Caution on Using Sodium FluOrids
For Wormins Hogs:
Sodium fluoride has been found to
be the cheapest and most effective
method for treating hogs for round
worms--if used right.
1T SHOULD NOT BE MIXED IN
THE SLOP, but used in dry feed.
If it is used properly. only one
treatment with sodium fluoride is
necessary to control roundworms in
pigs and hogs. You must be careful
to mix the sodium fluoride thorough
ly with the dry feed. Poorly mixed
with dry feed or mixed in slop, So
dunn fluoride is poisonous to hogs.
The procedure to follow in using
sodium fluoride for worming hogs
is as follows:
Give hogs about half their daily
ration the day before treatment.
Mix one pound of sodium fluoride
carefully and thoroughly with SO
pounds of dry feed. This amount is
enough to treat from 20 to Is hogs.
For small amounts, mix one level
teaspoon of sodium fluoride with one
quart of dry feed.
Put enough of the mixture in a
trough large enough to provide from
to 5 pounds of feed for each hog
depending on weight. 1t is best to
feed small groups at time so each
hog will get sufficient dose.
Treat the pigs in one group, the
shoats in another, and the grown
hogs in third group.
Keep water before the pigs at all
times.
After "a hours put the pigs back

 Two 5-gallon oil tanks provide 1he balance for the craft, which Ere equipped with one paddle. The boats also resemble kayaks
 As each craft is completed, it is allotted to one youngster for his own use but remains MT. Harding's property. Then if a suIe is broken, the kid stands to lose something.
 The rules, naturally, are for tbe children's own protection. Most of the kids who use the boats are between 6 and 10. They can't come down town in she craft and must keep out of channel traffic, although they can go to Near Is. if they want

 It's the little girls, rather than the bays, who are the hardest customers, according to Mir Harding. They break the rules too often. "Why just the other day one of the girls had 2-ima- zine, 2-other tiny kids in the boat with her."

Vandenberg May Get
Top Post In UN
President, Marshall Reported Fav.
Oring Senator For Chief Delegate
By Associated Pres

WASHINGTON, Nov. - Diploma
tic circles heard recently that Sena-
tor Nandenberg (R-Mich.) may be-
come chief U. ). delegate to the Uni
ted Nations.
The top American post in the UN,
carrying the rank Of ambassador.
is expected to be vacated shortly by
the retirement OF Warren K. Austin
Taken i'll during the Paris session
OF the UN General Assembly, Aus
TN, who recently passed his list
birthday, is recuperating at a hos
pital here.
A Vermont Republican and a
noted lawyer, Austin was called
from the Senate to the UN assign
ment by President Truman. The ap-
pointment eXemplified the biparti-
san approach of Republican and
Democratic leaders to the develop
ment Of U. S. foreign policy through
the UN.
IN choosing a successor to Austin,
Mr. TrUmanand Secretary of State
Marshall are reported to be givin5
hrSt consideration to Vandenberg.
He was one of the leading archi-
tects Of the UN Charter, and chair
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tiOns Committee i'll the 80th Con-
gresS.
The difficulty, however, which
probably would confront Mr.. Tru-
man in getting the 64-year-Old Mich
igan senator for the UN ambassa-
dorship would be the reluctance of
N2nden5erg to leave the Senate
where he has served 20 years.
In the next Congress, although he
will relinquish the committee chair
manship which he held for the past
two years, Vandenberg would speak
for the Republican Party on foreign
policy. He would also have great in
fluence in directing COP policy on
both foreign and domestic issues.

studies mostly to Kent, Sussex and
rural New Castle County. The need
Of every community is great as far
as school buildings co." Mr.. Taylor
said.
The survey is expected to be COM
pleted during December so that
recommendations will be ready
when the General Assembly con-
.Venes in January. The study has
been underway about a month, Mr..
Taylor said. The survey was held
up until as close to January as pos
sible because conditions change so
frequently that an earlier picture
might not be satisfactory by the
time the General Assembly gets
started, the engineer said.
Included in the needs that are be-
ing given prime consideration are
the comprehensive high schools for
Negroes in Kent and Sussex COun-
ties and the growing expansion of
populations in sections of New Cas-
tie County
Writing in the news bulletin of
the Department of Public Instruc-
ton, Mr.. Stewart disclOses that: "A
number of school surveys are being
conducted by members of the State
Department to assist in the develop
ment of plans for the construction
of school buildings. The State Board
OF Education and the Building Com
mission secured thp SprVicoS Of m,
William E, Arnold, nationally
known authority on school build
ings, to assist in the survey"
In addition to funds for new
buildings, the Legislature will prob
ably be asked for an appropriation
for repair of present buildings.
These needs are compiled by E. F.
LOyell, supervisor of building and
grounds of rthe state department.
