REFUELING AT THE AIRPORT
UNLESS A section Of concrete, known as a refueIng
apron, is completed shortly, the nonstop Pan American flights
from New York here cannot be put into effect. The Importance
of completing this concrete apron cannot be emphasized too
strongly.
WITH THIS FINE airport, and the completion of ex
tended runways accommodating full jets, it seems unfortunate
indeed that arelatively minor project should be overlooked
As compared to the rest of the airport facilities, the apron
seems minor, which it is when both cost and manpower are
considered. Yet, because of what is involved, this apron be-
come important. Without it nonstop flights cannot be sched
ued, and this place suffers.
IT MUST BE taken for granted that the failure to com
plete the concrete apron is but a matter Of oversight. Certain
ly, the planners must have known that without such an apron
the all-mportant retueing operation cannot be carried out
Governor Paiewonsky has already indicated that funds for
the apron have been approved. However, the delay seems to
be in letting Of the contract, which can be shrouded with red
tape in certain instances.
ST. HAS the airport to accommodate intercon.
tinental jets to stop here. For example, Pan American has a
flight which terminates in Trinidad. This flight would origi
nate in New York and make its first stop in st. Croix. Such
flights are made twice weekly, but because these planes have
no refuellng opportunities at the airport here, no stops can
be made.
HI GOVERNOR Paiewonsky can take a personal
hand in this matter, making direct contact with the appro-
pirate agency, and putting the weight Of his office into getting
this segment of the air port project completed with dispatch.
The Governor has clearly shown that this administration is
concerned with efficiency, and getting things done. Even the
Governors enemies admit this. If anybody can do il, the
Governor can.

Income Increases

There are two ways to increase
net income on the farm reduce
costs or increase revenue. Here are
some income increasers that will
help Delaware farmers earn more
for their time and effort.
More milk from better Hay The
combination of less rained on hay
and more early cut hay will in
crease total milk production in a
given year as much as five per-
cent. In addition, total hay yields
will increase at least six percent.
A forage cruSher as part of h e
standard haying equipment on a
25 cow dairy farm should increase
total milk production as much as
II, 900 pounds. AT $500 per hun
dred weight for milk, the added
income credited to hay condition
ing could be as much as $3.50 a
year This will more than offset
the added expense of approximate
ly $170 year to own and operate
a conditioner.
Make the Home Freezer pay =
The life expectancy of the h m e
freezer lis estimated ait IL years.
All costs of ownership except those
of packaging and freezing are the
same regardless of the amount of
food stored. Therefore, the larger
quantity of food, the lower the
freezer cost per pound. For ex-
ample, assume the use of a 1920,
II cubic foot freezer If all of the
foods stored were bought packag-
ed and frozen, cost per pound
for use of the reeezer in storing
would be 22c with no turnover and
&c per pound with $50 percent
turnover. Costs covered included
depreciation, return on investment,
repairs, and electricity. Packaging
is estimated as &c per pound.

Eorly Vaccination
Prevents Coffle BIockleg

''An. effective preventive vaccine
to blackleg in CATTLE" says Kent
county agent George Vapaa.
He recommends routine vaccina-
tfon of all calves at two months
of age. II a dairyman waits until
the disease strikes, detection
usually comes too kate for treat
ment.
The county agent reports that
the disease generally hits young
stock from six months to two
years old. 1t comes suddenly, pro-
duoing fever and causing swellings
on the thighs and shoulders, and
kills within a day or so. An in
rected animal stands away from
the others and shows lameness
when forced to move. Swelhngs
appear over the thigh, shoulders,
loin, or neck. The swellings are
spongy.
After the death, the carcass de
composes rapidly. County ent
Vapaa says that all blackleg car
casses should be burned inn
mediately or buried deeply in
quicklime. Otherwise, he notes,
birds, dogs, or a sur-face-w a
might spread the disease germs.
"Blackleg tends to persist all
most indefinitely on farm once
an infection occurs" he explains.
Stock become infected by mouth
from infected food and soil. So, a
dairyman must move quickly to
prevent the spread of this killer.
Even then. it's probably a little
late. The best way is to head it
off with vaccination at weaving
time"

U.N. Seat for Uganda

Norway for the West European
seat now held by Ireland until
the end of this year. Seeing
Norway would win, Nigeria then
sought the Middle Eastern
seat, which the United Arab
Republic will vacate,
Faces Morocco
Nigeria got the backing of
the 81 African countries of
the Monrovia group, and Eth
opia and Mauritania withdrew
their candidates.. But Nigeria
still faced competition from
Morocco, Iran and Afghanistan.
When Afghanistan withdrew,
Morocco's favorable prospects
became even better.
Elections to fill the Council
seats had been scheduled to
begin last Thursday afternoon.
Nigeria and her friends, with
the consent of other candi-
dates, got them postponed to
gain time for lobbying.
The elections now are sched-
uled for Wednesday afternoon
with Morocco given the best
chance to win. Diplomats credit
Morocco with go or more votes
already. A two-thirdS major
ity, or IA of the 109 votes in
the Assembly, is needed for
election.
Norway will be elected to
the Council to succeed Ireland
Brazil to succeed Chile and the
Philippines to succeed Romania.
The regular term is two
years, starting January /. But
the Philippines will serve only
a year because it is splitting
a term with BONANZA under a
deal that broke a deadlock in
the 1861 elections.

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Oct. Is
(AP). - Rocket-firing United
States Army helicopterS were
used for the first time as an Of
fensive weapon against Com
munist guerrillas during the
week end, an informed source
said today.
Three of the turbine-powered
HULA machines from the
United States Army company
here were seen carrying out a
blistering strike Sunday against
a Wet Cong stronghold SIS miles
northwest of Saigon.
The HULA sometimes called
the Cadillac of military hell
copters,' carries 16 powerful
rockets and several machine
gunS-more firepower than any
World War II fighter plane.
Fifteen of the new helicop-
tiers were transferred here re-
Gently from Thailand.
The role of the new craft is
primarily to escort the lightly
armed troop-carrying helicop-
tiers and to soften up detectives
with heavy firepower. Up to
now, escort missions have been
flown entirely by Wet Namese
air force fighter planes.

A high-level policy decision

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. is (AP) The United Ma
lions Security Council recon-
mended unanimously today
that Uganda, former British
territory in Africa, be admitted
to U. N. membership.
Approval by the General AS
sembly, expected also to be
unanimous, would make Ugan-
da the 10th member of the
world organization.
Today's action came as an
other African country prepared
to make a new demand for
special African representation
in the IL nation Security
Council.
In the Assembly, Nigerian
Foreign Minister Jaja Wachuku
was expected to insist that
Africa this year be given one
of the six temperament seats
on the Council, now divided
among Europe, the Middle East,
Latin America and the British
Commonwealth.
Hits Agreement
Mr.. Wachuku is an outspoken
critic of the "gentleman's
agreement" reached in London
in 1916, which gave Latin
America two seats on the Sc
curity Council and Eastern Eu-
rope, Western Europe, the Mid
die East and the British Com
monwealth one seat each.
In an Assembly discussion
last Wednesday, Mr.. Wachuku
and other Africans argued that
the gentleman's agreement
should be revised right away to
give Africa a Security Council
seat of its own.
But the groupings that bene-
fit from that agreement have
always fought that idea, and
the only sure way to provide
for an African seat would be
to enlarge the Council. That
would take a United Nations
charter amendment, and the
Russians have said they will
veto any such amendment until
Communist China is given a
United Nations seat.
