-Motorists, have a Careful Christmas! The Christmas season is a time of good cheer, but, unfortunately It ends on a note of tragedy each year for thousands of people who disregard cold weather driving pre cautions. Before your holiday travels take jrou over the hills to Grandmoth er house or to visit friends where you have to leave your car stand- ' Jng; outdoors for hours at a time, liare are some precautions you fhould take. Have fresh, effective anti freeze put into your radiator. ;Don't try to get by with last year's. 2. Check the condition of your heater and defroster. To work properly, they depend on a win ter thermostat. Have your serv ireman install one. "3. When a car is left outdoors during cold weather, frequently the windshield becomes glazed with Ice. If you remove the ice by de frosting rather than scraping, low er car windows while running the motor. If you don't asphyxiation may result. 4 If you must drive at night remove snow and ice from your head and tail lights before you start. Otherwise they will be too dim to add much to your visibility or to warn other motorists of your presence. ' 5.- If there is Ice or snow on the road, never make sudden moves, either stopping, starting or changing directions. Even on warm, sunny days, watch out, too, for those ice patches that linger in shaded areas of roads. 6. Winter road emergencies re quire special equipment. Your car trunk should contain the follow ing: shovel and sand, tire chains, spare fan belt and tire, tow rope, lug wrench for wheel nuts and first aid kit. Above all, once you get behind the wheel of your car, use com mon sense.

They are played by what Dra matics Department head Mrs. Ro berta Bloniquist calls two casts und a half." This big complement of young sters has honed technique to a keen edge with dozens of perform ances betore high school classes and other groups. F.xperirnce from other years adds to their skill. Kach year the department works out a Christmas story ot some kind lamous in literature or his tory. The story of Scrooge na turally is most often featured. That's what everyone wants to see, says Mrs. isiomqmsi. She was high in praise of her staff of technicians who handle the difficult task of lighting and costuming. Making Scrooge s vis ions pop smoothly on and off is a chore requiring deft handling she says. Bob Lossler, Joe Bispham, Geor- gianna I'uter, Gayle Osborn and Tom Fredrickson do the job nice ly, she added. Most roles are handled by two or more performers, since the grind of staging the play each hour on some days has caused players' voices to crack. Scrooge, the lead role, is played by Bob Thompson. Stewart Max well and Fred Stilwell; Bob Crat chit by Gary Bishop and Douglas Floyd; Mrs. Cratchit by Judy Da vis and Judy Bryant: Scrooge's nephew, Fred, by Trenton Doug las, Douglas Floyd and Vern Lam bert; Marloy's ghost by Tom Dowdy, George Grain. Bob Les sler and Gary Zumwalt. Dianne Wolter. Nancy Mochl and Kenny Preston play the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Fu ture. Jerry Waller, a pint-sized freshman, is Tiny Tim. Merle Sine plays the collector; Jim Sher idan, Tiny Tim's little brother; Patty Propst and Barbara White, Cratchit's daughters. The story of Scrooge's early boyhood is handled by Sharron O'Brien. Maxine Dick enson and Richard Duggan. Dancers Gail Brotherhood, Con nie Enger, Rctty Fitzgerald, Ran- ell Kerns. Sally Ann Lee, Joyce Lubke, Leigh Melton. Gayle Os born, Penny Parks, Nancy Perna- gotti, Georgianna Puter, Nancy Rusth and Katy Warren play the fiends and goblins, and they dance in the party scenes. Dianne Sigener is the reader who tells the story at the play's outset. Lead roles generally are given to juniors and seniors and the minor ones to freshmen and soph oinores, Mrs, Hlomquist explains. This is a fine show for chil dren, she says. The very young ones micht be frightened hy the ghosts, but I don't think so." In it, the granite heart of Scrooge is softened by vengeful spirits in a nightmare and Uie Cratchit family consequently spends Christ mas happily ever after. 1 4 , . vl ' . .
