10th Anniversary
Of Soil Program
Continued from nrst page,

Each of the three Delaware coun-
ties has been Soil Conservation
Dlstrlct for several years.
Kent County farmers were the first
10 petition the Delaware State Soil
Conservation Commission to declare
Kent County a District. Sussex
county became a District a few
months later and New Castle fol-
lowed in about year. The function
OF all of the three Districts is al
most the same although the con-
servation problems vary. In New
Castle County erosion is the most
severe problem while in Sussex
County drainage received most con-
sideration. Kent County has about
equal problems of erosion and
drainage.
The Districts give a great deal of
help to Delaware farmers by maxi
ing equipment available for con-
servation work on an actual cost
basis. The biggest contribution
however, is probably the assistance
that they make available for every
farmer with the development of a
complete plan for his farm. Tech
nicians available through the Dis
trict will at no cost provide any
Delaware farmer with complete
soils information for his farm and
will supply up-to-the-minute agri-
cultural information as it applies
to each individual farm. With this
information and with the help of a
District technician any Delaware
farmer can make a conservation
plan for his farm. This plan will en-
able him to treat every acre ac-
cording to its needs and to get the
maximum return from his farming
efforts.
This assistance is available il
each of three counties through the
respective County Agents Of
through the local District Supervi
sors. Information may also be OBJ
tanned at the District Offices located
! in Newark, Dover and Georgetown.

MEXICAN-INDIAN
CLAIMS
Nv HOWARD DOBSON


WASHINGTON-The government
is still doing it's claim business at
the same old stand.
The Indian Claims Commission,
created by Congress last year, has
taken over the Offices, telephone
cumberland much of the staff
of the American-Mexican Claims
Commission which expired by law
April 4.
Until the final days of the con-
gressiOnal session, however, the
commission was financial orphan.
Congress waited until almost the
last minute to appropriate funds
for it, and the three 10,000-a-year
commissioners had jobs without
paychecks from mid-April until the
end of July.
The appropriation was made in
an omnibus bill which took care of
a lot of unfinished fiscal business.
Mexican Claims Paid
At last, all of the pending claims
of United States citizens against
Mexico and Mexican citizens are
settled. Certain claims always have
been handled directly by the State
/ Department, and in the future all
Mexican claims will go to it.
James A. Langston, secretary OF
the last of a long line of Mexican
claims commissions, is pretty proud
of how it all came out.
The commission paid off 1856
! claims for $37,948, 200.O5. The peo-
pie making them had asked origi.
4 nally for 1851, 250,950.
Altogether, LangstOn explained
recently, the several commissions
that have shuffled Mexican claim!
around since 1923 approved abou
$40,75O,00O worth. Under an agree
ment with the Mexican Government
Mexico put up a little more thar
$40,500,000 to pay them.
Some Money Lacking
That leaves some successful
claimants still holding the bag TO
about $215,0OO, Langston said. The,
won't get it, unless the Mexican
government puts up the money.
The last 200 claims settled by tn
commission were the historic TeXa
cattle claims which originated i
the late 1868. They arose fror
border raids by Mexican soldiers
and once amounted to more tina

Surrey Shows Women
Overlook Fat Sources

Women tend to bypass the less
obvious sources of fat for salvage,
according to the continuing survey
of which a sample is taken every
so days by the American Fat Sal
wage Committee.
Only % percent of the women
who save fat bother to trim raw
fat from meat before it is cooked,
as compared to 80 percent who did
this operation in March, 1947.
Swimming globules of fat from soup
has lost adherents since March, as
has rendering of fat from table
scraps, and saving of grease from
the roasting pan.
To skim fat from soups, stewS,
gravies, home economists suggest
allowing the liquid to cool, then
with a spatula, remove the layer or
globules of fat. When the soup or
stew is reheated to serve flavor
and consistency are improved.
Scraps of fat, bone and gristle
left on dinner plates can be rend-
cred in a double boiler on top OF
the stove, in a frying pan over a
low flame, or in the oven when il
is lighted for other cooking.
Milford chronicle., 1947-08-01

