Radio Really Used
In North

YELLOWKNIKE, N. w. T. -
H)-This is the country where radio
men deliver babies by remote con-
troll, and bears may be shot from
the window of the transmitter
station. Atthe big $4,000 watt sta
ton of he Canadian Army Signal
Corps at YellOwknife, key station
in the army's northern network,
they hardly bother mentioning hap
penings such as these. It's old stuff
for northern radio men.
The radio network is called upon
to turn it's skilled hands to every
thing from delivering messages to
delivering babies. Among it's i'm
pOrtant tasks is daily report on
weather conditions in the Macken-
zie river valley, the cradle" of the
North American weather. This re-
port is relayed to Washington, D.
c., where it is a key factor in maxi
ing up continental forecasts.
Radio reception in the north
country is exceptional the army
men reported. On one occasion they
had a complaint from Phila., be-
cause a small set used here was in
terfering with Phila., police radio.
The transmission travelled a couple
of thousand miles in spite of the
fact it was not supposed to be pow
erful enough to be heard over the
horizon.

Dairyman Beware Of
Onion Flavor In Milk

Extra precautions are now nee
essary to prevent onion flavor in
milk" according to Delmar J..
Young, extension dairyman at the
University of Delaware. Wild on
ions and garlic have started new
growth in Overgrazed pastures.
"On inspecting Delaware pas
lures in late September, we found
that onions were more prevalent in
pastures that were not fortified,
were Overgrazed, or had thin
stands of palatable grasses" said
Mr. Young. There was little evil
dence of onions on well fortified
pastures that had a variety of clo-
yer and good pasture grasses.
For immediate protection Mr..
Young advises that the COWS be re-
moved from pasture three or four
hours before milking, and that a
good quality hay be fed during this
period. To make sure this method
is effective, it's best to check all
cans of milk before they leave the
farm.
A long time protection for this
Off-davor milk is to develop pas
lures with thick stands Of desir-
able pasture plants, Craze and clip
according to plan, and feed the
pasture with fertilizer. Good pas
lures will protect year-round milk
quality.

Boredom

LOS ANGLES - up - Frank L.
Carlson conquered wartime bore
dom with a hobby. Now the hobby
threatens to conquer him. A com
mercial artist, Carlson spent his
spare time as a World War II CT
decorating the envelopes he mailed
home. He began with a series of
cartoons to his wife and followed
with rose decorations, domestic
scenes and special birthday and
Christmas illustrations.
Then he discovered that his hob
by was d recognized one. There's
even a magazine for enthusiasts.
The word got around an soon Carl
son was besieged by requests for
decorated envelopes. Since the war
he's begun an ambitious project
drawing the emblems of the squa-
drOns Of the wartime air force on
letters. He's made 100 so far, and
accompanies each with an appro-
pirate pOstmark. One, for example,
is picture of Uncle Sam riding a
bolt Of lightning with postmarks
from Goodman, Wis, and Topmost,
Ky.
Carlson sys he now has hundreds
of fans bowling for his letters and
has to work nights to keep up with
demand. There's no money in it,
but at least he's no longer bored.

Ground Observers
Crews To Train

Training exercises for tn e
Ground Observer Corps, civilian
volunteer auxiliary for the CONT
mental defense of the United States,
will take place on November 4 and
5, Headquarters of the Eastern Air
Defense Force announced Monday,
October Is.
The area of the Eastern Air De-
tense Force lies east of the 1O3rd
meridian along the eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains, although
the geographical extent of the OBJ
server training will be governed
by the number of observation posts
which will be stated and equipped
by October 20.
Stated and equipped" means
that post haas been physically es-
tablished, that sufficient volunteer
observers are available to man it,
and that telephone is within Is
seconds reach. EADF wants 610O
such locations with 152,50O observ-
ers.
THAT is the target EADF said,
although we realize that it has
not been sufficiently attained for
us to work all post locations in
the forthcoming exercise. For
those posts that have enough per
sonnet and the necessary tele-
phone communications we believe
the proposed training will be most
helpful for observers to appraise
themselves and for us to gauge the
speed and accuracy of that por-
ton of the observer structure
which is already in existence"
Location of posts is agreed upon
between the Air Force and the gu.
bernatOrial designee of each state
and under state civil defense au.
thOrities locally appointed super.
visors undertake recruiting of the
men and women volunteers as OBJ.
servers for each post. Observer

