1859. Her turn at the controls
came some time in 1858, she
said, on Flight 5lS from At

She took over, she said, as
the result of a friendly argu-

the co-pilot and a joking re-

older jars, cans or packages and
replace them with food canned or
bought this season. Put the older
ones in front so you will use them
first.
Rotating frozen foods is very
important. Frozen poultry should
be used in six to nine months,
and baked goods should be kept
no longer than two months. Most
fruits and vegetables maintain
high quality for 8 to IL months,
citrus fruits and juice for 4 to 6
months. UnSweetened fruits will
lose their quality faster than those
packed in sugar or syrup. Longer
storage will not make the food
unfit for use, but may impair the
quality.
Drying of Linens
There are still many home
makers who believe there's moth
ing like sunshine for drying white
linens. They continue to hang
their linens on the line even
though they may have a dryer
sitting idle indoors.
It's true that automatic dryers
tend to yellow white muslin-but
so does too much sunshine.
Tests made by textile special
lists at the Oklahoma Agricultural
Experiment Station in Saltwater
show that sheets hung in the
bright sunshine for an hour and
a half showed little yellowing.
But, six hours in the sun pro-
duced nearly as much yellowing
as a run in the automatic dryer.
Six hours in the sun will also
weaken the fabric in a sheet.
Even unbleached muslin suffers
when left in the sun that long.
If you prefer to hang your
sheets outdoors so they get that
freSh-air smell, do it wisely. Hang
them in the shade or in a limited
amount of sunshine only long
enough to get them dry.
If the choice is between sun
shine and the dryer-choose the
dryer. It's quicker and easier
and often more convenient for the
busy homemaker. The difference
IN yellowing is negligible.

Feeding Trials of Spell

In a 112-day feeding trial at the
Huntley Branch Station to evalu-
ate spelt as a grain for fattening
steers, preliminary results report
ed September "a at the Cattle
Feeders Day at Montana State
College showed spelt was not
quite equal to either barley or
corn.
Hereford steers on the spelt ra-
ton made a daily gain of 2.22
pounds compared to 2.29 for bar
ley and 2.48 for corn.
however, when spelt was used
as a grain supplement in the ra-
tons for wintering calves its per-
Torrance was better. Calves fed
spelt made a daily gain of two
pounds as compared to 1.87
pounds for barley.

ages, today's women weight six
to eight pounds less for their
height than their grandmothers
did.
These physical changes are pri-
marily the result Of better diets.
American farmers are producing
some of the best food in the world
today. They are breeding more
nutrition into their livestock and
putting more food value into their
fruits and vegetables.
Agricultural scientists find that
SIMILAR foods do not always pro-

potatoes have more natural vita

From these ''higher class crops
of plants and livestock, Ameri-
cans are getting big dividends
from the food they eat. They not
only are healthier than in past
generations, but they live longer.

Preserved Food Storage

When you have finished freez-
ing, canning and picking foods
for the season, arrange them in
storage so that you will use the
older foods first. Do the same with
commercially canned and packag-
ed foods which you may have on
hand.
Jars and packages pushed into
the back corner may have been
forgotten about. Since all food
deteriorates somewhat during stor-
age you should e that there is
a complete turnover in these items
during the year.
For the lowest freezer storage
cost per item or per pound, the
food in storage should be con-
stantly rotated. Remove all the

Fall Spraying of
Perennial Weeds

Hard-to-kill perennial weeds
can be killed with fall chemical
treatments. Leafy spurge and
Russian knapweed can be killed
with high rates of 2,4-D applied
in the late fall. Fifty pounds of
2,4-D acid per acre applied just
before the soil freezes is required
to kill these weeds.
Trichlorobeuzoic acid (2,3,6-
TBA) will give a higher percen-
tage of kill of these weeds than
2,4-D. However, it is more expen-
sive and should De used only for
spot treatments. 1t will require
20 pounds per acre of TBA to
control leafy spurge and Russian
knapweed. Field bindweed can
be controlled with 10 pounds of
TBA per acre. When applying
the chemical, the area should be
free of trash and the chemical
applied directly to the soil. Also
remember that high rates of 2,4-D
and TBA will give temporary soil
sterility.
Where trash is a problem or
areas are inaccessible with spray
equipment, granular Foundations
of TBA may be used. Beuzabor

applied at one and one-hal1
pounds per square rod.

