Kent Volunteers
Launch Plans For
Cancer Crusade

Volunteers from all of Kent
County attended a meeting and
tea held at the Dover Century
Club for the purpose of plan
ming the coming Cancer Cru
SADIE, which has as its slogan:
Fight Cancer With a Check-up
and a Check" April has been
designated as Cancer Control
Month. There were about seven
ty women present who were
greeted by Mrs. H. B. King,
president of the county commit
tee. Mrs. King introduced Mrs.

Blood Bank Seeks
Member Increase
Thru PTA Groups

If hard working members OF
Parent Teachers Associations
throughout the state ever feel
that their efforts are in vain,
they can find inspiration and en-
couragement from a recent ex-
perience of the Highlands School
PTA in Wilmington. AT their
February meeting the program
featured a panel of four speak
ers, including representatives
from the Blood Bank of Della
ware. AS direct result of the
meeting, information on the
Blood Bank is now being
brought to the attention of the
parents of over 100000 school
children throughout the state of
Delaware.
PTA members endorsed the
Blood Bank and recommended
that parents of Highlands School
students become members. Then
during a discussion period some
one asked: ''If membership in
the Blood Bank of Delaware is
a good thing for parents of
Highlands School students, why
wouldn't it be a good thing for
parents throughout the state?
Encouraged by this enthusias-
tic endorsement by the PTA,
Blood Bank officials then obtain
ed approval from DR.. George R.
Miller, Jr., state superintendent
of the Department of Public In
struction, and DR.. Ward l. Mill
er, superintendent of Whining
ton city schools, to contact pup
lis in the public schools. Ap-
proval also was given by The
Most Rev. Edmund ]. Fitzmaur-
ice, Bishop of the Catholic Dio-
cese of Wilmington, to set up
the program in Catholic schools.
Private schools are being invit-
ed to participate, thus enabling
information on the Blood Bank
TO reach the parents of all stu
dents in the state.
The program has already gone
into effect in parts of Whining
ton and New Castle County and
in the Catholic schools in Della
ware. Following the Easter
school holidays, other schools
will participate. Each student is
given a question and answer
pamphlet on the Blood Bank
and is requested to take it home
to his parents, who then, if they
desire, can fill out the applica-
ton blank for membership and
return it to the teacher. This
is an excellent example of par
ents learning from their child
ren," Miss Mary ]. deHan, prin-

Dear Dan: I'm II and my DO,
friend is 81. We want to become
engaged at Christmas and ge'
married in April but l don't think
I'm quite ready for marriage. I've
had lots of dates and am ready K
settle down, TO one boy but moi
for marriage. My family doesn't
like the boy I'm dating, so that's
something else to consider. Satur-
day night instead of staying home
l went uptown with some girl
friends and l met another boy
whom l dated. l think he is
wonderful. l hate to break up
with my steady because l know
how hurt he will be. He lives
in another state and usually comes
10 see me each weekend except
last weekend when l went out.
Could you please help a very con-
fused girl out of this muddle? -
j. T.
Dear J. T.: I think you're about
as confused as a guy running a
poker game with marked cards.
l agree that you're certainly not
ready for marriage, not when you
can date the first fellow you
meet the first time your steady
doesn't make il to town. l think
the best thing to do and before
Christmas, is to tell your boy
friend you don't want to go steady
with him because you aren't
through playing the field yet. Be
fair with him, if nothing else.
Dear Dan: Not too long ago a
young businessman, SO, whom I've
known since / was in grade school,
came TO my house while my
mother was out. l invited him in
because / had earlier asked him if
he knew of any part-time work l
might get after school and on
Saturdays. By the way, I'm 16
and an honor student. Anyway,
when he found out we were alone
in the house, he started telling me
how beautiful l had become in
the past couple of years and
actually propositioning me l guess
you a imagine how | felt when
l ordered him out of the house.
l didn't tell my mother when she
got home from work because l
know she would call the police
and he would lose his job, home
and family. He's highly respected
in our city. But he sstill bother
ing me, calling me up when I'm
alone. He knows my mother
works and he picks the time to
call when she's not home. He's got
two small sons and I've been quiet
because l know what would hap
pen to his family if this was made
public but | can't take much more
Of his treatment. What can l do?
Please understand, all of what
I've told you is true.-Very Wor-
ried.
Dear Very Worried: 1t goes
without saying this outstanding
man" should be wised up fast.
However, l also know how you
must feel when you consider his
If you tell your mother,
that Will be that and | guess we
both know it. Why not send me
his name and business address
and III write TO him, telling him
few facts of life. II that doesn't
do the trick, and ii should, then
only thing to do will be tell
your mother and let her go to the
authorities. But as l said, I think

