Political Club Gets
Civil Minded

The Kent County Women's Dem
ocratic Club Eset on Thursday, No
vember 20 in the ee1rt house in
Dover at 5 .. m. with the presi-
dent, Mrs. Ruth Haas III Smyrna,
presiding. A very good crowd was
in attendance and after the routine
club affairs were discussed, the
members made plans for their an
nual project. a Christmas party in
the Davies Cottage at the Hospi-
tai for the Mentally Retarded at
Stockley. Last year was the clubs
first venture in this field, but after
visiting this particular cottage last
fal and consulting with the staff
on the needs at the holiday season
it was decided that we take a
Christmas treat of good things to
the patients and also a donation
in money was given to be used as
the staff saw fit, and it was later
learned the money was used to
buy sweaters needed by the pa
tients of the Davies Cottage.
The patients in this cottage num-
ber about so females ages ranging
from to 20 ygals-it was crafty
ing to know that we could bring SO
much cheer to a group of patients,
that the club decided to make an
annual project OF this. A motion
was made at Thursdays meeting
that the Kent County Women's
Club send the Davies Cottage at
CtockIov a chaek for 500 90 tn he
used as the staff saw fit as they
know the needs of each patient
much better than we do. Any
member of the club wishing to con-
tribute to this worthy cause may
do SO by sending their donation to
the clubs treasurer, Mrs. Loretta
Clarke, KentOn.

Buying Cows
Without Records

If a dairy farmer wants to buy
some cows and no production rec
ords are available on these ami
mails, the buyer should use a fair
standard to measure the animals
potential.
DIR. George Haenlein, dairy re-
search associate at the University
OF Delaware, cites a recent Cali
fornia study which shows that
there Is correlation between
dairy type, and milk and butterfat
production.
The type classification used in
that study was broken down into
four categories: general appear
ance, dairy character, body ca
pacity and mammary system.
Haenlein says a dairynan needs
to know how to classify dairy
cows for their milking potential.
Judging schools are held by sew
eral breed organizations each year
and a dairyman can only gain by
attending such meetings.
For example, training schools
were held at Vaughn Ginn's farm
and at Horace Woodward's farm,
both near Middletown, last sum-
mer and both were well attended.
They showed how little some dairy
men know about judging dairy
character in COW.
When a farmer goes out to buy
COWS with onlysa foggy idea about
the characteristics of a good pro-
ducing cow, he may lose lot of
money in a hurry.
1t will be good for every dairy
man to keep in mind, DR.. Haen-
lein said, that good type and high
production go hand in hand and
the selection OF good COW can
be made safely on the basis Of the
dairy characteristics when pro-
duction records are not available.

Veterans Administration
Information Service
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q-Is there a deadline for filing a
claim fof disability cofnpensa-
ton with VA?
is no deadline. A veteran
may apply any time. However,.
an eligible veteran applying
within year from the date of
his release from service may
have his payments back-dated
to the day following his re-
lease from service. A veteran
who applies after he has been
been out of service one year
may be paid only from the
date his application was fled
Q-Can disabled Korea veteran
getting military retired pay re-
ceive vocational rehabilitation
training from VA?
Ayes. Receipt of military retired
pay does not affect the eligi-
.bility Of a Korea veteran with
a service-cornected disability
to take vocational rehahilita-
tion training. He must, how
ever, need the training to over
come his handicap; his. dis
charge must have been under
conditions other than dis
honorable; and his disability
must be such as would entitle
him to VA compensation if he
were not receiving military re-
tired pay.
GA neighbor of ours, who is on
VAS pension rolls, is entitled
to an additional amount OF
money because he is so help
less he needs constant aid and
attention. Will he receive his
additional allowance even
though his mother provides the
aid?
A-Yes. He may receive additional
allowance even though mem
ber of his family provides tbs
necessary services. It is not
necessary for him to hire an
outside attendant in order *
qualify for the payments.
Q-It rained so much last month
that 1 didn't receive any flight
training in the course / an
taking under the Korean CT
Bill. Will still get paid my
CT allowance for that month";
will not receive any al
lowance. Under the law, al
lowances may not be paid for
any month during which CT
flight trainees receive no in
struction.

Milford New Century
Club News

All teachers in the Milford
Schools were invited on Monday
evening to a reception given in
their honor by the Milford New
Century Club and took place in
the club rooms at eight o'clock.
Mrs. John Longbotham, president,
welcomed the guests and with the
members extended the welcoming
hand to those who came for the
get-acquainted time. Mrs John E.
Burris, club chairman of educa-
ton, planned the exceptionally en-
jOyable meeting which made pos
sible an excellent opportunity for
the teachers of many of the chill
dren of the members to meet their
instructors for the first time. Some
of the instructors, being new, were
given a very fine short history of
early Milford by Miss Catherine
Downing, who could point to an in
teresting map of the town, and ex-
plain the location of the oldest
part, the oldest homes, as we'll as
naming a number of the important
men of the early history and their
contribution to that era. Those
hearing Miss Downing felt better
acquainted with the town of their
present adoption. 1t was a relaxed
evening for all, since the holiday
of Tuesday gave the guests feel
ing of freedom for the time. The
decorations for the club room were
in keeping with fall and the tea
table where refreshments were
served was a congenial meeting
place for all. Mrs. Leslie Dobson
poured, Mrs. Benjamin Orkin with
a committee were responsible for
the fall decorations. Each guest
was pinned upon entrance so that
Who's Who" was easily defined.
1t was most enjoyable evening
and one that may be repeated an
other year.
In the afternoon workshop was
conducted by members in prepara-
tion for the evening. A business
meeting preceded the workshop.
Mrs. John Forrest read the Tooth
Psalm and lead the repition of the
Lords Prayer for the devotions.

tracts, Kent County Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation Com
mittee Chairman, Joseph w. Ennis
reports that total of 122 farmers
have filed applications to place 1875
acres of land in this Soil Bank pro-
gram.
Following an analysis of the ap-
plications as required by Soil Bank
regulations, including a physical
check of farms for which crop
land has been offered for the pro-
gram, successful farmers will be
notified that 1859 Conservation Re-
serve contracts are available for
signature. Farmers also will be
notified in cases where applications
cannot be accepted, usually because
Of insufficient funds.
The farmer who is offered a Con-
servation Reserve contract will
have Is days from the mailing date
of the notice to sign his contract
at the county ASC Office. The con-
tract will obligate the farmer to
keep specified land on his farm out
of production and under conserva-
tion practices for a period of up
to ten years.
Chairman Ennis said that while
national totals are not yet avail
able, preliminary reports from GER
tain areas of the county indicate

which had early closing dates for
receiving applications report that
acreage offered by farmers was
much in excess of the established
goals. Both Utah and Missouri re-
ceived offers for about three times

accent. Wisconsin, with a goal of
$4,000 acres of cropland, received

Murderous Beliefs

CONTINUED from page one)
say, "I'll still be all right"
3. The idea that accidents are
the price of progress.
We often excuse accidents by
saying the increased number of
"gadgets' make them happen. This
is not truel Every new develop
ment from the wheel to the atom
bomb could and should be a boon
to mankind if used properly. They
can all become Frankensteins if
misused.
4. The idea that trying to live
safely is cowardly, or being a sis
sy. This too is obviously not true.
Our forefathers have made this the
safest place in the world to live.
We need to make it still safer.
5. The idea that accidents hap
pen when your number is up and
not before.
We all pretend not to be super
stitious, yet watch your actions
closely for one whole day. You'll
find many acts based upon super
stitutiom Don't let superstition
control your actions or displace
your good sense and proper judg-
ment.
6. The idea that accidents are
an "Act of God" Often in our fail
ure to explain an accident or by
our attempts to- be kind, we say
the accident was an Act of God. :
Nothing could be further from the
truth. God is not responsible for
the accidents, the blame usually
rests with us.
We need to believe that:
1. Accidents can happen to US
we are usually their cause.
2. There are odds, but we don't
know which we are. If we bet our
life, we must be ready and willing
to lose it.
8. True progress involves free
dom from accidents, the safe living
of people.
4. Accidents happen because of
the breaking of a natural law, not
because our number is up.
5. The Accident Fool" is un-
true to any ideal. 1t is true hu
manitarianism to work to make our
environment a safer place in which
to live.
6. Accidents are the result of
our own actions and not an "Act
of God"
These last six beliefs should be
substituted for the first.
