Lexington Turns Out
For Civil Defense
Cd CALL FOR
INDIVIDUAL
ALERTNESS

On Wednesday night Lex
ington citizens assembled in
the w. B. Kenna Auditorium
to face one of the most SER
ious problems of our age-how
10 Individually deal with a
nuclear attack, should it
come. This problem has been
wisely recognized by Lexing-
TONS Civil Defense as one
that would affect not only
vast metropolitan areas, but
also a community such as
Lexington.
Civil Defense organization
is ordinarily organized into
groups of different types and
operates rather inconspi-
cuously in those small sect
ors: the Wednesday night
meeting was differentiated by
the fact that its purpose was
o train the citizens how to
act individually.
The program for the even
ing, on 1.-The Effects of Rad
lation and Protection Against
Radioactive Fall-Out." featur-
ed as its speaker, Hosea
Grisham. Mr.. Grisham has
also in the past week been
the speaker at the Lexington
Rotary Club, after the club
had sent him to Brooklyn,
New York, to receive a three
week course in Pathological
monitoring. One Of the points
of Mr.. Grisham's speech
was that in the event of atom
ic attack. those millions not
destroyed by the initial blast
would probably be threatened
with death by radioactive
fall-out-even those far from
a likely target-unless protect
by fall-out shelters.
An educational film was al
so shown. and instruction was
given on how to build fall-out
shelters.
1t was made public by the
Lexington CD Director, Will
Moses, that Lexington is
soon to receive a 200-bed mo-
bile hospital, completely
equipped with operating table,
X-Ray machine, and drugs.
It will be stored on the sec
.nd floor of the Masonic
Mr.. Moses stressed the fact
that Civil Defense is every
citizens job and asked that
each person avail himself of
this opportunity and respon-
when he is called upon
by the Civil Defense. The
Lexington people will be con-
soon and each person
is asked to do his part.

this paper for Civil Defense

help to you.

Designer Keeps
Men In Uniform
Nv JEAN SPRAIN WILSON

| NEW YORK (AP) = No matter
how the wind blows in the Berlin
crisis, American men will be i'm
military clothes, if haberdashery
designer Robert Beach has any
thing to do with it.
Men have never really gotten
out of them anyway, he claims.
Beach discounts any suggestion
that a former soldier or sailor
might be tired of or psychologi-
cally depressed by khaki, olive
drab or navy blue Indeed, using
these colors, he is designing a
line Of suburban clothes based on
those created by Uncle Sam S
tailor.
II live in the suburbs and all the
men l know out there fish or work
they wear military jackets hunt
ing or sailing"
Because from 10 to 20 years
have passed since many American
men were issued their last govern
ment wardrobe, Beach figur d
some items surely must have
worn out enough to need replac-
ing. (He is also influenced by the
number of American travellers
who buy military looking mems
wear in Europe)
Thus Beach's suburban clothes
in poplins and chino cloth have
plenty of epaulets, straps, knit
belts and slide buckles for real
ism. The line is already extreme
ly successful, Beach claims, ex-
cept for one item.
Because men seemed to like
them for boating, Beach faithfully
copied a navy blue chief petty Of
ficer's jacket. But competition
from Army and Navy surplus
stores was too keen
Beach couldn't find a way to
stamp former soldiers old service
numbers in his jackets. "Men seem
to like this touch" he sighs. 'It
adds charm"

Respect For Office

The American people have ira
ditionally permitted wide latitude
in political criticism OF policies ant
the men who implement them. The
general feeling about men in pub
lie life with thin skins is more Ol
less along the lines of former
President Truman's famous die
tum, "If you can't stand the heat
get out of the kitchen"
AS a result, there is much per-
sonal villification, or at least de-
migration, in politics. Things are
freely said about political figures
that would be considered slander
in any other context. This is still
true, even though an evolving pub
lie concept of what can decently
be said about a man has imposed
some restraints and made criticism
far less venomous than it was a
century ago.
The dividing line between legiti-
mate criticism and the sort of con-
temptuous reference that tends to
degrade a high office or the man
who holds that office is not easy to
define. Some persons would say
there is no dividing line, that any
restraint with such dividing line
in mind places a curb rein on free
political debate. Maybe so, but we
think that respect for the office Of
the presidency, in particular,
should dictate temperance in Ian
guage.
A case in point occurred the 9TH
er day. A leading party man in a
state-of the OppOsi-
tion party, cOntemptu-
ously said of the President: 1--WE
haven't got a leader. This fellow,
Kennedy, is either dumb or soft on
communism The opinion is en-
tirely legitimate. But is it in the
national interest for citizen to re-
fer to the President of the United
States in that context as "this fell
low, Kennedy? We think not We
think that respect is not foreign to
effective criticism.

