Nuclear Attack on Washington Area
Would Hit State With Fast Fall-Out

If there would have been a
nuclear attack in the Baltimore
Washington area any time dur
ing February, the Delaware area
would have been affected by
fast fall-out on every day ex-
cept one.
This observation was made
by Civil Defense officials this
week, as they assist in planning
for the industrial survival con-
ference to be held at Hotel Du-
Pont, Wilmington, on Friday
and Saturday, March 1919.
Top men from industry and
government will attend the two
day meeting to brief owners of
industry and their personnel,
bankers, transportation officials
and others just how they can
organize in the event of a nu-
clear attack or natural disaster.
Keeping a flow of money,
foodstuffs, transportation facil-
tiles and plant production must
be achieved no matter what
may befall an area, Pierre S.
DUPONT, III, president of the
Delaware State Chamber of
Commerce point e d out this
week.
This is the reason the con-
ference is so important to
everyone in Delaware" Mr.. Du-
Pont said. "The Chamber of
Commerce is sponsoring the
meeting for Gov. ]. Caleb Boggs,
who called it at the request of
President Eisenhower.
when we learn that fallout
could have possibly hit us on
any given day last month, we
can finally achieve some pre-
spective of what we are talk
ing about. The time has come
when complacency must give
way to sound reasoning. We
must prepare ourselves for any
eventuality-even though we
hope and pray we may never
have to use the facilities and
services which we should set
up on an emergency basis" Mr..
DUPONT continued.

that anything can happen-and
this includes natural disaster as
well. Take the Thursday snow

Efficiency Prize
Given Smyrnians
By Kent Dairymen

Lets set Kent County goal
in 1860 of 10000 lbs. of milk
and 400 lbs. of butterfat per
COW" was the challenge of DR..
w. R. Hesseltine last Thursday
night at the annual meeting of
the Kent County Dairy Herd
Improvement Association. Nine
ty farmers and guests meeting
at the Viola Community Hall
were told that the association
averaged 9,768 lbs. of milk and
1868 lbs. of butterfat per cow in
1859.
Maurice Adams of Harrington
was the top individual farmer
with a herd average of 1890
lbs. of milk and 480 lbs. of but
terfat. Delbert Cain, also of Har-
rington, averaged one lb. less of
butterfat of 479, but he aver
aged more milk per COW, 1877
lbs. Other herds producing at
least 400 lbs. of butterfat per
COW included the Burwood Farm
of Walter Holt, Arthur Short &
Son of Smyrna, Bancroft and
Thomas of Camden, Albert ].
Wright of Wyoming, and Char
les c. Blendt of Smyrna.
Four directors were elected:
Joseph Moore of Dover, Jack
Webb, Jr. of Goldsboro, William
Eliason of Harrington, and
Louis Wright of Wyoming.
All youths provided musical
entertainment. Betty Dixon OF

fered several accordian selec-
tions.
The two herd supervisors

Son were presented with an Eff
ficient Dairyman plaque based

DR.. Morris Cover, head of the
animal industry department oi
the University of Delaware, sug
gested that farmers be careful
in the use of antibiotics with
dairy animals.
Farmers too were cautioned
by DR.. Hesseltine to continue
grain feeding when cattle move
on to spring pastures. I'VE dc
know that there is some stimu'
lus to give increased milk pro
duction from new pasture" he
said. "But the grain in milk is
only temporary, and your COWS
will quickly drop in milk pro-
duction unless they get enough
nutrients. New pasture is about
80 percent water, and because
of its bulk in relation to nutri'
ents, one should continue to use
some concentrates as grain," he
concluded.