has more protein and fiber and
less energy than barley. In any
event, they reported, the results
were inconclusive and further
testing is needed.
Storage of Farm Chemicals
Farm storage of agricultural
chemicals, whether they are left
owe from the past season or
kept for future use, presents a
problem that demands the care
full attention of farm operators.
Safe storage involves two very
important principles.
Number one is to, store all
chemicals out of the reach of
children, pets and livestock The
best way is to keep chemicals
under lock and key, either in a
cabinet, a room or a separate
building.
Secondly. always store chemi-

tanners since chemical liquids,
granules or dusts may look like
other compounds. An unlabeled
chemical can be mistaken for an
other or may resemble edible
compounds such as sugar, syrup.
flour and soft drinks.
Without original labels, it is i'm
possible to safely distinguish be-
tween a dangerous and harmless
material.
Another advantage of storing {
chemical in its original c~ontainel
is that the label not only identi-
flies the chemical but also des'
cribes how to use it and safety
precautions that need to be OBJ
served.
If in doubt about the identity o.
a chemical, dispose of it in /;
safe manner. Containers which
may have contained harmful o.
poisonous substances should b'
thoroughly cleaned or more pre-
ferably disposed of in a saf'
manner

SoIutory Settlement

There is a certain irony in the fact
that the settlement of the lengthy dis
pute between the United SteelworkerS
of America and the Nations five major
aluminium producers was accompanied
by boasts that the agreement was
reached without Government interven-
ton or pressure from any outside
source" Yet Federal intervention in
labor disputes, ranging from the Metro
politan Opera to the railroad industry,
has become so common an occurrence
that there is ample justification for the
satisfaction expressed in this instance by
David ]. Mcdonald, the union president
The n-inf1ationary character of
the new aluminium contracts is equally
gratifying. Along the lines of its earlier
agreements with the steel industry, the
union won job-security and fringe
benefit advances without insisting on
wage increases. For its part, the man
agement of the largest of the aluminium
producers announced that no price in
creaSeS are contemplated in Difference
to present world conditions" These de-
velopmentS, beSpeaking responsible
and salutary approach by both sides,
are in the best interests of the country.
It only can be hoped that they will be-
come the pattern, rather than the ex-
ception, in the conduct of labor disputes
in the future.

To Remove q Stiqmo

Retired Navy Captain Joseph K
Taussig, jr., because Of circumstances
peculiar to his case, has won his fight
for restoration of his retirement pay,
which had been suspended by the Navy
because he is employed by firm hold
ing a defense contract. But he is not
all regular retired officers against what
he and they regard as an implication
of untrustworthinesS. The implication
arises from clause in present conflict
of-interest laws forbidding regular re-
tirees from accepting sales jobs with
defense firms, under threat Of criminal
penalties for violations. The clause does
not apply to retired reserviSts or to
civil service retireeS-a discrimination
UNDERSTANDABLE resented by career Off
GERS Of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Air Force.
Captain TauSSig, disabled and
decorated veteran of Pearl Harbor, told
the Senate judiciary Committee that
proposed legislation revising the "con-
flict" laws contains provision which
would continue the discriminatory
"affront" to military regulars" To
retain this provision, he declared, would
not only stigmatize regular retired Of
ficers but would deprive defense con-
tractors of valuable know-how and ad-
vice which only experienced military
men can give. AS the officer pointed
out in his testimony, this does not make
sense at time when there is shortage
in industry of technical brains and
administrative abilities"
Other retired officers joined Cap
tain TauSsig in his stand that regulars
should not be singled out for possible
prosecution when there are adequate
conflict-of-interest laws covering all
retired employees of the Government.
Why the discrimination?

