as neutral.
Mr.. Sundlun's list was greeted
in silence by a frankly partisan
crowd Of some $50 persons, who
had come to the District Build
ing for the boards hearing on
a coming variance needed to
construct an embassy in a resi-
dental neighborhood.
Jurisdiction Questioned
The anti-embassy crowd got
its first ticks at the start Of
the hearing, when Robert E.
Lynch. an attorney who lives
near Bonnie Brae at 3217 Joce-
Ign street NV, informed the
coming board that it had no
jurisdiction to grant the permit
requested. He based his case
mainly on the fact that the
present building on the prop
erty will be RACED and a new
one erected. He said this is
specifically excluded from the
boards authority.
"You cannot even consider
the erection Of an office build
ing in an RI district" he said.
What you're doing df the
change is granted) is changing
the law by subterfuge."
His concluding remark was
greeted with a round OF APP
| plause. However, Samuel Scriv-
ener. jr., chairman OF the zon-
ing board, told Mr.. Lynch that
the board has unanimously
decided II does have jurisdic-

Most witnesses indicated

How can a business office be

The question was rhetorical.

On Care OF Food

Despite modern methods of
food processing and refrigera-
tion, food poisoning can still
occur, Miss Janet Coblentz, ex-
tension food and nutrition spe-
cialiSt at the University of Del
aware, told an audience Of wom-
en- at Farm and Home Field Day
last week.
Food spoilage is caused by
molds, yeasts and bacteria which
get into food from the soil or
air, from unsanitary utensils or
from the skin.
While molds and yeasts can
cause spoilage, they do not cause
illness, and, in fact, some Of
them are actually used In produc-
ing certain food items, such as
the mold In Roquefort cheese
and yeasts which cause fermenta-
tion Of wine, Miss Coblentz point
ed out.
However, some bacterial or
ganizisms arc extremely harm
full, causing illn.:ccsS In various
degrees, and in some cases are
fatal. Low acid foods such as
certain vegetables, meat, fish,
poultry ami dairy products, i'm
properly prepared or stored,
provide ideal conditions for ba-
cteria to live and multiply.
Although some food spoilage
cannot be detected, Miss Coblentz
pointed out some general char
Milford chronicle., 1963-09-06

acteristics of spoilage. A glossy
sheen on the surface Of foods, or
putrid or sulphury odor, es-
pecially on meat, fish and poul-
try; a sour taste to normally
bland foods; bulged or loose lids
on food containers; gas bubbles
and mold growth are some signs
Of food spoilage.
Nearly all Of the acute out
breaks of food poisoning involv-
ing large groups Of people are
caused by staphylococci organ
isms, which are spread by un-
sanitary food handling, when the
persons preparing the food have
infections, boils or cuts or sneeze
or cough while preparing food. In
many cases, the food IS not
noticeably altered by the or
ganism, although signs Of spoil
age may appear In custard, filled
pastries, milk, cheese, Ice
cream, fish and meat or other
salads, Miss Coblentz said.
One Of the most commonplaceS
Of staphylococci poisoning In
home cooked foods is In poultry
stuffing which has been allowed
to cool too slowly or at room
temperature. This is the reason
that partial cooking of stuffed
poultry IS always discouraged, !,
Miss Coblentz said, and the rea-
son dressing should be removed
from the bird and cooled very
quickly after the meal. Left at
room temperature for as little
as three hours, these foods can
become contaminated, she point
ed out. To prevent spoilage, re-
frigerate Immediately at very
cold temper atures and then re-
heat very thoroughly. Even under
identical conditions, cooked meat
is more vulnerable to staphylo-
cocci organisms than uncooked
meat.
Salmonella, another type of
food poisoning, is commonly
found In meat, poultry, fish, eggs,
milk, custards and bakery pro-
ducts which undergo much hand
ling, even though they are well
cooked.
Human carriers and infected
animals such as rats and mice
can carry the infection, and 1t
IS very difficult to detect spoil
age since appearance and taste
are not affected. Methods ofpre-
vention include immediate re-
Of food at SO degrees
or colder, a minimum of handling
the food and complete clean
illness.
SStreptococci organisms some
times are noted In canned Vienna
sausage, beef croquettes, coconut
cream pie and poultry dressing.
These organisms can be killed
by heating to the boiling point.
The most powerful food poison
ing organism, is clostricium
botulinum, which is almost
always fatal, Miss Coblentz
pointed out. It IS especially dan

This is the time Of year wher

One Of the most common pro-

plains. However, this fabric
occasionally appears to be un-
even = sometimes several in
cheS off.
There are several causes, and
sometimes the fabric can be
Strengthened and sometimes it
can't, she says. Often the un-
evenness occurs in the finish
Ing process when the fabric is
stretched out of shape. Most
OF the better cottons, rayons and
linens have a crease-resistant
finish, sometimes called drip

many trade names. When this
finish Is applied, the fabric Is

ed completely either before or
after processing. Miss Coblentz
recommends processing home
canned products for at least IS
minutes at $50 degrees or hotter.
Whenever possible and ap-
propriate, cook these foods at
least 10 to Is minutes before
eating, she urges.
Although today's methods of
preserving and preparing food
have greatly decreased the
chances Of food poisoning, it al
ways pays to be sure food is
handled carefully and properly
at all times, Miss Coblentz con-
cluded.
Milford chronicle., 1963-09-06

