That is the view of Represen-

the House.
The Kansan. who is retiring
this year, told a dinner meeting
of the Newspaper Farm Editors
Association last night. that the
farmer has big investment in

because of chronological adj
vances this investment. on a
worker-basis average, is higher
than that of industry on the
same basis.
Fight Predicted
Senator Aiken, Republican OF
Vermont, who also addressed the
editors, predicted a fight in the
Senate over provisions of the
new farm bill which would
freeze" present cotton plant
ing allotments among the States
for the next two years.
He said the eastern and west
ern sections of the cotton belt
will divide on the provision
which the Senate Agriculture
Committee added to the House
passed bill. The measure comes
up in the Senate this week.
Earlier, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson told the editors that
the administration opposed the
cotton provisions.
Kn0wland Sees Satisfactory Bill
The cotton proposals. Senator
Aiken said, would keep Western
States from getting increases in
allotments which they other
wise would get at the expense
of the Southeast.

been sounded by the fire siren,

Deadline Nears For
Wheat Program
Compliance

Farmers with a 1856 wheat acre
age greater than their farm wheat
allotments have until May 81, 1856,
to adjust their wheat acreage to
the allotment, according to George
C. Simpson of Houston, Chairman
of the Delaware Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation Com
mittee
Wheat acreage in excess of the
farm allotment may be plowed un-
der as green manure, pastured, or
cut for hay. Any of these methods
to reduce the wheat acreage must
be carried out in such way that
the wheat will not reach maturity.
Farmers with allotmerlts of less
than Is acres who now have more
than Is acres of wheat may use the
same methods to reduce their
wheat acreage to avoid market
ing quota penalty.
Simpson reminds wheat growers
that a farm with a wheat allotment
of Is acres or less may produce as
much as IS acres of wheat without
being subject to marketing quota
I1OWGNCls IL ouCII Ic1l
produce more than Is acres of
wheat, the marketing quota penalty
is calculated on the difference be-
tween the allotment and the actual
acreage harvested. The marketing
quota penalty will be $1.07 per
bushel-which is As percent of the
parity price of $239 as of May 1,
1856 On farms with allotments of
more than Is acres, the normal
production from any acreage in ex-
cess of the farm allotment is sub
ject to the marketing quota penal
ty.
Regardless of the size of the al
lotment, wheat from any farm on
which the farm allotment is ex-
cee1ed is not eligible for price sup
port, Chairman Simpson empha-
sizes.

the near future this committee will
make detailed report to the en-
tire elemntary faculty and discuss
the many items and ideas they OBJ
| served.
On May 2S, 1856 the Lakeview
Ave Elementary School will observe
Orientation Day for those pupils
entering grade one for the 1956-57
school year. Since knowing the
exact enrolment for September is
essential to determine the extra
rooms to be rented by the Board
of Education, all parents who will
send their children to the first
grade at the Lakeview Ave. School
are urged to have them on hand
for enrolment at $3.50 a. m. Mon
day, May %, 1856. The second grade
pupils will remain at home on this
day to make room for the incoming
first graders.
At a recent meeting of the Mil
ford Special School District Board
of Education, the school tax rate
for 1856 was set. The property rate
is 42c on each 800 assessed val
uation. To this the school district
must add &c for the Milford City
Library, making total of 44c per
800 on property, compared with
34c in 1865.
| The poll tax rate was set at
$500 for 1856. This is an increase
of s4.0G per capitation over the
1855 rate.
The property assessed valuation
for the Milford Special School Dis
trict is .$13,133, ,901.42. Total capi-
tations are 5,SO2 as shown on the
tax lists for the school district.
In answer to questions received
from school patrons concerning
polio vaccine, the following is
quoted from letter received from
Dr. Floyd l. Hudson, State Health
Doctor:
Private physicians may secure
polio vaccine for first and second
doses for children in the 1 through
Ia year age group. The same ser
vice is available to children at the
scheduled State Board of Health
Well-ChiId Conferences.
(The Well-Child Conference will
be held at the Shore Theatre on
June IA at 1000 a. M, at which
time polio shots will be given.)
mo third doses will be given in
the schools until late fall or win
ter due to limited supply of the
vaccine.
Delaware pediatricians have a.
greed not to give first doses of the
vaccine during the polio season.
However, second and third doses
may be administered during that
period. No first doses will be adj
ministered at State Board of Health
clinics during the period July Is
to September 15."
In other words, on the basis of
the above, there will be no more
polio shots given at school before
the next school year
For their very excellant services
in the School Board Election on
May IL, 1856, the Board of Edu-
cation wishes to thank those per-
sons who served as officers for
their interest, cooperation and un-
stinting amount OF time.

Summer Reading
School Depends
On Enrolment

A summer reading improvement
school will again be conducted by
the East Cleveland Board of Edu-
cation if enrolment justifies it. Ac-
tion to this effect was taken Mon
day, April 9th by the board upon the
recommendation of the superinten-
dent, DR.. o. j. Korb.
The school would be in session six
weeks, June 18th to July 9th in
elusive, five days week, with two
sessions each morning. These ses-
sions would be from 8 a. m. to 10
a. m. and from 10 a. m. to IL noon.
Enrolment would be limited to
pupils who are residents of East
Cleveland School District and who
are retarded more than six months
beyond expectancy for their indi-
vidual ability under such entrance
requirements as may be established
by the superintendent.
The fee will be $5. The school
would be in charge of E. NJ. Pres
ton, principal of Prospect school
where the classes would be held.
A registration date will be an
nounced.
Sixty pupils were enrolled in the
1866 classes.

Mr.. Stonebraker also expressed
the appreciation of the board to the
teachers for waiting until all fl
nancial figures were on hand to
enable the board to determine the
new salary schedule. He also COM
mended the entire faculty for it's
constant cooperation to maintain
the high standards of the East
Cleveland schools.
According to DR.. Korb, 621A%
percent of the city's 100 teachers
"are at the top" in the salary
schedule, an excellent above aver
age when compared with other
schools in the area.
At present substitutes are paid
at the rate of $14.00 a day, rate
which also will probably be in for
an increase.
Prior to adjournment, Jack Jirus,
president Of the East Cleveland

board, in behalf of the teachers, for
the salary increase. Mr.. Jirus also
made brief, but condensed report
of the recent educational session he
