House Floor Action Urged
On Civil Rights Measures

Mr.. Celler's and Mr.. Heating
statements were prepared for an
open hearing by the Rules Com
mittee on the legislation which
is potentially explosive in this
political campain year. A vote
is scheduled for tomorrow.
The bill embodies Eisenhower
administration proposals in the
civil rights field.
Chairman Howard w. Smith,
Democrat Of Virginia, an an
nounced opponent, has said he
is prepared to use all his pre-
negatives to delay action. This
could mean a To-day delay be-
fore the bill reached the floor.
The bill would create a COM
mission on civil rights prob
lens and a special civil rights
division in the Justice Depart
ment. 1t would empower the
department to take to the Fed
eral courts cases involving vio-
lation of individual rights, with
special emphasis on the right to
vote. 1t would also make it
easier for a person to bring his
own case to Federal court.

Metal Roofing Lasts Longer
With Good Care

Metal roofs on many farm build
ings are proving how durable this
type of roof can be. The lifetime
of these roofs can be greatly IN
creased by knowing how to select
the roofing, how to put it on, and
ways to preserve the metal. AS

Ralph Barwick gives few points
on applying the material.
Screw-type nails have proved
preferable to smooth-shank nails
for fastening metal sheets secures

screws have been used satisfac-
torily to fasten sheets together

Coarse-Textured Dairy
Feeds Not Recommended

Coarse-textured feeds are not
recommended for dairy cows, ac-
cording to New Castle County
Agent Edward Schabinger. He
says recent studies conducted at
the New Hampshire Experiment
Station reveal that the feeding of
coarse concentrate mixtures to
dairy cows can not be justified on
the basis of greater palatability
or digestibility.
No differences in grain con-
sumption were noted when coarse
textured feeds were compared with
fine-textured concentrates for
dairy cows. Despite no significant
differences in feed consumption or
milk production, cows receiving
the fine dairy feed gained appre-
ciably more weight during late
lactation. 1t is presumed that the
larger body weight gains were the
result of the greater digestibility
of the fine-textured mixture.
Digestibility trials indicated that
a coarse-textured dairy concen-
trate had a total digestible nutri-
ent content of SO per cent, while
the same feed ground to a finer
texture contained 66.6 per cent
of total digestible nutrients. Fur
ther digestion experiments showed
that a fine-textured or ground
dairy feed was superior to coarse,

eentrates in respect to the digesti-

holes. Asbestos wicking has been
found to be a good material for
gaskets in the sheet laps, but not
more than two strands should be
used or the sheets may be spread
apart too far.
Galvanized roofing should be
painted as soon as the galvaniz-
ing or zinc coating begin to break
down. Painting at this stage takes
less labor and much less paint
than after the roof begins to rust.
For the paint to stick on well
and for maximum coverage, it
must be put on in warm weather.
Sheets must be dry and free from
dust and dirt. If rusted, the sheets
can be cleaned with wire brush
to remove loose particles and
scale. First, paint all rusted spots
and allow to dry before applying
a coat over the entire roof. Wire
brushing is not necessary if the
paint is applied with a spray gun,
but the roof should be swept with
a broom just before painting,

bility of protein and energy.
Because many dairymen have
felt that coarse dairy concentrate
mixtures are more palatable and
contain higher quality ingredients
they have been willing to pay a
premium for such commercial
feeds. The results of the New
Hampshire study indicate, how
ever, that a coarse feed is no
more palatable than a good, fine
textured concentrate mixture and
is actually less digestible than the
same feed ground to a finer mix
ture.

LAW ENFORCEMENT
Stepped-Up Enforcement Makes II
Safer for Weekend Driving

Stepped-up traffic law enforce
ment on holidays makes it safer
to drive your car on a busy holi-
day this year than on an ordinary
summer weekend, according to a
study reported yesterday by ].
James Ashton, manager of the
Delaware Safety Council.
Mr.. Ashton, who is vice chair
man of the Northeastern Regional
Conference of State Safety Coord-
inators, said the conclusion is
based on an analysis of the IA
percent increase in highway
deaths for the month of June as
compared with June 1855 and af-
ter comparison of 1856 Memorial
Day and 4th of July fatality re-
cords with the toll for June.
"Only thirteen states, Colorado,
Connecticut, Maine, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Texas and Wyoming, showed
better traffic death record for
June, 1856 than for June, 1855"
it was pointed out by w. A. Hug
gins, president of the National
Conference of State Safety Co
ordinators, while two states
(Rhode Island and Vermont) held
even with the record of year
ago. All other states, the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Com
monwealth of Puerto Rico had
sharp increases to bring the Ma
tional total to 2,941 deaths COM
pared with 2,579 year ago. In
all of these summaries the State
of New York is not included due
to a delayed report"
Delaware had six traffic fatali-
ties in June, 1855, and seven in
June of this year.
"Final figures for the Memorial
Day holiday showed reduction
of 21.3 per cent and for the 4th
of July the reduction was 8,8 per
cent below last year"
"In contrast with the IA per
cent increase for June this can
mean only one thing. State, coun-
ty and local traffic law enforce
ment is intensified for the holi-
days; all media of public informa-
ton stress holiday driving haz-
ards; highway users are alerted
to the traffic accident potential

so the record shows improvement.
In the ordinary day-to-day sum-
mer vacation travel and on sum-
mertime weekends there is, ap-
parently, less enforcement and
less caution"
In relation to the nationwide
"Slow Down and Live" campaign
being sponsored by the State
Safety Coordinators between the
eve of May 80 and Labor Day,
Mr.. Higgins observed: Nothing
seems to stop the relentless march
Smyrna times., 1956-08-23

to an all-time national record of
more than $4,000 highway deaths
in 1856. However, the same tech
niques of enforcement and public
ity which prove to be effective
for holidays would materially les
sen the summertime highway
death toll if applied consistently
and continuously throughout the
vacation season. Equally, strong
enforcement and constant public
education would be effective 365
days in the year."