Blue Hen Post Will
Aid SpOtting Program

Announcement has. been made
that civic minded citidens of the
Milford area will participate, as
aircraft spoilers" in the. nation
wide "alert" scheduled for Nov. 4
and 9Th. On each of these two days
an observation post will be manned
at the Milford Air Park and opera
tons will be pretty much on the
same basis as would prevail in the
event of a national emergency.
Some twenty members of Blue
Hen Post No. 6483, v. F. w. of Mil
ford, have already volunteered 10
serve as spoilers during the Nov. A.
5 alert. This group will be suppli-
mented by volunteers from other
local groups According to David s..
Hugg, chief observer for the Mil
ford area, the Milford post will be
manned from 8 a. m. to 6 D. m. on
these dates, and every effort will
be made to cut the "shifts" to a
minimum with at least two "spot-
ters" on duty each shift
The procedure to be followed on
the Nov. As alert is similar to that
followed during World War II when
other air spotting posts were main
tanned in this area. However in
these alerts, no effort will be made
to identify the make or type of
plane although all flights will be
made to identify the make or type
reported. When planes are detected
by local "spOtters," such flights
will be Immediately reported by
telephone to a filter center in Bal
timOre where the planes course will
be charted and reported to air de-
Tense installations and units. All
spoilers" will, of course, be ORR
ented as to their duties prior to
start Of each shift.
The present ground observer
crops is on a standby basis with
alerts tentatively scheduled at
three months intervals. The corps
is under supervision of the Army
Air Forces and ground observation
is considered a vital and important
part Of the nations Civilian Defense
program.
The office at the Milford Air
Park is the present choice for the
Milford observation post, Willard
Jackson, operator of the local air
field, having volunteered use of the
facilities there for the Nov. As a.
lert.
Local residents interested in par
ticipating in this important phase
of Civilian Defense are being adj
vised to call Milford 1851 for in
formation as to how they can be of
service.

County III. D. Agent
Gives Easy Ironing Tips

1t isn't necessary to iron every
thing, says Maybelle Long, home
demonstration agent in Sussex
County. Give yourself a break,
homemakera." commented Mrs.
Long, land try a few ironing
shortcuts and energy savers" In
many homes, the ironing of sheets,
dish towels, and a lot of the family
underwear is considered unneces-
sary.
But that isn't all. Homemakers
should consider other items. For
instance, laundry basket buying
Think of the weekly wash when
you choose family clothes. Not Just
the color fastness, but fabric tex
ture.. Choose such fabrics as jer-
sey, seersucker, and corduroy for
children's clothes. When nylon fits
the purpose, choose it. Nylon is
found in many things besides hosie-
ry now-children's rompers, blous-
es, mems shirts, underwear, and
curtains. It's worth the extra cost.
says Mrs. Long.
Good equipment helps, too. A
lightweight iron, firm ironing
board, and a high chair will paw
for themselves over the years in
terms of time and energy saved.
Sitting down to iron cuts down ia
tigue more than most people think.
Give it fair trial, it takes time to
get used to sit-down ironing and
too many women think it is awk-
ward until they've stuck to it for
few weeks.
A chair for ironing does not have
to be a specially designed posture
chair. 1t should have a back that
gives support, and the seat should
be just low enough so that your
feet reach the floor easily. Com
Portable shoes are another essen
tial item of ironing equipment.
The dividends will be a better
disposition, a smile at the end of
the day, and a saving on time and
energy.

POSITIVE PROTESTANTISM by

minister Press, Philadelphia. $3.50.
1t was because of what the Re
formers believed, and not what
they denied, that Professionalism
came into being" The book calls
for a straightforward uneQuivo-
cal proclamation Of the gospel"
This means setting forth the essen
tials of our historic faith. This
means going beyond just attacking
the evils of our time. The gospel
is good news about a Person: the
revelation of God in history and
Christ. The gladstone note needs
once again to be the dominant
theme Of preaching, and the mess
age should assure full salvation.
Evangelism is a divine imperative.
and life in Christ is triumphant.
This book is powerful reading for

MONK IN ARMOUR by Gladys
H. Barr. Abingdon-Co kesbury
Press, Nashville. SO. A novel based
on the life of Martin Luther. It
reads almost like biography. Just
recently many writings have dealt
with the great Reformer, and this
work is among the best. It thrills
with the recital of courage and
conviction and conservation. "If we
would always pause when we get
badly frightened, remembering that
God is a mighty fortress in the
storms and prosecutions, the trou-
bles of this life!" Today Protest
ants throughout the world sing: "A
Mighty Fortress Is Our God" The
book is a timely contribution to
the crusade for truth and freedom.
