A top leader in this Group was
Delaware's own 317th Tank Bat
talon which is commanded by MAJ
or Edwin Kelly. Jr., of Bridgeville,
Delaware. Every city and all but
one or two towns in the State of
Delaware is represented by at least
two or more men. Some Of the
neighboring towns of Maryland are
represented. The 317th Tank Bat
talon is a well-officered, well-Or-
ganized and a well-equipped organ
ization. One of the most important
factors are the well qualified, cap
able NCO's and Men. Fifty percent
of the Battalion's Enlisted Men has
served two or more years in the
Regular Army and many OF these
are veterans of World War ii and
the Korean Conflict.
It is composed of Hq & Svc Co
training weekly at Seaford, Com
pany "A" at Dover, Company "B"
at Fort Mile, Company &C" at Will
mington, and the Medical Detach-
ment at Seaford The Battalion re-
ceived a high performance rating
on all phases of the two weeks
summer training. This includes
Preparation, Operation, Appear
ance, and Military Courtesy. This
is the end result of the fifty week
ly two hours training periods the
Battalion holds. The personnel of
the organization were congratu-
lated for having applied them
selves so diligently during that
time to make this two weeks train
ing period the best one in five
years. Delawareans can we'll be
proud of the 217th Tank battalion

The Acc recently set up 2 soil
and bone sampling program in
North Dakota to try to solve the
puzzle.
Two Explanations
1t is working on two theories.
Dr. John Harley, chief of the an
alytical branch of the Aces Health
and Safety Laboratory, thinks more
radioactive dust has fallen for
some reason around Mandan, N. D.,
where the milk samples come from.
DR.. ]. L. Kulp and DR.. Arthur
Schubert of Columbia University's
Lamont Laboratory, which is do
ing Acc research, think it is due
to calcium shortage in the soil of
that region.
To understand either theory,
you have to start with where the
fadioactivity comes from. Dust
from atomic explosions are car
ried by the winds of the world.
Mixed in with the dust is Stron-
tium 80, created in the atomic ex-
plosions. Strontium 80, if there is
enough of it, can cause bone cancer
and death.
The amount is very important
That is the heart of all the argu-
ments raging on whether atomic
bomb tests are poisoning the
earth.
The measuring stick the Acc
uses is 100 strontium units. Any
thing over that, it says, is danger
Gus. Powdered milk from upstate
New York last August ran just
over 4 units, and from Columbus,
Wis, just under A units. Occasion
al milk samples from abroad have
been around the New York figure.
Powdered milk from Mandan -
which is sold as animal food and
not for human consumption-last
August showed over 80 units, how
ever.
The strontium count varies a
great deal from month to month
because bomb testing comes in
patches. In January, 1857, Man
dan showed IA units, Harley said.
Last December, the latest figure
available, it was 201 units.
In the two years the Acc has
been studying Mandan, the count
has always been higher than New
York's and unusually at least twice
the New York figure, Harley said.
DR.. Harley says the radioactive
fallout starting last summer was
higher in the northern central part
of the United States, and that the
area around Mandan may have
gotten a concentration which show

Delaware Food Market
Report
By Anne HOlbertOn
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

Buying meat with economy in
mind seems to be a pronounced
trend. More and more people are
buying the cheaper cuts" of meats
such as chuck roast, beef chuck
steaks, and arm Swiss steaks.
Economy cuts of lamb and pork
are also moving faster. These eco
nomy cuts can be just as tasty and
just as tender, when cooked prop
erIy, as the more expensive steaks
and roasts This weekend, look
for specials on some steaks, ground
meat, beef roasts and on many cuts
of lamb. Remember when you are
looking over the meats at the meat
counter, don't overlook the cheap
er cuts" of meat, they often offer
you" your best buy.
Chicken again heads the list of
best buys. The low price on
frying chickens helps keep the
total cost of protein foods down.
When selecting chicken this week,
look for the top quality ones, the
ones that have a bright and fresh
general appearance, with a plump,
good meaty look.
Watermelons are selling in a
price range between CSC to $1.39
depending on size and chilling.
Many stores that sell chilled mel
ons add a penny or so on to the
price fer this service. However
you buy your melon, be sure TO buy
them often because they are truly
a good buy in every sense of the
word The flavor is as it should be,
sweet-the meat is tender-what
more could we ask for with prices
so low. Don't forget now is the
time to freeze melon balls for win
ter use, and don't throw away the
rinds--more watermelon pickle
from them.
More and more peaches are
reaching local markets. For those
of you who can and freeze be sure
to check your equipment, and be
ready for the peak of the peach sea-
son its not too far away. This
weekend, look for specials on
fresh peaches-3 lbs. for 25c.
There are many vegetables on
the good buy list this week. here
are a few of tnem-new potatoes,
corn, carrots. lettuce, cabbage, GU
cumbers, green peppers, squash
and beets. Local stores are now
getting vine ripened tomatoes from
New Jersey, however. the price is
still relatively high, but the favor
is wonderful. In a week or so the
supply of vine ripe tomatoes should
be much larger and will continue
to increase until tomatoes reach
their peak during the first week in
September.

ed up in the August milk.
Against this theory, however, are
last years Acc figures for rainfall
analysis from Vermillion, S. D.,
roughly 400 miles southeast of
Mandan, which showed lower
amounts of strontium than New
York.
The soil theory favored by Drs.
Kulp and Schubert goes like this:
Strontium resembles ca C u m.
(That's how it gets into 3growing
bones.l Grasses grown in soil lack
ing calcium take up more stronti-
um than they would if calcium was
not scarce. Cows eat the grass.
Strontium turns up in the milk.
If this theory is any good. North
Dakota will show low calcium soil
samples and bone samples in the
area will show higher strontium
count than elsewhere.
Kulp went to Grand Forks, N. D.,
recently to set up arrangements
for soil and bone samples to be sent
his laboratory. Schubert thinks an
alysis of bones, obtained from
autopsies through local authori-
ties, will show a much higher
strontium count than from 80 test
ing stations in the United States
and other parts of the world
Conflicting Evidence
Harley, however, says he analy-
zed soil samples from the Mandan
area two years ago and found it
was not low in calcium. Harley
also said samples of vegetation
grown around Mandan, which is
across the Missouri River from the
state capitol of Bismarck, showed
about the same level of strontium
as New York at that time.
Acc officials pointed out they
had not singled out Mandan milk
as a possible source of dangerous
strontium. Their various tests are
designed to show the level OF ra-
dioactive fallout in an area.
In the beginning it was assumed
that strontium blown into the up
per air would sift down more or
less evenly all over the world
More recently it has been learned
that since rain takes dust, radio
active or otherwise, out of the air,
the parts of the world with heavier
rainfalls get more strontium. The
northern United States gets more
fallout than the rest of the nation
because of this weather pattern.
The amount, however, is still mea-
surably only in most minute guam
titles.
