DEPENDENCE ON
FOREIGN SHIPS SUICIDAL

The American flag flying over ships on
the high seas is not only matter of COM
mercial convenience and an object of ma
tional pride, but as current events compel
lingly illustrate, it can quickly become
matter of national survival.
Just 80 miles south of Florida lies Com
munist dominated Cuba, a growing menace
to the Western world. It's development has
dealt blow to this country's international
prestige and its continued military buildup
is threat to the security of the United
States.
Our national interest is plain. The U. S.
has cut its trade with Cuba from 4.3 million
tons in 1859 to $4,000 tons, mostly medi-
cineS, in 1861.
By contrast ships of six u. S. allies
Britain, Canada, Greece, Italy, Norway and
West. Germany have been carrying roughly
half of the cargoes going into Cuba from
communist countries. These ships ave
earned much needed revenues for h r
countries, amounting to the equivalent o
some hundred million dollars or more a
year, carrying everything to prop up t h e
Cuban regime including several million tons
of food, machinery and raw materials:
everything but military supplies.
The London Times recently summed the
matter up in this way" !. Since the British
Government recognizes the Cuban regime
and Britain is not at war with Cuba, it is
perfectly legitimate for British ships to
carry Russian oil into Cuba and Cuban
sugar out 4. Unlike the United States,
Britain and other NATO countries can
heavily on shipping for their livelihood The
Communist countries are big buyers of ship
ping space, and it is in the interest of the
maritime countries that this situation
should continue :. :"
This is a stern reminder that when we
need them most we cannot rely on foreign
shipping lines and foreign ship yards. Wig
orous governmental action to maintain
top flight American flag merchant marine
and encourage American shippers to use u.
S. ships whenever possible is vitality needed.
If we quibble over the comparatively small
government aid necessary to enable our
ships to compete with low operating cost
foreign ships we may one day choke on the
severed ends of our own overseas life lines

Keep Safety
Shields In Place

In this busy fall season, it's
smart to play it safe by putting
safety shields in place. All power
tlake-offs and other moving parts
of farm machinery should be
shielded.
The stakes are too high for you
to gamble on machinery without
guards, says Ed Ralph, Sussex
Associate County Agent. If you
lose, it's too late to be sorry.
Get standard power take-off hit
ches and shields from your farm
equipment dealer. But even h e
best shield will not protect you if
you don't put it on.
Some manufacturers are putting
on nonmovable power take-o f
shields to help protect operators
against negligence. You can open
these shields for servicing or n
spection.
Remember, it's hard to farm
with just one hand.

overtime wages to supplement reg
ular salaries and other income for
many families.
A bright spot, too. is personal
income. now topping year ago by
somewhat more than $50. Between
now and years end l look o r
continued increases in personal in
come, probably widening the fav-
orable margin over year-earller
figures In spite of a heavy tax
burden and other large fixed pay
ments, disposable income will also
keep on rising at least through the
rest of this year.
Your Buying Starts. It's Own Cycle
There is a lot more to Christmas
Holiday buying than is immediat-
ely evident. When you make pur-
chase, for example, you start a
business cycle in miniature. Y o u
not only give pleasure to the one
receiving the gift, but you also
help the retailer, providing h m
with the money to conduct h S
important distribution operations.
Keep in mind that you not only
give the retailer his percentage of
profit, but you also help to send
along their small cuts to m a n y
other worthy people. These include
the retail clerks, the landlord, ad-
vertisers, and others either direct
ly or indirectly involved. t h | s
means more people employed all
along the line, and hence more
wage earners to keep the cycle in
healthy motion.
1t is my feeling that spending
psychology will remain good at
least until early 1863 AT the end
of December you will see my de-
tailed Forecast for 1863" in these

CHEMICAL AGRICULTURE

short time ago ground was broken for
a new Department of Agriculture research
laboratory at Fargo, North Dakota. Vice
President Aled P. Davies of the American
Meat Institute spoke at the ceremonies.
He dealt at some length with a subject
which has caused flood of controversy in
late years-the use of many chemicals in
agricultural production.
These chemicals are essential in provid-
ing us with an abundance of food. Mr. Da-
vies points to a little-known fact-the ma
tion's acreage of developed cropland has
hardly changed since 1920. But in the in
tervening years our national population has
increased by over 70 per cent, or 80 million
people, So, in his words, :" the major
factor in our ability to feed this sharply
increased population and to upgrade the
diets of all of us has been increased food
yield per acre of land and per head of live
stock" And in the years to come we will
have to feed far greater population still
from an acreage which may be smaller than
that of today. !.
The Importance of chemicals can be
Judged by the money farmers spend to buy
and apply them. 1t runs to at least 81 bill
lion year. excluding fertilizers. And their
use has helped to hold down food prices, to
the benefit of all consumers.
The big question, of course is how safe
are these insecticides, herbicides, fungi
cides, and all the rest? There are answers.
Government agencies screen at least 5000
new compounds per year in preliminary
evaluation as to effectiveness and safety to
man, crops and livestock. And industry
spends close to $50 million a year in the
research and development of new safer and
more effective farm chemicals.
To quote Mr., Davis once more, 6. w0
have no choice, at present or in the future,
but to depend upon a. greater use of chemi-
Gals in our agriculture" And elaborate and
expanding work is being quietly done to as
sure their safety.

