Huskies, Beavers Are Playing Today

SEATTLE, Nov. 3-tR-The 3 Uni versity of Washington Huskies meet the Oregon State College Beaver here today in a Pacific Coast con- ference battle of faded hope.
 Neither team is in the running for Rose Bowl honors and the match is strictly one to see which can break it's losing streak-each has dropped three straight. Washington is fav- ored by 10 points, presumably be- cause it has lost its games by nar- rower margins to stronger rated elevens.
 The weatherman promised rain by tonight, probably holding off through the game. However, rain starting falling in Seattle shortly after midnight. The kickoff is set for l30 pm, PSF.

Alaska Miners Can Use Help, SaareIa Says

The importance of aiding the Al. askan miner was stressed by LeC H. Saarela, commissioner of mines upon his return from Fairbanks where he attended the antitrust trials of the Interior coal operat- ors.
 Saarela said that most miners al the meeting of the Alaska Miners Association, which he also attended felt that some effort should be made by the federal government to encourage Alaskan producers of strategic metals and ores.
 The Miners association passed a resolution to investigate what might be done to aid in the reestablish- ment of base metals purchasing de- pots in the Territory.
 Various programs that are be- ing carried out by government agen- cies are helpful but as there is no Alaskan program of taking the pro- duct off the producers hands, there is little incentive to mine," Saar- ella stated.
 Miners Busy
 The mines commissioners said that most miners are too busy trying to make a living to bother with the marketing of a base metal or strate- gic mineral. He said it should be up to the government to encourage these individuals by paying them on the spot for their efforts.
 After all, he said. that is what made the gold mining attractive in the early days and there was nc marketing problem"
 Saarela reports an adequate SUD- ply of coal is now available in the Panama Valley region and that the consumer market there is in good condition. But he says the operators in the Matanuska area are being hard pressed to fill the needs of the rapidly expanding Anchorage area.
 He emphasized the needs at AL aska coal mines for an extensive safety instruction program. A study is being made which may begin program of safety and first aid by the Department of Mines.
 Saarela gave credit to unidh safe ty committee inspections at mine properties for the excellent safety record of the past several years.

nineteen days, the eggs hatch.
For their young and for them
selves, the adult Nighthawks catch
insects-hundreds of them. This,
says the National Wildlife Fedora
tion, is why the Nighthawks are
among the most valuable of all our
birds. They have an enormous
appetite for many of the insects
which are most troublesome to
man. Among their favorites are
winged ants, grasshoppers, mos
quitoes, potato beetles, and boil
weevils.
Another pleasing thing about the
Eastern Nighthawk is its graceful
appearance when flying. In the

Delaware All Girl
VIII Go To Germany

Helen Samendinger, 10, Newark,
DeIaware's International Farm
Youth Exchange delegate, will go
to Germany.
This was announced this week
by Miss M. Jean Lee, state All
Club specialist, after receiving
word from the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service in Washington, D. c.,
where the assignments were made.
Said Miss Lee, "Helen will be
able to take much to German boys
and girls. She has had home econ
omics training in high school and
at home. She helps at home, Fox
den Farms, with the livestock, and
has always carried animal projects
in 4-H Club work. She is now a
sophomore at the University of
Delaware, majoring in agricul-
ture."
Helen plans to buy a camera
early, so that she can take colored
slides in Delaware to take to Ger
many, and to take pictures in Ger
many to bring back to Delaware.
:. Two young people from foreign
countries will visit in Delaware
while Helen is visiting Germany.
They will be staying in different
farm homes for periods of two or
three weeks. Families interested in
being hosts to one of these young
people should contact George M.
worrilow, director of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service and Ex-
pertinent Station, University of
Delaware, Newark.

