country?
What about the cost of trips
to town-how often are you
going to drive into town for
meetings, school activities,
movies and shopping trips?
What do you know about
farming? Do you understand
that in addition to liking
good fresh eggs and veget-
ables it takes a lot of hard
work to produce them? Also,
the difference between the
cost of growing hog and
the price of pork at the store
is not as great as you may
think.
Usually, it is true that you
will have smaller taxes, lower
rent, and a smaller cost for util-
tiles. Also, it is possible to pro-
duce a lot of produce for home
use and for sale. What you
grow can be much better, tas-
tier, and fresher than what you
buy.
Location and size of part
time farm are very important.
Select your location carefully
considering such things as good
soil, drainage, schools, and the
general appearance of farms
around the community. If they
look prosperous it is a good
farming area-if they are being
abandoned, be careful.
Size depends on the amount
of time you and your family
have to spend with farm work,
and the amount of capital you
can invest. If you don't have
much time to devote to farm
ing, it is best to settle for a
small place of not more than
five acres.
One final tip, be careful in
buying machinery-in most cas-
es it is cheaper for part-time
farmers to hire the use of trac-
tors, combines, and other large
items than to own them.

Farming" is available free from

Hall, University of Delaware

All Delaware associations that
have events of general public
interest scheduled for the per-
iod January |, 1862, through
June 80, 1862, are being urged
by David S. Hugg, state infor-
nation officer, to make infor-
nation concerning such events
available to him at the Della

partment, As The Green, Dover,
at the earliest possible date.
This information, according
to Mr.. Hugg, will be used in
the Delaware Calendar of Events
which is published and distrib-

on actual tests and experience,
should become common know
ledge to every driver, he said:
l. Snow tires can be of some
help, providing up to 81 per
cent better traction than reg
ular tires on loosely packed
snow, and up to % per cent
improvement on ice.
2. Reinforced tire chains were
found to provide 3l3 per cent
better traction than regular
tires on snow, and 400 per
cent more traction on ice.
3. On dry pavement, a car
equipped with regular tires
and travelling at 20 miles an
hour, can be stopped in 81
feet. On loosely packed snow
it takes so feet. On glare ice
200 feet.
These facts, proved by scien-
tific tests, give a driver reliable
information on equipping and
handling his car during various
winter conditions.
According to Mr.. Ashton,
they also illustrate that re-
duced speed and extra caution
are still required on snow and
ice

Closes Season
With l6-6 Win

The Delaware State Hornets
closed their grid season with
a 1876 win over st. Augustine's
Falcons on a clear cold Satur-
day afternoon.
st. Augustine's who is always
troublesome for Delaware State
scored first in the opening quar-
ter. Following an exchange of
punts, St. Augustine's took over
on the AZ yard line of Delaware
State. After gaining a few yards
end Robert Fielder faxed a punt
on fourth down and ran to
DISCS 20. An added penalty on
the play against DISC gave them
a first and goal to go. On a
third down play quarterback
Leon Williams ran the remain
ing five yards for a I'd. The
pass for the conversion was in
complete, and st. Augustine's
led go at the end of the quar-
ter.
The second quarter was score
less. Delaware State opened up
in the third quarter when GEN.
ter Steve Peyton recovered a
tumble by St. Augustine's Rey-
mond Martin following Martins
interception of a DISC pass on
st. Augustine's 80. Four run
ming plays gave DISC a first
down on St. Augustine's 20.
From that point quarterback
Irwin Heath passed to end
George Bratcher who took the
ball and ran the few remaining
yards for a I'd, Heath also
passed to halfback William God
frey for the conversion to put
DISC out front 8-6.
st. Augustine's returned the
following kick off to their own
IL yard line. With a fourth
down situation end Charles
Fleming went back to punt, butt
he never got chance to punt
as tackle Robert Nixon crashed
in on him and downed him on
his own | yard line. DISC took
over on downs. Fullback Cliff
ford Kennedy ran over for the
I'd, and Heath ran the conver-
sion to make the score l6-6,
DISC. The game ended without
further scoring.
Delaware State thus closes
the season with an overall rec
ord of 6 wins and 3 defeats.
Their CIAA record is 5 wins
and 2 defeats. St. Augustine's
overall record is now 3 wins
and 5 defeats. Their CIAA rec
ord is 2 wins and 5 defeats.

In Laos Talks

"A quite unusual" number Of
consultations with the Joint
Chiefs of Staff have taken place
during the administrations re-
cent discussions Of possible mil
itary action in Laos, according
to assistant Secretary Of De-
fense Sylvester.
Since April %, Mr.. Sylvester
told reporters, the National Sc

times with either Joint Chiefs
Chairman Lemnitzer or acting
Chief Burke present.
During the past week, Mr.
Sylvester said. the chiefs also
have met seven times with De-
tense Secretary Mcnamara OF
Deputy Secretary Gilpatric.
The subject. according to Mr.
Sylvester, has been Southeast
Asia. It is known that President
Kennedy is trying to decide
whether to put American troops
into Laos.
After the Cuban fiasco, some
Government spokeSmen said
the service chiefs had approved
the refugee landing. But the
chiefs have let 1t be known that
they did not approve the opera
ton as it was carried out. In
fact, some of the chiefs warned
that a landing at the point
where 1t occurred, without
American military backup and
air cover, would certainly fail

Due, Chamber Is Told

The administration is seri-
ously considering proposals for
Congress aimed at a major
overhaul Of the Nations trans
portation system, a Commerce
Department official said today.
Clarence D. Martin, jr., Un-
dersecretary Of Commerce for
Transportation, told the United
States Chamber of Commerce
Convention the proposals for
congressional action now be-
ing studied touch on railroad
taxes, rates, carriers escaping
Federal regulation, and use of
Federal facilities by private
transport companies.
Mr.. Martin said it is no Sc
cret the 500 billion-a-year
transportation industry "is in
trouble-real trouble" While
commuter traffic chokes city
streets, mass transit systems
"are dying from the seemingly
endless cycle of higher fares,
reduced patronage, reduced
service" he declared.
"GhOst Town" Threat Seen
Rail passenger services being
lost to smaller cities are
threatening to make ghost
towns" he added.
Trunk airlines now operate
on razor-thin profit margins
too small to attract capital
adequate for future re-equip-
ment," Mr.. Martin said.
A program for relief is the
Governments responsibility, he
said and spelled out these pro-
posals being considered:
