TO find him. His companion on the

The 65-foot boat had left Nor

Landing where bridge material is
being fabricated.
Greet was spotted on the shore,
waving, Thursday morning, and res

He was back home Friday, not too
seriously the worse off. He, said
the storm came up quickly, and
blew the barges down-wind so
forcefuliy, that they pulled the
tugboat underwater and capsized
1t. He said he saw Capt. Dowdy
jump over board in a life ring,
while he got on the ife-raft, and
drifted ashore, after being in the
water from 8 pm. Wednesday to
5 am. Thursday. He managed to
get into the old shack where he
built fire and dried himself out.
Chief Dowdy had served several
years as both Chief of Police, and
Deputy Sheriff in Manteo. He was
h-SfHy ASStIueu, anu was d StpdolS
boatdnan. He had worked for many
years in the shrimp industry on the

sunk in II feet of water some
three miles southwest of North

Labels Contain
Important Clues

81 should have read the LABEL
is the moan of unhappy consumers
when they find food they have pur-
chased doesn't come up to their ex-
peetations.
This disappointment and waste
of money could have been preven-
ted had these shoppers read the
label carefully to determine exact
| ly what they were buying, says,
Miss Janet l.. Coblentz, Extension
nutrition specialist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware.
Information on package labels is
a good clue to the quality and type
of food to be found inside the pack
age, according to Miss CoblentZ.
Labels must tell you the common
name of the product. the net weight
of the contents and the address of
the packer or distributor.
In addition, they must indicate
the type or style of the food and
what chemical preservatives, color
ing or artificial flavoring have been
added.
Pictures on labels are required
by law TO fairly represent the pro-
duct inside the package. A can
picturing sliced beets would be ILL
egally labeled If the can actually
contained whole ons.
Ingredients of the product must
be listed on the label, usually in.
order of importance. But for some
foods. such as fruit cocktail. the
common name of the products is
sufficient to identify the ingredient
Legal standards of identity have
been set up for fruit cocktail which
specify the amounts of the differ
ent fruits that are present. Sim
ilarly, the term mayonnaise has
been defined by law TO signify
dressing with 65 percent oil COM
bined with egg, the necessary acid
and seasonings. Therefore the in
gradients of these products need
not be listed.
But Thousand Island dressing"
and fruits for salads" are common
names of products that have not
been defined by law and the speci-
fic ingredients of these products
must be listed on the label.
Many foods such as macaroni and
noodle products, bakery goods, can
ned fruits and vegetables, wheat
and corn flour, margarine, french
dressing. salad dressing and choco-
late and cocoa products have been
standardized as to their ingredients
Miss Coblentz points out.
These standards of identity are
set up by the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration to protect you as a
consumer, Miss Coblentz said.
Being aware of what these stan
dards are, can help you get the
quality and type of product you
desire.
Information on standards of i'd
entity can be obtained by writing
to the Division of Public Infor-
nation, Food and Drug Admins
tration. Washington 25, DC.

In a statement. issued at Dover,
the chief executive has called at

900 golfers against the winner Of
The Round of the Champion" be-
tween p. G. A. Champion Jay Her.
bert and u. S. G. A. Open Cham
pion Arnold Palmer.
During the past nine years,
some 100000 has been realized
from the events that have been
part of the National Golf Week

been used by the Professional
Golfers Association of America to

hOspitalized veterans; to stimulate
youth participation in golf; and
other worthwhile causes. The Uni
ted Service Organizations, the Am
erican Red Cross and the u. S.
Olympic Association are just a
few of the organizations that have
been beneficiaries of this benevo-
lence.
II urge all Delawareans who en-
JOY the wholesome benefits of this
fine form of outdoor recreation to
join in the observance of National
Golf Week, May 20 through June

DSEA Sets Support
Plan For I'll. B. 240

House Bill 24O which provides
for Civil Service for State employ
ees will be supported by members
of the Delaware State Education
Association if all school employees
are amended out of the measure,
according to a resolution adopted
by the Associations Legislative
Committee
In a letter sent to members of
the General Assembly, Charles r.
Harris, Executive Secretary, indica-
ted that officers of the affiliated
sections-nurses secretaries. GUS
todians and cafeteria managers had
met and requested that each group
be excluded from the measure. An
amendment to do this has been in
troduced and placed with the bin
in the Revised Statutes Committee.
Representative r. c. Davidson, ST.
Georges, is Chairman of the Com
mittee
The letter to legislators listed
the following major reasons why
the school employees did not wish
to be a part of Civil Service:
1. The proposal for Civil Service
for State employees developed be-
cause CHE evils of the present sys-
TEN are known. If these conditions
do not exist in the public schools.
what advantage would the measure
bring to these employees?
2. Since present Delaware Code
provides guidance on matters such
as salary, sick leave, minimum re-
quirements for positions. and other
working conditions. the proposal is
not necessary for school employees.
3. Schools are agencies of the
State. but not in the same sense
as other State agencies. Most of
the non-teaching personnel are
drawn from the local community
would the Statewide provisions of
the proposal create more problems
in the matter of personnel admins
tration?
4. With teachers and administra-
tors excluded from the bill would
the inclusion of non-teaching per-
sonnel result in divided control of
the schools? Would the educational
program suffer due to this prob
lem?.

Stepping Up Polio
ImmunizatiOn

The State Board of Health has
begun an intensive program TO have
as many Delawareans as possible
inoculated against polio.
The action was taken by the
board after recent surveys indicat-
ed that the level of polio immuniza-
tion in Delaware is dangerously low
especially among the lower income
groups.
The program in Delaware is be-
ing carried out in conjunction
with a polio immunization program
being conducted throughout the
country by state. federal and local
health services. Surveys which in
dicated 67,O00,O 900 Americans are
not protected against polio promp-
ted the national program.
The state effort will be conduc-
ted by the Delaware and Whining
ton health departments with h e
cooperation of federal health ag-
encies and state and county medi-
cal societies.
Clinics will be set up in Wilm-
ington and throughout New Castle,
Kent and Sussex counties to issue
free shots Of Salk polio vaccine to
all those who need il.
The health agencies are concen-
trating on what they consider the
two most neglected groups in the
immunization program. These are
the pre-school groups. from infan-
cy to five years of age, and the
young adult groups. from 16 to the
mid eos.
Schedules for the clinics and
their locations will be published in
advance. The program is slated to
continue throughout the summer
months.
Although schedules are not i'm
mediately available for Wilmington
and Sussex County. two clinics have
been scheduled for Kent County &
rural New Castle County in the
near future.

From the first measures oi

of fantastic sensitivity. The
kind of supple phrasing. both

employed is easy on an 18th

The Gales sonata, written in