Nurses Group
Seeks Right
To Bargain

CHICAGO. May II (P.-The
American Nurses Association

and Congress yesterday to amend
the Taft-Hartley Act so that
nurses can bargain collectively
with non-profit hospitals.
The act exempts non-profit
hospitals from collective bar
gaining obligations.
The associations House of
Delegates pointed out that its
members adopted a no-strike
policy in 1852. declaring they
never would leave their patients.
A resolution. adopted by the
House. said that the nurses
voluntarily relinquished their
right to strike on the assump-
ton that employers would deal
with them fairly. It added.
Many employers have failed
and are continuing to fail to
accept this responsibility by re-
fusing to meet with nurses"
In many instances. the reso-
luton went on. employers "have
relied on the exemption pro-
vided TO non-proflt hospitals in
the act"
AS result. the resolution said
nurses in non-profit hospitals
are left without the rights grant

citizens-namely. the right TO use

Happy Ending
Two years after the mother
died she had an operation for
a cataract. Even when she
thought she might go blind, not
once did she complain or lose
faith. AS in a fairy tale, there
is a happy ending to this story.
Her boss proposed to her. For
the past 10 years she tells me
her happiness has made UP for
all the struggles she had to
overcome. She may not be wear
ing a medal but she is still
wearing a smile that adversely
could not erase.
In my practice I have observed
hundreds of heroes and heroines
who went about carrying their
burdens without thought that
they were doing anything ex-
traordinary. have seen mothers
devote themselves to a helpless,
imbecile child. I have seen them
resign themselves with devotion
to an invalid husband. have
seen young teen-agers bring up
a brood of younger children after
the mother had died. I have seen
fathers act as father and mother
to their children for years and
think nothing of it except that
it was their duty and privilege
l have seen cancer patients who
were more concerned about
worrying their family than they
were about dying.
You can tell me about mans
weaknesses. AS a doctor I have
seen them all. But whenever I
tend to become discouraged by a
persons cruelty or SelfiShness, 1
harken back to all the evidences
OF courage l have seen. In an

wherever you see human beings
you will find courage that knows
no bounds. When faced with

6. Sulk Vaccine

The prodigious confusion for a
time over the Salk vaccine gave
the President one of his worst
headaches in the spring of 1855.
The mix-up was compounded
|of a very difficult technical
problem, public emotion and
inadequate preparation by Mrs.
Hobby's department. The White
House was dismayed when Mrs.
Hobby testified during the up
roar that the vaccine shortage
was tremendous" and that mo
one could have foreseen the pub
lie demand"
At times. Mrs. Hobby showed
signs of being frightened by the
vaccine problem. Her temper led
her into difficulties with her
staff. Although she was an editor
and publisher in private life, she
never mastered press relations in
Washington.
Mrs. Hobby advocated delay
ing a Federal program of aiding
children unable to pay for Salk
Iinoculations. She wanted to see
what the States would do first.
Mr. Eisenhower insisted that no
child be denied the vaccine for
lack of money and that Federal
funds must be available if neces-
Sary.

FAMOUS FABLES

TEMPER: Automobile manu-

his first great stride toward sue

his temper. In his 20s. Chrysler
was already an expert mechanic,
with brilliant prospects for the
future. but he was inclined to
fly of the handle easily.
At the age of 81, he was a
roundhouse foreman for the
Denver and Rio Grande Western
Railroad. One day, he received
Ia letter of reprimand from his
superior, the general master me-
|chanic. Nothing serious was in
|volved, but when Chrysler read,
he began to boil. Although he
had a wife and baby to support,
and jobs were scarce, he sat down
and wrote a blistering reply.
Four days passed and nothing
happened. Then on the fifth
day Chrysler was summoned to
his superior's Office. He still had
10 chip on his shoulder when he
entered. The older man greeted
him pleasantly.
Come in, Walt" he said. IT
want you to look at some new
drawings I just received"
For half an hour, the two dis
Icussed the blueprints. The boss
praised Chrysler's work, and the
|latter's anger gradually sub
sided. Finally, when his young
assistant was completely relaxed,
the older man" looked up and
said:
"You know. Walt. you've got a
great future. I'd hate to see you
throw it away because of your
temper. Now and then, I too get
Ia letter that makes me angry.
You know what I do when that
happens?" He reached into a
desk drawer and pulled out
Chrysler'S letter. IT put it in a
drawer for a few days until I've
Gained down. BY that time, I'm
not angry enough to write a nasty
reply"
Chrysler mumbled his apollo
gies. 1t was the last time he
