CAB Directs
United TO Fly
Capital Routes
By the Associated Press

The Civil Aeronautics Board
transferred the three routes of
Capital Airlines to United Air
lines today.
The board reissued Capitals
certificates to United on the
basis Of a showing that all nee
essary steps had been COM
pleted for their merger.
The Nations largest airline
merger moved United from Sec
ond into first place in the in
dustry, well ahead of Ameri-
can Airlines, and reduced the
list of domestic trunk airlines
from IL to II. Capital had
ranked in fifth place by most.
standards.
The Capital routes were
added to those which United
operates in the East and Mid
west and across the United
States to all the major Pacific
Coast cities and to Honolulu.
Routes Affected
The former capital routes:
l.. Route No. IA between Min
neapolis-St. Paul and Detroit,
with separate arms beyond De-
troit to Norfolk. Va, and New
York-Newark.
2. Route No. "a between Buff
falo, N. Y, and Philadelphia
and Washington.
3. Route No. 81 between New
York Newark and Atlanta,
Memphis, New Orleans and
Miami, and between Buffalo
and Pittsburgh.
In a separate order, the CAB
started a United Air Lines
certificate amendment proceed
ing" on the issue of service at
Harrisburg, Pa, between Phil
adelphia and Pittsburgh, and
between Buffalo and Detroit.
Other Steps Considered
The CAB said it tentatively
concluded that:
/. Allegheny and Trans
World Airlines are providing
frequent and convenient East
West service at Harrisburg, and
that city should be deleted
from United's Route 81.
2. Allegheny and TWA are
providing frequent and con-
venient service between Phila-
delphia and Pittsburgh, and
United's New Routes IA and 81
should be amended to require
United's flights between those
two cities to originate or termi-
nate at Omaha, Neb., or cities
west of Omaha.
8. Mohawk and American
Airlines are providing frequent
and convenient service between
Buffalo and Detroit, and
United's certificate for Route
IA should be amended to pro-
hibit operation Of Single
plane" service between those
cities. Single-plane service is
service without a change of
planes.
The merger agreement was
approved by the CAB last
April 8, and was filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State at
Wilmington this morning.

Editorial
EVERYTHING POINTS TO A NATIVE
THE VERY LEAST that President-eIect Kennedy can do
when he takes office is to appoint a native to be governor of
these Virgin Islands. There is no question whatever that such
an appointment would be the only step compatible with the
frontiers of which Mr.. Kennedy spoke 50 ferventy and FREE
quently during the campaign.
EVERYTHING POINTS to a greater, measure Of self
government and home rule for all territories. The United
States has been the leader of the free world in setting the
pace for true democratic process. Of all the great powers it
held the smallest territorial possessions the Philippines,
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands
Hawaii and Alaska are now States Of the Union, the Philip
pines are an independent nation, and Puerto Rico is a com
monwealth (of its own choosing).
WITH THIS TREND, which has received commendable
praise everywhere, which sets the United States off as a
leader Of the free world, it is going to be difficult for the
people Of these Islands to think in terms Of anything but a
native Governor. Already we have had two such appoint
ments de Castro and Merwin = 50 that precedent is estab-
lshed.
years the office was filled by a high
Navy official generally a Captain, or Admiral. Then the
civilian government came in, and politics played its part
Continentals were chosen, many of them receiving the post
almost entirely, it would seem, because of political conSidera-
tons. Then President Truman broke the ice and appointed
a Negro to the post. So now the color bar has been removed,
and consideration is no longer restricted to continentalS, or
purely partisan political %affihation.
AS THINGS NOW stand, it is most unlikely that Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy would want to turn things around and
60 in another direction. Certainly, he would want to confine
his consideration Of candidates among natives, who, BY now,
have proved conclusiyely that they can fill the post, and DO
it with commentator and dispatch. There are many Politi-
caly matured natives who could do credit to themselves and
the position. It cannot therefore be argued with any logic
that we need the leadership from the continent. And the
choice need not be restricted, To the contrary, there is q
rather wide latitude Of choice among natives making it that
much easier for Mt, Kennedy, when he gets around to it

Down To The Sea
With Safety!

