I'm THE AIR FORCE"
By Elaine townsend Dlekarson

ed. our baby sitter came without
incident, Hayes came in the living
room and said. Elaine. viii Won
go to the dance without me?" He
was so sick he could hardly make
it tc the bedroom.
Hated to leave Hayes and vet I
hated not to take the Richardson's
after we had talked about Les 40
much. We were in the ballroom
about 80 minutes when John walk-
ed me to the bandstand during a
take five" and we conversed with
the man himself. / told Les. Hayes
was sick and was unable to come
and "let me Introduce you to DR..
John Richardson" It was finn
a'atching .ne YOUNG dancers and
listening to good music, but the
rest of the evening I wondered
what Les Brown thought of me
leaving my good husband at home
sick and coming to the dance with
another man. Before we left I
made sure he met Johns wife!
It is a cool $50 here In Topeka
this afternoon. It's been an ex-
ceptional summer - since there
hasn't been one day when tile mer-
curry hit the 1907 mark and In
Kansas that. : is just unheard of.
Makes flying more beara0le. The
crews almost melt from exhaustion
when they have to pre-fiight their
planes in such intense heat. If it's
a hot day there just isn't any
place hotter than the flight line
where the planes are parked and
pre-fiight check takes at least an
hour. Hayes is flying a mission
tonight and it looks like cool and
no adverse weather.
Pleasant Labor Day weekend to

Goals For Dairymen
BY w. T. McAIlister

Extension Farm Management
Specialist, University of Delaware
Farmers should set up goals that
they are striving for. don't mean
shoot for the moon, but rather to
set up something above present
performance levels, but also some
thing that can be reached. Once
you reach the goal you simply set
yourself another goal and start
all over again.
l think realistic goal for. the
full time dairyman is 250,000 to
100000 pounds of four percent
milk for every worker per year,
Some have reached this level but
the average dairyman in Delaware
is well below this level of eff
cheney.
Because it is difficult for some
farmers who have a diversified
farming program to figure milk
per man, another goal might be
$425 to $500 gross sales per cow.
One common goal used in dairy
production is milk per cow. ]
believe the goal might well be
10000 pounds of four percent milk
per animal. That doesn't mean
that you should sell every ami
nal in your herd that produced
less than that.
Cows that produced only 5000
pounds of milk probably made you
some money last year, but if the
feed and labor that went into the
low producer had been put into a
COW producing 10000 pounds, the
net income from tire cow would
have been about six times as
great
Remember, it costs very little
more to house. care for, and milk
a high producing cow than poor
one. Of course, cows that produce
a lot OF milk consume lot OF
feed, but usually the extra milk
will more than pay for the extra
costs.
The easiest way to make good
income from your dairy farm is to
have cows that have the breeding
and capacity to produce larger
quantities of milk. Then with good
care and management, get the best
out of these cows.

Agent Suggests
Emergency Silo

An emergency silo has been rec
commended by County Agricultural
Agent William H. Henderson as a
good way to handle additional sill
age for the dairy or beef herd this
winter.
The emergency silo could work
especially well for farmers who
don't have a regular silo and are
faced with the need for extra feed
this year
Corn or other forage will keep
year-round in an emergency silo,
providing the fodder is kept seal
ed tight, Henderson said, in. ex-
planning how to do the job.
First the forage is chopped up
as usual, then stacked on the
ground in a pile about six feet
deep and 10 to Is feet wide. You
can build the pile by the truck
load, the agricultural agent ad-
vised. AS each load is added, ii
should be packed down tight BY
running the truck over it. Keep
ing the end of the pile sloped will
allow the truck to run up on top.
When all the silage is on the
pile, cover it with a large sheet
of polyethylene plastic, say 20 by
10O-foot size, now being used 70.
such purposes. Dig a trench all
around the forage, and bury the
edges of the plastic close to thu
pile. This is done to keep air out
To hold the plastic down on the
surface of the pile. the agent salt

When feeding. peel back one end o.
the plastic, keeping the cover tigh
on the rest of the pile.
Mr.. Henderson said that good re
suits will be had with a. bale
straw siIo if it's big enough an,
reinforced with wire. A baled
straw bunker also will work well
This type has two walls abou

