Bold Government
Action Needed

Negro Americans made substantial economic
progress during the two decades following the in
auguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President
They made gains both absolutely and with relation
to the rest of the economy
These gains slowed to a stop with the in
auguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower President.
Since the early 195Os the wage gap between Negroes
and other Americans has remained constant, ac-
cording to the Bureau of the Census.
Apparently big reason for this Is that a large
proportion OF the Negro population still remains,
economically. among the poorest 20 per cent of the
population. Despite increasing opportunities, the
patterns of discrimination, the lack Of educational
opportunity closed doors to apprenticeship training
and closed doors to occupadonal advancement have
continued to keep large masses Of the Negro popula-
ton in low-pad field and harvest jobs and poorly
paid service jobs
How much the showdown Of the past decade
has been result Of President Eisenhower's lack Of
sympathy with the problem, how much to his In
difference to the problems Of automation and re-
sulting reducaton Of jobs in the areas Of lower
slcs, and how much to other forces we don't know.
In any case, the question Is academic, and the
problem Is not.
What do know is that the economic and
social problem posed by the poorest 20 per cent
of our population Negro, Latin, white and other)
Is possibly the most serious face. The kind Of
poverty they are condemned to in this age Of afflu
is ntolerabe The rapid pace at which technol-
ogy is devouring their jobs is dangerous If not
plosive The fact that the brunt Of the unemploy-
ment is being borne by young people Just starting
out in adulthood, at the height Of their physical
vigor, should give pause We should be concerned
If not for what this will do to these young people,
then for what 1t might do to
In contrast to President Eisenhower, President
Kennedy has shown considerable concern over this
whole problem. At the same time, many of US are
disturbed by signs that the administration Is follow
ing the old Hoover "trickle down" theory: prime
the pump, stimulate the economy by infusions at
the top, in the hope that some benefits will reach
the bottom. 1t Is hard to how this will work any

ing the problem of more and
more land being posted in Sus-
sex County with members of the
Commission staff, decided to
conduct a survey of landowners
west of Seaford. Club members
we're somewhat skeptical of the
Commissions success with
Kent County farmers when quite
extensive acreages we're opened
to orderly hunting following the
Commissions survey In 1861.
just as his neighbor to the
north, the Sussex County farmer
had no objection to the cour-
teous hunter. Asking before en-
tering and respecting the
safety zone about the homestead
forms the basis of the code
for those who will enjoy hunt
ing 1000 acres of private lands
opened to them for the 1862
90 hunting season In western
Sussex County.
The old adage Courtesy is
Contagious" is proven once

It's Fashionable TO be a Cour-
teous Hunter. Delaware hunt
ers will probably see fewer
mo Hunting" signs this fall
than they have for several
years. Eighteen months ago
members of the Delaware Game
and Fish Commission staff
started a pilot study of hunting
opportunities on private land In
western Kent County. Most of
the 200 farmers interviewed so
far have had good reason to
call some hunters a variety of
harsh names. The privilege of
hunting on private land was be-
ing destroyed by a few through
careles sness, vandalism and
wanton invasion of private pro-
perty. There was no reason for
a few to destroy the tradition
of public hunting on private
land. So the landowner In every
instance welcomed the Com
missions interest In his pro-
blems incurred by the ''roving
hunter".
Safety zones we're established
around farm buildings to offer
protection for both the owners
family and his livestock. On
the 10000 acres posted with
Hunting BY Permission Only"
signs amicable relations exist
between the farmer and the out
doorsman. AS a result there is
some fine hunting for the con-
siderate sportsman. Poaching
is held at a minimum with
farmers and Commission en-
forcement officers working to-
gether to investigate promptly.

approximately 3OO, ,OOO per-
sons--the majority of them re-
sidents of New Castle County,
out of Delaware's estimated
population of AIS, 900, could be
protected from nuclear radia-
tion on the basis of shelters
presently meeting minimum re-
quirements and those that could
be improved to meet minimum
Federal standards.
This estimate was made by
Lt-Col. ]. Arnold Sullivan, dir
ector of the State Department
of Civil Defense, as he annom-
ced up to -the-minute figures
on shelters designated by the
engineering firm of Koffler &
Associates, of New Castle,
which recently completed Phase
2 of the Federal Fallout Shelter
Survey.
To date, Colonel Sullivan re-
vealed, there are 700 shelters
in the State meeting minimum
Federal requirements pro-
lection factor of 100 or more.
These shelters could accom-
modate 1882 persons.
New Castle County, including
Wilmington, accounts for no.
27o shelter spaces --l0square
feet being the space allotted to
on e person in a shelter where
ventilation is adequate, or 500
square feet where it is inadeq-
uate. Thus, more than third
of the population of the County
could be accommodated.
In Kent County, so shelters
would accommodate 1912 per-
sons, or approximately only
three percent of that county's
population.
Sussex County has AZ shell
ters which would be available
for 6,744 persons, or about
10 percent of the population.
The 700 shelters located to
date in Delaware range in pro-
lection factor from 100 to over
1000 to l.. Thus, a person In a
shelter with a l00-to-l pro-
lection factor would receive
only one one-hundredth of the
amount of radiation he would
be exposed to outside the shell
ter.
In the first three categorise,
however, the protection factor
Is as follows: l--20 to 80; p

number 2l0. .794, but the office
of Civil Defense considers their
protective factor so low that
it would not be practical to i'm
prove them. In Category 2, Del
aware has shelter spaces that
could be improved TO accom-
modate ll2,976 persons, and in
Category 3 there are As, 1888
shelter spaces. Improvements
to the shelters in these TWO
categories could swell the num-
Der of persons in Delaware who
would be protected from radia-
tion in the event of a nuclear
war.
In many instances, shelter
spaces In Categories 2 and 8
failed to meet the minimum
standards because of insuffi-
cient shielding, the OCD hav-
ing determined that 100 to is
the minimum accepted protect
ion required. In other cases,
the lack of adequate ventilation
for the minimum capacity of so
persons was the factor that
placed the shelters in lower
categories.
Federal appropriations for
improving the shelter facilities
are not available at present.
However, individuals and COM
panies are encouraged to make
the necessary improvements to
bring theshelters up to minimum
standards, thus providing shell
ter accommodations for in.
creased numbers.

Farmers and all commission

Few Health
Hints For
Fall Tourists

Many Americans today are
planning their annual vacation
trip in the fall rather than the
summer. Many families withno
small children In school prefer
to wait until the heavy tourist
season is past to take that long
awaited trip abroad.
There are a few health hints
If you are planning a trip a.
broad this fall or winter thar
may help avoid health troubles
while away.
If you wear glasses, take a
long your lens prescription, so
that a broken lens can be re-
placed.
If you have diabetes, check
with your doctor to make GER
tain of source of supply of
insulin abroad. Also wear a
tag or carry a pocket card in
dicating that you are diabetic.
In most large European
cities, tap water is perfectly
safe for drinking. This is not
the case in many areas of the
world, however, and it will
be wise to make certain the
water supply is pure. If In
doubt, order bottle water.
Ice in soft drinks and high
balls is no safer than the water
from which it Is made. If you'-
re not certain, drink your high
ball continental fashion with
out ice.
Canned or evaporated milk is
safer than fresh milk In most
parts of the world. And be eau
tious about eating raw fruits
and vegetables.
Check with your travel agent
or air or ship ticket office re-
garding vaccination require
ments of the countries you plan
to visit. Don't forget that the
United States requires a recent
smallpox vaccination certifi-
cate for re ENTRY.
