OF Rockefeller

New York Leaders
To Aid Ratification
BY GRACE BASSETT

0OV. nelson kSOcke1eller and
leaders Of the New York State
legislature have pledged them
selves to ratify the District
suffrage amendment In 1861.
Their promise came from
New York as the constitutional
amendment faces its first
crucial test in q nearby State
legislature at Trenton, N. j.
There, the State Senate, con-
trolled II to 10 by Republicans.
could consider the proposal to-
morrow. The Democratic House
already has voted to ratify.
District Republican State
Committee Chairman Carl L.
Shipley has sought key Re-
publican support In both
States.
Gov. Rockefeller wrote Mr..
Shipley early this month that
I'VE win give ratification
every consideration early
this session." He said he had
assigned his counsel to study
legal implications. He pro-
missed to take up the matter
with legislative leaders.
Nothing could be more inn
portant than getting this
matter straightened out" he
added.
Last week. Mr.. Shipley re-
ceived b telegram confirming
that Republicans had followed
through. L. Judson .Morhouse,
New York state Republican
chairman, wired:
Would like to let you know
that ratification was dis
cussed at q leaders meeting
yesterday. It was agreed that
the matter would be advanced
expeditiously and I am sure
you can count on ratification at
this coming session. :"
The New York legislature
convenes January 4.
At stake is the right of Wash
ington citizens to vote for
President and Vice President.
The proposed amendment
would allow Congress to set UP
election machinery for District
residents. Balloting would be
for electors limited to the
number Of electors from the
least populous State. now

Congress Overwhelmingly rec
commended the vote proposal
to the States last session.
Ratification requires the ap-
proval Of 80 Of the so State

Moving is always a chore since
there is lot of work to be done
and the presence of several little
children doesn't make the job any
easier.
To a little child, his family is
his world. 1t doesn't make too much
difference where he lives so long
as his parents are there. He will
miss his present playmates of
course, but almost any other chill
dren of about the right age will
soon substitute for those he leaves
behind.
The important thing to little
child is that he doesn't lose you
during the move If you are so
busy sorting, packing and arrang-
ing you don't have the usual time
for your children you will soon
have the added problem of fussy,
irritable, wheney child with which
to cope.
Let him help you, or at least
be around while you are getting
things ready to move This means
you have to allow some extra
time since his help is far from a
device for getting things done
quickly. However, the child who
sees the familiar things packed
away has much greater sense of
belonging than the youngster who
suddenly discovers that the old
things have disappeared.
Milford chronicle., 1960-09-09
Let Children Help You on Moving Day

On the big day have him around,
don't send him off to Grandma's to
get him out of the way. Persuade
the movers to pack his room last,
both so he can still see it when the
living room is bare and SO it can
be set up first in the new house.
Be sure to leave a few favorite
toys to be carried by hand and
played with when the going gets
tough.
Also, a neighborhood with young
families may give you chance to
make friends with other young mo-
theirs. A house in the country may
have wonderful play space but it
can be very lonely for mother.
It's better if there are some other
young women with whom to share
morning coffee break or a little
baby sitting now and then.
Also look into the school situa-
tion. If you possibly can, visit the
schools before you decide on your
home. You may find some much
better than others. And remember
the quality of the teachers is far
more important than impressive
school buildings.
If you think you are going to
live in your new house for years,
consider the question of available
public transportation so that as
the children get older they can go
places on their own. Otherwise you
will find you are running jitney
service to ball parks, music lessons
and even friends houses.

School Time Calls
For Alert Driving
continued from page one)

While cautioning drivers to
watch out for children, Mrs. Cam
also urged parents to teach their
children safe habits and safe atti-
tudes. 1t is particularly important
to set a good example for children
in teaching them safe traffic prac-
tices, she said. adding that what
the parent does may be more i'm
pressive to the child than what the
parent says. Children driving with
their parents are influenced by the
attitudes and behavior of the driv-
er, she said.
She suggested that, for the safe
ty of the children, parents should
teach them to obey all traffic safe
ty rules. This means waiting for
the 'go" signal at traffic control
lights, looking both ways before
crossing the street, and also watch
ing for turning vehicles before
crossing.
Mrs Cam also urged parents to
point out to children the danger of
running out into the street from
between parked cars, or from any
place where they cannot readily be
seen.
'If both drivers and children use
just a little extra caution many
needless accidents could be pre-
vented and many injuries and
deaths could be avoided" she said.

Delaware Food Market
Report

Is yours "meat-and-pOtatO"
man? If he is, he's in luck since
both are more plentiful than they
have been, and that, of course,
means lower prices. You can bring
out all your favorite beef recipes.
Plentiful supplies are the forecast
for the fall months. Marketings
begin increasing now in late sum-
mer, as the grass in the pasture
begins drying up. These cattle
which have been on the pasture are
either sent to market or to food
lots where they are fattened with
grain for winter marketing. Grass
fed cattle are furnishing the best
buy in beef this week. This type of
beef has less fat and is often con-
sidered not so tender. However,
this is not 1000 true-if you select
your meat carefully, looking for as
much marbling (specks of fat scat
tered through the lean meat as
possible, then cook it properly
you will have tender and delic-
ious piece of meat. Check pot
roasts and rib roasts this weekend.
Remember, sliced beef sandwiches
will taste mighty good in that
school lunch box.
Potatoes are on the best buy
list this week as more freshly dug
potatoes are reaching our local
markets. Quality is good to ex-
'cellent and prices are quite reas-
enable. There is one thing to
watch, however, with the weather
still so warm, potatoes continue to
spoil easily if not kept in cool
dry place. So, buy only. what you
can use within week unless you
can store them properly.
If you are looking for something
new to serve your family, why not
begin with cabbage-new cabbage
that is. This vegetable is one of
the most versatile of all foods. So
with quality high and prices low
&c a pound) why not serve cab
bage tonight. Try it in salad or
serve it hot Other vegetables to
check this weekend are: lettuce,
celery, sweet corn, tomatoes,
squash, peppers and onions. Cauli-
flower supplies are increasing as
shipments from Long Island begin
to appear. Quality has improved,
but it is not such that you can buy
this vegetable without first check
ing its quality.
There continues to be wide
variety of fruit available on all
markets this week. Peaches, can
taloupes, watermelons and home
grown grapes head the list. Prices
on these fruits are lower now than
they were year ago. Increased
supplies of new apples, pears,
plums and honey dew melons are
now coming to local markets.
Thompson seedless grapes are
abundant and prices are low.
