Now We Have
"COw Sitters''

What would it be worth to
dafryman to be able to take day
off each week, or an extended va
cation from milking chores? Some
areas have obtained "cow sitters"
to relieve a dairyman says George
Vapaa, Kent County agricultural
agent.
If interest in the project is great
enough, then the agent will at
tempt to develop the service for 10
cal dairymen. There are many
small dairymen in the county who
hesitate to enlarge their opera
tions. At the same time they would
like to have a source of regular
income to replace their present
milk check. 1t should be possible
to set up a "cow sitter circuit"
much like that of the DHIA milk
tester, for these experienced dairy
men.
One farmer told the agent, MY
son has missed only five milkings
since 1852 when l was crippled
with heart. attack. We sure would
like to be able to get an expert
enced relief man once in a while"
On the other hand another man
said 81 just don't want to fix up
my buildings. invest in a bulk
tank. and enlarge my herd now
that I'm SO years of age. | may
sell off, build a small house and
take a job in town. But I'd rather
work with cows since l know them
best"
What could be more logical than
to try to get the two individuals
together?
Why not call or write to Mr..
Vapaa at the Dover Post Office
telephone REdfield 6-1448) if you
are at all interested. There is no
obligation to follow through.
No details have yet been worked
out, but the program probably
would be based on the time needed

daring Photographic concepts in
an effort to rivet spectacular eyes.
Whatever the reason, new group
of young photographers has emerg-
ed bubbling over with ideas of how
best to break the rules of normal
photography. Otherwise how could
they hope to command the atten-
ton, and the assignments, of maga-
zine editors and advertising art di-
rectors?
Charles Varon of New York City
is one of the new school. His stu
dio is an unpretenious building just
block off Times Square. Though
he has shot almost 100 record al
bum covers in the past two years,
he keeps experimenting with films,
models and poses for fresh photos
for his portfolio.
To-day, if you do just the or
binary type of photography, he
told me, who looks for you?
ITO be remembered Sc
lected-you should be identified
easily. 1 keep thinking, and shoot
ing, in off-beat terms, of provoca-
tive poses and design in back
grounds, shapes and shadows"
Everywhere that Varon goes, he
keeps a sharp eye and retentive
memory for effective or unusual
natural settings for future pictures
since at this stage, he still can't
afford to have expensive sets built
or hired. In this way he has noted
and made use of fountains in the
park, exotic buildings and foreign
shrines in corners of the city, beau
tiful gardens, a circular stairway
and unusual decor in friends apart
ments.
Often, just the right accessory
will help make picture, even
though it's a minute SEDIMENT off
in the corner. To carry out GER
tain themes or moods, Varon will
search for, or rent, a picture prop
like musical instruments, religious
figures, an appropriate painting,
etc.
For his experimental pictures,
Varon exchanges services with
young actresses and newcomers
with model agencies. When they
are free, the pose and in return,
Milford chronicle., 1959-03-20

receive the prints they need for
their portfolios.
Each model presents a photo
challenge. If he had a cover as
signment, how would he interpret
her? He studies each and shoots
according to their personality, par
ticular style of dress and the sea-
son of year for outdoor shooting.
He experiments with color films
and with different types of black
and-white. He determines how far
he can push film speeds and vari-
GUS developers from the results.
For instance, for high-key or
high contrast fashion photography
he uses fast RoyaT-X Pan film and
then deliberately over-exposes by
one stop or by doubling the time.
The negative is developed normally
and then printed on high-contrast
paper
Varon's first exposure to photo
graphy took place working for a
photo retOucher. Here he met Rich
ard Avedon, famous avant garde
high fashion photographer. He be-
came one of Avedon's assistants
and began to study photography at
night. With this experience and
some bright ideas, he opened his
own. studio. Fortunately, those
bright ideas blended harmoniously
with those of an art director, Sy
Leichman, who was looking for a
record album cover photographer.
Together they have accounted for
about 100 covers and have made
inrOads in the fashion photography
field.
This endless quest to be different
startling and ingenious leads me
to suggestion for fashion photo
grapher of the future. Since there
are photo cycles just as there are
fashion revivals, it's only matter
of correct timing. One of these
days come forward with straight
forward fashion picture. in which
the detail and model are sharp and
clear and in which there is no
grain, blur, movement or other
gimmick 1t should be a sensation
and start trend.

