TS THAT wheat you
planted certificated?" asked
the Pig after a while.
YES" lied the Little Red
Hen, embarrassed in her
confused state.
"Well then" said the Pig,
"for the first time you will
have two levels of support
the higher support for
certificated wheat and the
lower for noncertificated
wheat"
But I only planted one
grain," said the Little Red
Hen.
II would say" said the
Pig, you're in trouble. What
you should have done was to
have diverted that land from
wheat production to con-
serving uses"
The Little Red Hen be-
gan to feel funny around
her wish bone. The Wise Old
Pig got up and stopped over
to an old apple and munched
1t slowly.
IF wheat produced by
you," he said betwee e n
munches, "is In excess of
the farm allotment, you
could be subject TO a mar
keting quota penalty Of
about $l.65 per bushel."
The Little Red Hen raced
up the hill. The wheat was
just pushing through the
earth.
Who will help me pull up
the wheat so ] won't have to
cut 1t, or thresh II, or take 1t
up to the miller's, or have II
ground, or make II into
bread, or eat II, or fill out

construction under q bond
issue that voters will approve
or reject May 28 may be
reduced slightly.
More Time Sought
The projected school bond
would provide $29.9 million to
build the classroom equivalent
of l9 elementary, four inter-
mediate and three high schools.
These rooms are planned
through mid-1967 to house an
expected annual increase in en-
rollment of 1000.
The board hopes to buy
school sites farther in advance
of need than in the past and
plans to give school architects
more time to work on designs.
Recommended In Report
This was recommended in the
Mills report.
THE problem Is not the
method used for the selection
of architects, but rather their
inability to obtain the neces-
sary lead time to allow for
each project fees are not
the solution to this matter
reuse Of the plans is recon-
mended only when time is a
factor"
Mr.. Newman said time is
always a factor. We've had to
accept things when possibly we
shouldn't because we've had to
get the children in the
schools" he said.
The major construction de-
feat found by the engineer was
at Mark Twain intermediate
School, which is one Of five
built to the same plans.
Mr.. Mills found large cracks
in a 260-foot-long front wall
Of the school. Although there
were identical walls at the
other four schools built from
the same plans, Mark Twain
had the only cracks.
Raises Some Doubts
Because of the obvious and
pronounced cracks in the mas
onry wall in a number Of
places. there is some doubt to
relative value received for
funds expended" Mr.. Mills
commented.
Mr.. Newman said the cracks
may be due to the fact that the
wall received more sun than
those at the other schools, and
that this dried mortar too fast.
Since this report was made
to school officials on March
20. repairs have been made.
The total cost was less than
$780," according to Division
Superintendent Earl c. Fun
derburk.
Mr.. Mills said his visits to
the 10 schools were made in
company with Thomas @.
Dodd, former school construc-
ton supervisor. who first ques-
toned the quality of building
work last June. He made the
charges Of substandard con-
struction at a hearing before
the County Civil Service Com
mission, where he was protest.

school system.
'Mr. Dodd was asked on sew

community"
But the engineering report
recommended improvements in
construction supervision and
higher overall quality control.
The school board said in its
evaluation Of the engineering
study that The school con-
struction program should re-
main as its responsibility"
Transfer Was Issue
The possibility Of transfer
ring the construction function
to the County Department of
Public Works was an issue be-
tween the County Supervisors
and the old school board which
was fired last November.
The present board said that
construction has "traditionally
been the problem of school
boards" 1t stated that "the
present investigation has pro-
duced no evidence Of negligence
or mismanagement Of the con-
struction program.
Studies to bring about i'm
provements in construction can
best be carried out under the
school board, and will be q
matter Of continuous action"
The board stated that NOV
ing school construction inspec-
ton and supervision to the De-
partment of Public Works
would add to the already
complex liaison and co-ordina-
ton involved" and would
hamper the solution of ex-
isting problems as we'll as fu-
ture ones"
The board said that "im-
provements of any area of
school construction can be
made most efficiently and
rapidly by the School Board
working in close cooperation
with other County agencies
and Departments"
School Board Chairma a n
Eugene L. Newman said at a

the engineering report and

released that the board will
study the Mills suggestion that
a complete overhaul of super

