Second Set of Indian
Chiefs at Al Camp

Eight All boys and girls helped
govern the second week session of
Delaware State All Camp last
week. These boys and girls were
selected at the first official Council
Circle of the camp, to rule as In
dian Chiefs and their Sycamore
helpers.
At the head of the Alters in the
Susquehanna tribe was Marie
Woerner, Glasgow. Her Sycamore
helper was Donald Pepper, of
Georgetown.
Alvin Huey, Milford, was Chief
of the Delaware tribe, with Doro-
thy Kendall Dover, as his helper.
Milmo Fox, Newark, as Chief,
and Jack Warrington, Harbeson,
as Sycamore, were responsible for
the Cherokee All Indian tribe.
John Field, Newark, was chosen
to lead the Seneca tribe for the
week. Sandra Hufnal, Dover, help
ed him as Seneca Sycamore.
Being Chief or a Sycamore at
4-H Camp helps boys and girls de-
velop self-confidence in leader
ship" says Samuel Gwinn, state
All Club leader. "These two trib-
al leaders are responsible for tribal
organization, carrying out of tribal
duties, and maintaining good camp
spirit. They are chosen by the
state All staff on the basis of their
All records. Training future rural
leaders is an important part of All
Club work, and we're sure that
All Camp helps do just that"

To Wash Or Not
To Wash Eggs?

Eggs will get dirty, but how to
clean them has always been con
troversial question, says ]. Frank
Gordy, poultryman with the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice.
Before deciding to wash or not
to wash your eggs, Gordy points
out the following facts about the
physical characteristics of eggs.
First, the shell is porous. Second,
the egg can feed bacteria and mold.
Third, the inside of the egg, and
the shell, expand and contract with
changing temperatures, developing
pressure or suction that helps air,
water, or other material pass
through the she'll pores.
Handling of eggs should be such
that the movement of bacteria
through the shell is cut to mini
mum. Improper washing can help
both the movement and growth of
spoilage bacteria.
The quality of your eggs is at
stake, if you do decide to wash,
says Gordy Many handlers shy
away from washed eggs, especial
ly for storage purposes. Make it
a rule that if you can't or won't
wash eggs properly, don't do it.
Dry cleaning has fewer dangers.
Here are a few suggestions from
the Extension Service, if you do
wash your eggs.
/ l. Wash only dirty eggs. Eggs
produced clean are the best.
| 2. Clean eggs as soon as poss-
ible.
3. Washing water must not be
warmer than the eggs.
4. Washing water must be clean
Detergents do not kill bacteria
and often leave TesidUes on the
shell.
5. Dry eggs promptly.
6. Get the advice of your county
agent and poultry specialist or
cleaning eggs.
