MiIdew Menace -.

sMildeW is a menace during
warm humid weather. 1t grows on
lust about everything. Cotton, lin
en-, rayon, silk, wool, leather, wood,
and paper are all possible mildew
victims" "Only a few man-made
fibers escape" says Miss Patricia
Middleton, home management spec
ialist, University of Delaware.
Preventative treatment can do
great deal to retard mildew
growth" declares Miss Middleton.
Good ventilation is imperative. Air
the house only when outside air is
cooler than inside air. Warm air
will condense leaving more mois-
ture in than it will take out. Heat
the house for short periods during
very humid weater to remove ex-
cess dampness.
Closets should be aired regular
ly. Hang clothes so air circulates
around them. Protect shoes and
luggage with good coat of wax.
A small electric light kept burn
ing in a closet will curtail mildeW
if the closet is small.
Mildew stains should be treated
Immediately. Brush the cloth out
doors to prevent spreading of mold
spores inside. Washable fabrics
should be laundered at once with
soap and water, then dried in the
sun. Other fabrics should be clean
ed Immediately.
A lemon juice and salt mixture
will help remove stubborn stains.
Test fabrics for color fastness be-
fore using this treatment Rinse
thoroughly with water afterwards.
On leather, a cloth moistened in
diluted alcohol will wipe away mil
dew stain. Use one cup denatured
alcohol to one cup water.
Plenty of air, sun and soap suds
will keep mildew under control.

days would pass before a certain
event would come about. The mer-
chants were certainly ingenius in
displaying their merchandise to
best advantage on Saturdays. Most
of the stores had sheds extending
from the front of the store walls
to the street. These were ideal for
meeting places-out of the sun and
rain. Not just incidentally they al
so served as open-air exhibit places
for specials" which for sale on a
particular day Some of the stores
had graduated platforms leaning
against the walls with attractive
assortments of merchandise. And,
suspended from the shed ceilings,
were the very perhaps
luxury items just far enough out
of reach to instill a more urgent
desire on the part of the would-be
customer. The idea seems to have
been to get as much stuff outside as
possible particularly in Spring
and Summer. Even the drug stores
had stands along the sidewalk
where clover seeds, grass, and mil
let were displayed. Outdoors in fine
weather was where the crowd liked
to be and the smart merchant didn't
overlook the advantage of having
his wares at hand.
Perhaps the hardware stores did
the biggest business. In those days
you could get practically anything
at a hardware store. Believe it or
not. men always went to the hard
ware store to buy their razors and
blades. You could get a Barlow
one-blade razor for ten cents and
the Sheffield import with two or
three blades cost sixty cents. There
was also a large assortment of
shears. scissors, and knives. In
another department (because hard
ware stores were almost depart
ment stores) you could buy hemp
rome. carriage lamps and robes,
sleighbells, and harness. At that
time, nobody had ever heard OF
ready-mixed paint The Milford

| linseed oil to make the correct So

hardware store the painter pur-
chased his paint pigment, oil, and
turpentine. At no cost, there was
always available a good deal of ad-
vice fsome good and some bad) on
how to mix it. Sometimes you got
an unusual color on your fence

very odd color indeed!
Well, the town took a beating on
Saturdays. The street was packed
from sun-up until late at night
when the farmers started back to
the country. Sunday churchgoers
were confronted by the entire
length of Walnut, from the bank
corner over to the Holland store,
covered with banana skins, peanut
shells, and other rubble. The
horses had added more than their
two-cents' worth, also. 1t was a
rare experience. especially when
the streets had also recently under
gone a new layer of oyster shells.

| see nothing in the near-term
picture, barring war, that could ex-
ert strong upward pressure on
prices of industrial commodities.
Supplies. for the most part, will
easily suffice for requirements in
the months ahead. However, al
lowance must be made for higher
wage and transportation costs, not
all of which can be absorbed by
producers. Under the circumstan-
ces, | forecast moderately higher
prices for industrial commodities
sometime before the year is out.
Outstanding in the metals group
is the fact that supplies, in almost
all instances, are easily ample for
prospective near-term require
ments. Thus, a sustained price
rise over the immediate. future is
unlikely. A fall pickup in business,
and especially automobile product
ion, could increase overall demand
for metals; but such an increase
may not mature. The steel makers,
however, face higher wage costs
on December 1, and may have to
pass a part of them along.
FARM PRODUCTS, CATTLE AND
HOGS
Some supply stringency is indi-
Gated in a few new-crop canned
vegetables, particularly corn and
peas. This could mean higher
prices. Generally large paintings
of feed and food grains last spring
point to a siZable total out-turn,
barring serious crop damage. The
new crops, plus generally big
carry-overs, should exert downward
pressure on prices of most farm