Before making gravy for the
roast, home economists suggest
pouring the excess fat from the
rooster pan into a fat salvage con-
tainer. This fat may be reused in
other cooking, but eventually, when
it becomes rancid and highly flavor
ed, it should be turned over to the
meat dealer.
This day-by-day saving OF fat
skinned from soups, stews, graV-
les, rendered from table scraps and
raw fat cut from the roast before
cooking is conservation that should
not be overlooked.
Clinton P. Anderson, Secretary or
Agriculture, urges women to con-
tinue saving every ounce of used
cooking fat, since the overall sup
ply situation is little better now
than it was last year when we werS
desperately short, particularly OF
industrial fats.
Every pound of used cooking fat
fat skinned from soups and stewsr
rendered down from table scraps
and fat cut from meat, as well as
frying pan grease and broiler drip
pings, helps fill this need, and sup
plies goods.

SUSSEX COUNTY AIRPORT MAY
BE CLOSED DUE TO DEFICIT
continued from t,rst page,

In the court resolution passed
last week, Colonel Goldsborough
was instructed to make a complete
report of airport activities and
money received during his en-
ployment in his present position.
This report will be sent to the
comptroller of Sussex County.
Mr. Mitchell said that no new
buildings or large construction had
been undertaken at the airport
since the county took it over but
said he did not have the records at
his home to present the figures on
increased costs and general ex-
penses.
Warrington Takes Over
The court president disclosed
that all airport activities, until the
future plans are decided upon, will
be handled by Sheridan Warning
ton, member of the airport staff
who was employed at the site when
1t was in government hands. Mr.
Warrington assisted the govern
ment in setting up the facilities OF
the airport before Sussex County
took it over, Mr.. Mitchell said.
IF the present loss of money
and increased expense continue
with no funds coming in, we will
probably have to close the air.

explained that Colonel Goldsbor-
ough and Mr.. Warrington were the
only two man handling the gen.
eral operation of the site. No other
person for the position of manager
is being considered, he disclosed
until the Levy Court is able tc
determine the future of the air
port.
The base was originally con-
structed at cost of more thai
100000 for use as a training
field during the war where carrier
pilots practiced takeoffs and land

BlankneSs of Mind

Blankness of the mind is not usu-
ally sought by most people-at least
during the day. At night, however,
it is one of the best ways to get to
sleep. 1t is easiest to keep the mind
blank, all worries pushed aside,
when mattress, springs and pillows
are comfortable, gently encourag-
ing sleep.

Preserving

An easy way to preserve enough
minnows for a day or two of fishing
is to place them side by side, about
an inch apart, OF a piece of cloth
sprinkled with salt. Cover the min
nows with salt and roll them up.
While the salt will cause them to
shrink somewhat, water will make
them plump again.

Washington LPA)-The $4 bill
lion tax reduction bill, assailed by
all sections of organized labor as
"favoring the greedy against the
needy" was sent to the White
House last week as indications
grew that it would be vetoed.
The measure, which cuts person
al income taxes 10h% to 30% be-
ginning July 1, was approved by
the House by 220 to SO, enough OF
a margin to override veto. In
the Senate, however, the vote was
48 to %, not enough to indicate
the possibility of overriding veto.
COP leaders, in fact, conceded that
a veto would probably be sustain
ed easily in the Senate. Truman has
until midnight June II to sign the
bill, veto it or let it become law
without his signature.
A sensational charge by Rep.
Herman Eberharter 3D., Pa.) that
the Republican plan "is to substi-

Camden, N. 1.-THE last regular

was held on Friday evening, June

The meeting was the occasion for
the report of the negotiating COM
mittee which incidentally ended a
series of conferences with the Of
ficials of the Universal Sanitary
Manufacturing Co., at which ear
lier in the day, a compromise
agreement was reached between
the company and the committee.
Bro. James Solon Eastern organ
izer, presented the new wage pro-
posals to the local membership.
After quite some discussion, the
same was overwhelmingly ratified,
with negligible objections from GER
tain members.
While the committee along with
brothers Wheatley and Solon, re-
gret that they were unable to reach
an agreement with the firm on our
original demands, nevertheless a
wage increase was obtained that
should help to offset the higher
cost of living during the last few
months.
A special meeting was held i'm
mediately after work, on Wednes-
day, June 4th, to discuss the COM
pany's proposal at previous con-
ference, the same being just as en-
phatically rejected as the final pro-
posal was accepted. Needless to
