MASTITIS LABORATORY
RENDERS SERVICE TO
STATE DAIRYMEN
(cOntlnued from arse page1

Many Delaware dairymen are
taking advantage of the services
rendered at the Mastitis Laboratory,
but to more completely prevent and
control mastitis in Delaware, DR..
Palmer urges all dairymen to nave
their herds tested.
He says that even if mastitis is
not present, testing the entire herd
once or twice a year is advisable.
If mastitis is a problem, the herd
should be tested at frequent inter-
walls. All infected animals should be
discovered and treated and the tests
should be continued until the herd
is free of infection.
Dairymen wishing to have their
cows tested for mastitis may write
phone, or call in person at the Mas
tits Control Laboratory. E. S. Bid
die is the mastitis specialist in
charge of the laboratory.

Old Avenue Church
Is Being Demolished
continued from nrsr page,

Church built here. In 1889, lot
was secured on North Street and a
frame building 30 feet by 35 feet
was built for worship on the site
where the Methodist graveyard now
is situated. This was dedicated in
1889. In 1900 this church was found
too small for the rapidly increasing
attendance, and an addition of %
feet was made. Here the people
worshiped for AZ years and the con-
ference was held here in 1921.
In 1912 the brick church, now
known as the st. Paul Church, at
Northwest Third Street and North
Street was constructed. 1t was ded-
icated in 1912. This building is now
occupied as colored church.

razed was built in 1871, and dedica-
ted in 1877, at an original cost OF
$40, 900. It is of two-story contruc-
ton, the lower floor having been
originally used for Sunday School.
The old church building has been
the scene of many religious reviv-
ais, and important meetings, in
cluding the Peninsula Methodist
Conference.
New Church Dedicated in 'S9
The new stone church which ad'
joins this building was dedicated OF
| Christmas Eve in 1889.

 High Living Costs

SEATTLE, (P) - The govern ment's Alaska ship rate investiga- tion ended in Seattle Wednesday with testimony by a steamship company witness tn at current freight rates are not responsible for high prices in the Territory.
 Dr. Henry A. Burd, University of Washington marketing profes- sor, appearing for Alaska Steam ship company, said a recent price survey in Ketchikan, Juneau, Fair banks and Anchorage disclosed "no appreciable relation between freight rates and the high cost of living in Alaska"
 The maritime commission hear ing, which began October 27, co:'- cluded with rebuttal testimony by officials of Aleska Steamship con- pany and Alaska Transportation company to earlier charges that ships sailed from Seattle only par tially loaded.

WASHINGTON, (P) - Marshall plan storm signals flew over Cap itol Hill today, but administrative leaders credited Soviet foreign minister Molotov with unwilling but powerful help in their presses sion drive for congressional ap- proval of a European recovery program.
 Molotov'S Moscow radio blast at the United States, in which he said that Russia's struggle for power "is just beginning pin pointed for many lawmakers the anti-communist color of proposed stop-gap and long-range economic aid.
 Senator McGrath R.-R.D chair man of the Democratic national committee, said grimly that Molo- tov had defeated his own purpose if it was his aim to discourage American action to help the west ern European nations outside the Soviet orbit stay on their feet.
 Statements of this kind only serve to solidify the American peo- pie, the Rhode Island Senator told a reporter.
 On the Republican side, Senator Capper of Kansas, a foreign rela- tions committee member, said he expects Congress answer will be to approve the assistance program which secretary of state Marshall will sketch for Senate and House committees Monday.

Congress Will Not Change Taft
 Hartley Labor Law

WASHINGTON, (P)-The door to any major changes in the Taft Hartley labor law by the next Congress swung almost shut yes terday.
 Chairman Ball R. -MinnD told reporter he thinks it extremely un- likely that the joint Congressional committee appointed to study re- visions in the act will find any need for alterations.
 While the committees decision alone would not bind Congress, the Minnesota Senator's attitude apparently reflects agreement with that of Senator Taft R.-Ohio), CO., author of the law and chairman of both the Senate labor and COP policy committees.
 Between them, the two Senators are conceded the power to block Senate action and thus kill any ef- forts by others to meet the de- mand of organized labor leaders for drastic revision of the act.
 Ball said he thinks any "ambigu- ities' that have cropped up can be taken care of largely by admin istrative decisions of the national labor relations board.