I'm THE AIR FORCE"
BY eioine townsend Dickerson

for Sneaking glances at the famous
females on my right. 1t was rather
sickening to watch Mrs. G.. busily
checking off her choice of tn
famous creations. She was a little
more austere than I had imagined.
She was impeccably dressed in
grey tweed dress with matching
jacket with fur on the collar.
A pretty circular diamond pin on
the lneckline of her dress caught
my eye, as did her gold charm
bracelet, which I'm sure has an in
teresting history
Mrs. Lemay was nattily attired
in navy dress, several strands of
pearls and a red flowered hat. She
seemed to thoroughly enjoy h e
guests and the afternoon of elegant
fashions.
Anyone of the fashions / would
have taken home. They had simple
lines, but something special about
each creation that made them that
Cassini original. Naturally we pric-
ed each and every outfit after the
show and they ranged from $50 for
handsome daytime knit dress to
$500 for a regal evening formal.

Cover Crops Make
Money

1t will pay to seed cover crops
after harvest this fall, according
to Ed Ralph, associate county ag-
ricultureal agent. This is true for
both commercial growers a n
home gardeners in Sussex County.
Cover crops keep soil in good
condition by supplying organic
matter that makes soil granular
and easy to work. Cover crops
fertilize the soil, too. It's Ii k e
money in the bank, Ralph said.
A legume cover crop to 10 in
ches high in the spring, will add
about so pounds of nitrogen per
will mean a fertilizer saving o f
about $12 an acre, two or three
times the usual cost of cover crop
seed.
Cover crops also take up left
over fertilizer that would be wash
ed away by rain. When plowed
down in the Spring the plant food
will be available for the new crop.
Anything that will grow n d
make a green cover on the soil
over winter is good cover crop,
Ralph says, even weeds if h e Y
are not allowed to seed themselves.
Wheat, Barley, and winter Oats
are good cover crops and are often
used when the farmer has his own
seed, Ralph says.
Seeding should be 11s to times
that generally used for gain seed
ings. One advantage of grains as
cover crops is that they may also
be used for late fall and early
Spring pasture.

Guiding whatever changes of at
mosphere may show up between
now and then 1t is particularly i'm
portant to note that the stock mar
ket declines of 1862 have actually
had no serious affect of retail
sales, even though the business
community generally has perhaps
become hesitant and cautious since
the Cuban upset.
Another Banner Christmas For
Retail Trade
| am expecting Christmas buy
ing to top last years record by
perhaps 2%o : 80; that m II S
another historic high for the holi-.
day season. | should emphasize
that this does not represent any
thing like a boom, but only an
upward nudging on the already
elevated plateau. Get ready for an
extraordinarily lively demand in
such lines as toys, clothes, greet
ing cards, and contrary to the
forecasts of some observers even
home furnishings. | advise heavy
holiday promotions aimed at { h
enormous upper teen age group.
I would be somewhat more en-
couraged about the approaching
holiday buying if, it were not for
the previously mentioned caution
on the part of the general business
community, the still sagging stock
market, and sharpening interna-
tional hostilities. Competition will
be keener than ever, of course, so
that many price upshadings will
have to be absorbed by retailers
This will require more advertising,
in local newspapers.

New Mechanism
Confirmed In Stroke
Like Conditions

An abnormality recently found
to be involved in strokes and simi-
lar conditions has been reported in
three more patients.
The three cases were described
. by Drs. John A. Mannick, Cary
G. Suter and David M. Hume, Rich
mond, Va, who predicted that the
syndrome, first described in 1861,
will be diagnosed more and more
frequently now that is has been
defined.
The abnormaility, termed t h e
''Subclavian Steal" syndrome e.
suits from a chain of events be-
ginning with a blockage in tn e
right or left subclavian artery To-
Gated in the upper chest, the ply
sicians wrote in the current Jour-
nat of the American Medical AS
sociation.
The lockage lowers blood pres

causes blood that normally flows

drain away from the brain back
into the subclavian artery, it was
explained.
This produces a deficiency n
cerebral blood circulation, the au-
thors said, but it is not known
whether this abnormality C a n
cause stroke-like symptoms in the
absence of other diseases of the
brains blood vessels.
A stroke occurs when the blood
supply to a portion of the brain
is cut off.
In one of the three cases report
ed by DR.. Mannick and his asso-
ciates, the condition was associat-
ed with a nearly complete stroke.
In the other two, symptoms includ-
ed dizziness, vertigo and weakn ess
in the arm normally supplied with
blood by the blocked subclavian
artery it was reported.
In all three patients, two men
aged Al and 40 and "A year old
woman, the subciavian artery had
been blocked by a fatty plaque as
| result of hardening and thicken-
| ing of the artery wall (athero-
sclerosis), the authors said. Treat
| ment consisted of removing h {
plaque by surgery.
In the stroke patient, m {
symptoms recurred following h c
operation, the physicians said, but
the operation should improve the
patients chances of avoiding q
second major stroke. The OF h !
two patients have remained wei
since surgery, they said.
