he said. What can motorists do to
insure their own piece of mind in
the face of this unpredictable con-
duct of children? The Delaware
Safety Council makes these sug-
gestions for motorists:
1. Watch out for zones where
children might be expected-resi-
Dental areas, school zones, play
grounds, athletic fields, vacant lots.
2. Keep an eye open for children
on tricycles, roller skates, scooters,
coaster wagons.
8. Use your brakes and not your
horn when you see children in po-
tentially dangerous positions. Chill
dren panic easily.
4. Always remember that chill
dren are unpredictable. Neither
you-nor they-know exactly what
they will do.

great many employees will have

as soon as they have paid $50 after
April /. This means that many
people who are now IS win have
enough employment after 1850 to
have their old-age insurance fig
ured under the new formula. Bene-
fit payments to a retired worker
will range from $40 to $50 month
ly. Monthly benefits to a retired
worker and his wife would range
from $50 to $120 monthly. Be
cause these benefits are based on
the amounts reported by employ

The kind" of pattern is also i'm
portant. Patterns are listed as
girls, teen ayers, junior misses,
and misses. Girls patterns are in
sizes six to IA, and designed for
undeveloped figures. Waist and hip
sizes are about. the same; the
waist is longer than the back, and
there are no bust darts
Teen age patterns are in sizes 10
to 16. Allowances are made for a
simmer waist and small bust.
Junior miss patterns are in sizes
nine to IL. They are for fully de-
veloped figures, with an average
height of 5 feet, 5 inches.
Misses patterns are in sizes IL
to 20. They are for fully develop
ed figures, with an average height
of 5 feet, z inches.
Measurements and type of pat
tern are the keys to easier dress

Veneers in Good Supply
For High Quality Furniture
Homemakers, taking advantages

Homemakers, taking advantages
Of the relaxed credit terms on
furniture, television and radio
receivers, are finding a broad
selection in all types of home
furnishings.
Supplies of hardwood plywood
and face veneers for making high
quality furniture are sufficient,
say industry spokesmen, to main
tain ample inventories even with
increased consumer demand,
while also meeting military re-
quirements for these materials.
Under the new, easier credit
terms, the time allowed for COM
pIeting inStallment contracts for
furniture, television and radio sets
is extended from Is to 18 months.
AS a result, the amount of the
purchasers monthly payment is
reduced by approximately is per
cent. The down payment required
on furniture is unchanged from
Is per cent, but for televiSion and
radio sets the amount which must
be paid down has been reduced
from 25 per cent to Is per cent.
Meanwhile, n furniture stocks
never were more ample or more
varied. American Provincial lines,
well scaled and in the mood of
today's informal living, are fea-
tured in handsome hardwood
veneers. Traditional 18th Century
designs in new natural and light
colored veneers also offer built-in
utility.
Television receivers are avail
able in a wide variety of distinc-
tive veneers, making it easy for
the homemaker to select a set
which blends in with furniture
already in the room.
The influence of television is
reflected in new furniture de-
signed for mobility. For instance,
wheel-like castors concealed by
low 0Skirted bases will be found
on some chests of drawers.

HIGH SCORER
TO GET MEDAL
College and High School Stu
dents Invited to Compete in
State-Wid Contest
NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Delaware high school and college
students who excel in Spanish will
this spring be given opportunity to
receive national recognition of that
fact. Spanish students from all
Delaware schools and colleges are
invited to participate in the State
wide contest to be held at Newark
on the University campus on May
10th. Not only will the high-scor-
ing high school senior who plans to
enter the University of Delaware
next fall receive the one hundred
dollar scholarship awarded annual
ly through the University's Modern
Language Department, but the
highest scoring entrant from each
school will receive a handsome
bronze medal offered by the Del
aware Chapter of the American AS
sociation of Teachers of Spanish
and Portuguese, and that fact will
be recorded in Hispania, official
publication of the national associa-
ton. This medal, suitable as a
watch-charm or pendant, is award
ed annually to outstanding stud
ents by the forty-six chapters of
AIATSP throughout the United
States. The diverse bears a repre-
sentation of the three caravels of
Columbus, while the reverse car
ries the seal and name of the As
sociation together with the legend
"for excellence in Spanish" and
space for the name of the recipient.
Next fall will mark the third year
in which the University has offered
a scholarship in Spanish, together
with similar awards in French and
German. The present holder of this
scholarship is Miss Virginia Ben
ator, a graduate of Wilmington
High School. High School stu
dents of German who plan to enter
the University next fall will on the
same date participate in contest
conducted by the University Ger
man staff to determine the winner
of next years scholarship in Ger
man. In the case of this second
contest prizes will not be distribut-
ed on the basis of individual
schools, and judges reserve the
right to make no award in case the
evidence of achievement falls be-

