'Grand Central Station" For
this reason, Omer had many
new friends before he started
school In September. Omer,
himself, maintains he has not
been homesick and does not feel
at all like stranger.
What about Omer and his
country? His favorite subject,
both here and In Turkey, Is
chemistry and he hopes to be
a chemical engineer. At home he
collected stamps and, like many
of his countrymen, rails d
canaries. Asked about sports,
he paraphrased a Turkish h
proverb: IA good athlete will
never be a good STUDENT" and
81 have always tried to be a
good STUDENT" he explains.
Nevertheless, he has joined Mil
ford's cross country team and,
like all boys in Turkey, plays
soccer.
Turkey IS described by Omer
as being every different" It
is beautiful country with many
historical places "just like a
living history" he says. Istanbul
is comparable to New York City,
with a population of two million,
and has large number of tour
lists, mostly American or Ger
man. Omer's family, with three
brothers and three sisters, likes
to picnic during the spring and
summer at the beach or in {
park. One brother wants to coms
to America and become a citizen
It IS dream of many Turkish
boys and girls to visit and know
America.
Some of Turkeys holidays In
clue period of about two
months religious fasting, high
lighted by much visiting, which
is an important part, Omer tells
US. Soon, following this observ-
ance, which falls in January and
February Of this year, Is an
other religious day. On this day
there is thesacrificing Of grown
male sheep Cor sometimes goats
or cattle) by the family heads
and all adults. Two-thirds Of
this meat is eaten by the family
and one-third is given to the
poor. (Omer's family usually re-
verses the quantities so that
they keep only one-third.)
Two interesting national days
are Republic Day and Teen
agers' Day. Republic Day, Oct.
29th, commemor ates the found
ing of the present Republic forty
years ago by Ataturk, who be-
came its first president. May
10th, the date when the Turkish
War for Independence started
was dedicated to the Turkish
youth by Ataturk, the teens have
meetings with sports and folk
dancing.
Asked If there were anything
special he would like to say
about either Turkey or America,
Omer said he was grateful to
everyone here because he has
never felt like a stranger or a
foreigner.

How To Use

to tell whether food Is safe to

Miss Coblentz will outline var

methods of freezing, canning,

Bright Future

An advance in dye chemistry
which should help boost the use
of polypropylene fiber from
practically nothing this year to
more than 200 million pounds
by 1870 was described here to-
day by Allied Chemical Corp.
at a meeting Of the Delaware
Valley Section of the American
Association of Textile Chemists
and Colorists.
Allied Chemicals National
Aniline Division has developed
eight new dyes that overcome
the well-known problems of
CONNIE rcially dyeing poly
propylene and now make it pos
sible to produce a wide variety
Of colored polypropylene fabrics
that have excellent washing and
dry cleaning properties and light
fastness equal to or better than
those Of other synthetic fibers.
DR.. Paul L. Stright, research
chemist for National Aniline,
told the AATCC meeting thai
the new dyes may soon result
in a host of new clothing, home
furnishings and other products
made with polypropylene fiber.
Most Of the polypropylene fiber
in the next few years will &c
into carpets and rugs, apparel
Innings, knitwear, blankets,
draperies, upholstery, slip
covers, rope, twine and cordage,
he said.
Polypropylene fiber has big
potential as a textile material
because of its relatively low
cost, lightness, strength, dura-
bility and attractive appearance.
1t costs less than wool, nylon,
Dacron, Orion and most other
synthetic fibers. 1t is the light
est Of all synthetic fibers, and
thus provides more coverage
per pound. And the fiber does
not absorb moisture, is hard to
stain and easy to clean.
Textile producers have long
known about the merits Of poly
propylene fabrics, but up to now
the market for the fiber was
limited because the material
was very difficult to dye,
Ordinary dyes wouldn't stay ir
the fiber because there was nc
way for them to chang on" tc
polypropylene. Earlier efforts II
modifying the fiber to improve
dyeability have increased the
fiber's cost. National Aniline's
new dyes, however, link uI
firmly with polypropylene fiber
and are applied by commercial

Recreation Hand dbook

A handbook for land owners
interested in going into the

H. Hender son, County Agent.
The publication is "Rural
R cation Enterprises for

formation Bulletin 277.
Henderson says the 44-page
bulletin is written for private
land owners and operators, who
have about three -fourths of the
Nations land and who increas-
ingly are turning to outdoor
recreation as a new source of
income.
In discussing the outdoor

petite for open spaces, green
areas, and water based recrea-
tion will be met fully only as
private land owners enter the

The new publication details
the questions an individual needs
to consider in deciding whether
or not to offer paying customers
the opportunity for outdoor
recreation on his land. It gives
sugge stions about checking po-
tential markets, inventorying
land and water resources, plan

program except for these slight
notifications:
/. The top limit on diversion

greater.

Beware OF Prussic
Acid Poison

The coming of cold weather
brings the threat Of prussic acid

H. Henderson, County Agent. He
indicates that the danger occurs
in plants of the sorghum family,
and usually just after a cold
snap. II such crops are grazed
by live stock there is real danger
of sickness and even death to
livestock, he warns.
Henderson says certain chem
ical changes occur in the frost
wilted plants which cause tn e
development Of the highly
poisonous prussic acid. This
poison is so deadly that 1t can
kill an animal in a very short
time unless immediate action
is taken by a veterinarian.
While there is danger in
grazing frost-wilted sorghum
Immediately after 1t has been
affected, It can be utilized after
it has completely dried. Also
such plants may be used for
silage. Enough prussic acid is
lost during the ensiling process
and as the silage is removed
