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.

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.

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

Dianne Wolter. Nancy Mochl and

freshman, is Tiny Tim. Merle
Sine plays the collector; Jim Sher

Patty Propst and Barbara White,
Cratchit's daughters. The story of
Scrooge's early boyhood is handled
by Sharron O'Brien. Maxine Dick

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

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.
