And Realty Sales

Easter vacation in the Ba-
hamas.
The. trip with nine children
was no problem for q man
noted for his organizational
genius. Vic merely set the
time Of departure at mid
night. He knew the young
sterS would be so sleepy they
would drop off the minute
they hit their seats. At about
the time they planned to land
they would just be waking
up.
Attention to such details
has made him a success. And
where else, Vic asks, could
you pick up an estate dating
back to a l716 Crown Land
Grant that Walter Chrysler
repeatedly spent 81 million
on improvements, for some
thing under a million dol

plump, and conservatively
dressed he would be lost in
a crowd. Riding in his boxy,
black Rolls Royce he looks
like a cartoonist's dream of
Of the arch conservative.
Appearances Deeeiving
Actually he is anything
but. In the back Of his Rolls
he carries a beaten up accor-
dion. He uses it to liven up
parties when things get dull.
Though he is now ad-
mittedly "eattn' high off the
hog" Vic is not afraid to re-
call the days when times
were tough and he and his
attractive wife, Hilda, took in
boarders. He also managed
a couple of movie houses and
took a turn as an actor.
The realty investor is at his
best in a crowd. He has had
a lot of practice what with
being the father of nine chill
dren, the oldest Is years.
Despite the drive that has
led him into buying out the
Westview Country Club in
Vienna, Va, a downtown city
block, the old Portner Hotel
and the huge North Wales
estate, Vic is first and fore
most a family man.
Spacious Home Needed
He licked the large family
problem by buying a spacious
old house at Bradley boulevard
and Seven Locks road in
Montgomery County that was
once part of the Ogden
School.
Over what is now the ga
rage were two large class
rooms. He just shepherds
his flock out there and tells
them to hit their homework
books. For additional trans
sportation he has a converted
DC-3 airliner.
Whenever he wants to
take the family to some vaca-
ton spot he just piles them
in and takes off. Right now

Lawn ScaIping
Kills The Grass

If you want a healthy, good
looking lawn, you've got to give the
grass a chance to grow, points out
Kent County agent, George Vapaa.
Too many people go to the ex-
pense of applying fertilizer to their
lawns, only to chop off the grass
before it reaches proper height.
This "lawn-scalping" kills or in
jureS the grass so seriously that
dead spots or brown area develop,
which many home owners miStak-
enly assume are caused by insects
or disease. What happens is that
the leaves are cut back so short
that the plants are unable to man
ufacture food and maintain an ade-
quate root system.
The key to an attractive lawn is
proper height of moving the agent
says. AS a general rule, lawn now
ers should be set to cut no lower
than az inches and preferably al
2 inches.
Mowers should be kept sharp and
in good operating condition. d u l.
improperly adjusted equipment not
only destroys the beauty of a lawn
but also Injuries the leaves, open
ing the door for disease and in
sect troubles.
Moving is not simple opera
tion to remove excess growth, Mr.
Vapaa emphasizes. 1t is a main
tenance practice which has far
reaching effect on the appearance,
vigor and longevity of your lawn
turf.

his own schedule. And so 1t goes,
until the confused parents have
the feeling that they are at the
mercy of a tiny tyrant.
AS a general rule, an infant
whose needs are satisfied is
happy, undemanding and inde-
pendent. A baby whose needs
aren't met becomes fussy, fretful
and clinging. No child is born
spoiled, of course. Yet even the
littlest child is born with his
own temperament which reacts to
your treatment of him. AS a
parent, your job is to teach him
to trust you and to want to
please you. This process is a
gradual one - increasing as the
child natures in understanding.
Of course. parents often find
that methods that work well
with one child aren't effective at
all with a second child. Each
must be approached as a distinct
personality.
Keep in mind that the best
kind of discipline is a reasonable
indulgence of baby's needs. Since
an infant can only express his
wants with his lungs, you must
learn to interpret his cries much
as you'd learn a new language!
Is he wet? Is he frightened? Is
he hungry? Does he hurt? Each
of these problems can be dealt
with.
If he's wet, his diaper gets
changed and his skin patted
smooth with petroleum jelly. Rub
the petroleum jelly into the dia-
per area. making sure you reach