If it is crooked when the finish
is applied. there is very little
that can be done to straighter
it, and the garment may have to
be cut off grain.
However, sometimes a fabric
will appear to be crooked by less
than an inch. Usually this is the
result Of stretching as the
material is wound onto the bolt,
and it often can be Strengthened.
Printed fabrics sometimes
present another problem. Occas-
ionally, the design is not printed
straight with the threads of the
fabric weave. It is easy to tell
II this has happened, Mrs.
Thomas explains, because when
the fabric is torn, the design
will appear to be jutting of
at an angle.
1t is best not to buy this fabric,
she says, because it presents S
the problem of either cutting
with the threads and having a
crooked design, or cutting with
the design and having the article
sag in uneven folds. This is
especially critical in making
draperies, Mrs. Thomas points
out, since draperies will not
hang in straight folds II they
are cut off grain.
The problems Of crooked
fabrics and what can be done

other factors affecting fabrics,

sp eukins Of Insects

There are more than $500
species of wasps In North Amer
lea. Fortunately, only about so
species bother man. The best
known is probably the yellow
jacket. These small yellow and
black pests produce as painful
a sting as any Of the larger
wasps, or for that matter, any
of the bees as we'll.
Each year wasps sting several
people to death In the United
States, and the yellow jacket is
believed to cause more Of these
deaths than any one Of the
others. Picnics in August and
September are as likely to be
visited by yellow Jackets as
ants, and 1t is on picnics that
they are most dangerous. This
is because they commonly land
on food we are eating. II you
don't watch every bite, 1t Is
fairly easy to chomp down on a
yellow jacket that has started
nibbling on your sandwich.
once inside your mouth, this
wasp is almost certain to sting,
with possible disasterous re-
suits.
Control Of yellow jackets IS
difficult because they nest In
the soil where the majority Of
them are we'll protected. KILL
Ing a few Of them, as they visit
picnic area, doesn't have much
effect because they are quickly
replaced by others. Keeping
picnic refuse picked up and bur-
led is helpful. Spraying refuse
containers weekly with DDVP Is
quite effective. Most people
cannot obtain this insecticide
easily, but It can be purchased
from most Of the larger pes
ticide dealers. Sprays or dusts
Of DDT or SEWN applied to the
entrance Of their nests In the
soil is very effective. It is
best to apply this treatment at
night - for obvious reasons.
Another common stinger IS
the Polistes wasp. They nest
under ewes and In hedges. Their /
nest is single layer Of paper

ally these waSps are mild man.

In Delaware Is alfalfa. The most
pest of this crop Is the

cause complete crop failure If

the fact that they are present anc

they are well protected from the
elements as well as parasites,
predatorS, and insecticides. Eggs
are also laid In the stems of new
growth alfalfa as 1t developes.
The first eggs to hatch are those
which were laid In the fall. II
a large number of these are
present, the larvae coming from
them can cause severe damage
long before cutting time arrives.
BY far the greatest number of
larvae come from spring-laid
eggs, and usually they produce the
most damage.
The weevil larvae are dull
yellow to bright green with a
single white stripe down the mid
die of the back. They feed In
the tightly folded young leaves,
and are difficult to find until
they have grown quite a bit.
The adults are brownish in color
with darker brown figure on the
back. Most Of them spend the
day close to the soil coming up
to the plant tops only in the
evening. AS a result Of this
habit, 1t is difficult to find many
Of them during the day, and a

research at the dental manu-
featuring company. In addition
to performing useful laboratory
work, the high school student
also has the opportunity to OBJ
serve DR.. Glenn and others in
volved in experimental re-
search.
The Ingram lad, who has
maintained an overall average
Of better than 90 while taking
a year of chemistry, a year Of
biology, and year and half
Of general science, finds that
his high school studies have
practical applications.
"My high school instruction,
particularly in chemistry, has
proved very useful this sum-
mer," he said. "The back
ground that we received is help
full in this type of work, or any
allied work for that matter"
He doesn't plan to discontinue
his academic pursuits at this
point, however, but rather hopes
to study chemical engineering,
chemistry or mathematics at
Rochester Institute Of Tech
nology after graduation fr o m
Milford High School. He is cur
rently enrolled in the college
prepar atory course at Milford.
The Milford teenager has
compiled an impressive record
in the field of science already.
In 1861 he served as a repre-
sentative at the Delaware Sci
ence Symposium. The same year
his project, "Life Of the Chick" /,
received first prize at the Mil
ford Science Fair and second
prize at the Delaware Stat e
Science Fair. Last year Glenn's
project, "Possible Formation OF
primitive Amino Acids in the
Primordial Atmosphere Of
Earth, won first prize at the
state science fair.
During 1862 he was a repre-
sentative and speaker at the
Delaware Science Symposium
and delegate to the National
Youth Conference on the Atom
in Chicago. This year his SCI
ence project, "Polarograph" /,
won second prize at both the
Milford and the Delaware State
Science Fairs. Along with his
active participation in science
activities, Glenn has also found
time to perform in the junior
class play, serve as MEM
Der Of the Future Teachers As
sociation, and participate as a
member of the Calvary Method
ist Church and Youth Organiza-
tion.
Glenn's work day this sum-
mer begins at 500 am. and
ends at 4:3o pm. The de-
termination Of the solubility Of
polymers, one Of his two prin-
cipal responsibilities, involves