products over near-term months.
Prices of fed cattle may weaken
further, owing to sizable market
ings, but should recover moder-
ately later in the summer. With
pasture conditions generally good,
ranchers are in no hurry to sell
feeder cattle; but I forecast rather
heavy runs by late summer or ear
ly fall, with some price weakness.
Hog prices are working up to a
summer peak perhaps around
$50 per cwt. The next broad move
should be downward. though the
fall or early winter low should be
above that of a year ago.
MORE INFLATION AHEAD?
Despite the overall price sta
bility of the past few years, the
issue of further initiation is by no
means a dead duck. Should the De-
mocrats win the forthcoming nat
ional election, the groundwork for
further price initiation will have
been laid. If the Republicans
should win, initiation might be held
in abeyance. In either case, a small
Korean-type war would be inflat-
ionary.
In conclusion, on the basis of
available statistics / see little in
the near-term picture pointing TO
further general price increases.
Supplies for the most part are am
pie, and productive capacity in
many instances is excessive. Such
conditions are now not conducive
to price spiral in either the me-
tails or farm products. But war or
certain sudden deaths could quick
| ly change the outlook.

BOGGS ENDORSED-The Boggs
for u. S. Senate bandwagon began
rolling in Chicago on Wednesday
when the Delaware delegation =
delegates, alternates and visitors
passed resolution unanimously
that Governor Boggs consider him.
self a candidate for the Senate.
The resolution was presented at
the afternoon caucus of the Della
ware delegation in the Hotel Sher-
man by Clair J. Kiloran, Whining
ton attorney.
1t was seconded by virtually ev-
eryone in the room. At that mom-
ent, Ellwood Leach, state COP
chairman, took over the chairman
ship of the Eleeting from Governor
Boggs who was presiding as chair
man of the delegation.
! The resolution was quickly
i adopted and the Governor was call
ed upon for a speech.
All he said was: "Gosh-this-was
not on my agende for this after
noon.
Beyond that, he wouldn't say any
thing more.
However, there was no doubt in
any ones mind about it. Caleb
Boggs will run for the U. S. Sen
ate on the Republican ticket and
face the toughest fight in his long
career as public officer.
Even Pennsylvania u. S. Sen
ator Hugh Scott got into the Boggs-
for-Senator act.
The popular Pennsylvanian, who
served on the Republican platform
committee with Killoran and Mrs.
Myrtha Calhoun of Dagsboro, sent
back a message to Governor Boggs.
1t was Killoran who relayed the
information.
Senator Scott asked me to con-
vey this message to his very good
friend, Governor Boggs:
s'Tell Gale that if he'll only
come out and announce his candi-
dacy, he'll beat Frear (U. S. Sem
ator ]. Allen Frear, Jr., who is ex-
pected to be the Democratic can
didate for the Senate by Al.
After the caucus, a number of
Delawareans were asked for their
candid opinion on whether Boggs
can defeat Frear.
The answers went something like
this:
4 think so but not by four to
one ratio"
''It'll be close but I'm sure Gale
will win. He'd never get into the
battle if he didn't think he had a
good chance"
"It,s be the darnest campaign in
the history of Delaware two pop
uIar men running for the same of
fee and two of the swellest fellows
1 know"
The delegates leaving before the
convention is over are on their
way to the Kent-Sussex Fair in
Harrington.
Mr.. Townsend said he hated to
miss the fair since it had been es-
tablished during his administration
as governor and he hasn't missed
one since it began in 1919.

We four older Dickerson guarded
Leslie with our lives down there by
the water. Last night after dinner,
here at home when we thought any
emergencies were remote as far as
she was concerned; she stuck her
tiny arm in the drawer underneath
my electric stove. The oven was
still on baking our dessert, and
somehow her body shut the drawer
on her arm and her tender skin
baked under the oven heat! Above
her right elbow she has a nasty
looking raw burn the size. of an
egg. Good neighbors came in and
dressed the burn for us last night
so she wouldn't rub it raw during
the nights. Hayes and I were ra-

Dear Friends:
It's kinda rough to spend five
days at a resort area where people
come unglued from the fast world
of today and relax. First on my
list when l relax is kicking off
my shoes. Others at the Ozarks re-
lax only by eating twice day and
sleeping later in the morning.;
many men skip shaving. 'Tis true.
Lake of the Ozarks tends to re-
laxed living and you enjoy it so
much for while, but soon you tire
of that lazy living and become anx-
ious to get home and back in the
routine of things again.
The part of this life / easily
wished to forget were our daily
headlines in the paper. Cuba, Con-
go, and the pitiful faces of the six
wives from our wing who sat in on
the General Conference at the Uni
ted Nations. Did you see the article
about them in Life issue of July 25 /?
Those girls are walking around in
shock really and yet they'll do any
thing to learn more about the stat
us of their Air Force husbands.
Friends and family here are taking
care of their ten children and our
wing footed the bill for their COM
mercial flight east. Seems little
enough to do for them.

