Watch Out For
Frozen Water Tanks

A puzzled farmer stood with the
veterinarian looking at S o N e
hollow-eyed feeder cattle. They've
been off feed for two days now, =
he said Il just can't understand
it."
Been off feed two days the
veterinarian thought; this cold
spell started two days ago. Maybe
it's the water supply"
A glance into the water tank
proved his point. The water was
frozen
An adequate water supply will
force feeder cattle or sheep to go
off feed, reports VIM. II. Hender-
son, County Agent.
Without water. the digestive sys-
tenn stops and the animal loses it's
appetite Weight slips way.
And" the county agent adds, 1T
takes a long time to put that
weight back on
The amount of water animals
need depends upon the weight diet,
and the weather. Cattle and sheep
consume larger amounts than 9TH
er livestock because their diet is
bulky.
A 600-pound feeder steer prob
ably drinks seven to ten gallons of
water a day. The amount may be
slightly lower on winter days.
Because cattle and sheep need SO
much water it should be available
at all times. not just twice day.
Animals will drink more when
water is always available.
In addition TO being available
constantly, water should be heated
to so degrees, Mr.. H e n d e S o n
warns. Colder water causes tenn
porary paralysis of the digestive
tract Again the animal loses it's
appetite, but for a shorter period
than the animal suffering from a
lack of water.
Heating water electrically is the
ideal y-prOvided the water
tank is insulated so that the ami
mails will not get electrical shocks.

Gardeners Hints
For February

How about some olorf u
branches of Towering shrubs to
brighten up your dining room ta-
BILE? It's easy to force Towering
trees and shrubs for indoor bloom
in February and March. Forsythia
is one of the easiest. Saucer Mag
nolia are attractive even before the
buds open. Pussy Willow, Corne-
liam Cherry, and similar shrubs
will open in ten days to three
weeks. Most shrub branches bene-
fit by soaking in lukewarm water
"a hours before arranging in a
container, according to Ed. Ralph,
Sussex Associate County Agent
Strawberries should be set out
as soon as the ground can be
worked in the spring. This usually
means in March or early April
Order now to be sure of early de-
livery. Be sure to order yiruS-free
plants for best results. Some of
the best home garden vari e e S
are: Fairfax, Pocahontas, Sure
crop, and Midway for a m d.
season crop and Robinson Sparkle
or Jerseybelle for late varieties.
Prune grapes early to avoid ex
cessive bleeding. Fruit trees like
apples, peaches, and ornamental
fruit trees may be pruned as soon
as the severe winter weather is
over.
Re-pot house plants that are pot
bound. Use good garden loan plus
plenty of humus like leaf mold or
peat moss. If your soil is heavy,
add sand or vermiculite.
Why not try some d iff e
vegetables this year, There are
many new varieties of leaf lettuce
that are delicious if planted early
in the spring. Try Ruby, an All
American Winner. Salad Bowl and
Oak Leaf are also popular leaf
lettuce varieties. Endive, New Zea-
land Spinach, and Swiss Chard are
all easily raised and are a welcome
change of green's.
For additional information IN
these subjects, call the Sussex EX-
tension Office at S56-2553, Ralph
said.

Press Club Holds Important Meet.
ing:
At the regular Friday meeting of
the Press Club February 2. the
election of a new assistant editor
and page editor took place.
Fay Murray was elected to assist
the editor by large popular vote.
Fay was editing page four of the
Clipper. Jane Shockley, soph-
more, won the election of fourth
page editor.
| Appointed to assist the circula-
tion manager is June Massey, who
will be responsible for the tipping.
Also, at this meeting, plans for
the Press Club activity were dis
cussed. The main object of this is
to raise enough money to be able
to witness the printing of a news
paper in the early spring.
1t is hoped to have a Twist"
contest, March Is, inviting the sur
rounding schools to participate.
Making these plans at an early
date, it is hoped to be the rocking
event of the year.

