could tap the audience the movies

There are plenty Of "ifs" in the
future of this method of distrib-
uting motion pictures by TV, with
the viewer paying a 81 fee for the

that the FEC may never permit

Mr.. McDonald's rosy mathe-

movie-makers, though. He writes
that "disregarding the first week,
we have maintained an average
attendance of 1.8 times per week
per family. Projecting this against
the 10 million television receivers
presently in use would indicate a
producers income of $468 million
annually" (The split is half to

Discounting the first week to
lessen the effect of novelty, the

of 26 per cent of the possible audi

More Vitamin BIZ,
Faster

Delaware farmers, and farmers
all over the United States, will
probably find Vitamin BIZ cheaper
in another year or so, according to
the Animal and Poultry Industry
Department at the University OF
Delaware.
The vitamin is important in live
/ stock raising, particularly as q
feed supplement for young chick.
ems and pigs. BIZ makes them
grow to market weight faster, with
less feed.
Until recently. the vitamin has
been supplied by feeding meat and
fish meals. Now U. S. Department
of Agriculture scientists have dis
covered organisms which produce
the vitamin by fermenting the ma
teTial in which they grow. One in
particular, a fold found i'm a soil
sample from Japan, produces good
quantities of Vitamin BIZ, and
does so in a shorter time than
present methods.
The organism, known to scien-
lists as StreptOmyces olivaceous
CWaksman), is related to those
which produce anti-biotics such as
streptomycin and aureOmycin,s now
widely used in medicine.

DeLGIVGre Motorists Hike
Gas Tab By Six Million

Impatience, negligence and in.
comprehensive three cardinal
sins of the gasoline wastrel-are
costing Delaware motorists more
than $6,000,00O annually or about
$6S for each vehicle owner. accord
ing to a recently published study
by one of Americas tOpflight an
tomOtiVe engineers.
After series of controlled mile
age tests lasting more than a wear
Delmar G.. ROos, former president
of the Society of AutOmotive En-
gineers, has concluded that the av-
erage motOrist gets less than half
the motoring miles he should out
of a gallon of gasoline.
The primary causes of gasoline
wastage says Mr. RoOs, who is also
vice president of Willys-Overland
Motors, are speed, mechanical neg
ligence and sloppy driving habits.
Speed alone cuts mileage almost
in half" Mr. ROOs says. ''In rigid
ly controlled tests over a measured
mile, a Willy station wagon con-
sistently Avergaed 81 miles per gal
Ion at 80 miles an hour. However.
at go miles an hour, mileage was
cut considerably.
Heading list of mechanical sins
Jumped in Mr.. ROos' study under
negligence" are faulty spark set
tings, cylinder compression and
tire pressures. Each of these fac
tors cuts gasoline efficiency be-
tween three and six per cent-and
costs the mOtOrist between one and
two cents extra for each mile he
drives.
Tire pressure is a good ex-
ample of the high price of care
lessness," Mr.. ROOs says. when
tire pressures were four pounds
lower than they should be, the sta
tion wagon averaged one mile less
per gallon of gas. At average gas
oline prices this bit of carelessness
alone would cost the mOtorist more
than a penny a mile.
Other common mechanical faults
affecting fuel mileage are dirty air
filters, dragging brakes and i'm
proper wheel alignment.
AS for driving habits" Mr.. Roos
declares, "the two worst gas was
ters-outside of habitual speeding
are jack rabbit starts and quick
stops. Violent pressures on the
acceleratOr squirt gasoline into the
cylinders faster than it can be
used efficiently, while sudden stops
waste momentum already built up
by expended fuel in addition to
wearing out brake Innings"

The county is estimated to have
100000 acres in woods. A conser-
yation figure on growth production
has been set at three-quarters OF
a cord per acre each year. If this
growth were sold merely for pulp
wood at $3.50 per cord, the produc-
tion comes startlingly close to a
half-million dollars per annum
Actually, timber for saw logs, mine
drops and pilings is worth four to
ten times as much as pulpwood,
and the local markets exist. No
wonder district soil conservation
directors placed forest manage
ment second only to the universal
drainage problem!
This potential stands to be split
many ways when the industry ma
lures in the region. The woodlands
are in possession of several thou
sand owners holding about 100
acres apiece. Only a comparative
few have even begun to realize
their values. No one wants tC crowd
the industry along. anyway. Some
day, it may have even greater re-
serve significance.
Meanwhile, several crews of
young men have found a good liv-
ing in Sussex County timber. With
the district forester acting as cut
ting supervisor and clearing agency
for market information, they've
been doing all right. For the past
two years they've cut and hauled
steadily for mining operations in
Pennsylvania, for pile treating
plants in New York and for paper
companies in Maryland.
District forester Hutchinson fig
ures that crews working through
him have averaged marketing each
week, z loads of piling, 2 carloads
Of saw logs and 100 tons of mine
props, since l948. That's about $500
worth every work week.
In addition there's been an un-
estimated amount of excelsior, pole
and pulpwOod harvested. All in all,
1t indicates a good beginning for a
young enterprise Other indica-
tions are the growing number of
young men who ask the forester's
help in getting started in the woods.
Requests for woodland advice
comes from all sides. Since the
average farmer has only a hazy
notion of the value of timber, in
formation from the forester has
often worked toward fairer prices
all around. But Hutchinson and
