The notion that a high I. Q.

tential ability In every area of
human activity probably has its
modren origin in Alfred Binet's
view of intelligence as a unitary
matter. However. we have learn
ed a great deal since Binet de-
signed his first intelligence scale
in 1905. The dominant view to-
day. bsaed on what we have
learned, is that intelligence is
not a question of an ability but
a question of abilities.
1t may come as a shock to
many parents that there is little
agreement regarding an appro-

and that some authorities ex-
press doubt whether a satisfact-

this time. Whatever intelligence
is or Is not. most definitions Civ
that which Is measured by the
so-called intelligence tests. The
reason for this Is that while in

intelligence, they measure more
directly what the individual has
learned rather than what he
can learn to do. It Is therefore.
understandable that laymen do
not usually differentiate be-

In the case of animal drawn
wagons, a lantern or other lighting
device visible for 500 feet is re-
quired when the wagon is used on
the public highway after dark.
Public Safety Commissioner Tom
Scarborough urges all farmers to
comply with traffic safety require
ments in an effort to curb harvest
accidents.
But he also warns motorists to
keep alert when driving at night.
Don't overdrive those headlights"
he warns. PAY particular atten-
ton when meeting an oncoming
vehicle. Don't drive recklessly In
to that blind spot between you and
the approaching vehicle.
1T is in this blind spot that an

equipment becomes extremely dan

Hazard Presented By
UnIighted TraiIers

Hauling cotton in unlighted trail
ers or animal wagons on the open
highway after dark is extremely
hazardous.
According to the Mississippi High
way Patrol, accidents involving
farm equipment on highways nor
mally increase during the cotton
picking or harvest season.
In cotton producing sections, ma
ny farmers transport cotton to be
ginned during pre-dawn hours. Still
another common practice Is to
leave the field after dark with a
trailer or wagon loaded with cot
ton or other farm produce.
Unless these trailers are equip
ped with lighting equipment full
filling requirements of Sec. 8229-02
of the Motor Vehicle Code they
are in violation of the law If used
after dark. State law prescribes
the following safety requirements
for every semi-trailer weighing
three thousand 5000 pounds gross
or less: ION the front, no require
ments. On the rear, n red tail
lamp; two red reflectors, one at
each side; one red or amber stop
light if the semi-trailer or full
trailer obscures the stop light OF

week in thanking farm residents
for the support they are giving
the 1859 Christmas Seal Sale.
"Half a century ago." MIR.
Pierson explained, many cattle
were infected with tuberculosis,
and their milk spread crippling
bovine TB to human beings.
Through constant cooperation of
farmers and veterinarians, tu-
berculosis in cattle has been
brought under control.
Although now in Delaware
it is necessary to test many
cows to find one tuberculin re-
actor, the testing continues, as
even one tuberculous animal
can endanger the entire herd,
the owner and his family, and
anyone who may drink contain
mated milk" he said. 4
mo laws require human be-.
ings to be tested regularly for
TB," MIR. Pierson pointed out.
"Tf all Delawareans were as
careful about their own health
as we are about our cattle, we
could eradicate tuberculosis"
There are currently in pro-
gress specific research projects
being conducted in an effort to
determine the relationship be-
tween bovine tuberculosis and
human tuberculosis. This and
other research in the field of
tuberculosis is carried on with
funds received from the sale

Apply reason to the season
by being ready for snow, sleet,
and ice on the highways, the
Delaware Safety Council sug,
gested yesterday.
j. James Ashton, manager OF
the council, urged Delaware
motorists to get their snow tires
on their cars, and to have their
tire chains checked and put in
the car ready for use.
Each winter the early SHOWS
result in big traffic jams and
long delays to motorists primar-
lily because some drivers are not
prepared. When the highways
and the streets get slippery they
slide and skid, blocking the way
for others. 1t takes only a few
who can't make a slight hill to
block it for everyone else.
"Yet's face it-winter is ahead
and we might as well be pre-
pared for it." said Mr.. Ashton.
He also pointed out that three
important factors are added to
ordinary driving hazards in win
ter.
These factors are reduced
visibility, inadequate traction,
and temperature changes"
Ability to see danger on the
roadway is made more difficult
at this time of year because of
earlier darkness, occasional fog,
heavy rain, binding snow and
treacherous sleet, he pointed
out.
Headlights must be function
ing properly to light the way

ed, And headlamps may have
to be used occasionally even in