NIGHTHAWK A
FRIEND TO MAN
Most Valuable of Birds Lives
on Insects Most Trouble

APPETITE ENORMOUS

Some birds take great pains in
building their nests, but that is
not true of the Eastern Night
hawk. When it comes time for lay
ing eggs, the Nighthawk simply
looks for a clear, fiat spot that is
out of harms way. 1t may be a
level roof in the business district
of a city, or it may be far out in
the country-in a pasture or on a
large fiat rock in the hills.
Once the place is chosen, the
Nighthawk does not gather so
much as a sprig of grass or a tuft
of moss for a nest. Two small
eggs are laid, and for a little more
than two weeks they are tended by

stiff feathers on its wings. The
only other sound from the East
ern Nighthawk is its call. 1t is a
quick, sharp note which seems to
say, Peentl Peent! Peent-"
So it isn't a musical bird, and
neither is it a gaily feathered one.
The male, on its upper parts. is a
speckled mixture of black, gray,
and brown, with a white band
across the tip of the tail feathers.
Underneath, there is white band
across the throat, and below that
the feathers are a combination of
black and gray. When the bird is
flying, a band of white can be seen
across the wings, near the tips.
The female is much the same in
appearance, but it has not white in
the tail, and its throat band is a
shade darker. Both the male and
the female measure about ten
inches in length.
! For catching its prey, the Night
hawk has a short bill and wide
gaping mouth. With this efficient
trap, it seizes the destructive in
spects upon which it feeds.
The helpful bird makes its sum-
mer home chiefly in the eastern
part of North America, from Flor
ida to Labrador, but it is some
times seen farther west, too. 1t
spends the winter below the United
States, in Mexico and points South.
North or south, the Eastern
Nighthawk is a useful bird in keep
ing down harmful insects. And
though not decked out in oolorful
feathers, he puts on aerial per-
formances that always catch the
eye.
Interesting information about
other species can be obtained by
writing to the National Wildlife
Federation, Washington, D. C.

Livestock Cleanup

Call for a Delaware farm clean
up week" to begin Monday, April
2, was issued this week by the
American Foundation for Animal
Health.
Theme of this years cleanup is:
"Clean UP for more profits through
fewer livestock disease losses"
Here are some farm pointers
suggested by the Foundation:
1. Buildings in which livestock
and poultry are housed should be
cleaned and disinfected to kill dis
ease germs and parasites.
2. Mud holes and stagnant ponds
should either be drained or fenced
off.
8. Old strawstacks, common
sources of infection, should be
spread and plowed under.
4. Holes in foundations, where
pigs or poultry could burrow
should be failed up.
5. Nails, glass, wire and Other
objects which cattle might swallow
or step on, should be picked up
Protruding nails in managers OF
partitions should be removed.
| 6. AS soon as possible, young
livestock should be moved to pas
ture that hasn't been used by the
same species for two years.
Authorities estimate that anima
loss from common barnyard dis
eases and parasites is more thar
half a billion dollars.
"Much of this loss could be pre-.
vented by proper sanitation ant
disease-prevention measures" the
Foundation said. Cooperation o.
farmers, veterinarians and all live
stock health authorities is urged
in this annual cleanup starting
April O."

O-How should L go about re-
moving the paint from an oio
chest?
A-A hand scraper and sand
paper can be used, but care must
be taken not to let the corner OF
the scraper gouge into the wood.
Q-I plan to re-roof my home
and have been told by my roofer
that the new roofing material can
be laid over the present roof. Is
this practice recommended.
Ayes, there are definite ad-
vantages to laying a new material,
such as fire resistant asphalt shin
giles, over your present roof. First,
you gain the rigidity and added
Insulation value of a double roof.
You also save the cost of remov-=
ing the old roof and are spared
considerable dirt both inside and
outside the house. The old roof
should be prepared for the new
covering by mailing down loose
shingles and replacing any that
are missing. When laying asphalt
shingles over an old wood shin
gle roof, nail feathering strips
slightly beveled strips of wood
along the butts of the old shingles
to provide a smooth, even surface.
OIL would like to know how
to repair a kitchen chair which
has become loose at the joints.
A-The best method is to take
the chair apart and clean out all
the old glue. Then use a good
quality liquid glue, household ce-
ment or liquid solder when the
chair is reassembled. Both parts
of a joint should be coated.
