dripping faucets, loose tile
around a faucet and stains from
fruits may become real problems
if left alone.
Kitchen and bathroom fixtures
need regular cleansings with soap
and warm water to preserve their
sheen, otherwise they may become
dull within a short time.
Pots, pans or silverware left in
the sink may cause rust spots.
Fruit or vegetables permitted to
drain in the sink may cause per-
manent acid stains. Grease, tea
and coffee grounds can cause hard

Sink enamel is easily damaged

Proper Care Helps
Lower BrOiler Costs

Broilers can be grown cheaper.
And Silas McHenry, University
of Delaware extension poultry
specialist, suggests conserving feed
as a good way to start the job.
About two-thirds of production
costs go for feed.
Use right size feeders set at a
level with the broilers' backs. Then
fill the feeders about one-third
full. This lets the birds eat proper
ly, yet not waste feed.
About one-third of the feed can
be spilled by chickens eating out
of full feeders.
Give the broilers plenty of grow
ing room, McHenry advises. Make
sure each bird has enough room to
move about-and more if possible
Less than five per cent of total
production costs are for housing
and equipment, the poultry special
ist says. Depreciation amounts to
only about one-half cent per pound
of meat.
So it doesn't pay to skimp on
hOusing-either the quality or
quantity of floor space given each
bird.
Good ventilation helps lower
production costs, McHenry says.
He recommends checking ventila-
tion at least four times a day dur
ing changeable weather. Do this in
early morning, mid-morning, mid
afternoon, and at sundown. It's a
good idea to check again before
going to bed.
More ventilation is needed, If you

you walk into the house.

tile.
Plumbing fixture experts warn
that kitchen, laundry room or
bathroom basins not be used as
receptacles for Photographic de-
veloping solutions because stains
will result, often impossible to
remove.
Many homemakers tolerate drip
ping faucets, whereas if the leak
is repaired at once basin stains
will not result. When these are
made by hard water mineral de-
posits they will be difficult to re-
move.
If soap and warm water fail to
remove that type stain, try max
ing a simple cleaning solution.
Shave half a bar of naptha-based
laundry soap into a quart Of warm
water. Add tablespoons of ker-
osene. Apply it with cloth and
wash off. This will usually work,
unless neglect has given the stain
a head start. A mild abrasive
cleanser may be used then. Rub
it lightly with a coarse cloth and
use plenty of water to remove it.
Never use a cleanser with an
acid or bleach content, even as
last resort, experts advise.

imagine what this holiday season
would be like without it? Fortu-
nately, we in this country can
choose what we care to hear, and
we all will be listening to a great
variety of programs as the old
year ends. To each, Christmas
speaks of something different, but
to all, it is a season of laughter,
song and happiness.
To add to the pleasure of this
time of the year, / want to call
your attention to some guests we
will be having on our Farm and
Home Hour over the three county
radio stations. Mrs. Ruth Koenig
and Mr.. Phillip Taylor, music di-
rectors of the Georgetown Special
School, and Mr.. William Hayes of
the Rehoboth Special School, will
present groups of their pupils in
their interpretations of some of
the well known and loved songs
and music of the Yuletide. There
will be mixed choruses, trios, quar-

Given On
Washing Eggs

Many times, poultrymen ask the
question as to how market eggs
should be washed. From the ques-
tions asked it is quite apparent
that many poultrymen don't wash
them correctly, and from actual
observation, it is quite obvious that
a poor washing job is being done.
IF you won't wash eggs right
don't do it,, it a good slogan to
follow, says Ray Lloyd, Asst.
County Agent. 1t should be clearly
understood, however, that egg
washing should not be a substitute
for the production of clean eggs.
Follow all the practices that will
insure as many clean eggs as pos
sible.
The rules for washing eggs can
be summarized as follows:
/. Use clean equipment for wash
ing and keep it clean.
2. . Use a cleaner-sanitiZer in
clean water, and keep it clean by
washing no more than baskets
of eggs in one batch of solution.
8. Follow the manufacturers di-
lGClAOn Dub hCCP bAAC NSAA POI 1bAA 2
of the solution between 110 and
130 degrees. Don't guess at the
temperature-use a thermometer.
4. Follow a recommended pro-
cedure for washing by washing
as soon as the eggs have cooled,
immerse the eggs no longer than
three minutes and dry as rapidly
as possible after washing.
Too many times the poultry
man will take short cuts or make
up their own rules, but this can't
be done on egg washing proceed
ures. It's too easy to make costly
mistakes. Remember the slogan
IF you won't wash them right
don't do it," Better then to resort
to dry cleaning with emery cloth
or an emery wheel.

