Delaware Food
Market Report
BY ANNE HoLBERToN
Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Delaware

Sharp winds and crisp air are
here and with them has come an
increased supply of pork. Prices
tumbled on such things as fresh
pork roast, chops, shoulder roast
and also bacon. Most prices lost
&c to 4c on a pound so look around
and shop wisely.
Fresh hams are not dropping in
price, but some smoked shoulders
are. Beef will be on the bargain
counter also this weekend. Look
for good buys on chuck roast sir
loiu and porterhouse steaks and
ground meat AS far as lamb goes,
look for a price drop on lamb
chops and in some stores leg-of-
lamb.
Poultry remains low in price.
The quality is excellent and for as
little as sec you can give the fami-
ly a beautiful golden brown fried
chicken for dinner. Turkey sup
plies are still increasing and prices
remain relatively low, the best buy
being among the heavy birds. There
is tendency toward increasing
prices on the small Beltsville-type
turkey which are relatively scarce
right now.

Safety Council News

Forty-fve plants and labora-
tories of the go in all parts of Del
aware taking part in the Inter
Plant Safety Contest went through
the first nine months of this year
without a lost time accident, it
was announced yesterday by the
Delaware Safety Council.
The 92 plants and laboratories
had a total of 173 lost time acci-
dents in the nine months, while
81 ,274 employees worked a total OF
47,6S6,031 man hours, it was re-
ported by Francis j. Jamison, the
Councils assistant manager. The
accident frequency rate for the
nine months was 1858, little high
er than the frequency rate OF 3.43
for the first eight months. The rate
is one million times the number OF
lost time accidents, divided by the
hours worked.
The 173 accidents resulted in
23.O17 days lost in the nine
months. The total of days lost,
multiplied by one million and di-
vided by the hours worked pro-
duced the accident severity rate.
For the nine months it was 482.6S,
a decrease from the rate of 525.42
for the first eight months, but still
above the rate of 1888 for all of
1856. Two deaths-figured at 5000
days lost each-increased the Feb
ruary and March figures and affect
the cumulative record.
In September-final month of
the period-there were 20 lost
time accidents among S0,777 en-
ployes working 4,745, ,453 man hours.
A total of IS plants reported no
accidents in the month. The days
lost in September came to 43O and
the severity rate was 9O.61 below
the August rate of 98.17.
Many of the plants and labOra-
tories taking part in the contest
have long records with no acci-
dents. In the latest report, the
longest record is again that of the
Dupont Company's Elastomers
Laboratory, which has 339 success
sive accident-free months.
The plants and laboratories TAX
ing part in the contest are in firms
and government agencies in all
parts of Delaware, and they include
small as we'll as large units. The
contest, Mr.. Jamison explained, is
one of many means used by the
Safety Council to promote safety
at work. and to call attention to
the need for constant vigilance tC
prevent accidents at home, al
work, and on the highways.
Among the Kent and Sussex
County units in the contest with
accident free records so far this
year, with the number of no-acci-
dent consecutive months for each
are: DUPONT Company, SeaforC
Plant, 19; State Highway Depart
ment, Kent County, Is; Libby, Nc.

For Sussex
County HOmemakers
By Miss Frances ShOffner,
Home Demonstration Agent


Homemakers, fit your feet with
lifting shoes at fitting" times.
Fitting shoes are the right size
not too short, tight or shaped
wrong. They'll keep bunions, corns,
calluses and blisters from forming
on your feet.
Fitting" times concerns wearing
correct shoes for the occasion.
Shoes that might look best aren't
always best for your feet. For ex-
ample, you wouldn't wear party
shoes for housewOrk-or wise ver-
sa.
Stand when being measured for
your next pair of shoes, since your
feet can measure a whole size
larger than when you're sitting.
Then walk with both new shoes
on to test the fit and to see that
the widest part of your feet fit into
the widest part of the shoes.
You'll want shoes that bend
where your feet bend and shoes
that keep your heels from slipping.
Buy the best shoes you can af-
ford, and have at least two pairs
50 you can change every day.
When you change shoes daily, they
wear longer, look better and keep
their shape after several repair
jobs.
Socks and stockings should be
roOmy, or skin and delicate foot
structure can be damaged. AS a
test for size, pull out the toes of
those you're wearing for One-half
inch. Then stand, checking to see
If your feet fill the toes of the
socks smoothly without stretching
the fiber.
If your feet are particularly tir-
ed at night, try foot baths. First
use hot water, then cold to aid cir
culatiOn and bring relaxation.

