Many Homes Are Inadequately
Wired for Modern Electric
Appliances

More and more household
chores, from dishwashing to
clothes-drying, are being should
cred by electrical servants. And
through air conditioners and radio
and TV sets, those kilowatts are
providing a lot in the way of
comfort and entertainment too.
But many homeowners are dis
covering that their houses are in
adequately wired to handle the
extra load of appliances, says M
Katharine Jones, New Castle
County home demonstration
agent.
Blowing fuses, fiickering lights,
and shrinking TV pictures when
additional electrical appliances
are turned on are all signs that
circuits are overloaded.
For safety's sake, call in an
electrical contractor when this
occurs, Miss Jones advises. Don't
use heavier than Is ampere fuses
unless your circuits are built to
handle them. And never use a
coin to establish contact after a
fuse has blown. Fuses and circuit
breakers operate on the basis OF
flow of electric current. Excess
flow of current not broken by a
fuse or circuit breaker causes
heat greater than insulation on
wires can resist. The overheated
wires can easily cause a fire.
If your house needs additional
wiring, it will pay you to take
care of this need promptly. AL
appliances will work more effici-
emily and satisfactorily and they
may use less electric current tc
do the same work. Cost of wiring
is small compared to the safety
and convience of a properly wired
home.

Two distinct phases have marked the United
States rocket weapon program. The first began
toward the end Of World War II when the partial
success Of German vi and Va rockets stimulated
thinking along similar lines here. At the wars end.
there a kind Of grab-all by the Allies for Ger
man rocket scientists and both the United States
and the Soviet Union picked up many experienced
men combination Of German brains and Amer
lean technology went into the production Of the
first Of a series Of exploratory missiles. which we
began sending aloft In 1851. But long,
missiles considered military duds because they
cost too much TO deliver given amount Of destruc
ton as compared with conventional bombers. So
the missile development program especially on
larger weapons. Jagged.
Phase two began with what has been called the
thermometer breakthroueh" Of 1852 This
the creation Of the H-bomb. whose destructive
capacity a wider area than an A-bomb made
unnecessary the pinpoint accuracy previously
aimed for This made 1t possible TO reduce consider
ably the size Of ong-range missiles and thence
forth the program was really airborne.
As men. money and materials began pouring
into big missile programs. similar resources were
put to work on smaller rocket-powered vehicles.
All together the United States has five categores Of
missiles under development: air-to-air. air-to-sur-
face. arto underwater surface-to-a air. and surface
to-surface And while competition for missile ex-
pense accounts between the military services has
been hot and heavy. there has been a large degree
Of cooperation between them, as witness the
ordinate work Of the Holloman Air Force Base and
the Army's White Sands Proving Grounds next door.
