Clean Seed
With spring just around the
corner many of you are probably
thinking of seeding time.
One of the most important
items in raising a crop is the
type of seed your going to use.
Weeds have become quite d
pest and will continue to do SO
if the seed you put back in the
ground is not clean.
We have many reputable certi-
fled seed producers in the county.
1t pays to buy good clean seed
that has been tagged, whether it
IS small grain, corn or grass.
1t may cost a little more to
invest in a tagged seed, but in
the long run this investment pays
off. Not only is your weed con-
troll expense cut, but you have
a seed which is tested for ger
mination.
It's like buying a car; you
check several types before you
decide which you pick.
The same should apply to seed
since it's your livelihood.
+*#
Production Sires
Bull sales are becoming the
mode for the next couple of
months in and around our coun-
ty.
When buying a bull what does
a buyer look for to help him I'M
prove his herd.
For one thing he wants a sire
that is as good, but if possible,
better than his COW herd. This
helps him produce offspring that
will make good replacement
The Sidney herald., 1957-03-21

stock.
Next he will try and buy q
bull that will overcome SOM
faults that are a history in his
herd. An excellently quartered
bull or a strong top line are some
examples.
Then he will try to obtain one
that is efficient. OF course, one
that has an index certificate is
an excessory which is worth its
money.
Now it may take a little more
money to acquire "a sire of this
type for your herd, but if he
does the job keep him until he
can't walk and he'll o than
pay for himself.

Three special polio inocula-
ton clinics have been set up
by the District Health Depart
ment in an attempt to I'M
munize "a large number of pre-
school children who have not
been inoculated." the Health
Department announced today.
DR.. Daniel Leo Finucane
health director, noting that the
District has had eight polio
cases reported to date this
year. was to talk on television
and radio tonight in an appeal
to parents to make sure all
children have been inoculated
with the Salk vaccine.
A survey Of the downtown
neighborhoods where the eight
cases have been reported re-
vealed a large number Of pre-
school children who have not
been given even the first OF
the series of three shots, the
Health Department said.

Prenatal Clinic
Rules Eased

The District today moved to
combat the infant mortality
rate by easing residence rules
for admission to the city's pre-
natal clinics.
The Commissioners approved
a Health Department recon-
mendation to drop the one-year
residence hitherto required of
expectant mothers waiting care
in the departments two clinics.
Clinic service will still be
restricted to persons living in
the District. however.
DR.. Frederick c. Heath,
deputy health director. told the
city heads that District General
Hospital now is delivering many
babies whose mothers have had
no advance medical care what
ever.
Half of the 5000 mothers
whose babies are being deliv-
cred there annually are admit
ted without prenatal care. he
said.
He and DR.. Ella Oppenheimer,
chief of the departments
Bureau of Child and Maternal
Health. said this situation con-
tributes not only to the high
death rate but to the birth of
many children with handicaps.
The city has a prenatal
clinic at the District General
Hospital and recently opened
second one at the Gales
Health Center. IS Massachu-
sets avenue NV.
At one time the department
operated eight prenatal clinics.
but the program was curtailed
because of lack Of funds.
DR.. Oppenheimer said she
doubted that the two present
clinics would be able to offer
help to all needing it, but for
the present the department
plans to operate the expanded
program without seeking addi-
tional personnel or funds.
Infant mortality in the Dis
trict last year totaled 3l.l
deaths per 1000 live resident
births. Negroes had 376
deaths per 1000 compared to
24.4 for whites. This involves
youngsters up to the age of l
year.
DR.. Heath said recent
study showed the Districts in
FAINT mortality greater than
that in IL Of IA major cities.

A House Appropriation Sub
committee today called James
r. Durfee. Civil Aeronautics
Board chairman, to explain
why Friendship Airport has
not been used as a temporary
landing field for Washington
traffic during the past year.
Mr.. Durfee insisted that his
board has no authority to COM
pei airlines to use Friendship.
An order to switch air traffic
to the field near Baltimore
would be legal only after a
finding that air carriers had
failed to provide adequate serv-
ice for Washington at National
Airport, he said.
The decision cannot be
reached before next June, Mr..
Durfee told Chairman Thomas
of Texas.
The Congressman said he is
satisfied that the CAB is do
ing all it can to cooperate with
Congress" in easing Washing
tons crowded air channels.
His committee has pressed Mr..
Durfee to open Friendship, at
least temn0rarilv
Mr.. Durfee said the CAB has
been involved in an inveStiga-
ton Of Friendship since July,
1856. when Commerce Secre-
tary Weeks asked for the probe.
Shortly afterwards, the board
invited all IA air carriers serv-
ing Washington to ask to land
planes at Friendship. This
kind of voluntary request
could have been honored by the
CAB. Mr.. Durfee said.
None of the IA accepted. "
Mr.. Durfee said. Our invita-
ton is still open"
But he stressed that is is
quite obvious" that none of
the IA carriers want to go to
Friendship and that none will
go unless they are compelled
to do so.

