SPEED COSTS
COUNCIL WARNS
Speed Not Only Endangers
Your Life But Also Hurts
Your POcketbOOk
STRESS SPEED CONTROL

Cut your speed-and cut driving
costs.
Mr.. Robert Kennedy, Vice Presi-
dent for Public Safety of the Del
aware Safety Council said yester-
day that excessive speed not only
endangers your life but also hurts
your pocketbook.
Mr.. Kennedy was discussing the
traffic safety program of the Della
ware Safety Council and the Ma
tional Safety Council. The two
agencies this month are stressing
Speed Control" as their traffic
safety theme.
"At the pocketbook level" Mr..
Kennedy said, driving costs go up
every time you step on the acceler-
ator."
He pointed out that when speed
is increased from 40 to 65 miles
an hour, gasoline costs jump al
most 80 per cent. Costs of oil con-
sumed goes up almost four times
when speed is increased from 40 to
65 miles an hour. At the same
time, the cost of wear and tear on
tires is two and one-half times as
much at the higher speed.
Excessive speed also is costly in
terms of human life," Mr.. Kennedy
warned.
Referring to figures compiled by
the National Safety Council, he
pointed out tnat during 1850 ex-
cessive speed was a factor in one
out of every three fatal accidents
in the United States. Approxim-
ately 10000 persons were killed as
a result of these accidents.
"Speed Kills. Take it Easy is
the traffic safety slogan being ad-
vanced during June by the Della
ware Safety Council and the Ma
tional Safety Council.

Feed Industry Outlet

The livestock feed industry
makes up a large and flexible mar
ket for blackstrap molasses.
Using molasses for livestock
feed has increased, while its use in
industrial alcohol has gone
down sharply in recent years. A
US. Department of Agriculture
study indicates that this trend will
continue.
AS a feed ingredient, molasses in
most years is a cheaper source of
carbohydrates than corn, the study
shows. When molasses is cheap in

HIGHWAY DEPT.
PICNIC AREAS
State Highway Dept. in Coop
Grafton With Grange Create
Two Picnic Areas
BOTH NEAR SMYRNA

The State Highway Department
has announced that two picnic
areas, which the Department has
created with the cooperation of
the Delaware State Grange are ex-
pected to be ready for operation
during the coming weekend. Both
picnic areas are located along the
southbound lane of Route 13, one
being close to the intersection of
the former Smyrna Landing Road,
just north of Smyrna, and the
other at the intersection of the
former Central Church Road, just
south of Garrison's Lake. R. A.
Haber, Chief Engineer of the De-
partment, stated that the Depart
ment has graded the picnic areas
and located containers for the de-
posit of trash on the plots. The
State Grange has provided picnic
tables for the plots and has COM
pleted arrangements for them to
be used by tourists for picnic
lunches. Appropriate signs an
nouncing the approach to the pic
mic areas are being erected along
the highway by the Department.
The picnic areas are off from the
shoulders of the highway and are
shaded by trees in the area as
much as possible. A check will
be maintained by the Department
on the use of these picnic areas by
persons travelling along the high
ways to determine if more of the
plots should be established. Ofic-
ials of the Delaware State Grange
approached the Highway Depart
ment regarding the matter late
last fall and at that time it was
agreed to have these two areas set
up with both the Grange and the
Department entering into ar
agreement to provide for them.

use can be increased in large
amounts, advantageously. In the
few years when molasses is ex-
pensive, its use can be cut.
In addition to its own nutritional
value, molasses is valuable because
it makes much low-grade hay and
other roughage palatable that
might otherwise be wasted. This
adds to the livestock feed supply,
and cuts cost.

