to the already well established list
of critics acclaim. Mrs. Heyde will
continue to give concert recitals
during this spring throughout the
South and Midwest. The good
wishes of her friends at home go
forth in her future performances,
hoping that in the successes of a
busy career she will once again
find time to share her joy of music
with us.
Mrs. Raymond Masten, president
of the Auxiliary, welcomed those
attending and graciously express
ed her appreciation of the gener-
osity of Mrs. Heyde and Mr.. Neu-
mann. Mrs. Masten also extended
thanks to the members of the Hos

Tomorrow's Refrigerator

What direction will home Ne-
frigeration take in the future
Atomic coolers? Thermoelectric
freezers? A special refrigerator in
every room?
Home demonstration agent Flor
ence Y Smith, looked into her
atomic powered crystal ball and
reports that atomic power has not
been developed in small enough
units to be practical for refriger-
alton. (Her atomic powered crys-
tai ball is. an exception to this
trend, she said).
+ On the other hand, the thermo-
electric principle has not been de-
veloped in large enough power
units to be practical for home re-
frigeration. However, the .thermo-
electric method is well adopted to
precise temperature regulation
Perhaps this system will come into
use with small units scattered
about the living area, especially
set for fruits, vegetables, meats,
ice cubes, ice cream, etc. ~s-,..-.a y
If the, standard Of living reaches
a high enough level, so that de-
mand viii enable manufacturers
to mass, produce small refrigera-
tor units, Mrs Smith thinks we
may have ice water in the bed
room and a special cooler foI
drinks and barbecue products out
in the patio.
For the time being we are going
to stick with the standard com

ator, the home demonstration. agent

ware Chapter of the National As
sociation of PostInasters, attended
by all the postmasters involved, at
the Seaford Country Club, Seaford,
Delaware.
This extension of the plan, in
effect in the Philadelphia metro
politan area since October 81, 1858,
brings the total benefits of the
program to $50 post offices in 20
counties of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware, covering
about 500 square miles, and serv-
ing a population of 5,670,000.
Postal patrons in the area are
now assured that, barring occa-
sional human failures in distribu-
ton, first class letters deposited
before 500 p. m. on business
day will be delivered to the desti-
nation within the area on the
first delivery trip of the following
business day, Greene added.
The new extended program has
been in test operation since Feb
ruary 29, 1860. The results have
exceeded the expectations of postal
officials. 1t has also been noted
by them that improvement in SER
vice beyond the large area de-
scribed has resulted from imple-
mentation of this plan.
Due to the distances involved,
intensive study and planning were
necessary to accomplish the de-
sired improvements. Personnel
from the Philadelphia Region and
post offices in the area have work
ed as team to develop this pro-
gram and put it into effect.
The improved service hinges pri-
marily upon an express vehicle
service from Seaford and Dover to
Wilmington and Philadelphia. The
vehicles connect with express We
hicle service from Wilmington to
Upper Darby, Pennsylvania; Jen-
kintown, Pennsylvania; and Cam.
den, New Jersey Terminal Con.
centration Centers. Connection il
also made with express vehicle
service to Lehigh and Northamp
/ ton Counties in Pennsylvania Thii

Chemicals Mean
Better Crops

I'VE cannot continue to produce
adequate amounts of safe and
wholesome foods without chemi-
GALS" said Secretary of Agricul-
ture Ezra Taft Benson, in a state
ment issued by the U. S. Depart
nent of Agriculture.
Chemicals play an important and
necessary role in food production,
Mr.. Benson said, and the govern
ment takes the responsibility for
seeing that the chemicals used are
carefully controlled and that better
chemicals and methods are devel-
oped. The responsibility includes
pesticide and insecticide regula-
tions, chemical tolerance levels,
chemical control methods, and an
extensive research program The
Objectives of research are to de-
velop safe and effective chemicals
and to discover non-chemical
means to insure better and safer
foods
Chemicals used in food produc-
ton must be approved and tested
Then they. must be used safely and
carefully, he emphasized.
When proper precautions are
taken, chemicals can help give us
bigger and better crops
Abandoning their use on farms
and in the food industry would re-
suit in an immediate decline in the
quantity and overall quality of our
food supply and cause a rapid
rise in food prices paid by consum-
ers," he said.
1t is vital that the regulations
and work of the federal govern
ment be understood so the public
can be assured of safe, clean. and
wholesome food.
