them, they're 81 a pound.
There are 5000 in q pound.
Johns sense Of humor lets
you know that maybe the cost
is worth the show you get
from the postman who de-
livers the live hive.
The bees come in O small,
wood-and-wire crate. It's a
busy box full of buzzing
sounds. A red and white
label bears the words: Live
Bees -Rushl Don't Drop or
Throwl Keep Cool"
Frightened POstmen
According to John, no post
man ever does. HE arrives
shaking. a crate In each
hand, and in o tremulouS
voice utters: 'He-r-e-s-yo-ur
b-e-e-e-s.'"
Why does John put people
and bees through this hard
ship course? Does he like
honey so much?
NO." says John. II don't
like honey at all. It leaves
an awful taste in my mouth"
And how does he feel about
bees IN chocolate, q tid-bit
TEEN learned about at q
beatnik party?
Haven't tried It," John
said with O diSdainful ex-
preston, even after he was
assured that the delicacy Of
honey bees covered with
chocolate are not only
crunchy cit must be their
wing fiber) but they're bee
licious. It's something for
John to think about, any
way. Should his honey crop
fail. he could start dipping
bees.

Buzzing Along With the Bees

but not Q tree. Don't be
afraid. Bees can smell It If
you are"
John says that once q bee
stingS you, every bee you
meet the rest Of your life will
do the same. The scent from
that bee stays on you and
you're marked as an intruder.
For that reason, John, who's
been stung some 200 times,
smokes each sting with his
smoking can to take away the
scent.
Bees really outsmart them
selves when John puts his
smoker to them. The burlap-
burning contraption makes
the bees think they're on fire
as they drink up nectar and
get so filled they can't sting.
In the fall, John hopes to
collect about 100 pounds of
honey. paste labels on the
jars that he printed In his
school printing class, and do

in Wheaton at so cents q Jar.
Hopeful Of Patent
To further his finances. he
hopes TO patent q new comb
foundation. That's the con-
traption bees put their
honey in.
John also makes money
renting his bees to orchard
owners In the spring. They
pay him S. o hive, for polli-
mating purposes.

John Caulk has 100000 Of

But It's not Just tubs Of

High sophomore, who has
5000 tied up in his honey bees
and equipment, and finds
that bees keep him humming.
The bees. too, are going
around with their tongues
hanging out when they've got
nectar on their minds. When
they've slipped enough to fill
their honey sacks, they get
q buzz on and fly home and
unload. They make IS or 20
trips o day. No wonder, ex-
plains John, that they drop
dead Of fatigue. They liter
ally work their wings off,
fall to the ground and die.
During the honey bees

John learned this four
years ago when he started
beekeeping. His father gave
him so bees in an observation
hive. He kept it in his bed
room window. When John
wanted to expand and move
the hive to the backyard,
the bees became frustrated.
so he put a ladder to his win
dow and, little by little and
day by day, he slowly lowered
the hive to the ground and
the bees didn't realize they
were being moved to o new
location.
Talking to John makes bees
seem almost human. Espe-

Letter TO the Editor
April %, 1868

Dear Editor,
The subject of this letter is
Representation without Taxa
tion."
1t is noted that, as a sep
arate taxing authority, the
Board of Education of the Smy-
rna Special School District has
authorized a special school ell
ection on May l, 1868. The pur-
pose of this election is to de-
termine whether or not addit-
ional taxes may be levied and
collected on real estate only
for general school purposes.
The general school purposes
have been specifically expanded
to include authorization for
needed funds to pay current
expenses. Although not spelled
out to the voters, this might
include an increase in teachers
pay to level paid in the VIII
mington District. Maybe there
will be teacher pay war STAR
ted among the separate School
Districts In Delaware.
At this time no higher rate
for the Capitation tax is being
voted on. 1t may be anticipated
that non property owning voters
will vote unanimously in favor
of the tax on real estate pro-
perty. Such a vote will make
certain that owners of real
estate property mustpay for the
entire increase In the school
tax. If the special election ad-
vocated an increase in the Cap
tation Tax both real estate pro-
perty owners and those owning
no real estate would be subject
to a higher tax If the election
approved the increase.
AS the special election is
framed to tax owners of real
estate property only, the non
property owners have voting
representation on a tax in
crease that does not apply to
them. "This is Representation
without Taxation" except to
property owners.
The Special Election provis-
ions should be revised to ad-
vocate an increase in the Capt.
tation Tax. This will give all
voters a chance to vote on a
fair basis as to whether or not
a tax. which applies to all, is
increased.