Dead End in Virqiiniio

1t was foregone conclusion that the
Supreme Court would refuse to review
the rulings in the Arlington and Char
lotteSville school cases. Now there will be
more litigation. But it is almost equal
ly certain that, in the end the last of the
States legal barriers to indignation Will
fall
The principal remaining features of
the So-called Stanley package are the
pupil placement plan, which takes pupil
assignments out of the hands of local
school boards, and the threat to withhold
State funds from any locality which inte-
CRATES school. A Federal Judge in Nor
folk has already ruled that the placement
plan is unconstitutional on its face-a
ruling which has been appealed to the
Fourth Circuit Court But because the
placement plan is tied in with other pro-
visions designed to maintain segregation.
it has hardly any chance of surviving a
final decision.
In the end, in Virginia communities
where the issue is forced, it will be nee
essary either to integrate or to close the
schools. No doubt some communities will
prefer the latter course. But this GER
tainly is not true of Arlington and we
do not believe it is true of Charlottesville
and many other areas where public opin-
ion will tolerate some reasonable degree
of indignation.
These communities will be the vic
tins of the decision of the Virginia au-
thorities to take a stand in opposition to
any indignation anywhere. For this posi-
ton cannot be maintained, and in the
meanwhile considerable damage may be
done to the school system.

On Knowing Too Much

The Archbishop Of Canterbury has
said nothing new in declaring that the
world would be happier place if people
did not know as much as they do But
his observation is nonetheless to the
point at a time when the papers are
full of stories about the marvels of mans
inventiveness-and full, also, of adver-
tiSements offering fabulous jobs to young
college graduates who may be gifted with
what it takes to build gadgets like flying
SaucerS, earth satellites or Spaceships for
lnterplanetary travel to such implausibe
vacation hideaways as Mars and the
moon.
Who can doubt that the Archbishop
Is right? Who can look back on the more
or less recent past, when the automobile
was relatively rare and when a primitive
thing like radio was Wondrous new de-
velopment, without feeling that he would
be better off if human genius had never
been able to advance beyond the crystal
set or the old crank-it-up Tin Lizzie?
Who can brood in his bed at night,
visualizing the potentialities of atomic
weapons, hydrogen bombs, super-iet
planes and instruments like interconti-
mental ballistic missiles, without wishing
that the mind of man had been alto
gether incapable of improving upon the
bow and arrow, the horse drawn vehicle
or the most ancient type of sailing vessel?
Alas, though, it is idle for anybody
to ask either himself or others questions
OF this sort. For life is life, progress is
progress, reality is reality, and the simple
fact is that man has plumbed the secrets
of nature to point where inventiveneSs
proceeds at an ever-increasing pace that
takes the breath away and makes the
mind reel. Yet as the Archbishop Of
Canterbury has noted, none of this has
added to the sum total of human happi-
ness.
Indeed, all OF us seem sometimes to
have grown much too smart for our own
good or for the worlds good, and we must
therefore hearken respectfully to EccleSi-
aSteS' warning in the Old Testament "He
that increaSeth knowledge increaSeth Sor-
row." And we must ponder, too the fol-
lowing words from a long-ago poet named
Francis QuarleS:
KnoWiedgc ulcn miSdOm is too Wcak
10 duidc her
Is Ike q heddStrouo horse. that HromS
the rider.
Ignorance, of course, may not be bliss
IN all particulars. But in this day and
age, as the Archbishop of Canterbury has
suggested, there is much to be said in its
favor-enough so to indicate that Samuel
Butler may have been on the right track
IN "EreWhon" when he wrote favorably
OF Colleges of Unreason, where people
would go to be taught how to unlearn
everything.

Love Finds q Woy

1t is good to know that the Communist
government of Czechoslovakia has at
last yielded to Cupid and his little bow
and arrow. After weeks of hard hearted
refusal, it has now softened a bit and
agreed to let pretty Olga Fikotova marry
the redoubtable Harold Connolly and fly
away with him to his home in capital

TWO young lovers, both Olympic stars.
seemed fated TO be parted forever by
the Iron Curtain, or more specifically
by the Prague regimes apparent deci-
sion that she as a Czech and he as an
American could not wed without causing
an theological upheaval roughly compa-
rable to Titoism. But today their story is
altogether different; Prague has relented,
and so they arc up in the clouds again.
What is TO be credited for this?
Harold's ardor, which remained ahame
despite the icy attitude Of the Commu-
nistS? Olga's fearful pleas, which we're
heard round the world? Or some second
thoughts by the Prague government,
which may have found international
tempers rising against its sour OPPOSE
ton to romance? AS far as answers 20,
one guess may be as good as another,
but 1t is pleasant to imagine that the
real explanation is that Cupid himself
has slain the Red totalitarian dragon.
Anyhow, laughing at lockSmithS, love
IN this instance has once again con-
