Cool Weather
Cuts Equine
EncephalOmyelitis

Cool weather and the resulting
reduction in mosquito numbers
should end the equine encephalo-
myelitis for the time being.
The Department of Poultry and
Animal Health of the State Board
of Agriculture reports that a total
of seven cases have been reported
with horses in Delaware.
With the excellent vaccine avail
able for minimizing horses, all
horse owners should vaccinate
their horses next spring well in
advance of the mosquito season,
DR.. w. r. Teeter, state veterinar-
ian said.
There is no vaccine that can be
used for human protection against
sleeping sickness.

Last week we wrote stories and
poems about Halloween. We also
wrote stories about seeds. These
are some of our stories:
There was a cat.
He was too fat.
Then he sat-
He saw a bat.
He ran so fast
That he didn't know
Where he passed.

Halloween
We celebrate Halloween on Oc-
tober 81 every year. Children in
every state dress in costumes.
When it gets dark children go
around the neighborhood and
knock at the doors for tricks or
treats. We get candies, cookies,
and good things to eat We have
parties and have parades in our
town. Halloween means the day
before All Saints Day which was
once called All Hallows' because
d hallow means saint. The colors for
Halloween are orange and black.
Pumpkins are cut to look like fun
ny faces and lights are put in them.

MilkWeed Seed
Once upon a time there was a
milkweed seed. His name was Ell
mer. He was little, but he wanted
to be like his father. One.day big
wind came and Elmer went with
it.
The very next day he saw red
bird. Good morning, Mr.. Red
Bird" said Elmer.
Good morning, Elmer. How did
you get here in Maryland?"
Maryland" said Elmer. How
did | get in Maryland? l thought |
was in Delaware. Do you know
how l can get back?"
Eyes, / do know how you can
get back. Just hop on my back
and / will take you there. Here
you are," said Mr.. Red Bird.
AS Elmer 5umped off his back,
he fell in some dirt. Just then a
dog came along and stepped on
him and he stayed there. Then a
pony came along and kicked dirt
on Elmer. And Elmer stayed there
and grew.

Halloween is lots of fun.
1t is fun for everyone.
A lot of spooky things are seen
On the night of Halloween.
It's when you put on a funny

And knock on doors, Trick or

You'll see spooky things on the

You'll close your eyes and hold

A Halloween Night
1t was Halloween night.
The moon was shining bright.
And all a sudden a witch
Flew out of the moon
Riding on a broom.
She stirred around in the sky
Until the cats came out and cried.
Meow, Meow, Meow.
She came down from the sky.
And saw some Gobblins
Around Milford High.
They all Joined hands and danced
around.
Out across the playground.
Then the witch went back up in
the sky
And flew around in circles until
she died.

Don't Let Those
Easter Plants Die

Did you receive a plant at Eas-
ter time? Now you wonder what
to do with it? According to DR..
Charles w. Dunham, University of
Delaware horticulturist, some of
these plants will grow outside,
others are good house plants and
a few are not suited for either
house plants or outdoor culture
The following list of some of the
Easter plants will give you an
idea of what to do with them.
The species of Easter lily, Longi-
forum, which is the one commonly
found, is not reliably hardy in this
locality. They will often flower
again in the fall if put outdoors,
however. After danger of frost is
past, MAY to 10), sink the pots
in the ground in well-pr0tected
place with partial sunlight, Dr.
Dunham suggests.
They should be kept in this loca-
tion about two weeks until they are
well-hardened off. After that re-
move from the pot and transplant
into the garden, using about one
half handful of fertilizer well mix
ed into the soil before planting.
Hyacinths are bulbous plants
which are hardy in this climate.
Keep them in the house in a cool,
sunny location until after bloom
ing. They can be set in the garden
after danger of frost is past. How
ever, hyacinths which have been
forced for Easter blossoms some
times do not bloom in the garden
the next year and it may be sew
eral years before the bulb regains
it's vitality.
Tulips are hardy in this area and
may be kept in the garden as soon
Milford chronicle., 1959-04-03

as frost is over. Put in a good To-
cation away from shrubs and spade
in a small amount of fertilizer be-
fore planting. Don't cut the leaves
off until they wither and die.
Most Easter hydrangeas are of
the species hortenis and are
French hybrids. Keep them in the
house in cool, sunny location
with. plenty of water while in
bloom. After Towering, harden OFF
as for Easter lilies and transplant
into the garden.
These plants are not too well
suited to this locality as the flower
buds are often killed by frost in
the early spring. If protected with
a bushel basket over the top dur
ing the winter, most will come
thru and flower.