Here's Hoping

Apparently caught up in the spirit
OF the season, our old friend Clarence
Cannon is broadcasting the word that,
as far as he is concerned, there will be
nothing but good will between him and
our old friend, Carl Hayden, once Con-
gress opens shop again.
This would indicate that, as far as
Representative Cannon is concerned,
there will be no more fuss and feathers
and shameful loss Of time and ma
tional respect-over the question Of who
will preside over conferences between
the Senate and House Appropriations
Committees.
For nine months last session, these
old committee chairmen (their ages
totaling more than 1853 years) wrangled
over Mr.. Cannon's insistence that he
preside over half the conferences on
money matters, and Senator Haydens
rejoinder that, II he gave in TO that de-
mand, the Senate should have the right
TO initiate half the appropriations bills.
1t would have been very funny, indeed,
but for one reservation-the Congress

Peace, It's Wonderful

There's speck Of land in the middle
Of the South Atlantic where man can
call his soul his own, and live close to
his Creator. At least, this Is the feeling
of some 260 refugees who voted over
whelmingly to leave their haven in Lon
don and return TO Tristan da Cunha
Island. A little more than a year ago
Tristan was wracked by volcanic erup-
tion, forcing these strong-willed people
to accept the charity Of their home
country.
For a simple, God-fearing folk, 1t
was a narrowing experience. Learning
TO stay alive in auto traffic, to tolerate
the bright lights, TO withstand the agon-
les OF radio and TV-it really was too
much to ask. They stood 1t as long as
they could, until the volcano became
quiescent, and they could send an ex-
peditionary force to report on conditions
back home.
Now the good people Of Tristan are
heading back TO their spot Of land, 1000
miles from anywhere, TO dig out their
subsistence with the determination Of
our Pilgrim fathers. No more autos, no
more bright lights, no smog, no con-
fusing news reports about who's fighting
whom today, no alarm clocks, no alarms

Hoffo Wins Aqoin

Strictly speaking, it is not accurate
to say that James r. Hoffa has won"
his latest bout with the Department of
Justice. But the miStrial which has been
declared because the jurors announced
themselves hopeleSsly deadlocked (the
report is that they stood to for ac-
quittaD is about as close as Hoffa could
have come to a clean win without &C
tually being found not guilty.
Certainly the boss of the Transfers
is out in front in his legal jousts with
the Government. He was acquitted in
1857 of conSpiring to bribe an inveSti-
gator for Senator McClellan'S commit
tee. Next, New York Jury disagreed
when he was tried on wiretap charges.
At the second trial in that case, however,
jury found him not guilty. Now, once
again, he is the beneficiary of hung
jury-thiS time on charge of conSpir-
ing to take payoffS from employers in
violation of the Taft-Hartley Act.
Whether the Government will seek an
other trial on this accusation is uncer-
tain. The poSt-trial attitude of the pros
ecutor on this point, however, raises a
definite doubt.
There should not be any question,
however, about secondary phase Of the
Hoffa trial. This is that men identi-
fled with the TeamSterS Union tried i'm
properly to influence two members Of
the trial jury and a prospective Juror.
The two jurors were replaced before
the end of the trial, and there is nothing
to show that this y-tampering"
effort involved Mr.. Hoffa in any way,
or that it influenced the outcome of
the trial. Nevertheless, this is a most
serious business. 1t is hard to think of
anything that might more readily tend
to undermine our system of justice than
improper approacheS-or, indeed, any
external approacheS-to jurors during
the course of criminal case.
Federal Judge william E. Miller is
to be commended for ordering prompt
and thorough grand jury investigation
of this dubious business, and, If the evi-
dence warrants, we hope all of the Of
tenders will be prosecuted to the limit
Of the law.

In keeping with predictions, the
coalition government Of Laos is having
trouble with bad faith among it's con-
Stituent elements. These elements are
made up of the followers of the coun-
try'S three princeS-pro-W Western Boun
Gum, o-CommuniSt Souphanouvong
of the Red-led Pathet Lao guerrillas,
and "neutraliSt" Souvanna, whose back
ers lean to the left but are in no sense
creatures Of either Peking or Moscow.
The anxiety and tensions that afflict
Laos at the moment apparently are at
tributable directly to the forces of Pa
thet Lao. At any rate, according to Gen
eral Kong lie, these forceS-which he
and Prince Souvanna esteemed as their
closest allies not many weeks ago-are
taking orders from Hanoi, the capital Of
Communist North Wet Nam, which is
creature of international Red totalitar-
ianiSm. Indeed, in General Kong's judg-
ment, this sinister Laotian organization,
working together with small groups Of
diSsident "neutraliSts," is doing its best
to undermine the coalition regime and
drag us into the Communist camp"
But General Kong has vowed that
this effort will be resisted to the bitter
end. One can only hope so, with fingers
crossed. The agreement to "neutralize"
Laos has been dubious from the start,
and his remarks support the peSsimistic
view that the country is already con-
demned to an eventual Communist take

