Safety Council News

Amply reason to the season. by
being ready for snow, sleet, and
ice on the highways, the Delaware
Safety Council suggested yester-
day.
]. 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 re-
suit in big traffic jams and long
delays to motorists primarily be-
cause some drivers are not prepar-
ed. When the highways and the
streets get slippery they slide and
skid, blocking the way for others.
It takes only a few who can't make
a slight hill to block it for every
one else.
Lets face it-winter is ahead,
and we might as well be prepared
for it." said Mr.. Ashton.
He also pointed out that three
important factors are added to or
dinary driving hazards in winter.
These factors are reduced vis-
ibility, inadequate traction, and
temperature changes"
Ability to see danger on the road
way is made more difficult at this
time of year because of earlier
darkness, occasional fog, heavy
rain, binding snow and treacher-
GUS sleet, he pointed out.
Headlights must be functioning
properly to light the way ahead at
night, it was emphasized. And head
lamps may have to be used occa-
sionally even in daylight when ex-
tremely bad weather conditions pre-
vail.
Slippery road surfaces fre-
quently are blamed by drivers in
volved in wintertime accidents" Mr..
Ashton observed.

Kent County
Court News

Alexander Robertson, 29, a farm
worker who, had been living at
Houston, was sentenced to a three
year jail term by Judge Andrew
d. Christie in Superior Court in
Dover last Friday for shooting a
feIlow-farmer worker, Lorenzo
Wood. in an asparagus field near
Houston, June /.
Robertson was recently con-
victed by a jury Of charge of
simple assault after a trial on a
charge of assault with intent to
murder. Wood was wounded in
the stomach.
Judge Christie said that he could
not grant a plea for probation
made by James B. Messick, attor-
ney for Robertson.
Theodore P Mickle, 20, near
Hartly, who recently pleaded gull
ty to a charge of receiving stolen
money, was placed ON probation for
two years. He was accused of re-
ceiving $120, part of $3.50 asserted
Milford chronicle., 1959-12-11


However, the experienced dri-
yer knows he must adjust his speed
and equip his vehicle to fit different
existing conditions" the safety Off
cial commented.
"A moving ear grips the road at
four points about the size of your
hand" he added. when the pave
ment is made slippery by rain, ice,
or snow, it's evident that the grip
ping or traction ability of tires is
adversely affected"
Compensation for this hazard can
be found in reducing vehicle speed,
avoiding quick starts and sudden
stops, and making certain that tires
have good tread, and that brakes
are properly adjusted for retard-
ing evenly, il was pointed out.

Urges Greater
Participation
In Disaster Work

THE desire to help those ir
need and to do it in the name
of Christ is the motivating force
in carrying on the Mennonite
Disaster Service" Bert Loewen,
volunteer worker from Winnipeg,
Canada, told a district meeting
of workers Sunday evening at
the First Mennonite church.
DR.. Howard w. Raid, Bluffton
college professor, presided at the
meeting. A large number from
Archbold and Wauseon areas
were present in addition to local
Mennonite men.
Mr.. Loewen described the work
carried on under the Mennonite
Central Committee.
The most recent call for help
came from the st. Anne flood dis
aster. Mr.. Loewen said that the
offer of help was questioned at
first, but when officials saw the
Disaster Service techniques for
quick service, they gave high
praise in the newspapers.
The Winnipeg visitor, a school
teacher, is using his summer
time to create interest in the
Disaster Service work among
Mennonite men.
He said that often the few days
which the men take from their
own work comes out of their reg
ular vacation or the employer
dismisses them when he sees the
need. Understanding the sacri-
fices the helpers make has a very
great effect on the recipients of
the help.
This is church related, Bible
related service in which many
more can serve. He said that
there is a place for help from
young and old, and women as
well as men.