Col. Ferguson Issues
Labor Day Statement

In a statement this Week, Col.
John p. Ferguson, Supt. of the Dell
aware State Police, discussed the
traffic situation for the coming
Labor Day weekend holiday, which
will be the final such holiday period
for the present summer season.
In his statement, Col. Ferguson
said in part: This year the Labor
Day holiday period officially begins
at p. m. Friday and ends at mid
night next Monday During this
period it is expected a record num-
of motorists will take advantage
of the last summer holiday week
end and it is the intention of the
state police to assure the citizens
using the highways of being able
to arrive at their destination and
return home without becoming in
volved in serious traffic accident.
You may recall in 1867 over the
Labor Day weekend, there were
no traffic deaths in Delaware, nor
have there been any traffic deaths
over any holiday weekend this
year. 1t is hoped that this COM
mendable record will not be mar
red by the carelessness or thoughts
lessness of a few drivers. ae2
This holiday weekend brings
to a close the traffic safety cam
paign "Slow Down and Live. This
campaign has been most effective
Throughout. Delaware, for in the
rural areas alone, there has been
a reduction in traffic deaths of ap-.
prOximately 80 per cent for the
year 1858.
I'm order to prevent accidents,
all troopers will be available and
assigned to traffic control. The pub
lie is aware of the use of unmark-
ed, and more recently the use of
varied colors and different makes
of patrol vehicles. In some cases
vehicles are two-tone; others are
red, yellow, blue, green and many
off-tone colOrs. s.
I'm addition to regular troopers,
assistance will be given by the
Auxiliary state police, who will be
equipped with walkie-talkie radios
and will be stationed at various
intersections throughout the state
to observe unsafe driving practices
of any motorists and report them
to the nearest trooper on patrol.
1T is realized, of course, a large
percentage of the traffic will be
passing through the state as well.
as the traffic problem presented by
motorists going to local beaches
and other recreation areas within
the state.
"It has been found on a nation.
wide scale that II per cent OF the,
fatal accidents which occurred over
last Labor Day holidays involved
some element of speed and drink
ing was present in so per cent of
these accidents.
I'm order to have a fatal free
weekend, troopers have been in.
structed to direct their attention
to these two violations, speed and
drinking while driving"

BABSON DISCUSSES CHINA

but it may be that Premier Mao is
receiving some sympathy and moral
support from certain factions in our
State Department. You will note
that Premier Mao is no longer
shooting across at Formosa and is
treating fairly any ships which ac-
cidentally come within the Chinese
three-mile limit. 1t is very interest
ing to see how England. has kept
friendly with Communist China,
which has not disturbed Hong
Kong. This is one of the most beau
tiful cities l have ever visited; it is
very busy and very rich. Yet. Pre-
mier Mao could drop a bomb on il
and knock it out of existance.
KrushclleV Fears Mao
AS / said in my column last June,
there is more probability of war be-
tween Russia and China than be-
tween Russia and the United States
I continue to feel that Premier Mao
of Red china is a chief factor in
the actions of Khrushchev during
the past weeks. The press told OF
how Mao has been to Moscow and
has apparently caused Khrushchev
to "get off his high horse" and ac-
cept President Eisenhower's de-
sires relative to the Summit Meet
ing. After the Marshall Report, Mao
was obliged to accept help from
Russia; but today the situation is
very different. IF Khrushchev should
attack Western Europe and Ameri-
ca, China would at once attack
Russia on the East. In doing so, she
would receive the help of England
America, and the other Free Coun.
tries. Hence, 1 repeat, there will
now be no shooting war between
the United States and Russia.

KILLER on. CHILDREN

Burns cause more injury and death a.
mong children than any other agent. Every
parent should know how to identify and treat
thenl
This point is stressed by Todays Health,
an American Medical Association publication.
1t then provides some simple but vital rules:
Youngsters will grasp everything within
reach, so never allow conditions to exist
which can lead to accidents. Keep matches
from children; keep pots from edge of the
steve, and keep youngsters from fires.
Determine quickly the degree of burn. In
first degree burn the skin is red; in second
degree, the skin is blistered; in third degree
the skin is charred.
For first or simple degree burns. coat af-
fected area with antiseptic ointment or olive
or baby oil. This relieves pain and prevents
skin from cracking and drying out.
For deep second and all third degree
burns, call doctor Immediately. Shock and
infection may occur. A layman shcnld not at
tempt to treat burns of these types.

Babson Park. Mass, Aug. %. As
have continually stated in these
columns. we will not have a shoot
ing war with Russia. We may have
chem;cal-weather war; and we
are now in an economic war. go
further ard say that Krushchev
like all Russian -leaders-has
world domination as a goal; but
this is not true of the Russian peo-
pie or of the satellite nations. Fur
thermore, Khrushchev fears Pre-
mier Mao, of China.
Watch China Carefully
There are many reasons why
China would not join Russia in war
against the West. China is largely
Buddhist in religion; but China is
not atheistic, as Russia claims to
be. Most of the Chinese leaders
were educated in Christian schools.
The colleges and hospitals of China
were largely financed by American
dollars.
China, by tradition, is friendly TO
the United States. My Grandparents
| formerly sailed ships between Bos-
ton and Chinese ports. In the
homes of their descendants today
including my own-are beautiful
pieces OF chinaware which were
purchased in China by the captsins
of these ships. It is within the last
fifteen years. that these ties with
America have been broken. 1t is
only common sense that they will
again be renewed.
Marshalps Big Mistake
think Mr.. Truman will tell inti-
mate friends that he made mistake
in accepting the report of General
Marshall on China. OF course. the
Milford chronicle., 1958-08-29

