sex CD transportation branch. The
other four were turned over to Mr..
Harry A Helm, Kent CD Director
who had made arrangements with
the Delaware National Guard 30 do
his hauling.
Each aid station contains an elab-
crate array OF medical equipment,
including surgical instruments,
medicaments. sutures, bandages,
blankets and cot-litters.
The cots are the same kind as
those that came in so handy during
Hurricane Connie, Mr.. Lee pointed
out, when Civil Defense turned them
over TO the Red Cross for use by
beach front evacuees spending the
night in Selbyville and Millsboro.
One more first aid station worth
$500 also is earmarked for Sussex
County when a storage site is
found for it, Mr. Lee said.
New Castle County already is well
supplied, he said. Over a year ago,
46 complete aid stations were stored
in the rural portions of the county,
chiefly in schools and other public
buildings.
These supplies can be sent to
any part of the state if needed in
an emergency, Mr.. Lee explained.
They are stockpiled in rural New
Castle County. ne said, because that
is the perimeter of the stale's criti-
cal target area, the city of Whining
ton.
In addition to the aid slations
either stored in the counties or
earmarked for future storage, The
state has extra supplies at the Del
aware City headquarters.
The medical supplies were pur-
chased some time ago under the
federal matching program with the
state and federal CD spl tting the
cost. They remain the property of
the state but the counties may use
them as necessary.
Intended primarily for use in a
wartime emergency, each aid sta
tion is designed to be manned by a
230-member team, including doctors,
nurses, technicians and litter bear
ers. One station has enough equip
ment to handle between 500 and L.
900 casualties. 1t is calculated that
the supplies stored throughout the
state would be sufficient to handle
victims in the first choatic hours
following an air attack.
After that, under the state CD
plan, serious casualties would be
moved to emergency hospitals, ar
for which also are be-
ing made. By then also, additional
medical supplies could be brought
in from federal stockpiles.

Best Growers Keep
Their Chickens Cool
CONTINUED from first pagel

| RAOuAluuGu lTQIu uTSt DaE6t
Most of these growers allowed
more than $40 square feet of floor
| space for bird. All bSoiler growers
are allowing more floor space now !;
some feed dealers require a mini
mum OF $40 square feet for birds
grown on contract AS one dealer
remarked. "a pound bird uses that
small amount of space for his beo
dining room, toilet and playground. /"
Several of these growers use two
sizes OF metal feeders. They have
found by experience that there is
too much feed wastage when box
lids are used until the birds are
oid enough for large feeders. They
use box lids for the first few days,
then shift to A. intermediate size"
chick feeders until the chicks are
four weeks old (set on 2 4 blocks
or metal legs at weeks of age) :.
The FARRELL father and son team"
use Is of the smaller feeders and
20 of the large feeders per 1000
broilers.
Double doors at the ends of the
house, doors in the front and rear
wall, and 2 wide drop board un-
der the roof in the rear of the
house permit cross-ventilation in
these poultry houses. Ventilation
systems varied among the above
flocks, but all of them gave their
chicks plenty of fresh air.
Some of these growers keep a
daily record of the f1ockS' feed con-
sumption as well as mortality. In
this way, both the serviceman and
grower will know just as soon as
the chickens appetite drops off.
This is the first sign of trouble;
and treatment should be started
immediately-before mortality in
creases. One feed dealer remarked
''the feed consumption record is
more important than the mortality
record for raising a good flock of
chickens
AS part of this Grow Better
/ Broiler Program" all growers
nominated fer the "Broiler Produ-
Ger of the Month" Club are visited
by the county agricultural agent
and extension poultryman. The pro-
gram is planned primarily to get
ideas from the good producers; al
though many growers visited have
asked for suggestions on how they
can further improve their manage
ment program. Everyone benefits
by an exchange of ideas.
Feed dealers who are interested
in nominating their best broiler
grower for the month of August
should contact their county agent.

Crabs are larger this week and in
greater numbers. 1t is seldom we
have crabs in the yacht basin at In

there now.
Heavy rains have driven large
numbers of carp up the streams to
the spillways of ponds. At Moore's
Lake, near Dover, 270 carp were
counted at one time on the apron
of the spillway. Many of these are
being taken with doughballs. The
gates at Cubbage Pond near Lin

rains this week. The highway which
serves as a dixie has been temporar-

Pageant coming up after Labor Day