Susitna Valley Eyed By Pioneer 59ers Seeking Land

ANCHORAGE, UP - The fertile Susitna Valley beckoned "A of the 37 Michigan '59ers who left their homes in the Detroit area in search of a new life in Alaska.
 The '59ers originally h d planned on homesteading on the Kenai Peninsula, southwest of Anchorage, but then decided there was not enough available farm land on the Kenai for them and other '59ers planning to come to Alaska from the Detroit area.
 Marine Six, a spokesman for the 24 '59ers who now plan to settle in the Susitna Valley across the SuSitna River from Talkeetna, some 30 miles north of here, said he and three others had toured the area and found it to their liking.
 "We'll go to Talkeetna as quick ly as the Alaska Railroad can get cars and get us there," Six said. Some of us will try to get work of some kind at Talkeetna. We'll live on what supplies we have. then wait until we can cross the river, probably in two or three weeks"
 Six said he did not know where the 13 '59ers who decided against the SuSitna Valley would even tually settle.

Only The Hardy

LOS ANGELES, LR - Remem- Der that place where never is heard a discouraging word?
 Well, that place isn't Alaska. At least not if you listen to Hew- it Lounsbury, mayor of Alaska's largest city, Anchorage.
 He gave newsmen these glimpses this week of what home steaders can expect in the 18th state:
 Winters are hard and long, de- laying clearing, road building and blowing. You'll have to be able to take care of yourself for two years at least - with no relief to fall back on if you go broke.
 Living costs are 40 per cent higher than stateside, and housing costs twice as much.
 No additional unskilled labor CTS are needed.
 But, said Lounsbury, who is here studying hospital financing, there are these brighter aspects:
 The job situation is good for engineering and technical fields. And homesteaders will find plen- ty of good land if they can bring along the $12,OOO to $14,OOO needed to make a go of it for the first two hard years.

Michigan Congressman Relates Illustrations In Trying to Help '59erS
By RICHARD WESLEY

WASHINGTON, R The troubles besetting a band of Mi chigan immigrants in Alaska drew expressions of disappointment and illustration yesterday from Rep. William s. Broomfield R-Mich).
 Broomfield, who has been an active packer of the groups un- successful attempts to get federal aid in their venture, said he still hoped to be able to help the '49ers. A small advance party of the De- troit-area city dwellers organiza- tion arrived in Anchorage last month after a gruelng 4,000-mile journey by truck and automobile. The main body of 500 has said it plans to leave Michigan around June l.
 Broomfield said he was dis appointed at word from Anchor age that the advance party had abandoned its plans to settle on the Kenai Peninsula, and now was considering locating in the fertile but Siolated Susitna Valley north west of Anchorage.
 He said a Department of the h. terior regulation permitting group filing, which the '59ers had hoped to be able to do, probably would not be applicable in the Susitna, since the regulation deals only with surveyed land.
 The Michigan Republican said he still was hopeful that federal surplus foodstocks can be made available to Alaskan homesteaders such as the '59ers.
 Its extremely frustrating to me to think that we have all this money tied up in storing this food and can't use it for a worthy pur- pose like this" Broomfield said.
 He said he was awaiting a De- partment of Agriculture report on whether the department can make such foods available.
 If it can't" he said, T intend to introduce legislation immedi- ately to make this possible"

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

The first planet to be discovered was Uranus. It revolves around the sun once in 84 years at f9 times the earth's distance from the sun. The planet is barely wis ble to the naked eye at sixth magnitude in brightness. Through a telescope it has the appearance of a blue-green disk. No markings are discernible.
 The planet is 32,O00 miles in diameter and is enveloped in an extensive atmosphere, in which methane is present. It rotates once in 10.9 hours, having it's equator nearly at right angles to the plane of it's orbit.
 Five satellites revolve around Uranus in the plane of it's equator in nearly circular orbits. Their orbits were presented flatwise to us in 1945, and will appear edge wise in 1866 The fifth satellite, discovered by Kuiper in 1948, is fainter and nearer the planet than are the others.
