Race Relations Improve
In New Jersey

NEWARK, N. j. - (ANPl-hace
relations have improved In New
Jersey, the Division Against Dis
elimination Of the New Jersey De-
partment of Education reported last
week.
Joseph L. Bustard, chairman OF
the division, said fewer complaints
have been registered than ever be-
fore. He pointed out that only four
school districts still have ah'Negro
schools.
He emphasized most the Improve
inert in the health iacilities situa'
ticr in the state as tar as Negroes
are concerned.
Only one of S. voluntary hospitals
refused Negro patients. and u OF
these hospitals have Negro and
White patients in the same rooms.
Patients of both races shared the
sa me semi-private rooms in 81
institutions.
Whereas in 1e47 when the states
antidiscrimination law were first put
into effect only 20 public and pri-
vate hospitals hired Negro nurses
todav 81 private and all 20 pubic
hospitals employ Negro nurses ne
said.
Opportunities for Negro physicians
in New Jersey have increased, too
the commission reported.
Bastard encouraged Negro parents
and school advisers to back up
colored students who wanted to seek
Jobs not already held by Negroes.
On the education front, Bustai
reported that the four school di
tricts still maintaining separai
schools we're in the southern part OF
the state and were under influence
of the south. At the same time ne
praised East Orange, Passaic
Plainfield, Linden, and Hamilton
Township for hiring Negro teach
ers although few colored persons
lived in these areas.
He reprimanded Negro parent
and teachers who were "conserva
tive" about giving up segregated
schools because of a fear for tn
Jobs available to Negro teachers il
integrated schools.
In the field Of employment he re
ported that the Hudson and Man
haitian railroad had agreed to hir'
qualified Negro train operators i
they apply. and that the indepen
dent Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-

Two New Sprays
For Hog Mango

Two new spray materials
benzene hexachloride and Chlor-
dane-have proved effective in
the control of mango on hogs,
according to Herbert M. Barnes,
extension swine specialist at
Ohio State University.
Either of these compounds,
now available in various COM
mercial forms, he says, can be
used as a high pressure spray, as
a knapsack type spray or as a
dip. In any case, however, he
warns farmers not to use more
than the recommended .25 per
cent spray concentration
Experiments at various sta
tions have shown that either of
the new chemicals will control
hog lice as well as mango, al
though busting the bedding with
a 2 percent chlordane powder is
recommended by manufacturers
as an alternate method for louise
control
Treatment of breeding stock to
prevent infestation of the market
hogs, Mr.. Barnes declares, would
be a more sound practice than
trying to treat the entire pig
crop. Complete cleanup will de-
pend upon strict sanitation in the
hog house and lots, in addition
to careful spraying of the hogs.
Since either of the chemicals
are mixed with water, hogs may
be treated during the winter.
Some judgement must be used
in picking the time, the special
ist adds, "as the day should be
mild and clear with little or no
wind. Hogs should be kept out of
drafts and placed on clean bed
ding.
If hogs are showing symptoms
of some other disease in addition
to mango, Mr.. Barnes states it
would be dangerous to spray
since the cold and shock might
aggravate the other condition.
A veterinarians advice is con-
Sidered essential in cases of this
kind.
Farmers desiring good results
with the spray, Mr.. Barnes adds,
must carefully and accurately
mix the solution and apply the
spray. Mango mites burroW in
great numbers in the creases
around the head and in the ears.
A finesspray is necessary to get
coverage inside the ear without
flooding the ear to the discom-
fort and irritation of the hog.

New Laws Will
Govern Elections

The newly formed Ohio Asso-
citation of Election Officials has
gone on record as favoring sew
eral changes in the procedure
governing state and local cleo
tiOns, in addition to the many
proposals which are now before
the general assembly.
The new association approved
the following to eliminate the
voiding of ballots which now
cannot be counted if they bear
any marks other than an "X".
"An *" shall be used by a
voter in marking his ballot, pro-
vided, however, that no ballot or
a vote for any candidate, shall
be rejected for any technical err
rOr if it is possible to determine
the choice Of the voter"
Also approved by the associa-
ton:
Authority and discretion of
election boards to locate polling
places for the convenience Of
voters outside of precinct bound
aries.
Nominating petitions for CEN
tral committee candidates with
five to IS signatures of electors
without use of notary public as
a witness to each signature.