This year over 50,000,0OO Ameri-
cans will invade the Bounding
/ Main.
Pleasure boating, by sail or pow
er. is one of Americas top past
times-as the $2.7 billion spent on
this sport last year proves!
There's good reason for this pop
ularity. Boating is one pastime the
whole family can enjoy. If featur IS
seamanship and teamwork. offers
place ito get away from 1t all''
for relaxing weekends.
But did you know that under
present US. laws small boat own
ers don't have to learn correct op-
GRAFTON, as an automobile owner
does? No license is required unless
you carry passengers for hire.
However. the Coast Guard Auxi-
liary has set up certain legal re-
quirements" for boating.
For example. if your motorboat
is less than 16 feet in length and
its propulsion machinery more than
10 horsepower, you must apply to
the USCG for an identification mum
ber. This is comparable to a cars
license plate.
Speeding and water skiing near
swimmers or other boats constit-
ute a hazard under the law provid-
ing for fine "up to $4,000 and
Imprisonment up to one year"
BY CG safety rules, lights must
be displayed on your vessel bet
ween dusk and dawn-different sig
nails when moving and anchored.
An approved" life-saving device
in good condition-must be carried
one for each person on board. You
must also carry a fire extinguish-
er.
The &C also recommends elect
rOnic equipment-Direction finder,
depth finder, radio telephone, etc.
as additional aids to navigational
safety.
For protection against shoals, a
great help is transistOrized depth
finder The DF-90 model, by PACO
Electronics Co, Glendale. l.. l.,
features an extremely bright in
.dicator and easy to read dial. For
the lobbyist. it is available in kit
form. easily assembled and wired,
and at great saving in cost. For
the fisherman. the FP-90 which
registers depths up to 120-is help
full in locating schools of fish.
Although not required by law,
there are many other things nee
essary to safe boating: Among
these are compass for operating
far Offshore. a heavy anchor in
case of rough seas. and charts, pro-
viding invaluable data on water
depth, distractions, distances and
buoy locations.
BY following all-or even most
of hese important safety rules
you'll find boating can not only
be fun. but as safe as a ride on a
ferryboat.

Soil Acidity Corrected
By Lining, Says Agent

Are there robbers in your field
soil acidity." Is this thief hidden
on your farm, stealing your mon
ey?
Associate County Agent, Ed Raj
phi, stressed the fact that too many
farmers let the soil acidity thief
steal their money when they could
kill him by applying lime.
THE acidity problem is serious
in Sussex County because few farm
ers are using enough lime" Ralph
said. MANY soils are so acid crop
yields are low"
Let's take a look at lime-the
means for stopping soil acidity.
What happens if there isn't en-
ough lime in the soil? Your crops
will not grow normally. Acid soils
never rest; they work night and
day taking away your profit and
threatening your future.
Just how does Inning pay? 1t
pays you in many ways: it adds
organic matter, ii increases the
tilth of your soil, it makes for more
and better crops, and healthier and
more profitable livestock. Limstone
used according to soil test direc-
tions can return better than Sc for
every 81 spent; with some crops
lime makes no difference between
success and failure.
No individual can steal profits
from your soil-but soil acidity
can. You will profit by testing your

Safety Council News

Eleven rules for safety in using
power mowers were suggested yes
terday by the Delaware Safety
Council
Mrs. William N. Cam, vice pres
ident for home safety, said the IL
recommendations We're prepared by
the Lawn Mower Institute, and en-
dorsed by the Safety Council.
Like any mechanical tool, a
lawn mower must be used with
care to avoid accidents" Mrs. Cam
said. "It makes sense TO recognize
the dangers of what we are doing
in everyday activities and to take
the simple steps necessary to pro-
tect ourselves. In the case of pow
er mower, these steps are not diff
cult to remember or to follow, and
ii is obvious they will help to
protect mower users.
Here are the IL rules:
l. Start Safely. Stand firmly.
Make sure your feet are in safe
place.
2. Keep in step with your now
ef for perfect control II you lag
behind or let it pull you. you won't
be in full command of the mach
inc. Don't run.
3. Learn how to disengage the
clutch or stop the motor quickly
in case of any emergency. Stop
the motor whenever you leave the
mower.
4. Keep the way clear of little
tots and pets. Don't let them play
around the mower while it is in OPP
Grafton.
5. Always be sure of your foot
ing and balance when moving on
inclines. The sleeper the incline
the more care required.
6. Inspect the lawn that is to
be moved before the moving be-
gins. Clear the lawn of all stones,
wire and other debris.
Z. When grass is wet or when
il is raining, 1t is best not to use
an electric power mower unless
you are certain the entire mower
and the cord are in perfect order.
s. Disconnect the spark plug
wire whenever you want to work
on the underside of a mower. Tip
mower over by means of the han
die. Don't reach under the deck.
