regional galance," was an essen
tial to national security since it
would assure a nucleus of skilled
personnel and management in
time of war.
After the first world a the
policy of selling ships to foreign
countries was discouraged but
under the provisions of the mer-
chant ship sales Act of 1915 the
U. S. has been selling hundreds
of ships to all comers-foreign
flags as well as private United
States buyers.
AS of January /, this year, 81
had been sold to France, 10 to
Greece, % to the Netherlands, 20
to Norway, 26 to Panama, 9 to
Italy, 10 to Honduras, 2 to Egypt,
3 to Chile, 8 to Great Britain, 8
to Argentina, 2 to Belgium, 8 to
Canada, and l to Denmark.
A majority of these were liber-
ty ships or tankers and brought
an average price of about $780,
600.
In the reserve fleet, which
numbered 1,738 ships of all types
at the first of the year, there
were 851 liberties and 1928 tankers.
Helping out the passenger ship
deficit a little are a number Of
old ships ranging from 10 to Is
years in age. These are being re-
converted for the trans-pacific
and South American runs, but
their usefulness if expected to end
in 10 to Is years.
This is how badly off we are"
a New York shipbuilder declared.
''before the war American ships
got so per cent of the North At
lantic trade. Now we get maybe
five or six per cent.
Before the war those liners
did $3.50 million business annually.
In another five years Europe will
be ready for tourists again. But
it takes years to build a big liner
after the contract is let and the
keel laid. What's going to happen
to US if we don't get startede"
J. Lewis Luckenbach, president
of the American Bureau of Ship
ping. declared in a recent adj
dress, "many of Jul ships e
being sold to foreigners who can
and will take full advantage of
their operation. what we need
is the backing of our government
to spend a few million dollars an
nually instead of billions at a
time when billions accomplish
little when compared with mil
lions spent prudently over years"
In 1914, the late President Ro-
osevelt proposed a plan aimed at
a continuous peacetime shipbuild-
ing program.
Shipping men now hail appoint
ment of President Truman's COM
mittee as the rebirth of this plan
to give the United States. a sub
stantial, long range policy of the
kind it has never had before.

YMCA ACTIVITIES
. CAN BE APPRAISED
Good OF Organization Is
Seldom Considered By
Appraisal Value .
BY ADAM SMITH
sY' Physical Director

A representative of an appraised
company said to directors Of the
YMCA that his company, which
has been in business for a long
time, could appraise the building,
equipment, and furnishings of the
association and establish impor-
tant values The appraisal was
authorized, the work was done, a
report was submitted.
An appraisal of the physical
holdings of an institution is not
new or unusual. 1t is just good
business procedure. Guess work
IS eliminated and the findings are
there in black and white; assets
r listed and appraised. The
worth in dollar and cents is known.
There is a holding OF YMCA,
however, which is seldom listed or
appraised when an appraised COM
pany makes a study. yet it is an
essential possession. 1t is not
tangible or visible, can't be pur,
chased, but it does have real
worth. 1t is the spirit that exist
within an association. 1t gives
life, warmth, and attractiveness-I
yes, and strength to a 'Y' and
must be considered when the worth
of an association is totaled up.
Its worth cannot be appraised
any more than the worth of a good
committeeman or that of a good
leader can be determined. It is
that which gives driving power,
urges an association on when there
may be a tendency to be at ease
and keeps those responsible for
the welfare of an association from
being content and satisfied.
The spirit of an institution is
difficult to appraise, yet is one
asset of a 'Y' which needs to be
appraised and reappraised. Unless
the spirit of an association is kept
above par, things do not go well.
The 'Y' is not in a position to
impel Or force. Membership, sup
port and service are voluntary.
One of the challenging things
about the YMCA is its appeal to
all kinds of young men with all
KINDS Of interests and hopes and
dreams and ambitions. Young
men from all walks of life find
friends, aquaintances, inspiration,
guidance and a definite outlet for
expression and service.
We thik of a boy who first NJ
tacted the 'Y' program through the
Sunday School Basketball League,
sponsored by the 'Y' for the young

DELAWARE FARM FRONT

c.. E. Ocheltree, chairman of the

issued an appeal to farmers to at
tend their local farm-program COM
mittee man elections to be held in
Delaware on November II.
Two regular committee members
and two delegates will be chosen in
each community. A delegate and an
alternate will also be elected to the
county convention which will be
held on November 13 to choose the
county committee of three men,
bers.
Approximately 5000 Delaware
farmers are eligible to vote in the
election this year. Eligible farmers
are those who are participating in
the 1947 Agricultural Conservation
I Program.
Poultrymen can cooperate in saw
ing grain by doing everything pos
sible to maintain efficient produc-
ton, says j. Frank Gordy, exten-
sion poultryman for the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service.
Gordy says that poor feeding
practices alone increases the feet

Oil Well Lost Amid Shift
ing Sands of Time
AP Newsfeatures

CASPER, Wyo.-There have been
many tales of lost gold and silver
mines in the wilds of the Rocky
Mountains, and now the Sinclair
Wyoming Oil Co. reports the loss
of an oil we'll.
The abandoned we'll is in the Fer
ris. oil field of Natrona county and
Sinclair has a map which purports
TO shows the exact location. But
Sinclair still can't find it.
Pierre La Fleiche, state mineral
supervisor, disclosed that the well,
valuable chiefly for the consider
able quantity of casing and pipe left
in the hole, was covered to depth
of so to 100 feet by one of the big
migratory sand dunes in that area.
Eventually the dune, moving 20
tc 80 feet annually, will shift away
uncovering the location again.
Following the oil field map, a
Sinclair crew dug into sand direct
~ over what they thought was the
well site, but it wasn't there.
Electric doodle bugs" combed
the area, sending forth signals
when underground metal was con
tacted. Bulldozers bored into dune;
only to uncover an old wheel OF
some other piece of scrap metal.
Sinclair sold the lost we'll to Fret
Goodstein for pipe salvage pur,
poses, but under the contract Good
stein will pay only on the basis o
the amount of pipe recovered. 81
Sinclair can't collect until the pro
perty is located.

POTATOES, SKIN
MILK PLAN URGED
BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGE
AP NezcsfeatureS Writer

WASHINGTON - Some food ex-
perts are urging that potatoes and
skim milk be combined in wafer on
biscuit form as a nutritious and re-
latively cheap food for export to
European countries.
Dairy research workers in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture point out that skim milk,
like potatoes, is in abundant sup
ply. Only fraction of the skim
milk produced in this country is
now converted to food or indus
trial purposes, creating serious
disposal problem for the milk in
dustry.
Before the war a new potato
skim milk product was developed
experimentally by B. HI. Webb OF
the departments dairy laboratories
as means of increasing the con
sumption of surplas skim milk. Nc
manufacturer is known to be put
ting out such a product CONNER
cially.
In Several Forms
The product developed by Webt
can be made in the form of waters
sticks or croutons. They differ from
shoestring potatoes and potato
chips in that they contain mill
solids but not fat.
They are made by whipping ali

processes for using more skim milk
and whey in both domestic and
foreign-type cheese. Another re-
search project is aimed at finding
wider use sfor milk and milk by
products in evaporated, condensed
and dried milk and in other food
products.
The need for new uses for skim
milk and whey has been made more
urgent by an expansion of IS per-
cent in milk. production and in
creased delivery of whole milk, ra-
ther than cream, to manufacturing
plants during the past 10 years.
Since the wars end milk fat has
increased in value, but skim milk
prices have decreased.