DUMP" asked the Little Red
Hen.
Marketing quotas for the
1864 wheat crop have been
proclaimed and May 81, 1868,
has been set as the date Of
the referendum" said the
Pig. "You wanted to plant
wheat and now you're stuck
with it."
I'm Industrious" said the
Little Red Hen.
Tough, said the Pig. He
rolled over heavily and
looked up at the Little Red
Hen. Wheat supplies are
excessive. The law gives
the guidelines as to what
are excessive supplies. In
the absence Of marketing
quotas, the supply Of wheat
for the marketing year be-
ginning July /, 1854, is es-
timated at 2.8 billion BUSH
els. This would be more
than twice as much as esti-
mated domestic disappear
ance and exports"
The Little Red Hen
thought about asking the
Pig to say that again. And
she did. And he did.

Duiry Cows
Need Salt

Dairy cows need salt, accord
Ing to VIM. H. Henderson, Sus-
sex County Agent. In fact, If
they are continually deprived
OF the proper amount Of salt
In their ration, they may develop
a salt deficiency, he says.
Prolonged use of a salt de-
ficient ration may cause loss
of body weight, poor appetite,
and a decline In milk produc-
tion. There have been cases,
he says, where deaths have been
caused by a lack of salt In the
animals diet.
A cow producing so pounds of
milk a day will probably need
about 2 Va ounces of salt daily.
Henderson suggests farmers
feed a grain mix containing one
percent salt and also provide
loose salt In a protected box.
This allows the animals to get
as much salt as they desire.
Cows will eat more salt when
1t is fed In loose form, accord
ing to Henderson, but adequate
amounts will be eaten If 1t Is
provided In block form.

car accidents, rear-end col
ltstonS and other accidents In
which the driver apparently fell
asleep but may well have been
suffering from carbon monoxide
poisoning.
"Carbon monoxide, the silent
killer, causes more deaths than
any other poison" McMullen
said.
It is colorless, tasteless, nom
Irritating and almost odorIess.
It can kill within minutes. The
symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning are: tightness across
the forehead, followed or ac-
companied by throbbing In the
temples, headache, WEAKNESS,
weakness, dizziness, nausea,
loss of muscular control and
Increased pulse and respiration.
If you're driving at night and
the darkness seems blacker than
usual, the glare of oncoming
lights brighter than usual, car
bon monoxfde might well be the
cause.
If the concentration of car
bon monoxide In the air is great
enough, the victim may fall un-
conscious without any warning
signals.
"Fresh air." McMullen said,
sis the one sure way to pre-
vent carbon monoxide poison
ing."
Make sure exhaust gases are
not getting inside your car by
checking your muff1er and ex-
haust pipe, he advised.
Other suggestions from the
Delaware Safety Council:
l. Before starting your car
engine, open the garage doors
wide.
2. Never drive with all the
windows closed.
8. Don't follow other cars too
closely. Their exhaust contains
carbon monoxide fumes which
may enter your car.

There has been no positive
identification of the body of a
man fished out of the Delaware
Bay nearly two months ago.
State Police said the investi-
cation Is continuing but no one
has come forward who claimed
to know the victim, white man
about 40 years old.
A pocket watch with the words
f'nlinois," taken from the body
has been sent to New Jersey
authorities (who maintain
a jewelry file) In hopes that they
may uncover a clue to his name
and address.
The man, who has a tattoo of
a star over an American Flag
and an eagle and a scroll on his
forearm, is thought by the police
to be a former U. S. Sailor.
A dental chart has been for
warded to naval authorities.
Checking of possible leads on
the mans identity has ranged as
far as Seattle, WASH, police
said.
The body was discovered float
ing In the bay nine miles north
of Roosevelt Inlet, Lewes, on
September 10, by a menhaden
fishing boat and was recovered
from the water by U. S. Coast
Guard cutter. It had been In the
water for over a month, police
said, and an autopsy revealed
that the victim had drowned.
There was no evidence of foul
play.