NO CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
ON WHEAT

The House of Representatives, in sur
prise move, recently defeated bill to raise
price supports for wheat and cut total ac-
reage. AS a result of this vote, there seems
to be little chance of any new wheat legis-
lation in 1860.
This is a serious turn of events, in an
already critical farm situation, which is
costing the taxpayer several billion dollars
a year. Wheat stocks on hand total more
than 1,300,000,000 bushels.
Moreover, the 1860 crop is expected to
be large one, and it may add as many as
200,000,000 bushels to the current surplus
Prior to the recent House action, the
Senate had passed bill which would have
kept wheat price supports at the same level,
which is about rs per cent of parity, or
SLIT per bushel, and cut wheat acreage by
about 20 per cent. The House narrowly
missed going along with this bill, in a 211-
1876 vote prior to its defeat of bill favored
by the House Agriculture Committee.
AS result of this, prospects are dim
for any action on wheat, and the surplus is
expected to grow larger and the problem to
continue. Politicians disagree on the effect
of Congress- behavior, but certainly the
Democrats, who control Congress, have not
achieved anything positive.
The Republicans, who have been run
ming the agriculture program in the country
for the past eight years, also have their
problems. The nation-which would bene-
fit by sensible corrective approach to the
wheat problems the real loser because of
congressional inaction.

Babson Park, Mass, July %. Now
that fears of further drastic price
initiation in the us. appear to have
temporarily subsided, this is an
opportune time to check the over
all situation with regard to whole
sale commodity prices. / also ven
ture a forecast on the outlook for
a few selected groups.
RECORD OF THE INDEXES
Although commodity prices as
whole are at a relatively high level,
it is interesting to note that very
little of this price initiation has oc-
Cured during the past two or
three years. The Bureau of Labor's
overall price index recently stood
at 1875, compared with 1877 a
year ago, 1892 two years ago, and
117.4 in June 1857 Industrial prices
also have been fairly stable, the
1860 June average of 1882 COM
pairing with 1882 year ago, 1888
two years ago, and 1852 for June
1857. Farm products prices are
slightly under the year-ago level.
Despite the overall price sta
bility of the past several years,
there have been wide shifts up and
down in prices of many individual
commodities. l expect such shifts
to continue. Hence, it is vitally i'm
portant to buyers and sellers to
study and appraise the supply-de-
mand ratios prevailing, or likely
to prevail. in individual items.
These ratios will largely deter
mine price action of group mem
bers, whichever way the group it,
self may be moving.

HELP FROM THE HAMS

Those two Would-be champions of offend
ed virtue, Khrushchev and Gromykoy may yet
turn out to have been this countrys best
friends in the U-2 summit crisis. By playing
their roles-and their cards-with such ham,
my over-emphasis, they have taken much of
the sting out OF their charges against the
United States.
First it was Khrushchev in Paris, ranting
and using gutter language in press confer
ence attended by correspondents from all
over the world. Then it was Gromyko before
the United Nations Security Council Will
flying the United States and President Eisen-
hover in terms that obscured whatever sub
stance there might have been in his claims
that we were endangering world peace.
Gratitude need not be confined to these
two heavy-handed operators. The American
people must also feel both gratitude and pride
when they consider the calm, reasoned-and
therefore far more Notwithstanding of the
situation by President Eisenhower in his re-
port to the nation and by Ambassador Lodge
in the forum of the Security Council. They
met wild-eyed condemnation with cool ap-
praisal of world situation in which espion-
age is one of the facts of life. They used
rapiers against bludgeonS and there is little
doubt that they triumphed in the eyes of the
world
1t does not follow that all is now well. 1t
does not follow that since we have focused
a spotlight on Soviet espionage and won a
clear victory in the Security Council every
thing is as it was. That is not true. The
summit collapse has intensified the cold war.
AS the President said in his address, we must
keep strong, continue "business-like deal
ings" with the Soviet Union, and press for
ward with positive programs at home and
abroad There must be no let-dOwn.
