BRUCELLosIs ERADICATION
New Castle County Declared Con-
troll Area Is Under Quarantine

New Castle County Declared Con-
( troll Area Is Under Quarantine
The brucellosis eradication pro-
gram in cattle of the State Board
of Agriculture was recently given
added impetus when New Castle
County was declared a Brucellosis
Control Area and placed under
quarantine for the testing of cat
tie under the area plan. 1t is es-
sential that all dairy and beef
cattle be blood tested before jan
uary 1, 1856. During the past
few months the testing of cattle
for brucellosis has proceeded at a
rapid pace and has resulted in
approximately 80 percent of the
cattle being tested to date. The
State law provides that when IS
percent of the cattle owners in
any county have tested herds Of
cattle or have made application to
have their herds tested, the State
Board of Agriculture may quar-
antine all cattle on the premises
of the remaining 25 percent and
may quarantine all products from
such cattle so that no cattle or
products may be removed from
such premises until they have
passed satisfactory blood test.
During the past two years the
rate of the overall State infection
has been reduced from a high of
over 4 percent to a low of liz
percent. When all the cattle have
been tested and the rate of infec-
tion reduced to 1 percent or less
the county can achieve the rating
as a Modified Certified Brucellosis
Free Area, a rating which New
Castle County and in fact the en-
tire State of Delaware now enjoys
under the tuberculosis Eradica-
tion Program. In order to meet
the market demands of other
states and the forthcoming re-
stricting Milk Ordinances to be
imposed by the various Public
Health service codes, which will
require milk from brucellosis free
herds, it will become necessary
for Delaware dairymen to have
tested, disease free cattle. This
will result in guaranteeing the es-
tablished market for milk and
surplus naimals.

LANDING LIGHTS
Landing Aircraft at Sea with Col

LdfluinS AIFcfdl at SEA Nltu 0Oi-
ored Lights Tested Last Month
A new system of landing air.
craft at sea with mirrors and COL
ored lights underwent its first
tests last month on the Navy at
tack aircraft carrier USS Ben
nington. Based on an idea devel-
oped by the British Navy, the
new landing system consists of a
large concave mirror and banks
of green and amber lights mount
ed on the port side of a carries
angled fight deck. About $50
feet astern of the mirror is an
other row of lights, amber in col
or, which are reflected as an i'm
age or "blob" of light. 1t is the
image in relation to side reference
lights which the pilot sees when
making a landing. AS the pilot
approaches the flight deck for a
landing, the position of the lights
and an image in the mirror indi-
cate whether his glide path, speed
and altitude are in proper relation
to each other for a safe landing.
The new system, for both day and
night operations, is known as the
deck landing mirror sight" the
combination may eventually re-
place the Landing Signal officer
who now brings the pilot and his
aircraft 10 a landing with the use
of hand-held paddles or lights.