There are many different types Of
azaleas sold at Easter time. Some
are hardy and some are not. They
should be hardened off after flow-
ering and then planted in the gar
den, providing soil conditions as
needed for any outdoor azalea.
The gardenia is a house plant
only and not hardy in this area. It
does not grow well under condi
tions in most homes. If you would
like to try them as a house plant,
plant them outdoors in late spring
in a sheltered spot with partial
shade. Take up in the fall before
frost and try to keep it growing
as house plant.

Museums Lincoln Bust
Not Presidents, S, Is Gift

President Eisenhower took a
priced bronze bust of Abraham
Lincoln from the Lincoln Mu-
scum here to present to Presi-
dent Prasad of India on his
goodwill tour.
The President has Se his
personal possession in the
White House a duplicate of the
sculpture, but he did not want
to part with it. Instead, the
bust in the Lincoln Museum
was taken.
Leo M. Cherne, the artist
who made the bust, is casting
another duplicate to replace
the one in the museum.
Mr.. Cherne said by telephone
from New York today that the
Government will reimburse him
for the cost of the replace
ment.
II would say the replacement
cost would be between $500 and
$1,000." Mr.. Cherne said. "I
would like to make it clear
that there is no distinction in
value between castings. Each
casting is worth about $4,000"
I'm fact" he added, "I have
a very hard time distinguishing
between castings. It's hard for
me to say which is the first
casting.
when I heard that the Pres
ident wanted to take the bust,
I Immediately. started the very
laborious process of casting a
duplicate"
He said the duplicate should
be ready for the Lincoln Mu-
scum in about five weeks.
Mr.. Cherne. executive direc-
tor of the Research Institute of
America in New York, said the
Lincoln bust was made from a
photograph taken by Alexander
Gardner four days before the
Presidents assassination.
Evening star., 1959-12-08

AS far as he can remember,
Mr.. Cherne said, four castings
have been made of the original
plaster model.
'I made the original in 1856
as the 50th birthday gift for
Carl Hovgard, president of the
Research Institute, ardent Re-
publican, Kansan and admirer
of Lincoln" Mr.. Cherne said.
"The original is in Mr.. How
CARDS Office here"
Then there were four cast
.ings. The first I presented to
President Eisenhower in March
'of 1857. That is now in the
Cabinet Room of the White
House.

made for the Lincoln Museum,
and the others are in Freedom

Arbitration
Suggests ; Ways

BY LEE M. COHN
star star Writer

Secretary Of Labor Mitchell
today urged steel labor and
management to arbitrate their
dispute or let an outsider rec
ommend a settlement.
Use of such techniques, Mr.
Mitchell told a news confer
ence, would depend on mutual
and voluntary agreement" by
both sides.
Taking a moderately opti-
mistic view of the outlook fol
a steel settlement, Mr.. Mitchell
said. Il believe the parties are
close enough in their positions
that. given a real will to settle
on both sides, a settlement car
be reached before the end oi
the S0-day injunction"
MediatOrs Issue Call
Meanwhile, Federal mediators
called negotiators for the steel
companies and the union to
another bargaining session this
afternoon.
Mr.. Mitchell said the prospect
of restrictive legislation by
Congress, in the absence of a
steel agreement, should provide
the impetus for a settlement,
Unless the strike is settled, he
added, the administration will
recommend legislation at the
next session of Congress.
The United Steelworkers OF
America are on the job under
a Taft-Hartley Act Injunction
Unless the dispute is settled,
they will be free to resume their
strike when the injunction ex-
pires January 26.
If negotiations continue to
deadlock, Mr.. Mitchell said, the
union and the companies
should take one of several
courses:
l. Agree to let a board rec
ommend a framework" within
which they would negotiate an
agreement.