LEWES MUSEUM
OPENED JUNE l
Awaanendael Museum Opens
Summer Season With
Special Exhibit
HOURS ANNOUNCED

The Zwaanendael Museum at
Lewes launched its summer season
on Sunday, June 1, featuring a
special exhibit of Colonial articles
recently discovered in the site of
an old 18th century dwelling at
Lewes by the Sussex Archaeological
Association. The summer visiting
hours will be Tuesdays through
Saturday from 10 am. to noon, and
from 1:30 to $50, and on Sunday
from 1890 to $50. While the mu-
scum is normally closed on Mon
days, Miss Catharine C. Maull, cur
ator, kept it open all day on Mon
day, June 2 because of the Memoir
ial Day weekend holidays. The
Colonial objects were picked up on
the foundation of the 18th century
dwelling on the Samuel Russell
Farm off Pilot Town Road. The
curator says: "Mr. C. Malcolm
Watkins, associate curator of Eth
nology at Smithsonian Institution,
Washington, has examined the ma
terial and reports that they date
from about 1880 to around IT'S in
their extremes. The house, no
longer standing, probably did not
remain in existence much after
1850. 1t still has to be determined
wa1o was the first owner and when
It was built, and to this end the
Archaeological Association is con-
Quoting a great deal of historical
research.
First Found on Colonial Site
Among the earliest objects found
is a pale olive-green blown glass
bottle base, typical of the earliest
English wine-bottles from 1880 to
1850. Further evidence of 18th
century occupancy is black glass
button, which DR.. John Without of
the Pennsylvania Historical and
Museum Commission believes to be
the first of this type found on a
colonial site. Others have been
found on Indian Sites up to about
1880, and thought to be trade
goods. Other objects from the Lew
eS Colonial site in the summer eX-
hibit are as follows: A scratch
Blue" salt-glazed stoneware teacuI
of Staffordshire, circa 1740 to 1850
The fragment of what is believed
dubious drinking or puzzle jug, o.
the incurved foot of posset po
or apothecary's jar, the design in
dicating 18th or early 18th century
Parts of a slip-decorated redwar
pudding dish, possibly American
native pottery, A brass containe
lined with blown glass, stampe,
Brooks, possibly imported from
England around 1850. Fragment o
a cows horn solidly packed wit
rusted nails, probably a builder
ntensil. In Colonial hady horn
were widely used as containers an,
holders.
Believes House Destroyed in 167
Orville H. Peets, editor of tn
associations publication, The Arch
aelog, believes the old house sit
may be connected with the burnin;
of Lewes in 1878, as a lot of char
coal, wood ashes and pieces of NOR
tar were found under section o
the foundation, the latter seemin
older than that which covered tn
footing. This would seem to in
dicate that an earlier house ha
been burned at this place. H
says: 1--WE know beyond questio
that the house was on the land G
one Hermanus Wiltbanck, but W
have no proof yet that the hous
was his" The name Wiltbanck-
or Wiltbank, appears in old rec
ords frequently among the earlies
landowners of colonial Lewes.

there is progressive recession
from the idea of rigid segregation.
Prof. Walker said the ideas
that rationalized slavery still are
present in American society. This
was described as the arbitrary
ranking of people, whereby one
group is superior and the other
inferior.
He contended that the func-
ton Of segregation is. at the OUT
set, to impress upon the Negro
child his inferiority. and to limit
competition for jobs and housing
by confining the Negro to certain
areas where he will not compete
with white people.
He declared that groups de-
Tending segregation are seeing
the ground cut out from under
them" and finding it increasingly
difficult to defend their stand.

Blackened Window Frames

QUESTION: We are building a
new home. The windows were in
stalled without paint or varnish,
and from the steam and ice that
formed on the windows during the
winter, the framework around the
windows is turning dark and there
are some black streaks. I would
like to keep them light, as intend
to varnish. What could use to re-
store the natural wood color?
Would a wood bleach remove the
stain?
ANSWER: If there are any signs
Of decay, you should sandpaper it
down to clean wood. The wood
bleach would take out the black
discoloration, but it would also
take the natural color out of the
wood. If you Go not object to this,
you can use the wood bleach. The
varnish will give some color to the
wood, of course. You will probably
need to smooth the wood with
sandpaper (dusting off afterward)
IN some places. You can make an
inexpensive bleach with oxalic
acid (poison!), dissolving as much
of this in hot water or denatured
alcohol as given quantity of the
liquid will absorb. water solution
should be applied hot.) Apply this
on the wood literally and let it
stand all night. Then rinse well
next day, several times. Let the
wood dry thoroughly before var
nishing. Spar varnish would oe
