time. A few winters ago during
a heavy snow storm a large
number of stranded motorists
including infants were bedded
down and fed at the fire house.
On the hottest day in a re-
cent summer the ladies were
asked to rush hot coffee to the
scene of a drowning. The divers
from the rescue squad emerged
from the 38-degree depths in
need of hot drink. One of the
members then told of the time

home in his car and called out

KennedYWa0
On Red Role
In Moon Race
By GARRETT ID. HORNER
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy doubts
Soviet Premier KhrushcheV
really has taken Russia out of
the moon race.
In any event, the President
stressed at a press conference
yesterday, he believes that 60
ing ahead with the program
aimed at putting an American
on the moon by 1870 is essen
tial to the Nations security.
Mr.. Khrushchev said in an
interview published Sunday
that at the present time we
are not planning flights of
coSmonauts to the moon"
His remarks were widely In
terpreted as meaning that, pos
sibly for economic reasons,
Russia had abandoned the race
to be first to put a man on the
moon.
II didn't read that into his
statement" Mr.. Kennedy said.
Il thought his statement was
rather cautiously worded and
I did not get in it any assur-
ance that Mr.. Khrushchev or
the Soviet Union were out Of
the space race at all"
He added that he would not
make any bets at all upon
Soviet intentions" and that
I'VE have no idea whether the
Soviet Union is going to make
a race for the moon or whether
it is going to attempt an even
greater program"
He said he thought it re-
markable that some people who
were unwilling to accept the
partial nuclear test ban were
perfectly ready to accept Mr..
Khrushchev's very guarded
and careful and cautious re-
marks that he was taking him
self out Of the space race, and
use that as an excuse for us
to abandon our efforts"
The President emphasized
that "the Soviets have made
an intensive effort in space,
and there is every indication
that they are continuing"
Urging that Khrushchev re-
marks be read very carefully,
he said he believed the Pre-
mier said that before anyone
went to the moon there should
be adequate preparation. I'VE
agree with that" he said.
Stressing national security,
the President said it is not
a question Of Just going to
the moon-"it is a question Of
having the competence to mas
ter this environment"
Mr.. Khrushchev in his dis
claimer Of any present plans
for flights to the moon said
Soviet scientists are working
on this problem" He added,
however, that I'VE do not want
to compete in sending people
to the moon without careful
preparation"
His statement has prompted
some fears here that Congress.
would drastically cut moor
program appropriations.

besides celebrating Lincoln's S
birthday on the 18th and Wash
ington's on the 22nd, we had
three birthdays in our class to
remember. Billy Schuler's S birth
day was Feb. 14th Valentines S
Day. Sheree Short and Judy Fos-
key will celebrate their birth
days on the 9th and 28th.
Another special day In Febru-
ary was Valentines Day. We
had fun making Valentines, learn
ing songs and poems and ex-
changing Valentines with each
other. We decorated large en-
velopes which we fastened to
the blackboard ledge. Then we
delivered our Valentines. We
wrote invitations to our mothers
and fathers to a party and pro-
gram on Feb. Is. Since Billy's
birthday was on Valentines Day,
his mother, Mrs. Schuler, had
charge Of refreshments for the
party. Our class wants to thank
her for such nice party.
February will soon be gone,
and we think perhaps winter is
on its way out, too. Just last
week Ernie brought some pussy
willow to school, so we know
that Spring can't be too far away.
At least, we hope so don't

MR.. DOMKE'S
SCIENCE CLUB

Our class was so interested
In Science that we started
a Science Club. Mr.. Domke, our
teacher, helped us to start the
meeting.
First we began by electing Of
ftcers. We decided we needed
a president, vice-president and
a secretary. The following stu
dents were elected: President :
Gary Lofland, Vice President
Steve Murphy, and Secretary :
Linda Bennett.
Many problems and ideas were
brought up, debated, and settled
by the club. One suggestion de-
cfded on was to report the clubs.
activities in the newspaper.
We listed some fields Of SCI
ence we could study and decided
that we would start with the sub
1ect. OF sound. All members of
the club will read about sound
this week and at our next meet
ing we will begin our study.
Each week experiments related
to our study will be performed
to help explain our discussions.
We hope our science club will
be success. ff

SECTION l
The special days in February
have made this an interesting
month for our class.
Through many stories, poems,
songs, and pictures, we studied
about two of our great presi-
dents Abraham Lincoln and
George Washington. We memo
rized one of the poems about
Lincoln that we especially liked.
We would like to share 1t with
you.
WHEN LINCOLN WAS A BOY
by Jane Keith
When Lincoln was a boy like
me,
He studied every night
With nothing but the fireplace
or candle-end for light.
He wrote his sums and letters
On a shovel's humpy back,
And all the pencils he had
were some bits Of stick
burned black.
He walked for miles to bor-
row books to read.
For In those pioneer days,
books were rare indeed.
But now the library round
the corner
Is full of books for me.
And I have paper and pencils,
And I have electricity.
So whenever I complain to
Dad
About the homework have
to do,
He says, Suppose you had
what Lincoln had when he
was a boy like youi"
We enjoyed singing songs about
our country, learning about our
flag, and marching as we thought
Washington's soldiers marched.
'Soldier Boy" was our favorite
We also learned to play
1t with our rhythm band instru-
Our favorite stories about
were: "The Little
Cooks Reward" and "The
Cherry Tree".

