1862 Budget
Preparations

Prince Edward county super
visors concurred Tuesday in the
move to bring an end to the 27-
yea:-old school division which
has united the county with Cum
berland under a single admins
trative head since 1882.
In a resolution of concurrence,
the board, in more of a curtesy
action than one legally requir-
ed, endorsed the Prince Edward
county school board action
agreeing to the separation.
The Cumberland school board
initiated the action last month in
a move to win their own county
system.
The separation petition also
carries, the endorsement of the
Cumberland supervisors, now
will go to the State Board of Ed
ucation for a final decision. 1t
requests the establishment of
the two counties as separate
school divisions by July l.

leaving the health cost to the
county for 196l-62 at $5,087.
The proposed expenditure is
up $122 for the county portion, and
$40 for the town. over the fig
ures for the current year.
New County Nurse
DR.. Clements also informed
the board that Mrs. Carolyn P.
Williams, of Panlplin, has been
obtained for the post of county
Public Health Nurse to replace
Mrs. Fannie E. Thomas. Mrs.

Further confirmatio could be the sighting of gray whales headed south from the Ber- ing Sea thru the Aleutians down the California coast to Baja California and it's lagoons 5000 mi les away from the Bering Sea. They usually hit the Baja lagoons around the lst of January. San Diegans on duty at Adak probably thought little about ever doing duty ~ in the far north where the whales they - atched go by from Lookout Point at Fort Rosecrams came from.
 The whales breed in Baja and in al- ternate years the COWS bear their young in relatively shallow water so the in- fant can raise itself enough to get air. he whales when born are about IA to Y feet in length and they are nursed until they reach approximately 25 feet. After this they make the re- turn trip, 5000 mi les back to the Ber- ing Sea at knots an hour.

Hunting Outlook

Upland game hunters should en-
JOY another excellent season this
year. This prediction is based on
HELD observations of the Delaware
Game and Fish Commission.
Rabbit, quail, pheasant and SPUR
rel have experienced an excellent
breeding season. Reports indicate
that dove populations continue at
a high peak. The deer herd con-
tinues to grow, especially in south
ern Delaware.
Waterfowl hunters will find a
continued abundance of geese. The
situation with ducks is not so fav-
orable. A generally poor breeding
season for black ducks will put
fewer of these birds into the At
lantic flyway this fall, hence, the
reduction to only two black ducks
in the daily bag of three and sun
rise to sunset shooting hours.
Black duck populations have
continued to decline during the last
few years in the Atlantic flyway.
Contrary to an opinion widely held
by duck hunters, it appears that
the gunners in this flyway are
taking too heavy a toll OF the
black duck to permit it's numbers
to increase.

Human Elements Blamed
For Form Accidents

The human elements of fatigue
hurry and carelessness are the
"chief factors" causing farm ac-
cidents. a study indicated.
A survey OF the causes of 105
farm injuries and a comparison of
the farms on which they occurred
with 125 accident-free farms were
Archives OF Environmental Health,
published by the American Medical
Association.
The study was made in Dane
County, Wis.,, by Drs. John p.
Cleary. James A. Benzmiller, Earl
ing A. Kloppedal. Donald j. Gal
lagher and Alfred s. Evans. IN

Medicine. Madison. Wis.
Machines were associated with
more than half the injuries. the
authors reported, and in 20 per
cent Of the cases the accident oc-
Cured while the victim was en-
gagged in routine farm work. The
mishap occurred in the barn or
barnyard in more than half the
cases, they said.
In % injuries judged prevent
able by the use of a safety device,
they said, there was no safety de-
vice on the machine or the existing
safety device was not in use.
Weather appeared to have little
effect on the incidence of injuries,
the Investigators found. Skies were

sunny in SIS per cent of the cases,
they said.
On the other hand, they said:
1.-THE time of day would seem
TO have definite relationship to
the occurrence of farm injuries
Seventy-five per cent occurred af-
ter o'clock in the afternoon
These findings suggest that fatigue
plays an important role"
Courses in farm safety had been
taken by 38 per cent of the victims
or members Of their immediate
family and AZ per cent of the vic
tins had sustained previous farm
injuries. the group reported.
One fourth Of the injured per-
sons admitted they were in a hur-
ry at the time Of the accident,
they said.
Children are often involved in
farm accidents because they are
allowed to take part in activities
too complex for their physical and
mental capacities, such as operat-
ing a tractor, and are allowed to
play in the vicinity of running
machines, the authors commented
The researchers discovered no
startling differences" between the
farms on which accidents occurred
and accident free neighbOring
farms.
Thus, it would seem to US that

hurriedness. and carelessness were
the chief factors in the ultimate
causation of those accidents re-
viewed in this survey" they con-
cluded.
Milford chronicle., 1961-09-08