cities Of Baltimore and WASH

HobbyHorse
SufetyCheck
Begins Here

The District today began q
widespread inspection of poten-
TALLY dangerous electrical hobby
horses in public places.
The coin-operated horses,
along with boats, jet planes
and miniature autos designed
for children's use, are being
checked to see whether they
meet minimum safety require
mentS.
The move began after an
investigation in Westchester
County. N. Y. showed that only
70 per cent of such machines
there were safe.
A Westminster County child
was electrocuted recently In a
rockinghorse device at a super
market.
Julian Belts. chief of the
Districts Field Inspections
Branch of the Department of
Licenses and Inspections, said
the amusement devices will be
checked thoroughly. He pointed
out that at present the ma
chimes need not be licensed or
inspected. because they are
considered in the category of
portable appliances like radios
or vacuum cleaners.
But, he said, I'VE will try to
see If the machines now in use
have adequate safeguards such
as proper electrical groundings
or we will notify owners to have
them fixed"
Mr.. Belts said that the 10
electrical inspectors in his de-
partment have been told to
keep their eyes open for ma
chimes anywhere in the city
and to check them for safety.
The machines are operated by
merchants throughout the city,
including supermarkets, de-
partment stores. parking lots,
barber, shops and drug stores.

THE FIRM has had a
Washington office in the
Bond Building since last
Thanksgiving, and the Ram
bier was introduced to an at
tractive young woman named
Lavina Cornish, who runs it
with the help of two as
sistants.
The biggest business here
is providing executive ste
nographerS to work at con-
ventions. They get So an
hour, and the markup is Al
per cent; that is, if one
worked 40 hours, Manpower,
Inc, would pay her $50 and
bill the convention $50 plus
al per cent, which is 1920.
1t is not as profitable to the
firm as that would indicate.
The social security tax, the
income tax, insurance on the
. Job and bonding costs are
paid out Of the Al per cent
markup.
Her biggest contract was
providing 30 clerks to help
on Acacia Life Insurance's
annual report. She has pro-
vided men to count traffic
on highways adjacent to
sites proposed as shopping
centers.
Government workers are
not under the Social Security
System; they have a better
retirement setup. But many
will qualify for social security
benefits also by working for
private firms during their
annual leave and nights and
Sundays.
There's a lot of loneliness

Seek Officials Views
Still awaited is a report from
experts at the Library Of Con-
gress on how other large cities
are meeting their problems of
water supply.
The subcommittee also wants
to get reactions from several
officials. including David Aud,
director Of the Department Of
Sanitary Engineering Of the
District. and william H. Cary,
jr.. acting director of the Blu
reau of Food and Public Health
Engineering Of the District De-
partment of Public Health.
Already under study is the
report of the National Capital
Planning Commission objecting
for a number of reasons to
use Of the Loughboro road tract
for hospital purposes.
One reason was that the area
eventually will be needed for
District water facilities. An
other was that a portion of
the area might be needed for
approach roads. connecting with
a proposed high-level bridge
over the Potomac in the Little
Falls area. other reasons given
by the commission were that
there would be an adverse eff
feet on private homes in the
area and that there are in

facilities to serve a hospital at
this location.

he said he would like to have
that comment withheld until he
had time to make a technical
review of the action Of the

cation he might change his OPP
position to the Burke airport
site.
Hollands View Unchanged
Perhaps more Importantly.
the chairman Of the special
airport subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, Senator Holland, Democrat
of Florida, said he had not
changed his mind, meaning he
wanted first to see a trial Of
use Of Friendship Information
al Airport.
Senator Holland was taken a
little by surprise by the House
action. But he maintained there
are some alternatives not yet
tried. He mentioned Friendship
and the Anacostia and Boiling
bases and an alternative site
at Chantilly. Va.
There are too many things

pending" to force any immed-
late decision. he said.
Senator Holland protested
that no effort had been made
to comply with suggestions of
alternative solutions to the
Washington airport congestion
problem.
Opposes Authority
He said he thought any plan
for creating a new local author
ity over this area was both I'M
wise and untImely. He added it
would be lin callous disregard"
of some of those things con-
corning the people Of this area.
The whole appropriation
measure approved by the House
yesterday was made up mostly
of Defense Department items,
1t also included $3.7 million in
supplemental funds for the
District, $413,000 less than was
requested by city heads.
A total of $2.4 million is
contained in the measure to

within the next few weeks to
decide what to do.
On the Senate side there
have been suggestions that it
might be wise to postpone a
decision until next January.
Against this is the plea of
spokesman for Sibley Hospital
for some decision before Con-
gress adjourns because hospital
authorities want to know
whether they can count on the
Loughboro site or proceed with
construction of the plant on
the grounds of American Uni
versity.