Court News

Nelson Wendall Davis, %, of the
Milford area, was sentenced to two
years in prison for stabbing his
father-in-law, Paul Craft at his
home on Rt~ IA near Milford, on
Christmas Eve, by Judge James
B. Carey, in Sussex County Su-
perior Court Monday morning of
this week.
Davis had already been on pro-
baton for breaking and entering
and another year was added for
this previous offense, after the pro-
baton had been stricken.
According to the story unfold
ed by Deputy Attorney General
Frederick p. Whitney, Davis and
Craft had an argument during
which Davis struck his father-in-
law four times in the stomach with
a pen knife. The original charge
had been assault with intent to kill.
James Isaac Colburn, 20, termed
an habitual forger by Mr.. Whitney,
was sentenced to three years in
prison on each of four forgery
charges, the sentences to run con-
currently.
The forgeries were committed
the latter part of October at busi-
ness places in Millsboro and Selby-
vile.
James L. Courtney, AZ, charged
with two counts of forgery, Dec.
%, both at liquor stores, and Floyd
j. Reynolds, SIS, accused of aiding
and abetting these forgeries, were
each given two six-month sentences
to run concurrently.
Judge Carey said that there was
mo good method of handling cases
like yours" and said that the Of
fenses and previous similar Of
the accused was under the inf1u-
ence of liquor. He said that prom
ises to stop drinking hadn't been
kept.
I'm imposing sentence in the
hope it will help you," he explain
ed.
After three men who figured in
Georgetown burglaries, January 30,
were sentenced Monday morning,
Deputy Attorney General Frederick
p. Whitney said that the law en-
forcement organizations of the area
agreed that the wave of burglaries
and thefts from service stations
had stopped, since their arrest.
All four men are residents of
Georgetown. They had previously
entered guilty pleas.
Floyd Clinton Vincent, %, desig-
mated as the ring leader of the
group by Judge James B. Carey,
in Sussex Cunay Superior Court,
received a total of IL years in
prison. Three terms of three years
each were, ordered to run con-
currently so that the total actually
to be served became five years.
The other two men, Johnnie
Alexander Drummond, 18, and Jes-
sic Bullock, %, were each given
years prison sentence which was
suspended and they were placed
on probation for two years.
Their personal problems were dis
cussed at length in court and Judge
Carey said that he was of the
opinion that they had been talked
into" committing the burglary. He
warned them, however, to observe
the strict rules of their probation.
All three were charged with the
burglary of the John L. Briggs Co.,
office, during which safe was re-
moved containing $3.50 in cash and
checks and ledgers. Jones was
charged with being an accessory
Vincent was charged in addition
with a previous entry and theft
from the Briggs store and with
breaking into the offices of Nc
Nelly and Ennis where he stole a
vacuum cleaner. He was also said
to have entered the office of former

Tells How
To Grow Up
AP NeMsfeatures

SINGER PAT BOONE'S books,
"'Twixt Twelve and Twenty" fin
gers the problem of teen-agers in
chatty style. parlaying Pats own
logic and conclusions into pretty
understandable lingo.
The book Is yardstick to the
good life, but it isn't as il Pat
hasn't made mistakes, he con-
fesses, such as:
His elopement at 19 that worked
into a happy marriage but brought
sadness in recollection that. he
should have confided in his par
ents.
Or the time he put his savings
into a couple of chinchillas.
But on the plus side of the ledger
Pat has learned good deal from
experience, trust in his parents
and faith in God.
About his mother and father :. t.
Pat, who got his last spanking at
IL with the sewing machine belt,
was ashamed of his house, but
rustled up a sense of values that
young people were always asham-
ed of something to do with their
home or family" Soon he reason
ed that people were not as inter-
ested in what he had or wore as
what he was, and that it was he
who could stand improvement and
should be prepared for scrutiny.
On growing up First, grow
up spiritually and learn to know
God. He advises, please don't sell
this shortl" Second, grow up
socially, accepting your role in the
community and duties as citizens.
Third. consider your mental
growth and that until we can
think, and do think, we are sec
ond hand people; echoes, imita
tors, not using our own God-given
intelligence and mental powers"
A Columbia University graduate,
Magma Cum Laude. Pat reminds
us you are never too young to do
great things" George Washington
at IL got a certificate as a surveyor
from William and Mary College.
Lafayette at 20 was commissioned
major general in the Continental
Army. Joan of Arc was 16 when
she raised the siege of Orleans.
Edna ST. Vincent Millay was IA
when her first poem was published
in a national magazine.
Fourth consideration should be
physical growth, he says. Athletic
coaches have told him that many
young people take better care of
their cars than their bodies.
Fifth observation is that work is
part of growing np. Pat points out
that no matter what you think
about it, chores are always. going
to be with you.
Sixth is the development of
sound financial practices.
On love Pat agrees that
kissing is here to stay. recalling
that at age 13 a girl told him that
he kissed like a COW" when they
were playing "spin-the-bottle" at
a party. He believes a kiss to be
a beautiful expression of love, but
that kissing for fun Is 'like play
ing with a candle in a room full
of dynamite"
Pat is not against going steady,
but he thinks there should be gaps
in the togetherness. When he talk
ed seriously Of marriage to his
wife, Shirley, he thought of her
not merely as someone to lass un-
der a full moon, he says, "but
something to love even with run
ny nose" He married the girl, and
they are extremely happy, but he
doesn't recommend elopements or
teen-age marriage, except for ma
ture individuals.
The book includes some impor-
tant tips to newlyweds under the
heading, Maxims on Marriage.