THE higher past history of ac-
cidents on accident farms as com.
pared with controls points to char
acter habits of the individuals as
playing a determining role in the
frequency of injury, but means
were not found to identify the
traits themselves"
Discussing approaches to proven
ton. the researchers said:
Most important would be to in
still genuine respect for the
farm machine and the farm ami
NAL and their potential danger. A
pride in achievement of accident
control must be stimulated in
farming groups, just as pride in
safety programs has been impOr-
tant in industry.
Next would be the establish
ment of self-discipline for slow
ing the pace and for taking regu-
lar rest periods. 1t is quite possible
that increased output rather than
decreased output might result.
Third, would be he prohibition
Of children from the use of farm
machines and keeping them away
from the machine when it is in
operation. Tractors and other
machinery should be operated only
by licensed operators.
Fourth, would be the actual use
of all safety devices and the de-
velOpment of new ones"

Private Land
Hunters are required to observe
the rights of owners, with regard
to private land. Permission must
be obtained from the owner before
entering private property. Most
farmers will readily grant permits

New Bird Chaser
Developed Up Stote

There's something new under
the sun-and it's strictly for the
birds!
It's the ABC Chaser, successor
to the old fashioned scarecroW, an
invention by Peter Bender, New
Castle, Delaware farmer, who tired
of having blackbirds and other
pests destroy his crops-particu-
larly his sweetcorn.
Although the gadget could easily
be mistaken for an outdoor bar
beque set, it has a potent force
that emits sounds three times
louder than shotgun and sends
birds and scavengers scattering in
all directions when in operation,
according to its inventor.
The Delaware farmer says his
invention has great value in rid
ding airport runways OF blrds-a
problem that is thought to have
caused at least one major air di-
saster.
This week, "the chaser" will be
demonstrated at Idlewild Airport,
New York and Greater Wilmington
Airport, New Castle County, Del
aware to prove its effectiveness
on runway clearance. Bender an
ticipates successful reports.
, Bender's invention is a compact
unit which can be adjusted in
height while crops are growing,
and has a full $50 degree cover
age from a rotary motion which
distributes the sound waves over
an area of forty acres or one
quarter of square mile. The unit
is light weight and portable OPP
GRAFTON can increase its effective
ness.
Once the unit has been assembl-
ed for operation, it is only nee
essary to make one turn of the
wrist to start or stop operation.
Using acetylene gas for propul-
sion, the degree of gas used con-
trolls the rapidity with which the
shots are fired.
Bender says that through ex-
Fermentation for a full year. he
has been able to eliminate opera
tiOnal variabilities-con the
effects of the wind, moisture, and
other NATURAL phenomena. He says
the chaser" has won the ap-
prevail of agriculture authorities
and he has applied for a patent
He expects to have his new "se-
cret weapon against scavengers
into full production within the
next few weeks
This little apparatus is abso-
lutely safe since it uses no ex-
plosives" Sender points out. Il
protected over seventeen acres of
sweet corn this year without los
ing single ear of corn" he
added.
Farmers have had no way of
completely combating losses by
scavengers and pests except by
the Old-fashioned scarecrow meth
cd, or by firing a shotgun at
such intervals when birds become
over-burdening to crops" he con-
tinued
THE ABC chaser not only frees
the farmer for other duties but
assures him that by the irreg-
larity of the 'shots" he will be
rid of birds and pests at crop
growing time.
The little machine can also in
crease the yield per acre of corn
and other crops. the inventor, who
lives on Rural Route No. 2, River
Road, New Castle Delaware, points
out.