To Avoid Confusion

We are glad that the Virginia
State Senate has taken the time at the
current special session of the General
Assembly to do its part in correcting an
error which could create unprecedented
confusion in the Arlington County Board
election next November. Through a mis-
understanding, the two contestants for
a seat on the board failed to file notices
of candidacy with the State Board of
Elections. The board has ruled that their
names cannot be placed on the ballot,
but that write-in votes would be valid
Since Arlington uses voting machines, the
prospect of write-in system has con-
fronted the county with what State
Senator Fenwick aptly described as "a
mess" With the approval of Governor
Stanley, the Arlington delegation to the
Legislature prepared bills to formalize the

A Deal of High Promise

The record food loan agreement
made by the United States and India
offers promise of valuable returns to both
countries.
To India, where food shortages are
constant threat, it offers such large
stocks of basic commodities that reserves
may be built up for crisis periods of floods
or crop failures, and provides the means
to stabilize the often costly price f1uctua-
tionS 1t offers, too, through its proposed
financing, long-term low interest rate
loan of about 1924 million available for
Indias much-needed economic develop
ment, about $54 million more as an out
right grant for the same purposes and
rupee account of another $72 million to
pay for United States purchases in India.
To the United States, it offers an
outlet for substantial amount of our
top-heavy farm surpluses. The proposed
shipment of 35 million tons of wheat,
for example, will account for about IS
per cent of the wheat held in Government
warehouses on August l. Similarly, the
shipment of 100000 tons of rice will
reduce stocks of that commodity by
nearly Is per cent There will be COM
parable reductions in the surplus stocks
of cotton, tobacco and dairy products.
Storage costs and pressures on commod-
ity prices will be eased The $72-million
drawing account, in effect barter of
surplus foodStuffs for goods and services,
will bring to us certain strategic mate
rails and will Offset some of the costs of
our diplomatic service in India.
Aside from these tangible factors, the
deal could mean much in terms of inn
proved relations between the two coun-
tries. 1t far overShadows in dollar value
any assistance thus far provided India
by the Soviet Union, and extends it in
ways that could have broad and deep
impact unon the country's strained econ
only and agricultural capacity. The
agreement represents an imaginative
approach to international cooperation,
and one with which both governments
may feel highly pleased.

Deadly Postime

Relman NORM of the Associated
Press has described the recurrent
holiday-week-end traffic slaughter as
american roulette"-a deadly form of
Russian roulette, played with automo-
biles instead of revolverS. The descrip-
ton fits only too well some of the need
less traffic fatalities which always mar
such long week end as the one just
ahead. Studies have shown that many
of the head-on collisions and other
serious crashes on the highways are the
result of such reckless gambling with
death as marks the dangerous game of
putting a partially loaded revolver to
ones head and pulling the trigger.
Last year 438 men, women and chill
dren met sudden death on the Nations
highways during the Labor Day week end.
Hundreds of others were seriously in
jured. Some were crippled or otherwise
disabled for life. The National Safety
Council reluctantly predicts that at least
480 will be killed during the 72-hour
period beginning this evening at o'clock
and ending at midnight Monday. I'm
fortunately, the council is remarkably
accurate in its forecasts. Only one
factor could reduce the toll substantially

Time to Show Force?