Aloysius Estadt
Continued from page one)

In presenting the award, Mr..
Price pointed out industry's need
for steady flow of new ideas.
Zone of the greatest assets of
American industry - and one
which can't be properly evalu-
ated or recorded-is the ingenu-
ity Of the American workman"
he said. by finding better ways
to do your job, you and thou
sands of other Westinghouse
people in all parts of the country
are playing an important part in
helping us achieve and maintain
full production and maximum
employment. A steady flow of
ideas is important to our mutual
success"
Under the Estadt process, sew
eral workers can turn out 12
times as many sheets in an eight
hour shift. One Westinghouse Of
ficial commented as follows about
Estadt's idea: Everyone always
assumed thin sheets couldn't be
made by machine. Anyone could
have tried it-but no one ever
did"
An employee of the company's
transmission and generator 'divi-
sion, Mr.. Estadt also has a son,
Francis, who works at the West
inghouse East Pittsburgh plant
A second son, Robert, works at
the nearby Laughlin steel plant.
A son-in-laW, Fred Grommes, is
also an employe of Westinghouse.

Taft To Tour
Every County

Senator Robert A. Taft dis
closed for the first time today he
will tour every one of Ohio's 88
counties this fall in an attempt
to gain reelection in 1850.
In fact, he told news confer
ence:
MY campaign for reelection
already has started l can't spend
as much money as I hear the
CIO-PAC is going to spend in its
attempt to defeat me.
Il understand they will buy a
lot Of radio time and you can be
sure they'll knock me every time.
But I assure you that We'll make
this up by spending more time
campaigning in the state from
now until the 1850 November
election"
The Ohio Republican said his
fall stumping will begin Sept. l
and continue for three months. 1t
will no t be primarily speech
making affair, he said, but rather
an effort to get together with
county organizations He said he
will spend a day in each county.

Buffalo Ben, SO,
Files For Claim

Buffalo Ben, who rode bv the
side of the immortal Buffalo Pill
Cody and secuted for the U, s,
Army in the 1905, last week fill
ed claim for unemployment
compensation at the age of "a
Ben-undoubtedly the oldest
man ever to file a claim under
the Ohio Law-has been SPEND
ing the past several years as a
circus performer.
Ben, who signs his name "Ben
Buffalo, spends the circus "off-
season" in Iroquois, Illinois. He
was legally eligible to file his
claim under Ohio Law because
his most recent employers main
base OF operations was in Ohio.
To Ben, "Custer's Last Stand"
is something more than a term
IN history books. He was scout
ing Indians in the vicinity when
Custer was wiped out at the
famed battle of the Little Big
morn. HIS circus publicity bills
nm as "the last of the old Indian
scouts with Buffalo Bill in 1876''
In addition to his service
against the Indians, Ben secuted
for the British during the Boor
War in South Africa, later ac-
companied the Tommics to India.
He has also served in the Cuban
Army and has toured Europe
with Buffalo Bills Wild West
Show.
Born in southwestern Oregon,
Ben Travelled to the Dakotas
where he met Cody and got in
to the Indian troubles" At 93,
when most people are something
less than energetic, Buffalo Ben
is in no retiring mood. He fully
expects to be working the enter
tainment circuit before the year
is out.

Breeding Groups
Expand Services

Your dictionary won't define
COBA and NOBA, but Ohio
farmers are finding these letter
combinations mean more profit
in their dairy herds.
Reviewing the work of the two
artificial breeding cooperatives
in Ohio for the past year, exten-
sion dairy specialists at Ohio
State University say so percent
or more cows are artificially bred
in l94S than in the previous year.
Activities of these cooperatives
the Northern Ohio Breeders
Association (NOBA) at Tiffin
and the Central Ohio Breeders
Association (COBA) at Column
bus--have spread during 1948
to all but two counties of the
state, Vinton and Gallia. During
the year, they estimate more
than 10000 cows were serviced.
Growth of artificial breeding
practices in the state, the spec
ialists explain, is a direct meas
ure of the success dairymen have
found in using superior breed
ing sires.
Artificial dissemination. it was
pointed out, constitutes the third
phase of long program Of dairy
herd Improvement in the state,
the other phase being breed reg
istry and use of the BabcOck test
and performance records.
Real herd Improvement is now
within the reach Of every dairy
man where his herd be large or
small, since only bulls of proved
ability to sire high-producing
daughters are used. Other ad-
Vantages of the practice cited in
cluded elimination of the hazards
of keeping dangerous bulls on
the farm and reducing the Spread
