IF THIS CANCER should begin to tester our society, the
whole place will be one grand mass Of %worm-eaten corruption
which would be intolerable to man and beast alike. It must
not happen. These Islands are too small too literate, too in
teligent, and too beautiful to fall prey to such mortal sins.
Our people ought to be free to be born, grow up, i've, work,
and play where the air is free and clean, and they may look
each man-and the sm-in the face without suffering from the
man-made scourge Of discrimination.

TAX TIME
BY
Farm Management Specialist
Agriculture Extension Service
University of Delaware

When 1 was a boy back on the
farm, the barn door right beside
the hay chute was my Dads fav-
orite place for important figures
and records. He always felt it
had certain advantages over a pi-
ece of paper-it wasn't so likely
TO blow away or get lost. Besides,
in bad weather. he could do his
figuring and watch it rain, too.
OF course, Dad, in his day, didn't
worry much about income tax.
That was something for the Wall
Street tycoons and Dad was only
a country boy. But it's different
today. Almost everyone has to pay
some income tax or at least file
a tax return. Let's admit that
most of the financial records kept
on the farm today are kept for
the purpose of tax filing.
Farming since Dads day has
changed from "a way of life" to
a highly complex and competitive
business venture. Modern farming
a multitude of cash expenses and
receipts and large capital invest
ments with their high deprecia-
tion costs. The chances are that
the farmer who still attempts to
keep his records ION the barn
door" or Gin his head" is paying
more tax than necessary.
It's not hard to keep track of
the big receipts such as the milk
checks, the sale of wheat, and the
bouncing check you got for Old
Bessie the cow. But, how about
the great quantity of small ex-
penses-many of them paid in
cash-such as bolts, nails, lumber,
window glass, repair parts, twine,
etc.? If you don't put them down
in some permanent record book
as they occur, you are going to
forget about many of them.
Even though most farm records
are kept for income tax filing
purposes, these same records can
be of value to the farmer for
other purposes, too. A good, care
fully kept record will provide a
historical picture of the perfor-
nance of the farm. 1t points out
the enterprises on your farm that
are making money for you. Also.
good records will indicate the
weaknesses in your farm business.
Records furnish you with a basis
for comparing your crop and
livestock yields with various feed
ing or fertilizer treatments, with
different breeds or varieties, with
other farmers in your community, &
most important of all. with the
progress you are making in i'm
proving the productivity of your
farm.
If properly kept and properly
used, farm records show you the
progress you have made, the
strong points you want to empha-
size in your farm, the weak points
to be improved. and serve as a
basis for developing "a longtime
farm plan designed to yield the
largest possible family income.

Skiing Need Not Be
Dangerous Sport

and painfully sore arches and ank-
les.
So-called safety" bindings are
misnamed, for they have hazards
of their own. They can save you
a fracture in a fall, but too loosely
adjusted, they can come adrift
when you don't want them to,
causing an accident And since the
advent of quick-release bindings
(the proper term), ski doctors
have had to treat many cuts caus-
ed by free, failing skis
/ favor both toe and heel re-
leases, but they must be properly
adjusted. Beginners should have
their bindings adjusted by good
ski shop, to the skier's muscle
strength, not his weigh. Don't re-
adjust them yourself, but have
them checked frequently.
Check your releases each
morning and afternoon, making
sure the binding hasn't frozen up.
When they do, they have no safety
factor whatever.
Never ski when fatigued, for
many accidents happen on that
last run of the day. Watch your
step when weather or snow con-
ditions change suddenly, as in late
afternoon when the sun goes
down and the snow starts to free
re. Be cautious toward the end
of each run. Falls on steep hills
aren't nearly so dangerous as
those on the flat run-out at the
foot of the slope.
Actually, far more skiers are
incapacitated each year by sick
ness than by injury. Colds, flu,
strep throat and pneumonia are
real hazards at ski resorts, partly
because skiers get exposed to
alien bugs" they haven't built a
resistance against at home.
Arrive for skiing rested, not in
a state of exhaustion. Get plenty
of sleep, and build up to skiing
gradually.
Dress warmly rather than too
scantily. Remove outer garments
or open them up, before over
Put them on when you
stop exercizing to avoid chilling.
On the slopes, observe courtesy
and watch out for the other fell
low; collisions cause many ski
accidents. Almost all accidents
are preventable. Don't ski reck-
lessly or beyond your skill. Stay
under control. In nine ski acci
dents out Of ten, somebody skied

Gov. BucksOn Fights
Appointive Odds

Gov. David P. Buckson has sent
the names of 19 appointees to the
ocratic-controlled General AS
sembly for confirmation which
will probably never come.
He also filled two vacancies
on state commissions which do
not require Senate confirma-
ton.
In a gesture, regarded generally
as futile, Buckson sent to the new
Legislature the names of IL per-
sons appointed by former Gov j.
Caleb Boggs last year, including
justices of the peace, election de-
partment members, and commiss-
ion members.
His own TWO appointees also
face rough shedding. He named
Samuel w. Gravenor, of Town
send, a former Teamsters I'm
ion official and a Democrat, and
Ford NJ. Warrington of Laurel to
be members of the three-man In
dustrial Accident Board
Warrington, a Republican has
an expired term since May 2, 1859.
Buckson got the chance to name
two members of the Board when
Harry B. Roberts, Jr., of Odessa re-
signed to be sworn in as New
Castle County Levy Court Com
missioner. This allowed him to re-
appoint Warrington after first
putting a Democrat on the Board
as required by law.
In informal ceremonies in the
governors office, Buckson ap-
pointed James Somerville of Dow
er to be a member of the Board
of Trustees of the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst for a term
expiring April 26, 1862. Sommer-
is the COP candidate for state
treasurer defeated in the Nov. 8
election. The appointment does
not require Senate confirmation.

(Some of the safety factors
to follow in skiing are told
in the following story. 1t was
written especially for AP
Newsfeatures by DR.. Robert
r.. Oden, orthopedic surgeon,
who treats most of the ski
injuries at Aspen, Colo, each
year,
BY DIR. Robert R. Oden
A S p EN-. Colo. (AP)-Skiing
whatever crepe hanging non-ski-
ers tell you, isn't a dangerous
sport.
Skiing is hard to compare with
other amateur action sports. Hunt
ing, boating, swimming, sports
car racing and water skiing cause
many fatal accidents each year
Skiing inflicts some injuries, but
seldom disabling ones. And skiing
virtually never kills anyone.
Statistics compiled at Aspen in
dicate that the average skier here
can expect to ski better than 200
days without an accident requir-
ing medical attention. He can ski
800 days without fracturing a
bone.
The average pleasure skier skis
less than 25 days each season.
So the odds are excellent that
you can ski a lifetime with never
a fracture or other serious injury.
What small risk does exist is
immeasurable decreased if you
observe common sense safety
rules:
Preseason conditioning is i'm
portant. Strong, timber muscles
delay fatigue. Accidents happen
far more frequently to tired ski
ers. Conditioning should begin
six weeks before you ski. Work
up to 100 deep knee bends each
day, then start one-legged ones.
OF course, you should also walk
a lot and get the torso and arms
into shape with other physical
work and calisthentics.
Good equipment is essential Ski
boots must fit, especially at the
heel. They must give good ankle
support and bind the foot solidly
to the ski. If your boots feel COM
Portable, they are probably too
timber. Lacing has to be tighten
ed two or three times a day, for
boots stretch as they get wet and
work.
But too tight lacing cuts off
circulation and makes for cold feet