HOmEMAkERS
COLUMN

So much has been SAID about
staphylococci infections in hospi-
tails that we are apt to forget
about their presence in the home.
This was brought to my attention
recently when a homemaker call
ed to ask if it was all right to
make the dressing for her turkey
ahead of time.
OF course, many homemakers
have been stuffing turkeys the
night before for years and have
had no trouble. However, there's
always a first time. We put SO
many different ingredients into a
dressing that the bacteria count
is very high. And if you have a
scratch on your finger, there's a
contact with staph.
Experiments have shown that
bread is such a good insulator that
these bacteria really have a hey
day if left overnight. Fix the dress
ing the night before, refrigerate it,
and stuff the bird just before if
goes into the oven. Or better yet,
prepare the liquids, cover and re-
frlgerate them, and store the dry
ingredients in the cupboard. Toss
them together just before you
stuff the turkey. Fifteen minutes
of a busy day is a small price to
avoid illness.
Speaking of turkeys, most of us
have our own special ways to cook
turkeys, but many of these are
simple variations of two basic
methods - the regular oven roast
ling al low heat using no cover on
the turkey and braising at high
heat with a cover. Cooked either
way, turkey is just as tender, fla
vorful, and juicy.
Regular oven roasting takes
longer, especially with larger
should haste the turkey frequent
~. The result will be a. golden
brown bird, attractive to set on
the table.
For oven braising at high heat,
cover the turkey with aluminium
foil II the rooster lid. Advantage
of this method is that it saves
time. Turkeys cooked this way
will not have the fine appear
ance of those roasted without a
cover. Even if you take the COW
er off during the last half hour
or so to brown the turkey, the
skin usually splits and blisters,
and the color is less rich and ev-
en- than a roasted birds. But if
you plan to slice the turkey in the
kitchen, this won't matter.
Carving Tips
No matter what meat you're
planning for the holidays, carv-
ing tips are in order. Most impor-
tant is quick carving SO that the
meat may be served hot. To help
this job along, place slices on top
Of each other as they are cut on
a heated platter. If your platter
isn't large enough, provide a small
warmed platter or plate to hold
the extra slices for second help
Then too, most meat is carved
cutting across the fibers rath-
er than between them. The struc-
ture of meat makes it easier to cut
between the fibers, SO we saw
this for the less sharp dinner
Also for easier eating, it's bet
ter to serve two or three thin slices
than one thick slice.

one time when we wouldn't find 1t
difficult to lose weight.
The meeting with the India people
formed perfect setting for the in
tensive study and discussion that will
continue on through the week.
On November 19 we were invited
to the reception given for the young
men and women from the Soviet
Union who have been in the U. S.
on one-month tour.
The group includes Lev Vlasenko,
pianist, who placed second after
American Van Cliburn in the inter
national music competition. Cliburn
won in Moscow. Three members of
the group hold responsible positions
in Soviet youth organizations. The
group leader, Vadim Loginov, is
member of the Presidium of the So
Wet Committee of Youth Organiza-
tions. the co-ordinating agency for
all youth organizations in the Soviet
Union. The group also includes a
correspondent for a youth newspaper,
students of medicine, agriculture,
engineering and philosophy, and Iii
MAZDA Kirienko, an actress who stars
in play now being shown in the u. S.
After the speeches were over, the
Russians were encouraged to give a
few entertainment numbers. Lev Via
senko produced an accordian and,
urged on by a growing group of
American students, he played one
tune after another, many of which
were suggested by the American stu
dents who joined in the singing in
Russian.
The informal group singing drew
a sympathetic audience and soon the
Russians were persuaded to dance.
Everyone enjoyed watching the vigor-
Gus and rhythmic dances.
Later. all unforeseen by the plan
ming committee, the crowd broke up
into small discussion groups each
centered around one or two of the
Russians.
Some of these discussions became
quite heated and some Americans
said things that could not be con-
sidered as good manners toward the
Russians who were our guests and |
decidedly outnumbered in each dis
cusison group.
1t is hard to say how the Russians
felt about this sort of ending to an
pleasant evening.
My next account of the trip will
come from India and will take longer
to reach you.
There is so much to write about I
don't know which things to tell.

erance, which is damage to the other
acres.
This sounded all right so the green
light was flashed to the ditch project
however the state reserved the right
to construct the 50-foot ditch culvert
since the engineers from Walla Walla
estimate the cost at $1,800 which
would leave only 5000 severance.
Permission was also granted to use
another 1T acres temporarily during
construction of the ditch.
Another problem of the Board,
was whether or not oil companies
should be allowed to conduct seismo-
graph tests on school lands. A board
decision was made in 1851 according
to Eva Smith, who has charge of the
oil lease section of the Land Office,
not to permit such activity without
a lease.
To permit one such explosion
earth vibration test would open up
all state lands to the same oil deter
mining procedures.
The problem would then be whether
the vibration chart information would
be available to anyone wishing to
lease state land. How could the state
determine if the chart presented was
the true one or if the reading of it
was accurate?
On the other side of the sight of
tagging interest in Montana oil would
be the stimulation Of positive infor-
nation. The multitude Of oil compa-
nies all coming around to set off
blasts on each piece of land seems to
be a poor alternate solution.-F.S.

Ch, Washington. ID. G.
Both sides, it seems to me, are un-
necessarily vituperative. The real
question is whether there have been
genuine changes inside Russia since
the death of Stain which make it
possible to have meaningful nego-
tiations with the Soviet Communists.
But there is another way to look
at the Presidents trip that has moth
ing to do with international affairs
and yet has an important bearing on
the future of this country.
Dwight d. Eisenhower is 50 years
old, has suffered heart attack,
siege of ileitis and a mild stroke.
He has 13 months longer to serve in
office. The man who might succeed
him enjoys nowhere near the prestige
or standing of the President.

Dean Acheson recently raised a
question as to the advisability of
President Eisenhower making his
22,370-mile tour of Asia and Europe.
Acheson's ground for dissent was
that this personal diplomacy really
substitutes ''locomotion" for serious,
tough negotiation.
The Administration, in the person
of Secretary of State Herter and his
associate, Robert Murphy, ave
slammed back at Mr.. Acheson in
sharp language. Briefly stated, as it
was by Murphy, the Administration
argues that Acheson wants the "broad
behind" type Of diplomacy, otherwise
known in undiplomatic circles as the
"sitting on your tail" approach to
world affairs.