The dispatch of French troops to
Cyprus must be considered highly ques-
tionable gamble with the prospects for
peace in the eastern Mediterranean.
For if any Western power is diSliked and
distrusted more than Britain in the
Middle East it is France, state of mind
having its modern beginning with French
rule in Syria and Lebanon between the
two world wars. More recently, Frances
troubles in North Africa have aroused
Moslem populations to the east to new
pitch of unfriendlineSS for that European
country.
If nothing else, the timing of this
French troop movement may be partic-
ularly unfortunate. In Cairo on Monday
the five-nation committee seeking to
negotiate a settlement of the Suez Canal
dispute will have its first meeting with
President NasSer of Egypt. 1t is a meeting
that does not hold great promise at best,
in view of Colonel NaSser's indicated dis
approval of the committees proposals for
internationalizing operation of the canal.
Even more clearly indicated has been the
Egyptian governments determination not
to negotiate under any threat of military
action by the Western powers, course
which was first advocated by British and
French SpokeSmen but which seemed to
have been set aside during the 22-nation
London conference. And while the addi-
tion of French forces to the British al
ready stationed in Cyprus may be only
precautionary, there is real danger that
the move may jeopardize the already
uncertain chances for successful negotia-
tions in Cairo.
AS for Cyprus itself, while presumably
the French troops will not be employed
in that crisis, the presence of another
foreign military garrison is not likely to
lessen the tension in the colony. Britain
has argued, of course, that the island is
essential to the North Atlantic Alliances
defense position in the eastern Mediter-
ranean. France has a share in this
defense responsibility and obviously there
is potential threat to peace in the
Middle East. The NATO Council, of which
France is a member, will meet in Paris
on Wednesday to discuss this very issue.
Even so, there are grounds for doubt that
a show of joint military force at this
time will contribute to easing this threat.

StonIey's Plan
Did ReactiOnary.

Governor Stanley describes
his plan as a plan ito prevent
integration anywhere in Vir-
ginia." 1t should be made clear
to the people that his proposal
will not achieve that objective,
since any locality willing TO
finance its own schools may
continue to operate them even
though they are integrated.
The Governor plan"
therefore. is not a plan to pre-
vent integration in the public
schools. 1t is a plan to abolish
the public schools in any
county or city which is forced
to integrate a single child, and
which cannot afford to carry
the whole burden Of school
operation. Like most Of the
people Of Virginia, / oppose
integration. but I do not be-
neVe that VirglnianS Will stand
for the destruction Of their
public schools.
In Arlington one Of two
things will occur under the
Governors proposal. The pub
lie schools will close, our
teachers will lose their jobs,
our whole educational system
will be disrupted. The other
alternative forced upon Arling-
tonians will be to finance their
schools without any State aid
in preference to seeing their
schools closed down. their chill
dren go without education.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The fight over the size of
the dose began in ancient
Egypt. where they operated
with a hot stick. and relied on
amulets.
They gave big doses because
big doses made things happen.
When humanity got to the
Middle Ages. sometimes called
the Dark Ages. the doses really
became whoppers.
More people died from doc
tors, perhaps. than from the
plaques.
Suddenly q man in Germany
stood up and said he would give
tiny doses.
He did. and got about as
good results as anybody, be-
sides keeping millions from
suffering from overdosage.
This informal excursion into
medical history q Ia Temp
Jones now takes US down to
modern America, where two
things have happened. Of vital
interest to all who take medi-
cineS.
One, they have concentrated
the real active ingredients In
medicines.
Two, they then give them
in minute measurements called
milligrams, and some even in
micrograms.
This good work has been
going on for the past quarter
Of a century. Templeton Jones
says. and the American people
ought to all know about it,
and sing the praises Of mod
ern physicians and chemists
and druggists. who are saving
them from many an unsus-
pected bellyache by giving
small doses instead Of large.
Temp Jones. pioneer, goes
one step farther.
Cut every dose in half, or
one fourth. he advises.
He has one suggestion:
Don't let your doctor know
about it, he might not like 1t
at all.
After all. doctors have to
be humored. just like babies.
