On Saturday afternoon'up )n Ithaca, N.Y., the wraps were unveiled on Fran Tarkenton and-those ardent, loyal and long suffering patient N, Y. Giant Fcotball fans who waited until U p.m. to view the pro ceedings taped from the afternoon proceeding witnessed a football gama that, if nothing else, at le^t ignited a little spark o f ' hope. Pro /optball is now upon us again and the long sports drought ha; been.quenched by a downpour of football games. For the Jet fans Channel 9 had Jhe Kansas City N.Y. Jet game live from Birm* inghorm Ala., while Channel 2 at 11 p.m. showed the N.Y. Giant- Atianfa • Falcon pretaped from the afternoon proceedings. Although it was tough keep ing awake at that time of night into the wee hours of the morn ing, a loyal Giant fan was not going to mUfl seeing Fran Task* ington In 0 Giant uniform the first time out. In this reporter's humble opinion I t ' looks aS 'If Fran is worth the price. Remem ber this was his first time out and that he has not worked with the receivers of the N.Y. Giants be- ' fore. Z believe he came off rather well! having completed 12 of 24 pass attempts for 131 yards. This is not earth shattering but he was making that 3td down' pla> and he moved the ball club and even scrambled on a few occa sions and to me there Is noth- ing more exciting in a Pro-foot- boU game especially if the soram-^ bier is as clever as Fran. Even, thou^ the Giants \yound up In ■ a lO-ZO tie, the. Giants all around ploy was encouraging and I have a feeling they are going to sur-l prise a lot' of people this year. If they can pull off that rumored, trade with the St. Louis Cards | and come up with a top notch defensive tackle to- spark their otiil woefully weak pass rtish, they may pull a- complete re versal over lest year. The less said about (he Jet game, the better. They were just overwhelmed and outclassed by the Kansas City Chiefs , the AFL champs of last year and if they ore going to .walk away with all the marbles this year, they need some improvement in their deJ^nsc and better blocking.' Of course^ tlie reason for the exhl: bition gomes is for the teams to iron out' their kinks and let us hope the 'Jets iron out theixs They have the potential - and could go all theway this year providing there are no more re peats of Saturday's debacle when they wound up. on the short end of a 30-17 score. But all in al it was an exciting, weekend and the beginning of many flop py weekends for the real buffs of Pro-football no . matter, w'.w they root foe and the wlfe^ sml kids are going to become week end hecklers and are going -to have to- tolerate dear old Dad's weekend follies. m 'ohieit^A ...

Even the name comes from ^ Aztec word \Zltomate\. When the conquistadors oyerrsm Peru they, b rou^t back to Spain the lowly tomato but it w u otily a curiosity known as love apple and thoiii^t by some to be poisonus.' took about, 200 years before it was really used and then, only on the tables of the very wealthy! At that .it. was generally stewed or used in sauces. It was only -when it landed in Italy that. it really came into it's own. By the end of the 19th century they started canning it, in Bagh-> erla, a ^small town . outsLdo of Palermo. They used trellises a great deal in Italy. It is more trouble but the advantages are that the- tomato. Is cleaner - it isn't -bruised -- arid it is redder , became it gets more sun. People who habitually use Italian canned tomatoes really appreciate them since no other tomato has that wonderful con centrated flavor. Now is the time to really go all out whh them, not just in the usual ways but in the unusuall soups and fialadsl Particularly since it is one of the most widely used fruit. We started really cultivating them in this country around 1830. Even then no one was too happy with Nobody thought- they were wroth anything. Now we know that they are a wonderful source of vitamin C, holding their own with all the other sources.

I Most of us think of ai traffic .accident as happening very sud denly. To the driver and hw passengers it does seem sudden. How ever, the more we are able to understand accidents, the more'we can observe that accidents and their consequent injuries result from a sequence of events that begin a long time before. though we .don't know as much as we should about these events, it seems reasonable that there are many steps that we can take—not only as drivers, but as voters, taxpayers, consumers, i»r- ents, even as passengers—to try to interrupt this sequence. . New laws have been passed in an . attempt to reduce the ^ragic toll on America's highways. More are needed. Last year 52,500 deaths and 4,400,000 injuries resulted from traf fic accidents. The economic loss caused by these accidents amounted to 9.8 biUlon. According to an authoritative report, research is essential. It must be coupled with the new laws, better law enforcement, and a greater stress On driver education. ’ - - Research can tell us-why and how accidemts will occur. Their prevention is still largely up to the dri\^^r. - YOU AND YOUR INSURANCE VHELIAM B. WHITE $»eaeee»ee$s»e»s$» Alcohol has been found to be a contributing factor in more than half of the fatal traffic accidents, according to independent surveys. The Alcoh(d connection was established* through post-mortem studies of persons killed in accidents. The stffdies have been con ducted in a niunber of stales, and the results agree remarkably well. A. leading - safety spokesman ----------------- ^ ------- sdld, in. an annual report on high way statistics, - that each indi vidual will have to make up his own mind about his personal drinking habits and driving a car. \Obviously the,, spokesman added, \the driver enormously increases his chances of being in on accident—involving not only himself but others—^when he drives after drinking. . And . the research on this subject shows clearly that he-increases his risk* with each additional drink.” Last year more than 52,500 per sons were killed in highway ac cidents, an 8 percent' increase over 1965. Additionally, 4,400,000 persona were injured. Beyond the human suffering, the eco nomic loss as a result of the traf fic acident problem amounted to $9.8-billion. The report also showed that in 1906 more than-286,800 pedes trians became casuaUties— t 40 per cent of the total deaths occurred on weekends—four out of live personal injury 'accidents oc curred in clear weather on dry roads—and almost 32 per cent of the drivers involved in fatal accidents were under 25 years of age. \Every man, woman and child has* a stake in the traffic safety problem. Each must do all in his or her power to eliminate the terrible* carnage on our high ways,” the- spokesman added. Rdbert Davjd Fink Awarded BS Deg.