Flu Hits Hogs
In Spring Time

Flu is a common springtime ma
lady of swine, says VIM. H. Hen
derson, county agricultural agent.
Flu is a virus disease and re-
sembles the flu conditions seen in
man. Swine flu is one of several
respiratory diseases that are a
year-round problem in hog herds.
This is the time of year, Hen
derson said, when many of these
respiratory conditions become OBJ
vious in the early spring litters.
Sneezing. coughing rapid thum-
py breathing with varying degrees
of depression and loss of appetite
are the common symptoms observ-
ed.
Pigs with flu lie around and are
reluctant to move. Deaths may oc-
cur, but usually the losses are not
too great. The biggest loss is the
reduction of grain and feed effici-
ency.
AS with human flu, there is no
specific cure. Good nursing care,
draft ee, properly ventilated
housing and preventive measur-
es to avoid complications are the
major steps in control, Henderson
said.
Swine flu is often associated
with lungworm infestations. L e
virus is passed from the animal in
the lungworm eggs. The lungworm
eggs are picked up by the common
earthworm and other types o f
worms.
The hogs then eat the earth
worms and thus takes in the flu
virus, completing the cycle.
Three other respiratory diseases
are atrophic rhinitis, virus pneu-
monia and bull nose.
Rhinitis, which affects the nasal
passages, is spread from the SOW
to her pigs. 1t causes sniffling,
coughing and weight losses.
Bull nose is a condition which
may be confused with rhinitis. This
disease is usually seen under con-
ditions of poor management d
filth
Correction of management prac-
tices combined with medical and
surgical efforts are usually neces-
sary to cope with the problem.
Virus pneumonia is very wide
spread and perhaps involves close
to rs percent of all pigs. 1t is
spread from SOW to litter and while
it can cause death, the biggest
economic loss is in lowered feed
efficiency and gain.
An accurate diagnosis is of ma
jor concern in these swine diseases,
the County Agent said.
BE sure you are not dealing
with cholera or other highly fatal
conditions. Consult your veterinar-
ian for diagnosis and advice. H e
who hesitates may suffer severe
losses" Henderson said.
Prevention, wherever possible,
is much more rewarding than at
tempted, but often unsuccessful
cures"

the big gamblers. Therefore, you
can invest in these companies and
let them gamble for you! They are
now all watching for a cancer
cure. Some one of them will find
the vaccine to prevent the com
mon cold", another will discover
the bacteria which will help young
people mentally What has b e n
done for smallpox, diphtheria, and
polio, can be done for a m o S t

Just look back a few short years
and see what has already been ac-

prescriptions which you and your
neighbors take to the druggist this

biotics that were not even In
existence at the end of World
War III. But what I want to shout
about" is tomorrow. The ethical
drug industry last year spent over
$214 million for research; that was
four times larger than just ten
short years ago; and the amount
spent annually by the drug COM
panies has doubled since 1856. To-
morrow's big profit killings" lie
hidden in this mass of research!

To my knowledge there are a
dozen or more companies who are
gambling the above large sums on
research. Let me mention these:

Varying Tolerance To
Alcohol Is Explained

Two persons of the same weight
who drink the same amount of al
cohol may not appear to tolerate
it equally as well for a number of
reasons, according to an explana-
ton given in the current issue of
the journal of the American Medi-
cal Association.
"An experienced drinker has
learned how to counteract some of
the adverse effects of alcohol,
whereas a novice, faced with the
same situation, would be less
capable of compensating for h e
alcohol-imposed handicap" the A
MA Subcommittee on Alcohol said
in answer to a question submitted
to the Journal.
''Habitual drinkers absorb their
alcohol more slowly and oxidize it
more rapidly than do persons who
rarely take a drink.
also, the presence of food in the
upper gastrointestinal tract tends
to retard the rate of alcohol alb
sorption and thus ameliorates the
effect of given DOSE
However the group said, there is
little difference among individuals
in ability of brain tissue to resist
the effect of given tissue con-
centration of alcohol.
"All persons show some impair
ment in driving ability at a blood
alcohol concentration of 0.10 per
cent and in some this ability is
impaired at a level as low as 002
per cent" the group said.

corn borer damage were eStimat
European corn borer sneaked
into the country about 1917, and
first was discovered in Massachu-
setts. At present it is found in
most states east of the Rocky
Mountains, which includes the ma
tion's primary corn belt.
Injury results from tunneling
and feeding of corn borer larvae
within stalks, ears, tassels, and
practically all parts of the plant.
Once established inside plants,
borers are difficult to control.
Borers overwinter as fully
grown worms in the stalk, in
stubble or ears of corn. With
warm weather in April or May,
borers begin to pupate. They usu-
ally emerge as moths from June
to September.
Whitish female moths lay sew
eral hundred fiat eggs in masses
of 15 to 20 each, mainly beneath
corn leaves. Borers hatch in 4 to
8 days as tiny worms with black
heads and pale yellow bodies
marked by black or brown spots
in rows. They molt several times
as they grow to maturity.
Biological control with para
sites has been attempted with
varying success. Late planting
and use of borer-resistant or toll
Grant corn varieties. also help to
avoid serious damage,
This year, a new broad-range
pesticide, SEWN insecticide, can
be applied as spray or dust for
effective borer control.
An important advantage, espe-
tially to sweet corn growers, is

