lion of federal funds over three
years to aid the states in school
construction or payment OF
teacher salaries.
"As a businessman" Hecht
testified, 81 firmly believe that
the future of this country and
its influence on the world OF
tomorrow hinges almost entire
ly on the kind of educational
opportunities we give today's
children.
"As a businessman, l am
equally firm in the belief that
our whole educational effort
will fall far short unless sup
port of public education from
the federal government is forth
coming"
The pending legislation, Hecht
said, is even more important
that the National Defense Edu-
cation Act, passed several years
ago.
"As a magazine publisher, "
he said, Il often hear from par
ents. Those messages echo
over and over what we all
know-that there is a foeful
shortage of good teachers and,
in many communities, great
shortage of classroom space. 1t
is literally crying shame that
in a country so advanced and
SO prosperous, thousands and
thousands of children must be
limited to half day sessions.
Millions of others must be
squeezed into bulging class
rooms where over-worked tea
chers cannot possibly do an eff
fective job"
Hecht said he was particular
ly pleased that the pending leg
islation specified that federal
funds should go to the states,
thereafter to be treated as state
funds for the accomplishment

Employment
CONTINUED from Page u


able goods and transportation
equipment and in construction
industries. 1t also is evident
that unemployment in these
areas is above average for the
state in times of recession.
Greatest decline in employ
ment is in the field of agricul-
ture. Surveys in this area are
difficult because of the numbers
of seasonal or migrant workers
! involved, but the total number
of workers seems to have drop
ped about one-third in the last
20 years.
! Industrial expansion in Della
ware has attracted people to
the state, especially during the
last decade, the report indicates,
but an imbalance in employ
ment opportunities and the rap
idly enlarging population con-
tributed to the first significant
structural unemployment prob
lem in Delaware in 1858. Prior
ito this time, unemployment
since 1889 had been associated
with cyclical or seasonal job
opportunities.
Among the many interesting
statistical comp lations are
those relating to personal in
come. The report states: "On
the basis of personal income
! data, Delaware's econom c
growth since 1899 has surpass-
ed that of the nation as a
whole. The period of l948 to
1858, however, Is that of Della
wares remarkable growth in to-
tai personal income. Between
l948 and 1858, Delaware's in
dex of total personal income
has increased by more than
twice as much as the index
for the United States as a
whole"
Predictions for the sixties in
clude a forecast of further in
dustrial development, especial
ly in the northern part of the
state.
According to the report,
There is reason to suppose
that the site location available,
particularly strategic in North
ern Delaware, coupled with an
excellent tran p ortation net
work will attract two general
kinds of industry. First, there
will be those which can use
the ample water of the Della
ware River for transportation
and temperature control, follow
ed by their satellites. Thus, the
chemical and petroleum refining
industries can find excellent
basic facilities. Their suppliers
and/or customers can also be
expected to move into the vi
cinity. Second, there are those
industries seeking convenient
access to the densely populated
strip from Boston to Washing
ton. Where distribution costs
can be minimized by the estab.
lishment of assembly plants
both light and heavy, or by set
ting up bulk warehouse opera
tions, Delaware offers excellent
facilities and relatively cen
trail uncrowded location"

Rockville Girl Rates High
I'm AEMarah Farm Contest

Miss Vivien Stanton, 500
Beall ave., Rockville, placed
seventh in a special contest for
teen-agers trying to win one of
the top Arabian colts from the
famous Al-Marah Ara bia n
horse farm near here.
More than 100 youngsters
from 40 States and Canada
competed in the contest, which
consisted OF a stiff one-hour ex-
animation dealing with horse
management and Ara bia n
horses as a breed. Object of
the test was to determine that
the winning youngster knows
Arabian horses well and fully
understands the problems in
volved in raising a good horse.
Vivien did especially well, ac-
cording to Mrs. Garvin E.
Tankersley, who operates the
Al-Marah Farms, because the
test was designed so that no

one could hope to answer all
questions completely and cor
rectly. Many adults, with
years of experience with
Arabian horses, will have a
hard time answering all the
questions" she said.
The contest was held in con.
junction with the sale at public
auction of 81 Arabian horses
from the Al-Marah Farms, the
largest commercial Arabian
horse farm in the country, if
not in the world.
Top price in the auction was
$1,000 for Indriffnant, a mahog-

1859, and purchased by A. M.
Work, of the Sea Horse Ranch,
Portland, Ore.

Gilman became so incensed at
a taxpayers single-handed cam
paign to investigate the city's
police department that he called
for the woman to be flushed
and stopped" in an outburst at
this weeks council session.
Councilman Edwin Turner
spared no words after hearing
a letter from Mrs. Benjamin
Rockman, 7105 Carroll ave-,
querying Mayor George M.
Miller and the Council about
Chief of Police Samuel Foster
and his force.
Mayor Miller previously had
told Mrs. Rockman at an open
meeting to put her questions
and charges in writing. He had
said this was a policy required
of all citizens. Mrs. Rockman
did not appear Monday night,
but her letter containing nine
questions was read by City
Clerk and Treasurer Haynes
Pridgen along with other cor
respondence.
Turner declared Mrs. Rock
mans letter made no charges
ana to answer her questions
would take any number of
hours and research"
"She is carrying on the at.
tack for personal reasons with
no basis" he stated. "She's got
to be hushed and stopped.
People like this should be
halted in public meetings"
Mrs. Rockman's letter stated
that for the past two meetings
she has been trying to get in
formation but was told by the
Council it does not answer
questions unless they are in
written form.
Her principal concern is the
500 turnover in the Police De
partment, which she maintains
is expensive to the city.
Here are the questions pre-
sented in her letter:
/. rs it customary for all de-
partments to make tape record.

to the public safety committee

larvae left from dog and cat waste
that can cause a disease which can
permanently damage a child's liver.
Allowing little girls to chew on
their braids is aso hazardous, re-

strands may form into hair balls
in the stomach. The masses of
tangled hair may cause serious
trouble and must be removed by
