NEW YORK. A-(AP)--- Many
family dinners are going to be
run down and wasted on the ma
tion's highways during the sum
mer months unless motorists ex-
ercise greater care while driving,
says M. B. Allen, hunting author
ity of Western Winchester.
A large portion of this food
waste occurs at night, says AL
len, when birds and animals are
blinded by headlights. He be-
heves that more moderate speeds
would eliminate much of this
needless waste.

SERVICE ENLISTNIENTS
Procedure For Enlistments of Per-
sonneI According to Training

Former enlisted members of the
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and
Coast Guard who were honorably
discharged from active service (or
released under honorable condi-
tions), or after IL May s1945, may
enlist in grades commensurate
with their prior active service pro-
vided: they held certain occupa-
tional specialties while in the Arm
ed Forces. This is an example of
the modernized thinking of the
New Regular Army and it also
shows the army is seeking to enlist
men of the highest type of tech
nical skill and training. Such rat
ings will give them positions of re-
sponsibility comparable to those
which they could demand in civil
ian life. Any discharged veteran
whose service was in one of these
specified catergories will be eligi-

trade names may be recognized by
the label that tells how they differ
from soap. In hard water they do
not give the cloudiness character

FARM SERVICE

]. F. Bell Appointed AS Agri-
cultural Engineer to Staff
of Extension Service
TO COPE WITH PROBLEMS

An expanded field of service now
becomes available to Delaware ag-
riculture with the announcement
this week of the appointment of
Jack F. Bell, of Ivor, Virginia, as
agricultural engineer to the staff
of the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. Mr.. Bell is a
graduate of Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia,
where he received his bachelor of
science degree in agricultural en-
gineering in 1887. He was reared
on a farm and is veteran of
World War II where he served as
an officer in the European Theater
of Operations. Prior to his ap-
pointment to the Extension staff
he was employed by the Virginia
Electric and Power Company, Rich
mond, Virginia.

Need For Engineer

In announcing the appointment
of Mr.. Bell, George L. Schuster,
director of the Delaware Extension
Service, states that for some time
now there has been an ever in
creasing need in the state for the
services of an agricultural engin-
eer. with the appointment of
Mr.. Bell we are now in a position
to work with the farmers of the
state an give them guidance and
assistance in coping with the many
engineering problems facing them
as they employ modern methods of
farming" said Director Schuster.
Among the special projects that
Mr.. Bell will begin Immediately to
develop with the county agents of
the State are rural electrification,
farm power and machinery, hay
driers, farm structures and farm
work simplification.

SPAAK himself got off to a good political
start when he was II: he spent two years of
World War | in German prison. After the
Armistice. he became a speech-making law
student, and got elected to Parliament when
he was 33. Then he became a foreign
affairs expert. was named Foreign
Minister in 1886. He has spent most of
his time in that post since.
That background. plus his experience in
presiding over the Nine-P Power Conference

recent years in London as Belgium Foreign
Minister got him % out of the 81 votes for
the Assembly President post.

Paul Spaak's career has taken
him from wartime internment
to UN Assembly chair. He rode
part way in a magician's trunk
TNHE President of the United Nations
Il General Assembly got there in false
bottom trunk. The plot is good enough to
have been popping up in thrillers for years.
It's worth repeating only because the star
of the tale is Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgian
Foreign Minister who, when the UN meets
in New York. steps into one of the worlds
top political jobs as Assembly President.
The story goes back six years, when the
Nazis thought they had the world by the
tail. Spaak escaped from Belgium, crossed
France, reached neutral Spain - where
Francois police grabbed him. But since he
was an important statesman, they oblig
ingly lnterned him in Barcelona hotel room
instead of the concentration camp they
usually used Guards had strict orders not
to let him out of the hotel for a minute
That was the situation when British Intel
lgence appeared on the scene.

Quick-Change Artist

ONE bright morning an aged Franciscan
monk laboriously descended the stairs of
the old hotel He leaned heavily on his thick
walking stick as he limped through the
lobby. The Fascist police bowed reverently
as he struggled into the limousine parked
at the curb
When the car stopped along the high
way. the monk jumped out - without
his stick and without his limp. A group
of men waiting beside the road helped him
climb into the false-bottom, disappearing
act trunk. And NJ Spaak proceeded to
disappear. BY the time Francois boys had
caught on to the trick, he was in Portugal,
headed for England
Spaak thinks the whole incident was just
another step in the training of world
diplomat. He is probably right, since he is
fairly typical of the breed of skilled, coura-
geous politicians produced by European up