MILFORD CHRONICLE, DELAWARE FRIDAY 25
HISTORY CROWDS IN

History crowds in upon us, and never
more surely than on commemorative occa-
sions. Even as we honor the fallen, and
think back to the events in which they were
involved unto death, the events of our own
time cry out for attention. 1t has been truly
said that the past is prologue. 1t also is
true that we owe great debts to the past,
debts that can be paid only in the coin of
devotion and action.
By this is meant something far more than
uttering or listening to platitudes about the
ideals for which so many thousands have
sacrifived their lives. Those idyllic concepts
of a society in which there would be free
dom and human dignity and equal opportun-
ity must be more than words. To speak of
them in connection with those now at rest is
not enough; this in itself is but hollow
honor
To give the words of honored commen1-
oration substance there must be resolve to
conduct ourselves in the best American ira
dition. Nor is resolution, in itself, enough
We fully discharge our obligation to the
past only when we match high resolve with
action. Ours is a time of crisis and chal-
lenge. We can best honor the dead by meet
ing that challenge with steadfast wisdom
and courage.

HISTORIC MONTH OF MAY

Nav is a significant month in American
history The first permanent English settle
ment was made at Jamestown 355 years ago
this month. Ethan Allen and his Green
Mountain Boys" captured the Brltlsh-held
fortress at Ticonderoga in May of 1775.
In May 1914 Samuel Finley Breese Morse
sent his first telegraph message. Almost
exactly 25 years later the golden spike was
driven at Promontory Point, Utah, to mark
completion of our first transcontinental rail-
road President Lincoln signed the Home
stead act May 20, 1862. A year later Cen
eral Stonewall Jackson was fatally shot by
his own soldiers outside Charlottesville,
Va.
Twenty-seven years after that, on May
81. 1889. occurred the Johnstown flood,
which took more than 1000 lives. Nine years
later Commodore George Dewey smashed
the Spanish fleet at Manila Bay. May 1945
saw the surrender of Germany. In May
1e47 the Truman Doctrine was enacted into
law, and on the same month in 1854 the Su-
nreme Court ruled that racial segregation in
nuhlic schools was unconstitutional.
One of the most interesting May events
in this country's development was the start
of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which
left st. Louis in 1904 and reached the Pa
cifc in September 1906. This daring and
successful expedition, which resulted from
the Louisiana Purchase and was the dream
of President Jefferson, stirred the magma
ton of everyone and launched the westward
march of empire. In some ways 1T tops the
list of American historic events which nave
occurred in the Towering month.

BABSON DISCUSSES "CAMBLING"
Woshinqton Bureou

1t is impossible to know who will
win the "big money!; but any
reader who prefers'not to gamble"
for himself can buy ten shares of
each of the above companies. But
if you omit one, the one you omit
could be the winner.
WAKE UP!
LOOK TO FUTURE EARNINGS,
NOT ONLY TO PAST EARNINGS!
The great discovery may not
come from the human brain alone;
but from the very earth upon
which you are now walking, or
from the cobwebs in your attic, or
the bacteria in your cesspool, or
from anywhere in the world -
wilderness in Borneo, plantation
in Brazil, ranch in Kansas, a
backyard in the u. S. A. From
such places come thousands of soil
samples that are sent to the drug
research laboratories. By using
new bacteria from these samples,
they try to create antibiotics to
combat the infectious diseases still
rampant
For example, in one year, drug
scientists isolated and worked with
$4,000 cultures of microorganisms
With these, they produced few
antibiotics which came excitingly
close to making "big money, but
none made the grade. Perhaps 34,-
900 to 0 seems like poor odds, but
twice in recent wears drug re-
search work has beaten these odds.
Wake up The whole thought
arouses me emotionally. We know
what has happened during the past
so years; we'll, i believe an equal
number of wonderful things will
happen during the next fifty. A
handful of earth may save your
life and it may come from Russia,
China, or India.
