fered by the Extension Division
of the University of Delaware,
October 10 to November IA, in
the Tower Hill School Auditorium.
Co-sponsor for the program,
which will have its first meeting
at 500 pm. on Monday, october
10, is the Department of Econ
smics and Business Administra-
ton at the university.
The October 10 meeting will be
conducted by Fred T. ODonnell,

Financial Records"
Subsequent speakers will in
clude Alton S. Hills, vice presi-
dent of the Farmers Bank of Del

-er of Braunsteins, Inc; Paul Day,

r. Price, operating manager of
the John Wanamaker Store; Sam
Eisenstat, executive vice president
of Kennard Pyle Company; How
ard A. Miller, vice president of
Miller Brothers Company; and
Morton E. Evans, attorney-at-law.
The small retailer is essentially
a local businessman buying and
selling merchandise. He is likely
to own substantial part, if not
all, of the enterprise for which
he is responsible.
The small retailer represents the
largest group of enterprisers in
the United States. Unfortunately,
he also represents about SO per
cent of retail business failures
from year to year. BY undertake
ing this course, the University of
Delaware is trying to assist the
small businessman to become a
more successful and, therefore,
more permanent part of our econ
omic life. The speakers are men
who are well qualified to discuss
the topics assigned to them. 1t is
expected that a substantial part
of each session will be devoted to
an exchange of ideas by those
present through questions and dis
cussion.
Season tickets or tickets for
individual lectures may be secur-

The Woodland Beach Wildlife
Area consisting of 1000 acres of
marsh land, is located along the
shore of Delaware Bay between
the mouth of the Smyrna River
on the north, and the community
of Woodland Beach on the south.
Headquarters for the area may
be reached by driving toward
Woodland Beach from Smyrna on
Route 6 for approximately five
miles and then turning north to-
wards Fleming's Landing for one
mile. Athony Florio, District
Wildlife Manager for the Com
mission, is stationed at the head
quarters.
Duck hunters are advised that
the area is difficult to hunt. Dur
| ing part of each day the marsh
goes almost completely dry for a
one or two hour period; also, dur
ing stormy weather portions of
the marsh are directly exposed to
strong winds and currents. All
hunters who wish to hunt this
area should be equipped with sea-
worthy boats and outboard mot
ors.
Personnel of the Commission
will be available to show new

Metal Roofing Lasts Longer
With Good Care

Metal roofs on many farm
buildings are proving how durable
this type of roof can be. The
lifetime of these roofs can be
greatly increased by knowing how
to select the roofing, how to put
it on, and ways to preserve the
metal. County Agent George
Vapaa gives a few points on ap-
plying the material.
Screw-type nails have proved
preferable to smooth-shank nails
for fastening metal sheets secure
ly to roof sheating. Sheet metal
screws have been used satisfac-
torily to fasten sheets together
where the wood structure did not
hold nails. A No. IL half-inch
galvanized screw-nail was also
satisfactory, since it fills old nail
holes.
Asbestos wicking has been found
to be a good material for gaskets
in the sheet laps, but not more
than two strands should be used
or the sheets may be spread apart
too far.
Galvanized roofing should be
painted as soon as the galvaniz-
ing or zinc coating begins to
break down. Painting at this
stage takes less labor and much
less paint than after the roof be-
gins to rust.
For the paint to stick on we'll
and for maximum coverage, it
must be put on in warm weather.
Sheets must be dry and free from
dust and dirt. If rusted, the
sheets can be cleaned with a wire
brush to remove loose particles
and scale. First, paint all rusted
spots and allow to dry before ap-
plying a coat over the entire roof.
Wire brushing is not necessary if
the paint is applied with spray
gun, but the roof should be swept

T hreot to the City

That the consequences Of transit
strike in Washington would be extremely
serious is an underStatement. Yet the
community is just beginning to awaken
to the fact that contract negotiations
between the Capital Transit Company
and it's employees have reached an impaSse
that threatens to erupt into paralyzing
and costly walkout on about July /.
Any prolonged interruption of mass
transportation in Washington would
gravely affect Government operations
and private business, to say nothing Of
the inconvenience to citizens generally.
las Senator Morse told Senate District
subcommittee, strike could "tie up this
city tighter than knot" Senator Morse
and the subcommittee are justified in
their concern over the situation and in
their determination to use their best
efforts to forestall any interruption of
transit operations. With only a few days
remaining before the present contract
expires, the time for settlement of the
wage and fringe benefits dispute is
alarmingly short. And the time to avert
the calamity of city-wide transportation
strike is right now-not after it occurs.
In view of the implications, Federal
authorities, business interests and every
one else who would be hit by a collapse
of streetcar and bus services ought to be
considering the on1inous problem. Fed
eral conciliators already are trying to
bring the two sides together. However
hopeless the task may seem to be, no
effort should be spared to prevent a strike
and its damaging effects on this COM
munity.

statistics show that the signs and the
enforcement measures are paying rich
dividends in lives spared and injuries

in the District for pedestrians last year
was 47 per 100000 of populations
compared with the national average of
63. Last years death total for persons

of "a per cent from the average for the
preceding two years. The showing
brought the city the American Automo-
bile Associations annual citation for
pedestrian safety. The record warrants
not only a continuance of the present
program of engineering, enforcement and
education but redoubling Of such efforts.
And the public should give the program

For Safer Walking

The awards which Washington has

Bear Hug for Nehru

There is nothing surprising in the
Joint declaration issued by Soviet Pre-
li1ier Bulganin and Indian Prime Min
lister Nehru to mark the end of the
latter's 15-day visit to Russia. The two
have merely repeated in unison essen
TALLY the same views that they and their
governments have uttered separately,
with varying degrees of emphasis, many
times before.
The declaration, for example, en-
braces Mr.. Nehru's five highly generalized
principles of international coexistence. 1t
also expresses the hope that peaceful
means" will be found to satisfy Red
China's Legitimate rights" as regards
Formosa, and 1t asserts that the con-
tinued refusal to admit Peiping to the
United Nations "lies at the root of many
troubles in the Far East and elsewhere"
Finally, among other things, it proclaims
that an agreement has been reached
under which the Soviet Union will extend
additional economic and technical assist
aance to India.
- Such Russian assistance has been
extremely n1eager In the past, but now,
having rolled out the richest of red
carpets in welcoming him, and having
wooed him with great ardor during his
sojourn among them, it may be that the.
men of the Kremlin really intend to make
good on some of their economic promises
to Mr. Nehru. If so, if they add their help
to the incomparably greater help that
the United States has been extending,
then the development should benefit
India. This assumes, of course, that no
political strings will be attached, which
Is a large assumption.
- In any event, the Russians obviously
have gone out of their way to give Mr..
>Nehru bear hug calculated to pull him
over on to their side. However, the
degree of their success is problematical.
After all, the Indian leader-a tough foe
of the Communist Party in his own coun-
try--is an adroit tight-rope walker, and
the words of the joint declaration do not
go beyond the murky and annoying
"neutralisn" he has voiced in the past.
In the circumstances, the West would be
well advised not to Jump to the con-
fclusion that he is now about to embark
on some sensational new pro-Red policy
as a result of his visit to the Soviets.
