Do-It-Y Yourself Is Great BUT
Don't Let It Rule Your Life
AP Newsfeatures

HOW CAN you be do-it-your-
self type and maintain a good dis
: position?
That's the question from the wife
of an amateur handyman.
MY husband and I were very
happy" writes a Croton, N. Y,
housewife, until he started to
build a new kitchen. Now after
months that seem a lifetime he
is a ghost of his former self, tense
and nervous, irritable with the chill
dren, unable to eat or sleep. He
spends every waking moment in
the kitchen, except when he is
working out of the home. He doesn't
take a minute out for relaxation.
I'VE have grown to dislike the
Kitchen" she continues. 81 have
been helping my husband by doing
the plastering, sanding and paint
ing, while he does the carpentry,
plumbing, electricity and planning.
But sometimes feel that if / could
wake up and see my old kitchen,
/ would be very happy.
''The cabinets aren't quite finish
ed, so / keep pots and food on the
porch. The food freezes out there,
and when i made pancakes recently
no one could pour the syrup. We
all burst into tears. 1t was the final
elbow.
This harried housewife learned
by experience the hazards of over
ambitious do-it-yourself.

when remodeling home is Don't
Kill Yourself. Other ideas that
might be helpful include these:
L. Take time out from the project
occasionally, so you don't feel you
are pinned to it.
2. AS long as it is going to take

may take four. If you can enjoy

Advice To Teeners
Pro Drivers Give
By EDWARD s. KTTCH

CHICAGO (P)-Is it possible to
make safe driver out of a teen?
Probably.
Studies show that teen-agers who
have had driver education have
fewer than half the accidents OF
those who haven't had it.
The National Safety Council has
launched a safety sermon to save
the ii to 20 crowd from young driv-
ers who are victims of their own
enthusiasm and recklessness. Its
booklet lectures them on traffic be-
havior.
The safe driving tips in the
booklet come from professional
drivers like the state patrolman,
test track drivers and truckers.
Here's some of the advice the
pros offer:
/. Don't show off or clown be-
hind the wheel.
2. Have CUTS enough behind the
wheel to chicken out when COM
mon sense tells you it's time to
give in. Never mind who's right.
Be smart-stay alivei
8. The public highway is for
sharing, not competing.
A. The squeal of tires and roar
of the exhaust may sound like hot
stuff to a driver who needs it to
build up his ego. But it tags him
as strictly an amateur.
5. The pro gives in to bed wea-
ther, bad roads and traffic jams by
slowing down.
6. Would your coach send in a
player who had been drinking
Well, it goes double for driving.
Remember-a half-loaded driver is
more dangerous than a loaded gun.
Z. Set a personal example be-
hind the wheel that will influence
others-especially those who are
younger than you-to regard cour-
teous, skillful, mature driving as
smart instead of sissy and show
off driving as dopey instead of
daring.
s. Help bring about-and accept
rigid enforcement of traffic laws
on the school campus by your own
student traffic court, or by your
student council.

Delaware Food Market
Report

Leafy green vegetables are COM
ing to market in bigger supply
now that spring has arrived in
nearby growing areas. When shop
ping this weekend look for fresh
kale, spinach and turnip green's; !;
all will be wearing attractive price
tags.
Lettuce, vine ripened tomatoes,
celery and radishes are down a
penny or, so in price. Package to-
matoes are cheaper also this week,
but do be careful in your selection
since in many cases the quality of
these tomatoes is not too good
Good growing weather in Cali
fOrnia has increased supplies of
asparagus shipped from that state.
Quality is good to excellent on this
vegetable and during weekend
sales prices are very attractive.
New potatoes from Florida con-
tinue to arrive on local markets
and prices are fair. Cucumber ship
ments from Florida are far below
average because of weather condi-
tiOns, and this is the reason for the
advance in price which showed up
last week. One single cucumber
can cost you as much as 23c this
week.
Bananas continue to add variety
to the fruit counters and prices re-
main during special sale, 10c to
12c a lib. Grapefruit is still lead
ing the fruit parade-there are all
sizes aVai1a HE sold in hOth hu1k
and bagged form Oranges, lemons
and apples are attractively priced
and supplies are abundant.
White seedless grapes are begin
ming to come to the market, at the
same time as imported black Afri-
can grapes are arriving; both are
selling around 59c a pound.
On meat counters, veal has
started its annual price decline.

