County Health Officer Will
liam ]. Peoples announced the
grant, from the National Insti-

pand a pilot program of out

begun in 1856 here.
Under the existing pro.
gram, Peoples explained, the
cOunty's public health nurses

on local patients released
from state mental hospitals.
The new project, which gets
under way September l with a
first-year grant of S137, 800, will
go into the effects of these calls
and other services on recovery
rates and re-admissions. 1t will
also try to determine whether
or not community based pre-
admission and after-care serv-
ices are practicable in care of
the mentally i'll.
The comprehensive mental
health out-patient program to
be launched under the grant
will include pre-admission coun.
selling, day care, adult psychi-
atric services and a mental
health information center.
Full-scale out-patient services
are expected to get under way

Spring as headquarters for the
project.
Once the project is rolling,
patients who formerly would
have gone directly into mental
hospitals will be submitted to
examinations by psychiatrists

kniggl,thood Is Still In Flower
tR

NEW YORK tR - Once upon q time, when knighthood was still in flower -- namely Thursday - there was q young knight by the name Of Edward Hess.
 Now this Hess was goodly fel- low ef some 2l summers who hail. ed from land called the Bronx. He rode, Knight Errant, into the neighboring province of Manhat- tan on q white charger called Nancy. with lance in hand and wearing q red tunic with falcon crest, knights helmet and coat of mail.
 He was, however, only knight for day or so. and he rode around the city of New York advertising for Brooklyn's St. George Hotel and the dragon - get it?
 Hess was riding on First Ave. between filth and 45th Sts., near the United Nations Building, when a likely adversary appeared in the 1oilll u lNCW I OI h ldAlOdD.
 For the benefit of the unititiated, a New York taxicab is a sort of moderately dragon that moves at high speed, stops with great squealing, eats money and has a call that goes: Honk, honk. This particular taxicab, driven by Philip Viceconti, pulled up be- hind Hess and his trusty mount and went "honk, honk.'
 Neigh, neigh his trusty Nancy, Whirled about. And, before Hess could go may, nay his trusty lance had pierced the taxicab's armor - right in the grill
 Odd bodkins,' said Vieeeonti, or words to the effect.
 "Egad,' said Hess, twas but an error, milord."

Report

Anyone. who thinks the younger
generation is not creative h o u / d
watch a teenager build a sandwich.
There are more than 200 varieties
OF sausages and cold cuts says the
American Meat Institute, and the
teens seem to have a working
knowledge of them all. This ability,
II you turn ii loose, can help pre-
pare many an interesting meal.
Here's a for instance; between
two slices of bread and interlaced
with a surprising array of condi-
ments a teen tower may contain
bologna, salami, minced ham, pep
peroni, pickle loaf, jellied corned
beef, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles,
many varieties OF cheese and what
ever may be left over from yester-
days roast.
Members of the soda set h a e
found sandwiches eaten hot or cold
an ideal means of providing pro-
tein, vitiamins, and minerals in a
form they like. Although Mons
may vince at the unconventional
combinations, she may be surpriS-
ed at how good they are. With care
they are not expensive either and
there is almost no waste W h h
helps keep within the budget.

Fourth In The Clover

1t may surprise Lot of Al
members and leaders to learn that
the All Club clover emblem hasn't
always had four HIS on it, Accord
ing to James Baker, state All club
agent, a three leaf clover oVerlaid
with three HIS used to be the Off

In early 1900, this emblem was
placed on pins and awarded &c
prize winning corn club members
These clubs were the forerunners
of our present All clubs, Baker
says. The original HIS stood o r
head, heart, and hands.
Then in 1911 at meeting of club
leaders in Washington, ID. c., o. b.
Marion, a pioneer of boys and girls
club work, recommended a fourth

ATTENTION, LIMA
BEAN GROWERS

Lima bean growers should be
prepared to protect their crop from
anthroenose and insects during the
bloom period, according to E d
Ralph, Associate County Agent.
Manzate and DDT or SEWN should
be used to give protection n d
control of these plant pests.
Research conducted by Univer-
sity of Delaware specialists h S
shown that the most critical time
to spray is during early bloom.
However, one or two sprays follow
ing at z to 10 day intervals are
also beneficial
Robert Stevens, University of
Delaware Extension Horticulturist
reminds lima bean growers that it
was shown last year that anthrae-
nose is almost impossible to con-
troll during rainy periods if it has
already become established in a
field
Therefore, preventive spray
program before anthroenose is pre-
sent is the best solution to m a
bean disease control We are hop
ing that all growers will spray
this year in order to prevent the
severe losses due to anthroenose
that occurred last year, Ralph said.
Lima bean growers are also urg-
ed TO sidedress with extra nitrogen
at the early bid stage if they have
high seeding rates (5 plants O.
more per foot of row.
