Design,

OF Most Items
All Sportsmen
to Feel Pinch
of Metal Shortage
BY JACK VINCENT



WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-Na-
tional defense officials, refereeinG
the serious business Of rearma-
ment, are getting ready to blow
the whistle on American SPORTS
men.
The whistle is going 10 be loud
and long. 1t is going TO increase
in pitch as the defense drive goes
ahead. 1t is going to echo in the
ears of football players, bowlers.
fishermen, golfers, hunters and
Mr.. Ordinary Fan, and even among
the great army of Sunday pic
nickers.
OPM officials said today defense
needs are going TO force manufac.
turers. TO change the design,
weight and style of hundreds OF
sports items ranging from football
helmets 10 golf clubs. Some items
may even become as rare as a
no-hit game; others. like a racing
bicycle. as impossible TO acquire
las a nine-second record in a 100
yard dash.
GOLF Is HIT
Use of aluminium or aluminium
alloys for the heads of golf clubs
is being banned because aluminium
is needed for ships and tanks and
steel shaft are going TO disappear
from the linksman's golf bag.
Some manufacturers of leather
football headgear and shoulder
lpadS already are being forced to
shift 10 use of fiber. The same
substitute also is being used for
what hiterto were leather inner
Isoles in shoes.
| Even the eyelets in the shoes
are not escaping. The makers OF
football shoes are using enameled
steel instead of aluminium for eye
Iyets. Some producers of cleaths
fare complaining they can't get
lenough steel.
Fine steels may disappear, too.
from fishing rods. The style in
the future may be bamboo or just
the old fashioned wood pole.
CAN'T SPARE 1T
IIorSemen and huntsmen also
will feel the pinch. Even though
aluminium for making bits and
spurs for horses cannot be spared
from the defense program. MINI
rods used TO having brass ramrods
ito clean their guns will have 10
luse something else. The models OF
gums also are being cut down.
Cast iron is replacing aluminium in
lskeet traps; and that shiny steel
rack for the croQuet set out on
the lawn will be replaced by a
wooden rack.
Cupboard motors. ski pole rings,
camp cooking sets, tackle boxes.
bowling bags, pumps to initiate
footballs and baskctballs and many
other products will undergo radi-
cal changes through substitution
lof materials for making them or
there Just won't be any made.
The fans, particularly the candid
camera addicts. are going TO find
all amateur Photographic equip
Iment getting more scarce and
more scarce. The same goes for
Ipicnickers who also will find ther-
mos jugs capped with plastic in
stead of the usual aluminium tops.
And even the referee won't
escape. Brass and steel whistles
are going to be made of plastics
from now on, even if they don't
make as Shrill a noise.

were 26O requests for these dairy
service letters, which were pre-
pared by Kenneth w. Baker, farm
management specialist and extern
sion economist, who is now county
agent supervisor and coordinator,
at the University of Delaware.
These letters were distributed
through the Office of County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, who has sent a
letter recently to each cooperating
dairy farmer requesting that card
be filled out indicating the extent to
which this information has been
of assistance in the solution of the
problems of feeding and dairy herd
management. The data obtained
from these survey cards will be
tabulated for each county, and will
be used also in planning this pro-
ject for another year. All dairy
farmers who have received these
survey cards are urged, therefore,

ter it is signed, in order to obtain
the benefit of the free inoculation
and vaccination.
I Delaware has made an amazingly
efficient drive against diphtheria,
according to DR.. Hynson, who cites
the fact that there were no deaths
from 1t in the state last year and
that only 16 children contracted
the disease, whereas, in 1925 there
were 204 cases with 80 resulting
deaths and in 1880 there were 1877
cases with 20 deaths.
However, il Delaware is to main
tain this low number of cases, 1t is
necessary to keep up the immunity
of the population by seeing that as
many children as possible have had
the diphtheria toxoid. DR.. Hynson
stresses the fact that it is even
more important to have the young
er children at home immunized be-
cause a great number of cases oc-
cur between the ages of one to six
years. He states that both immu=
nization for diphtheria and vacci-
nation for smallpox are splendid
forms of "life insurance" for every
child. The Sussex county units
health officer advocates that babies
be immunized and vaccinated as
soon as possible after they reach
their ninth month.
Though there has been no record
of smallpox in Delaware for some
years, the United States Public
Health Service reports for the
country as a whole show 110,672
cases in 1920. Vigorous programs
for vaccination against this scourge
were carried on and in 1888 there
were 1899 cases in the United
States. These reports also show
that there are greater number

Prevention Of Disease Is

of cases of smallpox in the areas
where there is no vaccination in
the schools.
Fow acute infectious diseases
show such a complete independence
of conditions such as race, cli-
mate, soil, age, sex, occupation,
and sanitary surroundings, as does
smallpox. 1t thrives wherever con-
tagion is carried and wherever it
finds susceptible people. Probably
no one is naturally immune. U. S.
Public Health reports show that the
occurrence of smallpox is greater
in areas where vaccination is not
practiced, and that the United
States is definitely one of the coun-
tries which has a high rate of this
disease. With travel as extensive
as 1t is now from coast to coast,
one may never be sure when the
disease might be brought into the
state. Once here it would spare
neither the high or the low, the
rich nor the poor, the clean nor the
dirty. To be vaccinated only in the
face of a severe epidemic is like
locking the door after the horse
ig gone.
Physical examinations in the
schools will go on all through the
year. Where the nurses schedule
examinations by Doctor Hynson,
the parents will be notified ahead

nation of children in the Sussex