gentlemen plumed and preened them
selves and the taxpayers groaned.
When last heard from on the House
floor, Mr. Cannon was rather emphat-
ically insisting he would never arbitrate
the Houses contention that 1t was le-
gally entitled to initiate all appropria-
tions as we'll as revenue bills-the latter
spelled out specifically in the Constitu-
ton.
Nothing has happened since to
dispel the notion that Senator Hayden
is as firmly entrenched as ever on his
conception of equal rights. 1t would be
very nice, indeed, If the fine old gentle
men would shake hands over an egg-nog
and agree that the Nations welfare is
far more important than a petty pres
tige fight. The final word, of course,
remains with Senator Hayden. After all,

part, mere STRIPPING of 83. But we

Ideas to Ponder

The Star is to be COM
mended for its excellent COW
erage of the recent hearings
by HUAC on the activities
of Women Strike for Peace
and others working for peace.
Mary McGrory's articles
were particularly penetrating.
1t is most unfortunate that
working for peace is made to
appear "Un-American," as
Acting Chairman Doyle in
dicated when he said that he
knows of no peace-seeking
group that meets his quail
fications of patriotism.
Funk & Wagnall's diction-
ary defines a patriot as lone
who loves his country and
zealously guards its welfare;
a defender of popular liberty" !"
This would seem to mean
that those who seek to pre-
vent a nuclear war by eX-
ploring all possible avenues
are the true patriotic Amer
leans.
Compromise does not indi
cate weakness. Quite the
contrary, 1t indicates an
awareness of the realities of
the nuclear age. 1t indi-
Gates a comprehension that
a nuclear war would destroy
everything we as Americans,
cherish. 1t indicates the need
to exchange ideas to achieve
peaceful coexistence, an i'm

clerical, and supervisory per-
sonnel as well as teaching
personnel. Also, the public
should be informed as to how
many vacancies Of nom
teaching positions are in
cluded in this total.
I urge the residents Of
Montgomery County to with
hold their criticism for at
least six months in order to
give the new members of the
school board time to evaluate
the school system.
Mrs. ]. T. Nichols.
The implications Of the
overwhelming victory at the
polls Of the candidates
pledged to economy in gov
vernment in Montgomery
County seem to have been
lost on some people, judging
by their comments in recent
letters 10 The Star.
The voters have clearly
demonstrated their demands
for relief from a crushing
taxation burden which has
become almost intolerable in
Montgomery County. Justi-
fication for any other inter-
probation OF the election re-
suits escapes me entirely.
These readers seem TO have
the impression that the
quality Of education is di-
rectly proportional TO the
amount OF money spent.
This simply is not true. AS
nearly as / can determine,
the educational attainments
OF pupils In many non-tax-
supported private schools in
the county, where the per-
pupil costs are only a frac-
ton Of the tax-supported
schools. are by no means in
ferior 10 pupils in the pub
lie schools.
l am quite sure that the
voters OF Montgomery Coun-
~ will be watching with con-
siderable interest TO see TO
what degree the newly elect
ed members OF the school

prepared 10 make good on
their campaign promises.

A BOOK FOR TO-DAY
Six English Masterpieces Exhumed
By DONALD MINTZ

Birley cannot help but re-
main in his natural role, that
of the modern reader. And
Understandable as this is, it
goes against the fundamental
purpose of his book.
What am I to say in the
face of this?" he asks of a
passage in "Festus." Am I
right to feel that only by
finding it ridiculous can I
avoid being shocked?" There
are two further questions in
this vein.
Later, Mr.. Birley RECEIVERS,
and examines to some extent
the 10th century'S sentiments
rather than his own. But the
damage has been done. One
feels that as a scholar, he has
performed with diligence but
that he has never reached
the point where scholarship
becomes unconscious, and
part of his mind is that of a
reader in a past age.
The book fails to reach
what must have been its ul-
innate goal. But it remains
fascinating, full Of informa-
ton and often of insight. No
one will read "Lalla Rookh"
because of it, but that is not
the idea. The idea is to ex-
plain how it was that any
one ever read it. Though Mr..
Birley has not succeeded in
temporarily putting himself
in the proper frame of mind,
he has indicated what that
frame Of mind is.