Pucifists Naive

The antics Of the profess
sional pacifiSts, as they
march around with their
signs, is a pitiful sight to
behold. How can they be so
naive as to believe that their
publicity seeking behavior
can prevent war? Do they
suppose for one moment that
by haraSSing our already
overburdened President and
Atomic Energy Commission
they can dissuade the Chi
nese Communists or the So
VETS from starting a small,
medium or big war any time
the Communists think the
time is ripe?
Actually, millions Of Sc
rious-minded Americans are
afraid that such pacifist
tactics are encouraging the
Communists into believing
that America is a Nation
hopelessly divided against it
self and that we are a ripe
plum ready to fall into the
Communists collective lap.
For this reason, therefore,
the pacifistS are not helping
the cause of peace-on the
contrary, their behavior is
likely to invite war.

Rhodesio and the u. N.

Led by the Afro-ASian group, the
United Nations General Assembly has
made another of. those mistakes that
tend to repel and outrage people who
feel that the world organization will
kill itself unless it puts bride on the
demagoguery and immaturity of all too
many Of its members. The latest case
in point is the 73-to-1 vote, with 81
abStentionS, demanding new conStitu-
ton for Southern Rhodesia.
Sir Patrick Dean, head of the British
delegation, has made abundantly clear
why this resolution merits no thinking
persons respect. AS he has declared,
the U. MS adoption of it can be counted
upon to do more harm than good. This
is so, first Of all, because one can hardly
doubt, as Sir Patrick has said, that the
resolution flagrantly violates the U. N.
Charters provision against interference
in the internal affairs of any nation.
Beyond that, it is resolution full Of
rather shocking inaccuracies, such as
the statement calling for the release

It is for reasons of this sort that
our House of Representatives is making
haste slowly in its consideration of the

President to invest 500 million in bonds
to support the U. MS peace-keeping

cavalier Afro-Asian attitude toward
problems like Southern Rhodesia and

Good Work in Mexico

The tumultuouS welcome and warm
hospitality accorded President and Mrs.
Kennedy in Mexico City constitute a
cheering sign that their weekend visit
there has been markedly successful in
promoting further goodwill and under
standing between the United States and
the Mexican people and government.
This gain, of course, is too Intangible
to be measured, but it is nonetheless
important, especially in view of the
strenuous and ceaselesS Communist eff
forts down there to stir up mass senti-
ment against our country.
As for concrete results, the visit has
enabled Mr.. Kennedy and President
Lopez Mateos to engage in lengthy and
cordial conversations that have resulted
in meeting of minds on several issues
that bear significantly on relations be-
tween our two countries True, the
Mexican government still does not go
along with the United States and the
great majority Of the Organization of
American States in support Of measures
aimed at isolating CommuniSt-dom
mated Cuba from the rest of the hemi-
sphere. Even so, in the joint communique
on their talks, Mr.. Lopez Mateos has
agreed with Mr.. Kennedy that Castro's
tyranny in Havana is incompatible"
with democratic principles, and he has
agreed also that Red totalitarian in
tervention in the Americas must be
vigorously opposed.
Further, apart from the Communist
threat, the two Presidents have reached
agreement on ways and means Of clear
ling up certain boundary differences and
solving the difficult problem caused by
the destructive salt content in the
Colorado River waters that have been
used to irrigate Mexican farmland. In
addition, Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Lopez
Mateos have laid the groundwork for
efforts to reduce trade barriers, eStab-
fish fair and stable prices for Latin
American raw materials, and press for
ward with the Alliance for Progress as
ian enterprise vital to the social, political
and economic health of all the Americas.
Significantly enough, moreover, they
have emphasized that this program is
partnership" calling for self-help,
,and not just one-way aid from the
United States, on the part of the
countries in need of development.
All this adds up to a week end of
fruitful work. To be sure, no overnight
miracles are going to flow from it, but
there can be no doubt that Mr.. Ken
,nedy and Mr.. Lopez Mateos have sue
ceeded not only in strengthening the
ties that link our two countries, but also
lin putting fresh impetus behind meas
lures to bring about bright new inter-
American era through great co-opera-
tive undertakings like the Alliance for
Progress.

Job Discrimination and Otherwise

serving Of a job to help him

that, in retaliation, he should

It is tough to be a Negro,
or even to be a white boy, in
the District today. But I am
sure it was much tougher
when the father was a boy.
Yet the father managed
somehow to get work, and
even to elevate himself to his

ton of D. c. Public Schools.
Perhaps both father and son

fact.