"THE APPOINTMENT OF A
PLANNING COMMISSION and the
preparation of a comprehensive
master plan are fundamental be-
fore a program of coming should
be started I'm the lower counties. )"
These were the recommendations
Of the Delaware State Grange al
Its last annual convention.
People should have a chance
to study the growth of our area.
They should be able to offer
suggestions for discussion, and
In other ways help to guide this
growth constructively.
We should ask ourselves these
two questions: % What kind of
a community do we want TO live
in7 CD What are we willing to
do to achieve It?
Population growth pressures
are bound to come. Planning
and zoning are tools of govern
ment to preserve an orderly
manner of growth.

FARM SHOW CROWDS at
Harrisburg this year we're the
largest In history. And Delaware
farmers helped to swell at
tendance al this midwinter show.
Statesmen, usually the most
skeptical of crowds, were i'm
pressed with the buying in
tentions of the visitors. This
does not necessarily mean that
farmers are flush with money.
It simply indicates that today's
farmer must spend more money
on machinery to cut down on
labor costs. This gives him more
time for headwork instead of
hand work to run their farms.
So to spend his money as
smartly as possible, he Just has
to go to the Show to keep ahead
OF new deveIopmentS In MS DuSf-
ness. A farmer who went with
me was looking over new liquid
manure spreaders for his dairy
operation.
Too, 1t is surprising howmany
old friends and technical farm
experts with whom you trade in
formation. The new developments
often lead to new friends and
new knowledge so essential to
"keep up'' these days.

FEED GRAIN PROGRAM
| OPEN TO MULTIPLE-FARM
OWNERS
The 1868 feed grainprogram /.
open to owners Of several farms
whether they sign up only one
farm or all the farms they own
according to r. Harry Wilson
Chairman, Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation County
Committee.
"It Is not necessary to sigI

an interest In the feed graiT
crops In order TO qualify fol
payments and price support OF
one farm" the Chairman said

does not exceed the base acre.
age on nonparticipating FARMS
The 1868 feed grain program
applies to corn, grain sorghum,
and barley. Growers Of these
crops may sign up to take par
in the program at the ASCs
County Office. The signup ex-
tends through March %.
The price-support payment :
a new feature Of the 1868 pro-
gram will be made on the
normal production of the acreage
planted to one or more of the
three feed grains In 1868. It
will be figured according to the
kind Of crop planted, based on
|18 cents per bushel for corn,
IA cents per bushel for barley,
and 16 cents per bushel for
grain sorghum.
Mr.. Wilson gave the following
example of how producer with
an interest In more than one
farm can take part In the 1868
feed grain program:
"Suppose a producer has an
interest In two farms growing
corn, grain sorghum, or barley.
He files an intention-to-partici-
pate form for Farm MI, and
carries out all program pro-
visions on that farm. On Farm
~, he keeps the feed grain acre
age (of corn, barley, and grain
sorghum) within the base acre
age 1959-60 average, as ad-
justed) for Farm #2.
"Under these conditions. the
producer would be eligible for
all the benefits of the program
on Farm III. However, If the
feed grain acreage exceeded the
feed grain base acreage on Farm
~, the producer would be in
eligible for any Of the program
benefits on Farm III.
"Any other producers on Farm
VI who do not have an interest
In the feed grain crops on any
other farm would not be affected
BY the feed grain production on
Farm NJ. In other words, they
would be eligible for their shares
,f the diversion and price
payments for the partici-
'ating Farm H., and they would
llso be eligible for price-support |
oans or purchase agreements
IN their shares Of the 1868 pro-
iuction Of corn, grain sorghum, |
md barley on Farm #1."

Why No Comment?

On Wednesday, December 26, the
United States Steel Hour gave an
excellent play, THE Duchess and the
Smugs." 1t was like a breath of
fresh air in the miasma of the world
of television. Yet, have seen no
mention of it, in praise or criticism.
Since there are so few good plays
shown now, with most programs de-
voted to violence and crime. think
the United States Steel Hour should
be commended for its excellent pro-