Mother read the composition.
She was amazed and tremendously
pleased and of course said so.
On Monday Paula took her COM
position to school. The teacher
was delighted and asked the child
if she would like to read it to the
class. To the teachers surprise
Paula said Eyes. Paula read it
without embarrassment and with
obvious pleasure. Later it was
tackled up on the bulletin board.
This seemed a turning point for
the child. Here was something she
could do. She gained confidence
in herself and was willing to try.
Even the handwriting suddenly be-
came more legible and the papers
done in school were less messy.
Many other children profit from
the use of typewriter. 1t is so
much easier to type than to strug-
gle with pen or pencil. Children
enjoy typing, are freer to get on
paper those racing ideas. The
child's increased morale inspires
him to work more effectively at
other subjects.

mitted to the union in 1912. w. c.
G. Claiborne was governor.
Milford chronicle., 1959-03-27

One weekend she had a compo-
sition to write. Paula hated COM
positions. She could think up
things to say all right, but getting
1t on the paper was such chore
she just never bothered to write
down all she had to say. Paula
was alone in the house for several
hours Saturday morning. She
sneaked into her fathers study,
put piece of paper in his type
writer and began her composition
about "My Dog Pat"
Dad had shown her something
about how to use the machine and
she managed quite well. She used
the hunt and peck" system of
finding the letters. 1t was fun. She
wrote two whole pages. The fin
ished product wouldn't have won
any tipping prizes but in Paula's
eyes it looked wonderful-so much
better than her laborious hand
writing.
When mother came home Paula
was just finishing. She was on top
of the world. She had written that
composition early and she knew it
was the best one she had ever
done. Also the paper was a mas
terpiece of neatness.

Delaware Turkey
Production Increases

Delaware turkey growers are
planning to produce $4,000 tur-
keys this year, an increase from
the $685. 900 produced last year, ac-
cording to George Vapaa, county
agent.
The anticipated expansion in
1859 will be with the light breeds
which will be up 80 per cent above
last year Delaware will produce
about $4,000 light breed turkeys
if they follow their January plans,
Mr.. Vapaa said. Last year they
grew 397 900 light breed turkeys.
They are planning about the
same number of heavy birds.
On the topic of increased turkey
production, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Ezra Taft Benson, recently
said the expected record turkey
crop will hit a five per cent in
crease above the n million pro-
duced in 1858.
demonstrates that under such con-
ditions an even larger crop than
that indicated by Intentions" can
be expected. 1t now looks as if the
1859 turkey crop could go over the
previous record of 81 million rails
ed in 1867.
Most of the increase will be in
the light turkeys, about &c million
birds.
Production of broilers and hogs
will be up significantly this year
and will mean increased competi.

meats.

The following are a few benefi-

vocated by farm economist and ex-
perts over the county.
/. Sell "A" cotton to the govern
ment. Its price will be tops for the
rest of the marketing year. Prices
for ''B" cotton will follow the gov
ernment resale price based on 110
percent of the "B" support rate
plus storage charges.
2. Sell grass finished cattle as
soon as you possibly can. Prices
will be slipping and pasture gains
will slow up.
g. Expect continued strong de-
mands for stockers and feeders.
AS the corn and milo harvest gets
into full swing the demand for
Stockers and feeders will pick up.
a. Gull and sell your poor COWS
especially if you have to buy feed
to carry them over the winter. Cow
prices will decline seasonally into
late fall and they want come back
as well next spring as they have
done for the past few years. Keep
cows that are heavy with calves
take your profits on the new calves.
5. Store soybeans this year. You
should make more from storage
than in the past two seasons.
Prices of soybeans will climb above
the loan.
6. Delay selling new corn. Prices
will drop sharply this month then
recover later in the season. It
should pay handsomely to store.
If you can't store let the corn dry
in the field until late fall to advoid
moisture discounts.
Z, Move hogs to market as soon
as they reach 200 pounds. Prices
will be on the skids for several
weeks hitting low in November.

THICK STANDS FOR
CRIMSON CLOVER

A dense stand is important for
crimson clover. Recent research
measuring the effects of spacing
has shown that the plants grow
faster and taller when planted very
close together, producing earlier
grazing and more total yield. Thick
spacing has a temperature advant-
age. When the ground is frozen
under thin stands, the closer spac-
ing provides higher ground tenn
perature and prevents freezing.
This promotes earlier growth. An
early establishment of a dense
stand of crimson clover should
provide grazing in November with
normal rainfall.

CRIMSON CLOVER PLANTING

Ch1MSON OLOVEh EAtAN AANU
This is the month for planting
crimson clover. You can plant it
with ryegrass on cultivated land
or SOW it on oats that are already
up.
1t is also an ideal time to plant
crimson on sods like grazed down
bermuda, bahia or costal bermuda
If you disk the area lightly i'm
mediately after sowing seed, you
will get better stands and better
survival than if you SOW the seed
and don't disk.
Planted in sod, crimson needs
phosphate and potash. A good ap-
plication is three sacks of phos-
phate and one of potash. You do
not need nitrogen unless oats or
ryegrass are planted with crimson.
