Ten Hits Stuart Nielsen and Terrv Ernst hurled one-hit ball and were supported by a 10-hit Plattsmouth attack as the Jun ior Legion baseball team sccored a 11-1 win over Ashland Wed nesday night. The lone hit by Ashland came in the fifth inning and led to the only Ashland run.

A walk to Loren Hasse, and base hits by Vernon Kaffenberg er, Denny Hirz, Terry Ernst and Jim Pucelik, ' followed by three putouts brought in the five markers.

The game was called at that point with Plattsmouth out front 11-1. Nielsen and Ernst allowed but one hit, walked one and struck out 8. Only three Ashland run ners reached base, one on an error. Safe Speed Saves Lives; Conditions Determine Rate The solution to the problem of speed lies in convincing drivers that the only safe speed is a speed determined by prevailing conditions, and that the only intelligent speed is a safe speed, says Bill Lutes, farm safety spe cialist at the College of Agricul ture. Of the fatal accidents in 1952. some 28 per cent of the drivers were violating a speed law, 17 per cent were exceeding state speed limits, 11 per cent exceed ing safe speed although travel ing at less than the speed limit or where no stated limit existed A speeding car travels a great er distance between the time the brakes are applied and the time the car stops than a slow-moving vehicle travels in the same time. According to a law of. physics, Lutes says, energy Is portional to the square of the speed. In other words, if you double the speed, you'll hit four time as hard.

These hoppers may be con trolled by using a chlordane 5 per cent dust, or 45 per cen emulsion concentrate at the rate of 4 teaspoons per gallon of wa ter, Roselle says. Spray or dust the borders and weedy patches near the garden. Chlordane may be used on potatoes, strawberries when they are not bearing, and ornamental plants. Chlordane should not be used on tomatoes, cucurbits, and other tender plants because of phytotoxic properties of chlordane. It should not be used on cabbages, lettuce, greens or other edible plants and plant parts.
