RICHMOND. April 4 (APl
Federal Judge Oren r. Lewis
today extended an Injunction
barring Prince Edward County
from using public funds for
private education so long as
| public schools are closed.
Judge Lewis said the injunc-
ton is effective until further

a timetable for filing Of mo-
tions and said he would hear

cation of children in private
schools so long as public schools
remain shut.
Tax Credits Barred
Judge Lewis also ruled out
county tax credits for contri-
buttons to a white segregated
school so long as public schools
are not operating.
| White children in the rural
SouthSide Virginia county have
been attending private segre-
gated schools, which were
financed largely by the tuition
grants until Judge Lewis rul-
ing. Negro children, m the

Drink and Speed
Cause Of 81 Of
65 State Deaths

Drinking and speeding were
factors in "a of the 65 deaths
which occurred last year on
Delaware streets and highways.
That is the conclusion reach
ed by the staff of the Delaware
Safety Council after analyzing
reports of the fatal accidents
of the year 1861.
Frequently there is more than
one contributing cause to a far
al accident, said ]. James Ash
ton, manager of the Council.
The combination of drinking and
speeding was detected among
the causes of IL accidents.
Drinking was the primary cause
of four fatalities, while drink
ing and failing to stop for a
stop sign was the main cause
of two others.
Speed was found to be the
primary cause of IL accidents
in which drinking was not a
contributing cause. Speed COM
bined with improper passing

Police Chiefs
Attend Class on
Crank BOmbers'

! Officials of the Delaware State
Police and police chiefs of vari-

methods of foiling "crank"
bombers, during an all-day train
ing program of the Intelligence
and Explosive Ordinance Recon-
naissance Division, State De-
partment of Civil Defense. The
sessions were held at the Army
Reserve Center, Dover.

who is stationed at the Valley

The trainees also heard a lee
ture on nuclear radiation and
its characteristics and effects on
man, given by DR.. William H.
Lockwood, of the DUPONT Com
pany, who is chief of the leo
RID for the State Department
of Civil Defense.
Lieutenant McGlaun describ-
ed involved types of homemade
bombs, including those trigger
ed by electric current, clocks
or watches, ordinary contact
and an ingenious device set off
by beans swelling in a saucer
of water.
The Army's bomb expert also
displayed and explained samples
of many types of explosives and
their damage effects.
Other lectures presented by
Lieutenant McGlaun were on
such subjects as; "Nuclear
Weapons Fire." 'Nuclear Acct
dents and Accident Procedures"
and Discussion of Action IN

In the lecture on "Nuclear
Weapons Fire." the tralnees

Grass plants need nitrogen,
PHOSPHORUS and potash for
good growth, Professor Phillips
points out, and he recommends
a complete fertilizer containing
all three elements. Phosphorus
and potash are both slowly
available. For best results,
choose a fertilizer with most of
the nitrogen in the slowly avail
able form. He recommends a
fertilizer with rs percent of the
nitrogen from ureaform. The
only fertilizer generally avail
able containing this amount of
ureaform is a 1855.
Apply 30 to 40 pounds of fer
tilizer per thousand square feet
of lawn in March or early April,
before growth starts. Apply
with a spreader to get uniform
coverage. 1t is best to apply
fertilizer when the grass is dry
to avoid burning" tender
grow. But, if the grass is damp
when you apply the fertilizer,
water the lawn thoroughly to
wash the fertilizer from the
grass leaves.
By following a regular lawn
feeding program, you can elm
mate or reduce disease and
weed problems.
