Dr. Smith has just completed a
two-year study and published a re-
port on broiler marketing. He has
accumulated most of his data on
the Eastern Shore.
The group will also conduct a
panel discussion for egg producers
as to which is best Market Eggs
or Hatching Eggs" The trend over
the years had been away from eggs
sold for immediate consumption as
food. But many producers now
feel that new developments such as
hybrid strains of layers, cage lay
er management, and more efficient
methods may be swinging the pen
dulum back again. Eggs for the
hatcheryman usually bring a pre-
MUM, but broiler strains of birds
do not lay as many eggs.
These are just two topics sug-
gested by the local planning COM
mittee which met to outline ideas
for the winter season. Those serv-
ing on the committee included Ell
bert Colder of 1Cheswold, August
Hass of near Pickering Beach, Ted
Schorske of Camden, Thomas Peck
of Harrington, George Bringhurst
of Viola, and George Vapaa of Do
yer. Additional suggestions for fur
ther meeting topics will be well
coined by the committee.
Several others are serving on the
committee to develop the annual
DPIA handbook. Besides the above,
they include: Guy Winebrenner and
Melville Taylor of Harrington,
George Pyott and Charles Marker
of Dover, and Ednest Cool of Wood
side. The handbook highlights the
new developments in the poultry
industry and is the means by which
the association can award scholar
ships, sponsor the Junior BrOiler
Program, support local poultry
promotional efforts.

An Editorial
rAxpAYlNe - NOT rAx-EArlNe POWER

The advocates of socazed federal electric power mo-
nopy claim that the public at large all in favor OF govern
ownershp-but that wishes continue be
ed by powerful and selfish groups
The flaw in this argument that flies squarey in the
face Of the available facts When voters given chance
TO pass questions involving pubcvsprvat power local
elections socialism almost gets setback But the people
given chance to vote directly federal Proiect-ony
the politicians in Washington vote to spend the taxpayers
money them.
The of Florida has provided significant
examples of public sentiment The commissioners of the city
of Sanford unanimously voted TO grant 3oyesr electric
franchise to regulated axpayng Independent company
The franchise had previously been approved by popular
and effect July 10. On the date the
of Arcadia endorsed by margin franchise
the company In both these instances opponents of
the franchise had urged that the communities undertake munich
pal ownership of production and distribution systems
short time before, the citizens of Lake City Florida
voted plan advocated by city officials
that would have put the city the business Since 945
total of o3 Florida towns and cities have granted long
term franchises to the power company in question.
All this is evidence The head of the power company
said that Florida communities extend welcome to
enterprise" All the country when similar local
elections have been called citizens have almost always reacted
in the way.
Whey should this be so7 One that people know
that private rates regulated and held TO the low
est possible level Another is that private power companies
good citizens always working to improve their communities
third is that private power big taxpayer-hie soeazed
power is big tsx-eater.