The Phoenix Jewish news., 1960-09-16

has been written by Robert st.
John, who is a deep and loyal
Christian friend of the Jewish
people. Robert ST. John was in
Israel when the State of Israel
was born on May IA, 1948, and has
had a very close association with
Israel in all of its stages of de-
velopment. He came to know the
figure of David Ben Gurion not
only as Prime Minister, but as a
man and as scholar.
DAVID GREEN was born of a
prominent Jewish family in Plonsk.
His father, Jewish lawyer, gave
his sixth son deep and profound
interest in the Bible and Hebrew
as a spoken language.
Not only was David Green later
interested in reviving the Hebrew
language, but the dream of the
creation of a Jewish State was
something that he felt could be
reality if the people would not only
think of it, talk of it, but carry it
out into action. The return to Is
rael, to the land of our forefathers
meant also a return to idealiStic
the leader, the necessity to bring
the socialist ideal to prominence
in the formulation of a great hope.
At the age of 10 he came to the
land of his fathers, which was
desolate, filled with disease, and
a hopeless conglomeration of all
people and a few settlers who
struggled against the elements to
achieve a dream that most people
considered idiotic. David Ben
Gurion came to Petach Tikvah and
saw the people acting as gentle
men farmers, with others to do
their work while they sat soft and
dreamt. He said we must work and
we must achieve our own land by
the sweat and the toll of our hands.
He worked on the farms for
piastres a day, which in our terms
means. about six cents. This was
lust enough for him to rent a bed,
buy a meal in the evening when
the days work was done.
WHAT is amazing about the
mind of David Ben Gurion is he is
filled with that endless search for
knowledge. No one knows better
than Robert st. John, who says
that all through David Ben Gurion's
office and his study are thousands
of books which he has read and
mastered. He believes that lead
er must be philosopher, one who is
learned, not only in the cultural
tradition of his own past, but in
the culture and tradition of all

humanity. David Ben Gurion is a
student of Oriental philosophy.
Buddhism, Confusionism, and
Hinduism. When he has to discuss
a matter of present concern, he
always goes back to discuss what
the Bible did with the same prob
lem three thousand years ago, and
then by talking in the past, he
comes into understanding how to
respect the future.
WHATEVER David Ben Gurion
predicted has always come true as
If he were a prophet amongst his
people. He pleaded that the only
way that Israel could be built was
for the Jew to come to the land
himself and do the building for
himself, and this he achieved that
a magnificent program of the ma
pal, a political party, which has
been the strength of Israeps de-
velopr11ent through the collective
KibbutZ which has been built from
one end of Israel to the other. In
1943 when it came time for the
Jew to take a stand for his future,
it was David Ben Gurion, at the
Biltmore conference who came and
demanded that the Jewish state
be created, that the Jew actively
and forcefully made possible the
creation of the Jewish State and to
do it in defiance of the British
White Paper and the Arab princes
who were determined to destroy it.
In 1947 when the Mandate was
ready to be ended and people
pleaded with David Ben Gurion not
to create the State of Israel, for
him the time was now, and on that
historic day, he created the State
of Israel with the call to all his
people and to the peoples of world
to listen to him and to come and
join their brethren in the fulfill
ment of what was a great destiny
of his people. Then after he Great
ed the State, he changed into his
military uniform and said, now
that we have proclaimed it we
must achieve it by fighting, and
with victory his people went to
save what was theirs by their
historic heritage.
BUT DAVID Ben Gurion has new
er ceased throughout his career to
remind his people that the work is
never done, and never completed.
When the time came for a new
challenge, he Immediately took it
upon himself though he faced the
animosity and hostility of the whole
world, nevertheless he fought for
what was right. In 1856 he launched
out against Egypt and Nasser when
they were ready to destroy Israel
by disarming them from the Rus
sian guns and tanks which they
had received from the Soviet I'm
ion.
He is a man who is a man OF
thought and a man of action, whose
life has been dedicated to the sur
vival of the Jewish people, and to
the establishment of Israel as a
State, and to the glory of the rights
of men everywhere. Wherever we
will be, wherever we are, the mind
and spirit of David Ben Gurion will
be like a lion, his namesake.

Representatives Of the Nix

tract clauses. Franklin G.

sided.
The contractors said they
have not Disseminated on
grounds Of race, color or re-
ligion. If operations here give
the appearance Of discrimina- :
tion against Negroes, they said,
it Is because no qualified Negro
electricians ever have applied
for jobs.
In oficial statements, the
contractors made this pledge:
sshould any qualified indi-
vidual regardless Of race, re.
ligion or color present himself
for employment directly to their
companies, he viii be given
equal Job opportunities"
They did not concede that the
pledge involves any change of
policy. The companies always
have been free to hire workers
who apply directly without 60
ing through Local 26. they said.
There were conflicting reports
about whether Foley and Doe
ever have hired workers who
were not referred by Local 26.
From a practical viewpoint,
Local 26 is considered the most
convenient source of electro
clans for big projects here,
since it dominates the labor
pool in its field.

expects the GSA to check on
compliance.
