KEEP your pets warm under an
InfraRed lamp.
Many breeders on the Demarva
Peninsula use these lamps singly
and in groups to warm baby chicks,
pigs and lambs. They like the in
stant response when the current
is switched on. There's no wait
ing for a Warm-up. They like the
ease of control by varying the
number or distance of lamps. The
young are in plain sight. In the
case Of baby pigs, the danger of
the SOW crushing them is elimi-
mated.
InfraRed equipment for brood
ing is compact, easily stored when
not in use.
There are many more tasks re-
quiring controlled and concen-
trated heat which can be well done
if InfraRed is put to use. Every
body should have at least one in

Each community also received
a map of its incorporated area
pinpointing the best siren location

gineering survey showed, Mr.. Lee
said, that $45,000 would be re-
quired for sirens in Sussex and
$4,000 in Kent. Since that time,
Smyrna and Georgetown are the
only communities in the two coun-
ties which have provided attack
warning equipment. Of the new
$25,000 appropriation, $12, 500 will

pointed out. Under the new storm
alert system, Mr.. Lees office will
receive, advance warnings directly
from the U. S. Weather Bureau
office at the New Castle County
Airport. The state CD then will
fan out" the warning to all CD
agencies, all other departments of
the state government and to the
county CD directors. The alert
system will use both telephone
and radio, Mr.. Lee said. If the
warnings indicate that a serious
disaster threatens Delaware, the
state CD will station a liaison
aient at the Weather Bureau to
pass along first hand information
on the meteorological situation to
the state CD, Mr.. Lee explained.
The new law on natural disasters
specifically charges the state Civil
Defense with responsibility for
advance warnings
when possible. The law also
makes CD responsible for rescue
and evacuation work. Organiza-

quest until April 1, 1856. At that
time, the offer will be withdrawn.
Meantime, Mr.. Lee stressed, no
community in either of the two
counties will be eligible for
matching funds for other purpos-
es until it has obtained the re-
quired warning equipment. To use
any portion of the federal funds,
the local community must agree
to put up an equal amount and
also file a project application with
the state Civil Defense. The
states attack warning system is
radio controlled from a key point
in Dover where operators are on
24-hour duty. On receipt of an
alert from the Air Defense COM
mand, every siren in the State
can be sounded simultaneously.
This is the only official and effici-
ent way the public can receive an
advance warning of an air attack,
Mr.. Lee emphasized. The system
has been planned to give sound
coverage to the entire state, but
each community is responsible for
purchasing its own equipment and
tying it in with the state system.
In New Castle County, siren COW
erage is now regarded as satis-
factory, Mr.. Lee said, but in Kent
and Sussex no adequate provision
has ever been made to warn the
public.

SHORTAGE OF
TEACHERS HERE
University Gets Request For
241 Teachers in State,
Graduate Only SO
CITES OPPORTUNITIES

The critical shortage of teach
ers in Delaware schools was high
lighted by report on the place
ment of University of Delaware
graduates issued by Mrs. Geral-
dine Wyatt, director of the Uni
versity's business guidance and
placement bureau.
During the past year the uni
versity's school of education pro-
duced 33 elementary and 26 Sec
ondary teachers. Over the cores
ponding period, Mrs. Wyatt re-
ceived requests from Delaware
schools alone for lis elementary
and 126 secondary teachers. An
additional $50 job opportunities
were reported in neighboring
states.
Demand for teachers is unpre-
cedented," Mrs. Wyatt reported,
pub WAilS ILLS uSlildilu 10 lldllOIl-
wide, it is not true to say that
there is teacher shortage every
where or that graduates can find
positions in every locality. Some
metropolitan areas do not have
unusual needs and replacements
for big city schools are readily
found. 1t is in the rural and SUBJ
urban areas that additional teach
ers are most needed and even
there, graduates in some fields are
difficult TO place. Openings for
language teachers, for example,
are not easily found"
Salaries, particularly those for
women, compare favorabIy with
those in other fields, Mrs. Wyatt
declared.
Figured on twelve month
basis for comparison with other
Jobs, Delaware teachers with a
bachelors degree start at an av-
erage of $275 per month and re-
ceive annual increments of $160
for the next ten years. the place
ment director explained. Liberal
arts graduates are starting at av-
erage salaries of $242 per month,
medical technologists at about the
same figure, and home economics
at about $3.50. Women trained in
biology, bacteriology, chemistry,
physics, or mathematics begin at
somewhat higher salaries than
Z ieaciers, bur are not assured of
a regular schedule of wage in
creases."
What happened to the SO teach
ers prepared by the university
this year is also interesting.
Twenty-eight accepted teaching
positions in Delaware. Thirteen
accepted similar jobs in other
states. Two enrolled in graduate
school for further study and sew
en- were not available because of
military service, marriage, or
other responsibilities. Six accept
ed industrial positions and three
who are available for teaching
have not yet made final vocation
al decisions.
'The teaching profession is not
yet as financially attractive to
men as many other occupations,
although men certainly are in de-
mand," Mrs. Wyatt stated. 'But
for women, the opportunities, pay
scale, and working conditions
make teaching one of the most
attractive employment opportun-
tiles.
