An Attic Fan Will Help

An attic fan isn't a substitute for
complete home air conditioning but
is practical, Inexpensive means
of gaining relief from oppressive
summer heat.
Properly used. an attic fan can
be very satisfactory, say county
agent George X. Vapaa- The fan
may do little or no good during the
daytime. But If used in the evening,
heated attic air is exhausted and
cooler air from the outside pulled
into the house.
This process will cool the entire
house during the night and If win
dows are closed during the day,
lower temperatures may be main
tanned within the home.
One Of the most important fac
tors to consider when buying an
attic fan is its size. Get one large
enough to change the air in the
house every minute. For example,
house with 1000 square feet of
floor area and eight foot walls con-
tains 5000 cubic feet of volume

Social Security News

Employers in resort areas have
a few special problems in keeping
their social security records
straight-and the Delaware Coast
Section is no exception.
Many resort employers frequent
ly use the services of their own
school-age youngsters during the
summer and wonder whether they
have to pay social security taxes for
them, even though it is all in the
family. Actually, family employ
ment is excepted from social Sc
curity coverage in most instances,
according to Myron Milbouer, man.
ager of the Delaware social securi-
ty office in Wilmington.
For instance, if business is in
dividually owned-that is, not in
corporated and not a partnership
services performed by the employ
er's child under 81 are excluded.
Sons and daughters past voting age,
however. are different matter.
They should be reported the same
as any other employee.
This family exception extends to
other relationships. A parent work
ing for a child, for example, or a
spouse employed by the husband or
wife who owns the business is also
omitted from the quarterly social
security tax returns.
The problem of getting a record
of the name and account number
of everyone who has to be reported
at the end of the tax period is inn
portant in a resort area where
young people who have never had
numbers before, and transient en-
ployees, form a large part of the
labor force. Account numbers are
issued from the Wilmington office
at S13 West Street, in Delaware, and
can be secured by mail

tive weights and feed conversion,
according TO table prepared by
the University of Delaware. As a
further check on comparative per-

Average weight of these top
fiocks sold was 3.44 lbs. at 10

64 points between weight and feed

Broiler growers are using more

before, and find ii pays dividends.
According to William Wagamon,
Jr., of Milton, increasing the num-
Der of water troughs from 3 to 6
per 1000 broilers has given II to
1a lb. more weight per bird and 10
to 20 points better feed conversion.
In Ralph Reeds house, he got Il

side of the house with 100 chicks
per room than he got on the other
side with 1900 chicks per room.
The growers listed above averaged
$40 So. fit. floor space per bird.
Most of these growers feed their
birds three times a day, and are
careful not to fill their feeders
more than 1/3 to 1/2 full. A coc-
cidiostat is added to the feed and
antibiotics used for controlling res
piratory disease. In some cases,
antibiotics are added the first few
days for growth promotion. Pellets
are increasing in popularity.
Feed dealers may now nominate
their top broiler flock sold during
the month of June, and send it to
the County Agent. Si1as McHenry,
Assistant Poultry Specialist and
the County Agent will visit each
grower to obtain pictures and in

STILL JUMPING

GRAND HAVEN, Mich.-(P)-
Steve S. Malsam, 26, was a para
trooper in the Korean War and
he's still jumping. He says there
are only three men in the country
who go up in balloons and para
chute to earth as an entertainment
stunt. He is one of them.
He's a welder in cold weather
but gets leave of absence from his
job to do his jumping in the sum-
mer. Although he gets up to $500
for each leap, he says the real rea-
son he does it is because it is fun.
Expenses are high. His balloons
cost $500 to replace and parachutes
cost S100 apiece.
He does stunts on a trapeze as
the hot-air-filled balloon rises, then
lets go and falls free for 500 feet
before opening his chute. That
free fall takes about 2S seconds, he
says. He carries a little bag of
flour to make a trail in the air.
