community fire protection to a
point where it will make possible
lower fire insurance rates. In this
way, Civil Defense will be helping
to pay for itself.
Another agency now benefting
from the matching fund program
is the State Highway Department,
which is installing a complete radio
net with matching funds. The net
viii tie together the departments
maintenance vehicles into a closely
knit team. This will be extremely
important in a wartime emergency,
when the highway department will
serve as the Civil Defense engi-
necring and rescue division. Mean
time the radio net will add to
the day-by-day efficiency of the
highway departments operations.
Another matching fund item now
on hand is $4,000 in medical
supplies recently stored in Della
ware for emergency use. 1t is also
possible that equipment for several
2OO~bed emergency hospitals will
be made available to the State,
either through matching funds or
as an outright gift from the Federal
Government. In addition, six Civil
Defense rescue trucks have been
purchased, each at a cost of $4,000,
and now are housed with various
fire companies. The firemen are en-
couraged to make use of this valu-
able equipment whenever it is
needed.
Much more in the way of sup
plies and material may be OBJ
tanned by Delaware agencies-the
schools or welfare department, for

ing funds. AS the program develops,

Civil Defense News
BY COLONEL D. PRESTON LEE
Stoie Director Of Civil Defense

In a very real sense. Civil De-
tense is paying for itself right
now in Delaware.
About 100000 in Federal money
has been poured into this State
through the Civil Defense match
ing fund program. This has gone
for all manner of useful equipment
particularly fire-fighting apparatus.
much of which is already being put
to use.
Briefly, the matching fund pro-
gram provides that the Federal
Government will pay fifty per cent
OF the cost Of emergency equipment
If the State will contribute the
other half.
Through this agreement. the
States volunteer fire companies
have obtained Civil Defense an
prevail to purchase 5 fire bumpers.
with the companies paying half
the cost. In this way, many volun-
teer units are getting much needed
equipment that otherwise they
might not have been able to pur-
chase What's more, the new equip
ment can be used at any time. 1t is
not reserved for Civil Defense.
Also, thanks to the matching
fund program. every volunteer fire
company now has at least one
mobile radio unit All companies
are tied together in statewide
fire communication net, installed
with matching funds at a cost of
$4,000.
Though intended primarily for
use in a wartime emergency of the
volunteer companies in lending
emergency support to each other,
firemen say that the radios enable
them to summon other companies
for help much more quickly than
formerly.
1t is only logical that this new
fire equipment and radio communi-
cations will improve rural and

Costs Can Be Cut
In Building Houses

Building or remOdeling a house?
Here are some hints on cutting
costs from William E. Larsen, ag-
ricultural engineer at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
First, work up a set of complete
plans and specifications. Choose a
plan which meets needs, but has
no wasted space. Plan so stock size
materials can be used. Use stock
sizes in doors and windows if pos
sible. Use expansible plans to cut
initial costs.
Use good quality materials. but
avoid fancy materials. Cut down on
size and number of pOrches, and
have a minimum number of hall
ways of reasonable size. Avoid high
ceilings and keep roof slopes low,
except in 112 story houses.
Keep corners, gables, bay win
dOWs, ETC., to a minimum, and use
picture windows only when appro-
pirate. Use as much local or ma
tive material as possible. If any
room must be left out, let it be the
dining room. Fireplace are luxuries
and may be omitted. Easements
cost more, but may be justifable.
Do as much of the work yourself
as possible, including painting, fin
ishing floors, insulating walls, and
some rough carpentry work.
Don't try to save by making
rooms too small, leaving out stor-
age spaces, making foundations too
small, supporting brick flues at
ceiling, not providing space for
bathroom, leaving out insulation,
making jOists too small, using steep
winding stairs, using cheap mate
rials, not paintin" woodwork, or
having insufficient light and ven
tilatiOn

Civil Defense will be making an
important contribution to the
State.
Unrelated to the matching fund
program but a matter that could
do with some elucidation here is
the proposed Civil Defense legisla-
tive program. Drafts of two princi-
pal bills have been prepared for
submission at the next session of
the General Assembly. If approved,
these new laws will greatly facili-
tate Civil Defense operations.
One would make possible CD par
ticipatiOn in natural disaster re-
lief. At present, the law fOrbids
the State CD to take part in such
work.
Another bill would give CD
workers the same accident benefit as
other State employees. In case of
death, the CD workers next-of-kin
Milford chronicle., 1955-03-11

would receive the State pension
provided by the Workmen's Com
pensatiOn Law. These henefits
would apply both to paid and volun-
teer CD workers. They would he
covered, of course, only during the
time they actually participated in
CD training exercises or other ac-
tivities.
A third bill would permit CD to
use the services and facilities of
existing State officials and agencies.
Such officials would be obliged to
cooperate with CD at the Cover
nOr's request.

BEAT
By BURTON HAWKINS

"It wasn't his fault" Yogi said.
HE didn't have a chance to
slide and he had to come into
me. He's a good kid and I can't
blame him"
The ball which was blooped for
Ted Williams 2,000th hit will be
auctioned of to aid a Boston
charity fund. When Paul
Waner was seeking his 3,000th
hit he slapped a grounder of
the shortstop's glove. which
could have been called hit
easily. But Waner quickly waved
to the press box, imploring the
official scorer to call it an error.
The scorer went along
with him and Waner later made
hit No. 5000 more to his liking.
There were more Boston writ
Iers than ball players when the
Red Sox invaded Yankee Sta
dunn for their recent three-game
series. Forty scribes gave
the Red Sox the complete treat
ment. Miss Washington will

tween games of a double-header

an unearned run for a 80 lead
in the first, and sewed up the