Mixed Furniture
Creating New Style

Displays at recent furniture
shows reflect a growing tendency
among homemakers to mix fur
niture of different periods rather
than to adhere strictly to either
traditional or contemporary
design, and leaders in the in
dustry believe the trend fore
casts a new style in home decora-
ton.
Blending of mixed periods is
encouraged by the current vogue
for medium coloring in tradi-
tional as we'll as modern furniture
styles. Most modern pieces are be-
ing produced in medium rather
than pale colors, while traditional
is being featured in lighter wood
tones than formerly. The similar
ity of color tones makes it pos
sible to use tables, chests, chairs
and other pieces in the same
room even though they are of
unrelated styling. @
Modern hardwood veneer fur
niture which brings out the full
beauty of the wood grain also
facilitates the mixing of furniture
of contemporary and traditional
design. Curved shapes are pos,
sible with plywood and hardwood
veneer, giving the designer
greater freedom in furniture
styling. Another design factor is
that veneer matching has been
perfected to the point where al
most any desired effect in wood
pattern can be achieved.
This permits virtually un-
limited selection in design, color
tones and wood patterns,S ,Smaking
it easy to find pieces of different
periods which look we'll together.

Market Analysis
Made for Virginia
Lambs, Veal, Hogs
~ The. A,,seiai.a Pes.

BLACKSBURG, Va, Mar. 29.-
A recent analysis Of State live
stock auction markets showed
lamb prices averaged 81 cents per
100 pounds higher in the valley
than in Southwestern Virginia.
The market analysis was COM
pleted by Jack johnson, agricul-
tural economist at VPI. His in
formation was obtained from
1950-51 reports submitted by Sc
lected livestock auction markets.
MFR. johnson also found that
most lambs arrived at Virginia
markets when prices were lower
than those offered by out-of- State
markets. Sometimes, Virginia
market prices for lambs were 81
per 100 pounds lower than those
in Chicago.
The analysis showed the peak
prices for graded spring lambs
was reached at 10 State markets
during the last part Of May and
early June and again In Sep
tember.
Price Gap Widens.
Five Of the markets were In the
valley and northern sections Of
the State and the other five were
in Southwestern Virginia.
johnson also found the price
gap between the two top grades
of lambs widened as the season
progressed.
Generally, IS per cent Of all
lambs sold were marketed during
June. July and August.
Most Of the veal calves sold
through Virginia auctions were
sent to market in May, June and
october. During these months.
SO per cent sold in 1850 were auc-
toned.
Six Months Market.
About IS per cent Of all veal
calves sold are placed on the auc-
ton block during the six-month
period May to October.
Cattle receipts at the auctions
were greatest during the four
month period, August through No
vember when more than As per
cent Of all cattle sold were sent
to market. The top two months
for cattle receipts were October
and November. Mr.. johnson said.
Most Of the hogs sold at auction
were marketed during March.
April, May, october and Novem-
ber, the analysis showed.
Although Virginia producers
sold approximately 12.500 head Of
livestock through the terminal
market ut Lancaster, Pa, in 1851.
more than 30 per cent Of this vol
ume was cattle. Few hogs were

A sun porch is ideal. or q large

and then may be taken OUT OF

The Potting Mixture.
Mr.. Steiner has developed
through experiment q soil in
which the cymbidiums thrive. His
formula Is four parts hardwood
leafmold. two parts rotted COW
manure. one part composted sod
Of sandy loan origin. one-halt
part of coarse sharp sand, one
half part Of granular charcoal and
one part Of washed pea gravel
three-eights to one-half. inch
mesh.
when all Of the ingredients
are well Mixed" Mr.. Steiner said,
''the result is an excellent pot
ting medium of relatively small
cost. # seedlings or back-bulh
propogations are started in this
mixture. they may easily be
shifted to larger pots as growth
occurs without any disturbance to
the roots"
Society Is Helpful.
He explained that cymbidiums
are resistant to most insects and
diseases. Some, however, should
be guarded against. like smile
|molds. red spider. soft scale,
Snails, slugs and earthworms.
Mr.. Steiner. q member OF the
National Capital Orchid Society,
said that members Of the society
are always glad to answer ques-
tions pertaining to the growing of
orchids. Those who wish further
information. he said. should get
In touch with the society.
1T is my belief" he said, "that
cymbidiums will most nearly
qualify as an ideal plant for those
who want q few orchids but do
not have a greenhouse. Certainly,
few orchid plants give the return
in flowers that this species does
and few offer more attractive
foliage. Greenhouse and window
gardeners alike should know the
joys Of Towering the majestic
cymbidium."