General was in China only a short
time and was dependent upon the
reports which he received from
those whom he met. To make a
comprehensive report on China
would take months or years. Be-
sides, General Marshall was West
Point graduate, with Army expert
ence. He should not have accepted
the task which President Truman
gave him.
General Marshall was very much
influenced by Chang Kai-shek and
his charming wife. She graduated
from our college here in Wellesley
and made friends with all of us
people whom she met. She also won
the hearts of Mr.. Truman and other
prominent men. 1t was largely due
to the character, courage, and
wealth of the Sun family that the
railroads, public utilities, and fac
tories of China were built.
Nationalist China and the United
Nations
From the observations I gather
when l visited China, would hesi-
tate to admit Communist China to
the United Nations. 1t, however, has
always seemed inconsistent to per-
init Formosa and Chang Kai-shek
to represent the 500 million Chinese
mainlanders in the United Nations.
This may have been means of
saving face; but it does not make
sense to me.
If Chang Kai-shek should die
today. / am sure that Communist
China under Premier Mao, would
be admitted to the United Nations.
On the surface, we continue to be
unfriendly to Communist China;

Dear Friends:
Some time age We planned to
take DR.. and Mrs. John Richardson
with us when we went to see Les
Brown and his band when they
made their annual appearance at
Meadow Acres Ballroom. AS have
told you before Hayes deceased
brother roomed with Les at New
York Military Academy.
i really never count on seeing
Les. When we were assigned here
at Forbes in the summer of 1858
Les troop had been and gone and
believe we missed seeing him by
a narrow margin of a week. 1854
Hayes was on a three-month tour
of duty in North Africa. 1856
Lynne was quite sick the evening
of the bands one night stand and
we went only long enough to say,
welcome to Kansas Mr.. Brown"
and rushed back home to our little
gal. Jack Dickerson, our niece
from Salisbury, Maryland, was
with us during her summer vaca-
ton in 1856 and she especially
wanted to see 1.-THE Band of Re-
known. Hayes had a flight sched-
uled that evening and there / was
again with no chance of dancing to
that good band of his. Jack met
Les and met his teen age son who
was touring with the band. We
two stays didn't tarry long how
ever. Last year the old band macs
tro was in Europe with Bob Hope
So you see / mad reason to be
dubious about our getting to the
dance last evening. No crew mis-
sion was on tap, no alert had been
called. At $3.50 it looked like we'd

Vinyard Comments
On Boating

Common sense is the most i'm
portant passenger in your boat,
Vinyard Ship Bldg. Co., Mercury
outboard dealer here. advises ev-
cry new boat buyer when his boat
is rugged and he has mastered the
simple operation of the controls.
Commenting on this, Vinyard
says modern OutSoa:d motors
nave become so easy to operate
and so dependable and SO safe that
many new owners rush onto the
water without a second thought
4bout preparing themselves to be
IS dependable as their equipment.
Practicing common sense afioat
md observing government regula-
ions will go long way toward
making boating more enjoyable for
he new boat owner and the boat
nen he meets on the waterways.
With this thought in mind, Vim
yard makes these recommends
ions to outboard boaters:
/. Don't jump into boat or try
carry a motor aboard boat.
Step in with your hands free and
Is close amidships as possible.
g.. Don't let your passengers
stand or change seats aboard a
smaller and less stable craft when
It's underway. Be sure that weight
If passengers and gear is evenly
distributed for most efficient and
safe operation.
8. Don't heave your anchor over
board from a small boat. Lower
it gently until it reaches bot
TOM.
4. Don't indulge in horseplay
aboard or with other craft.
S. Do observe posted speed linn
It's and respect the rights of others
when passing through anchor
lges and mooring areas.
6. Do slow down when approach
ing or meeting other craft close
aboard. Respect for the rights and
comforts of others is a prime con-
sideration of courtesy on our wa
/ serways.
z. Do familiarize yourself with
ocal obstacles and menaces to
navigation. Keep your craft well
lear of them and out of danger.
Government charts for this pur-
pose are available to the public
It nominal cost for all navigable
waters.
s. Do comply with U. s. Coast
7uard and local safety equipment
regulations that concern your boat
Failure to comply could mean
prosecution in state or federal
courts.
8. Do use common sense and
courtesy at all times in the oper-
tion of your craft.
The u. S. Coast Guard has de-
allied regulations for the opera
ion of large vessels. For small
raft, however, they can be con-
.ensed to these points:
1. Boats without engines al
ways have the right of way over
lowerbOats.
2. When two craft are on a con-
erging Tor crossing) course, the
ne to starboard Ito the right has
he right of way.
8. In narrow waterways, always
eep 10 the right.
4. When one boat is passing (ov-
rtaking) another, the boat being
,assed (overtaken) has the right
way.
While Mercury outboards have
lost conceivable safety devices
uilt in as regular equipment, Vim
ard pointed out, in the final an
lysis boating safety depends pri-
larily on sensible operation by
he driver rather than on his
quipment.
His final recommendation ask
our dealer If you have questions
bout your equipment, its opera
ion, boat handling courses, any
hing nautical. IL he doesn't know,
ell find out. The Vinyard Ship
sldg. Co. is located at Columbia
.treet and River, Milford, Del.
