H. Ernest Conwell, Milton, who
has been chief clerk of the Sussex
County Board of Assessments for
nearly nine years, has rendered his
resignation to the board.
Mr.. Conwell gave i'll health as his
reason.
During his period in office. he
saw the county assessment total
rise from about SIC, 1000 900 to this
years record high of $149,967 ,371.
Much of this was due to new con-
structii0n especially in the beach
areas, but the general property re-
appraisal in 1856, brought the total
in the one year from $98, ,4O1 ,416 to
s135, 4S4,4O7.
One of the accomplishments of
his term of office of which Mr.. Con-
well was especially proud was the
preparation of the bill authorizing
building permits in the county.
These permits, for which no charge
is made, have helped a great deal
in keeping the assessment lists
up-tO-date.
A more recent Improvement has
been the installment of an address,
ograph machine which has brought
the work of the office to peak ef-
ficiency.

Volunteer Fire Co., held its first

Apples Plentiful

Homemakers will be able to pack
lots of apples in school lunches
and bake plenty of apple pies this
fall according to Mr. Robert Stew
ems, Extension horticu1turist at the
University of Delaware. He said
there viii be plenty of apples to
buy this fall. as the national apple
crop will be above average.
The harvest has already started
in Delaware. The height of the har-
vest season will be within the next
10 days. Supplies of Delaware
grown apples will continue good
until the first of January.
Predictions are for excellent
quality apples. Stevens said. Early
harvested Delaware apples are
lighter colored than usual. This
lightness is due to the heat of the
past few weeks and does not affect
eating quality. With the approach
of cool nights. the red varieties
will turn to more normal coloring.
Fall apple varieties that will be
abundant are Golden Delicious,
Red Delicious. Stayman, and later
on, Rome.

Atomic Research Proves
Humble Chicken Faster
Than Man-Made
Machines

When It comes to high speed
manufacturing, the humble hen
has it all over man-made machines.
But if it weren't for atomic energy,
she never would have received the
credit.
Prof. Robert A. Monroe, Cor
mel University poultry scientist,
has found that you can give chic
ken dose of calcium and within
five minutes she'll have q trace
of it in the fresh-laid egg.
This dramatic manufacturing
process will be demonstrated for
poultrymen attending the exposi-
ton of the Northeastern Poultry
Producers Council (NEPPCO), here
in the Farm Show Building, Oct.
CTS.
Flashing lights, moving needles
and intricate measuring devices
will track the hens use of "hot"
calcium. A Geiger counter will be
operating to show just how fast
she's working. Experts from the
university will be on hand to field
the questions people always ask
about radioactive isOtopes".
Prof. o. F. Johndrew, Jr., Cor
nell poultry specialist, will be in
charge OF the giant display. The
latter will be much more than an
eye-catching demonstration, for it
has opened up whole new area
of research into the problem of
thin egg shells which annually
cost the poultry industry millions
of dollars in the form of farm and
market breakage.
Some 5000 poultrymen from a
IA state area are expected to at
tend the three day exposition.
Other special features include the
selection of a northeastern "poul-
try princess" and the Star Poul-
try Farmer of the Northeast.