Midwest Soybesn Expert Says Improved Quality
and Additional Farm Storage Can Open Way
to Greater DeImava Soybean Income

In a lOng-range forecast, Hero
nymus was optimistic about tn,
place of sOybeans in the agricul
tural economy He said that, whilt
brOilers seem close to the point O
receiving an Optimum amount o
protein in their rations, furnished
primarily by sOybean oil m a
many of the larger animals sucf
as dairy cattle, beef, and hogs
could utilize greater amounts Ol
sOybean oil meal in their rations
than they currently receive. The
world population increase with re-
sulting increased demand for pro-
tein and edible oils, and the rela-
lively low level of production o1
these food items abroad, were
pointed. out as other factors what
will maintain the demand for U. S
soybeans.
Following Hieronymus' talk, he
joined panel which answered
questions from the audience. Other
members of the panel were Mr..
Carl w. Ritchi, branch manager
Ion Smith, Sussex county office
manager for the Agricultural Sta
biliZatiOn and Conservation Ser
vice, and DR.. William E. Mcdaniel,
chairman of the department of agri-
cultural economics, University of
Delaware.
Mr.. Ritchie pointed out that To-
cal farmers are docked for weedy
sOybeans. Weed seeds usually con-
tain more moisture than the beans.
They sift down and collect in
masses, heat up, and subsequently
damage the beans through caus-
ing discOlOratiOn and cracks in the
hulls and spoilage of the oil.
DR.. HierOnymus pointed out dis
advantages in selling soybeans at
harvest and using the money to
buy soybean futures for later de-
livery. "Such practice, which is
done to avoid building storage fa-
cilities, usually costs more than
the storage facility would in the
first place, he said 1.-THE reason
is that soybean prices character
istically increase after harvest
they increase usually more than
enough to pay for On-farm storage
for that period, he said.
Mr.. Smith reminded farmers that
they can borrow money from the
ASCS for up to 95 percent of the
total cost, if the amount of the
loan does not exceed a cost of 40
cents per bushel or storage capac-
ity Interest rate is percent per
year and farmers have 5 years to
pay back the loan. Interest is pay
able only on the unpaid balance.
U. d. agronOmist Richard Cole
reported that Delaware's average
soybean production is about "a
bushels per acre. He said farmers
could increase this to 80 bushels
by planting recommended varieties
such as Bethel, Hill and Hood, and
by practicing weed control and i'm
proved soil fertility.
AgrOnOmist William Mitchell an
nOunced that seminar on quality
sOybean production will be held at
the Capital Grange Hall in Dover,
November 21 as part of the u. d.
Annual Crops Short Course.

Shropshire cites three reasons
for the program: brucellOsis costs
the swine industry about 10 mil
lion dollars a year, it presents a
threat of .crOss-infectiOn to cattle,
and probably most m pOr a n t,
swine brucellosis is serious
threat to human health.
In the past, Shropshire explains,
most cases of human brucellOsis,
or "undulant fever, were contract
ed from cattle infected with the
bovine form of brucellosis. Now,
the main source of human infec-
tion is diseased hogs. Last year,

A soybean marketing specials
from the Midwest predicts brigh
future for soybean production OF
the Delmarva peninsula-if grow
ers can improve the quality OF theil
product and provide more on-farn
storage.
DR.. T. A. Hieronymus OF the U.
University OF Illinois told an audi.
ence OF 125 sOybean growers and
professors, grain dealers and feeG
manufacturers at the University Of
Delaware agricultural substatiOn
in Georgetown on Thursday, Octo-
Der rs, that Atlantic Coast soy
beans generally are discounted be-
cause, they contain more weed
seeds and other foreign matter
have less uniform color and show
more hull damage than sOybeans
produced in the Midwest.
He said area farmers also lose
money by selling their beans at
harvest rather than storing them.
Historically, he said, SOybeans
have increased in price in the
months following harvest n
farmers who store beans for sale
later, often realize IL to Is cents
more per bushel.
Hieronymus, who is regarded by
many agricultural economists as
the country's leading authority on
soybean marketing, addressed a
special seminar sponsored by the
University OF Delaware to explore
ways to improve sOybean income
on the Peninsula Earlier, he ac-
cOmpanied U. OF d. farm market
ing specialists on a tour of Della
ware sOybean farms, grain eleva-
tors, processing plants and feed
manufacturing companies.
Hieronymus cited two main mar
kets for Delmarva sOybeans-broil-
ers and the export trade. Soy
bean farmers in this area are ex-
tremely fortunate in having the
brOiler industry in their back
yard, he said "BrOilers require
large amounts Of high quality pro-
tein and sOybean growers in this
area should consider this their
prime target market.
Traditionally, he explained, many
local sOybeans are exported to
Europe and the. broiler industry
brings its soybean feed ingredients
into this area from other areas.
Lnrge-scale sOybeAn processing fa-
cilities recently constructed on the
Peninsula provide new market
outlet for local growers, he said,
enabling them to supply a share
of the soybeans for broiler feed
and OIL
Opportunities for larger export
sales through production of higher
quality beans also were outlined by
the economist. He said the foreign
sOybean market demands extreme
ly high quality soybeAns with a
bright yellow color, uniform size,
and free of foreign matter such as
weed seeds, stubble and cracked
hull Better weed control, used of
improved varieties, increased soil
fertility and more care in harvest
ing, are ways he listed to improve
sOybean quality.

Attack On Swine
BruceIIosis Intensified

An intensified effort to eradicate
swine brucellosis in Delaware is
underway, according to DR.. John
H. Shropshire, University of Della
ware livestock specialist This is
part of a National program being
carried out by the u of D. and the
State Board of Agriculture in CO.
operation with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Milford chronicle., 1961-11-10

65 percent of all reported cases OF
human brucellosis were thought to
be of swine origin. There years ago
this figure was only 40 percent.
This points up the progress be-
ing made in eradicating brucel-
losis In cattle, according to ShrOp-
shire, but it also indicates the need
for doing something more about
brucellOSis in swine.
The first stage of this intensified
swine brucellosis program is based
on the ''validation' of individual
swine herds as brucellosis-f e.
