YET do a very satisfactory Job.
All you need are Is cinder
blocks 8 inches by 8 inches by
10 inches long, and a piece of

To build the pit, lay three
blocks In a row and butt two
blocks at right angles at each
end. Then place two blocks be-
tween the ends. To lap the joints
the second der of blocks is
laid with the three blocks on
the opposite side. This will

January lo, l962--Court of
Chancery dismissed the first
count, relating to rezonings up
holding the Levy Court action.
The McQuails carried their ap-
peal to the Supreme Court.
Their chief contention was that
the Levy Courts action is in
valid because it did not COM
ply with statute In that 1t failed
to establish a plan for the area
involved either before or at
the time of the rezoning ap-
plication.
The Supreme Court held that
the reclassification bore a
reasonable relation" to the
scheme of zoning adopted in
the basis Zoning Code of 1854
and in accordance with a plan.
This is so" the court held,
because the Basic zoning code
recognized that the RI class
ification for Blackbird Hundred
was not permanent.
''The fact that further re-
zoning was necessary because
the plan was incomplete as to
certain lands not rezoned sup
ports this action.
'When an R-2 classification
is adopted the ultimate zoning
of such an area was In effect
delayed. The proper authorities
have now acted and this action
must be upheld unless 1t con-
stitutes an abuse of discretion. I"
The opinion said further, SIT
is inconceivable that men could
at this stage foretell the future
use of this part of the county.
To zone lands in Blackbird
not involved in the case as
residential. as park lands, or
as industrial is not to plan the
future but to dream it without
any sound basis in fact. Good
housekeeping suggests a real
istic approach to growing area

velopment, using the present

Miss Delaware--l962, Alice
R. Watts of Lewes, Del, like
an expensive race horse, is in
training for a very famous race
with a very rich purse which
is to be held In Atlantic City,
N. ]. on Sept. 8 through the
9th. The fillies in this race
are far more groomed and ex-
pensive than any race horse
and a good bit more attractive.
The race at the Miss America
Pageant in Atlantic City for the
coveted Miss America Crown is
now world famous for its high
standards, aims and ideals, and
the beautiful, intelligent girls
1t produces. They are proving
year after year that beauty and
brains do go together. The won
derful thing about this Pageant
at all levels of this contest,
local, state, and National, is
that 1t is a far cry from the
leg shows of the past. The
famous Pageant has been up
graded year after year until
today a young ladymustpossess
much more than beauty. She
must have brains, talent and
personality. Because this young
lady is a representative of our
country and our way of life.
Today, as never before, we
have to put our best foot for
ward throughout this country
and abroad. The young lady that
is chosen to do this for us must
truly represent a charming,
talented and intelligent young
lady of our country-----Miss
America.
The Miss Delaware Manage
ment Committee, composed of
Dover and Delaware Jaycees,
are working very hard to see
that Alice Watts, our MissD Del
aware 1862, has as good a
chance as any in this race for
the Crown. There is quite a
bit of planning and expense in
volved In grooming Miss Del
aware to meet the high goals
set for her. When Alice ira
vels to Atlantic City to enter
the SIS, 100000 Scholarship Miss
America Pageant she will have
little reason to worry about the
competing talent and beauty be-
fore panel of judges, includ-
ing national educators, artists,
musicians and thousands of
spectators.
Because until she leaves, a
number of qualified specialists,
working along with the Delaware
Jaycees and the Miss Delaware
Committee, will be giving of
their experience to Miss Del
aware. Working with Alice on
her talent number will be Vic
tor Clarke of the Lycem Play
ers, o05 N. Broom St., VIII
mington, Del. Talent counts a
very big part in the Miss A
merica Pageant. Last years

Chute and Heodgote
Reduce Labor Costs

One of the most important
pieces of equipment on a beef

chute and headgate will reduce
much of the labor required to
restrain cattle for such jobs as
blood testing, tatooing, dehorn-
ing, and treating them for any
ailments, says DR.. John H.

He suggests locating the chute
at a place convenient to build

mud. If not built on level ground,
1t is better to have cattle walk
