Storage Temperatures
There is some confusion as to
what is meant by zero degrees
storage temperature" for frozen
foods. The zero degrees we
speak of is on the Fahrenheit
scale. Yes. you are right-water
freezes at 80 degrees F. But
frozen foods need a storage
temperature that is 80 degrees
below that at which water
freezes-in other words. zero
degrees Fahrenheit. Zero stor-
age temperature maintains the
high quality Of frozen vege-
tables over a period Of time.
1t is the reason the frozen food
storage compartment Of the re-
frigerator or the freezer is made
to maintain zero storage tenn
perature. The ice cube COM
partment which freezes water
for ice cubes is satisfactory for
temporary storage for q few
days-but not for weeks.
United States Department OF
Agriculture scientists recently
reported research on frozen
food storage in which they sub
jected frozen fruits. juices and
vegetables to more abuse than
they are ever likely to receive
in actual handling. This in
volved keeping them in storage
for months in some cases. years
for others. and subjecting GER
tain ones to various tempera-
lures above zero degrees F. for
short and long periods. The
Agriculture Department re-
ported that the foods were
wholesale to eat. but their
flavor and attractiveness were
not comparable with the frozen
foods stored at zero degrees.
These conclusions, Of course,
must not be interpreted as
meaning that frozen foods may
be handled carelessly. Rather,
they should be handled with the
greatest possible care. for with
good handling they bring you

Opposing Proposed
Phone Rate Increase;
Pass Seven Resolutions.

Sussex County Farm Bureau, at
its annual pOlicy-making meeting
in the Lincoln Community House
recently, voted to oppose the pro-
posed telephone rate increase.
Members were urged to attend
the Public Utilities Commission
meeting in Dover, November 6, at
which time the rate increase will
be discussed.
The county organization also
voted to urge Congress to cover
the postal deficit by increasing the
rate on third class mail rather than
by the proposed increase on first
class mail
Included in this resolution was
the following statement: "The
mass of unwanted advertising mat
ter moving through the mails at
bargain rates, is plainly the prime
cause of the U. S. postal deficit
We realize that big business has
and will favor this substituting of
their advertising campaigns from

passed by the members.
The first was to oppose Federal
Aid to schools. The resolution as

High School Stadium.

Donald ICY" Millar's 1857 Mill
ford High School Buccaneers will
formally open their home season
here this evening, Friday, October
IL, at s o'clock, with the redoubt-
able Seaford Blue Jays.
The game will be played under
the lights at the Milford High Sta
dunn, which is generally conceded
to be the largest and best appoint
ed of any high school stadium in
Delaware.
Each team has played a game,
with the Jays" defeating the
stormy Wicomice eleven S3 to 0;
while the "Bucs" in their initial
game lost to the Aberdeen grid
ders" last Saturday afternoon, 13
to 0. The Milford team in losing
this game made many costly err
rors, but they also made many
scoring threats deep in Aberdeen
territory.
The game tonight is expected
to be a good one with both teams
apparently in top notch condition.
Coach Miller has all this week,
with the able assistance Of line
coach Dugan, been attempting to
show his team how to avoid the
mistakes they made at Aberdeen,
and how to capitalize on their good
offensive. 1t is the general belief
that a fighting determined Milford
team will take the field tonight,
and while they are regarded as
"underdogs", Seaford may be in
for some trouble.
All of the home games will be
played at night. The closing game

Wesley Junior

New Grid Team Sm0thers
Naval Proving Ground
FOOtballers IA To O In
Opener.

A revamped Wesley football
team under it's new head Coach,
John Copp, proved beyond a shad-
ow of a doubt that they will be
the greatest edition to ever repre-
sent the Dover school, Saturday
afternoon on their home field.
Scoring in every quarter and
throwing up-~a stone wall on de-
fense, the Whippers burled the
Naval Proving Grounds from Gahl-
gren, Virginia, by a 74-0 score.
This is by far the greatest scor-
ing show ever put on by a Wesley
team and it may be indicative of
things to come, for last years grid
ders could score only 33 points
during the entire season and still
managed to win two ball games.
Mac Mullin, a freshman from
Wilmington, led the scoring parade
with three trips to the end zone
covering 81, II and 40 yards re-
spectively. Ov~. all, Mullin gallop-
ed 95 yards from scrimmage, more
than the entire Navy team.
The first half ran like a cycle
with the Whippets holding for four
downs, receiving a punt and then
going for a score.
The first score came on So
yard punt return by Bob Chevalier,
after the Navy could gain only four
yards from scrimmage. Chevalier
gathered the ball in and raced to
his right where the Whippet for
ward wall cut down the opposition
to leave him a clear path to the
gOal-line.

Carlisle Fire
Company Has
Opened 1857
Fund Drive
Reports To Date Show
Response Is AS Good
Or Better Than Last
Year; New Truck Is
Needed.

The members of the Carlisle
Fire Company of Milford, launched
their 1857 fund raising drive on
Monday of this week, according
to the company president, Dolphus
wilkins.
While it is much too early to
fully ascertain how the drive is
progressing, the chairman for the
drive, Garrett L. Grier, announced
that the initial effort has consisted
of mailing out letters of appeal to
local business houses and indus
tries, the response to date is as
good or better than last year ac-
cording to Mr.. Grier.
The funds drives have been un-
dertaken the last several years in
response to the many citizens, who
came to regard the old method of
raising funds--the Carnival to be
passe. 1t is common knowledge
that the Carnivals took a lot of
money out of the community-this
is not true of the present fund
drives. No agency is hired to make
collections and the money raised
by the volunteer solicitors stays
in the community.
The fire company needs a new
tank truck, thus the major reason
for this years fund drive. The
present tanker" which was built
in 1941, has been used for nearly
sixteen years and has answered
thousands of alarms during that
period, including many in the
rural areas served by Milford
where the terrain is rough and

Crop Sale Boosts
State Farm Income
TwO-Thirds OF Increase Came
From Corn, SOybean Sales

Delaware's gross cash farm in
come rose from 101 million dol
lars in 1856 to nearly 113 million
dollars in 1856, according to a re-
port made recently by Dr. William
Z. Mcdaniel, chairman of the de-
partment of agricultural economics
at the University of Delaware.
Dr. Mcdaniel said the II million
dollar increase was chiefly from
the sale of crops Two-thirds of
the advance came from the sale of
corn, soybeans and potatoes. The
increase in livestock and livestock
product sales was less than one
million dollars.
Gross cash farm receipts in 1856
were the largest since 1851, when
Delaware farmers had receipts of
116 million dollars.
The net farm income of 81 mil
lion dollars in 1856 exceeded the
1855 net income by seven million

of camp life. The expense of such
a program is great, but the benefit
received by the boys is even great
er and we all know it is far better
to send a boy to camp instead of
to court.
Listed below are just few of
the major expenses incurred dur
ing the season just completed when
All boys of our State were guests

$1,250.O0.
The overall operating expenses
mately $4,000 to $25,00O annually
and besides this large amount, ad-
ditiOnal funds are necessary to
keep up with the improvements
that have made Camp Barnes one
of the best boys camp in the East.
During this year alone, over $780,
900 has been spent on building
eleven new camper huts" which
made a large improvement at the
camp. Although a large proportion
of this amount had to be borrowed
by the DACP, we are very hopeful
that the citizens of our State will
soon make it possible for this to be
taken care of by making their do