AFL-CI0 Urges
Minimum WAGE
Law Expansion

WASHINGTON, d. C.-There are
100000 restaurants, laundry, hotel,
motel and hospital workers who ought
to be under the protection of federal
minimum wage laws, in the opinion
of the AFL-CIO.
AFL-CIO Legislative Director An
drew j. Biemiller hopes that these
"lowest paid workers in America"
will be covered by the 88th Congress
under legislation supported by the
Federation.
Speaking on a network radio inter-
view over the Mutual Broadcasting
System, Biemiller declared:
''This is a hard fight, but the labor
movement has dedicated itself to this
fight and we intend to throw every
thing we have into it,
A $5O0,0OO,00O increase in pur-
chasing power in the United States
was direct result of the 1861 amend
ment to the Wage and Hour Act, ac-
cording to an official Department
of Labor report, Biemiller said. This
amendment extended coverage to an
additional 4.3 million workers and
upped the minimum wage to $1.25
an hour.
"The primary weapon in fighting
unemployment in the United States"
Biemiller stressed, sis to increase
power Through in
creased purchasing power" he con-
tinued, 1--WE believe the unemploy-
ment problem will eventually take
care of itself"
Although low wages are prevalent
in the south (47 cents an hour for
chambermaids in Atlanta, Ga.), Bic
miller said other areas of the coun-
try are also guilty of underpaying
1on-tipped employees.
Organized labor's projected pro-
gram, which would call for revisions
n the Wage and Hour Act, is three
old:
/. Immediate extension of coverage
or those workers passed over by
Congress in the past.
2. Reducing the current 4OIhour
vorkweek.
3. Eventually raising the minimum
wage from its present $1.25 an hour
evel.

LEGISLATION TO HELP
TRANSITION

HR 2105 is essentially aimed at
helping management make the transi-
ton to decomposable detergents. The
commercial risks of such change are
evident. T h manufacturer who
undertakes it Immediately raises the
costs of his product, thereby putting
himself at competitive disadvantage
with any manufacturer who does not
make the change. Conceivably the en-
tire American industry could place
itself at similar disadvantage in re-
lation to imported detergents made
under the old, nondecomposing for
mulas. Again, the German experience
is valuable as a guide.
The West German government, con-
cerned with the problem of detergent
water pollution, tried prolongedly and
unsuccessfully to accelerate research
by private German industry. Switch
ing to legislation, the legislature of
the Federal German Republic passed
the law of September 5, 1861. Under
its provisions, nondecomposable syn
thetic detergents are banned from
the German market after December
81, 1864. An executive order of Octo-
Der 1862 spells out the details of
technical compliance. Briefly, the
new standard of decomposability is
80 per cent as compared with the |
former rate of 20 per cent. The legis-
lation and it's ensuing executive order
are designed to protect the co-opera-
tive manufacturer against unfair !

would abolish all federal income, in
heritance and gift taxes, and would
at the same time compel the u. S.
by forced sale to get rid of all prop
critics and activities not specifically
mentioned in the u. S. Constitution
lie, to go into bankruptcy.
The first provision would deprive
it of more than $40 billions yearly
income, or the cost of national de-
Tense. The second would require the
sale of panic prices of hundreds of
billions of dollars worth of the ma
toms property, since only short
time would be given for disposal.
Included would be all public works
like IVA and the vast western recla-
nation program, the Panama Canal,
etc., plus national forests, parks, and

their state legislatures.
The u. S. Supreme Court holds
that citizen deprived of fair repre-
sentation in his state legislature, is
deprived of American rights under
the u. S. Constitution, and can appeal
to the federal courts for justice.
In many states such citizens have
resorted to federal courts. In some,
they have won. The whole issue is
awaiting specified Supreme Court de-
cision as to what constitutes fair
representation.
The new movement would stop all
this. Citizens would have no recourse
beyond their own state courts. In such
matters they'd be prisoners of states
only. surremdering their U. S. consti-
tutional rights in this most vital re-
gard.

by universities, the latter two with
the aid of grants from the Depart
ment of Health, Education, and Wei
fare through the Public Health Serv-
ice. Similar research is also being
conducted by the detergent industry,
although industry spokesman have
sometimes shown an unfortunate
tendency to treat the problem as es-
sentially one of public relations
public education rather than as the
important part of the water pollution
problem it certainly is.
At this point the problem is one
of production and costs, not one of
discovering the technical solution.
Fittingly enough, it was made in
Germany, the original source OF
both the benefits and dangers of
synthetic detergents.
The new types of detergents have
been successfully developed in plants
at Huells, at Gelsenkirchen, and at
These new synthetics clean
as we'll as those now in use. But they
decompose in much the manner of
soap made from natural animal and
vegetable fats, and they do so without
foaming. They are only slightly more
expensive than the nondecomposing
synthetics now threatening the purity
of our water. The problem is not a
laboratory problem, but an industrial
problem.
