DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: I went steady

knitting him a sweater. I
bought yarn in his favorite
colors and chose q style /

friends started telling me that
Harry was hanging around
another girl, but he denied
1t. Last Saturday night Harry
called me, said he didn't feel
well, and he broke our date
for that night. My brother
saw him out with this girl.
We had a big fight over it
and broke UP for good. The

Professor Of Education,

We must impress on stu
dents that learning is q life
long process.
This is especially true to-
day. Mans knowledge about
the universe has doubled in
the last few years. New
knowledge and approaches
are introduced so fast that It
is impossible for schools to
offer the vast number of
courses required to keep
abreast of these develop
mentS.
The only way to bridge the
widening gap between formal
schooling and our automated
society is for the individual
to study on his own.

Az. Yearbook
Announced by

Senator John ]. Williams
(R.-Del.) today announced that
the 1868 Agriculture Yearbook
is available for distribution.
This years volume, "a Place
to Live" I" devotes its 608 pages
to a discussion of such things
as rural development, urban and
suburban sprawl into farmlands,
parks and open spaces, the
functions of governing bodies,
and the management of water
and air pollution.
The 7o-chapter book was writ
ten In non-technical language
by 81 authors, among them Of
ficials of State and Federal
governments, college profess
sors, planning officials, and
economists.
Senator Williams said that
limited supply of the books
will be available from his Of
flee in Washington on a first
come, first-served basis.
Persons interested In OBJ
tanning a copy of "a Place to
Live" should address their re-
quests to Senator John ]. VIII

EVERY 33rd DAIRY animal
In Delaware is registered Hol-
stein. Nationally 265, ,000Hol-
stems we're registered last
year. And 65% of all Holsteins
are bred to A l sires, or arti-
ficially disseminated.
These facts we're given at
our county Holsteins meeting
held at the Viola community hall
of Bob Heilman, the area field
man. There seems to an in
creasing interest In pure bred
cattle as reflected by their high
er levels of production over
grade stock. Grade animals are
not usually as carefully selected
for production.
1t Is easier and quicker to
improve milk production when
COW families, and theirproduc-
tion records, are known.
A five state Holstein plann-
'ng conference was held last
weekend In Dover, Bread
show, sales, barn meetings and
other events we're scheduled for
the next year. Hosting the events
was Purnal Friedel, of Viola,
the president of the Delaware
Holstein-FrieSian Association.

FRED MOTT, our Soil Con-
servationist, and | spent a
couple of hours the other day
developing a recreation busi-
ness plan for a small farm south
of FELTON,. We feel that this is
one of the best uses for small
farms that no longer pay their
way as crop land.
1t is not easy. Nor is 1t sim
pie. Nor is 1t suited for every
one. But vacation farm, or a
riding stable, or a pay picnic
area, or pay camp sites, can
provide a good source of in
come for folks who like other
people. And as with any busi-
ness, success comes with care
full planning and sound man
agement.
Fred and | feel that the first
essential in Delaware farm re-
creation is a good farm pond.
Water sports such as boating,
fishing, swimming, or ice skat-
ing can make a farm holiday
more attractive and repay their
costs.
We are getting lots of self
help suggestions in booklet form
for those who may be interest
ed. Just call Fred at o97-337o
or me at 73o-l448. We will

WEEDY WOODS are not pro-
fitable. An unmanaged wood
land, like an uncared for garden,
may produce mostly weeds, ac-
cording to Arkansas Extension
foresters. But a woodlot that
has been pruned, thinned, weed
ed and protected from fire, in
sects and diseases can be ex-
pected to produce continuous
crops of readily marketable
timber at profit to the own
er.
THE SALE Or us. WHEAT
to Russia will have more eff
feet In reducing government
wheat stocks than in changing
the current price of wheat.
University of Illinois agri-
cultural economist TIA. HE
ronymus says that wheat prices
are likely to change very little
between now and next spring.
The government will sell more
wheat out of its stockpile than
the carryover will be reduced.
The net effect will be a de-
crease In reserve stocks.
He says the most significant
point in the governments de-
cision to sell wheat is that these
sales will come out of govern
ment inventories. If the govern
ment is to take over part OF
the 1868 wheat crop that far
mers have placed under loan,
then wheat prices will not rise
above the support price.

Since there are over SO
animal diseases which can be
given TO man, it is a goodidea to
observe a few simple pre-
cautions whenever you might
come in contact with any in
fected animals. The following
are among the most common
forms of animal infection.
Rabies is no doubt the best
known of these infections. Both
wild and domestic animals can
transmit it. With rabies the
most important thing is to dag
nose the disease before the
symptoms develop. First the
bite wounds and skin breaks
should be thoroughly washed
with soap and water and your
family doctor consulted and then
the biting animal should be OBJ
served carefully to see if there
are any signs of rabies.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
is spread by infected wood ticks
which are carried by dogs, rab-
bits and other small animals
Fever, rash, a severe headache
and sometimes pneumonia are
symptoms of this disease. If your
area is heavily infested, it might
be a wise precaution to take a
series of immunizing shots
early in the spring.
Brusellosis or undulant fever
is carried by cattle, sheep and
goats. 1t is possible to detect
infected animals by means of a
simple test.
Parrot fever is carried by
many kinds of birds such as
chickens, ducks, lovebirds and

through a cut or scratch. The
first sign of rabbit fever is an
ulcerlike sore at the point Of
contact. This is followed by
headache, chills, fever, back
ache and general weakness. If
you should have any question
about being infected, consult
your family doctor immedi-
ately.

parakeets. Its symptoms re-
semble those of influenza and
pneumonia.
Rabbit fever or tularemia is
carried by many small wild ami
mails such as rabbits. squirrels,
oppossums and skunks. This d.
sease can be caught by hunters
or their wives who skin and
clean infected small game.
Wearing rubber gloves when
skinning animals is ADVISABLE,

IF YOU ARE one of the thou
sands who are hunting this sea-
son, make sportsmanship and
safety part of each trip. More
hunters are In the field than
ever before. Everyone should
use common sense in handling
guns.
The true hunter displays both
sportsmanship and safety. He
knows how to use the right
gun for the right game. He is
safe and courteous to other
hunters and landowners. For
bird hunting, he takes a trained
dog to retrieve cripples. He
puts out campfires and cigaret-
ties carefully, breaks matches
before dropping them and, in
other ways, shows considera-
tion and uses precautions.
Here are ten rules of hunting
safety that should be followed:
l.. Treat every gun as though
it were loaded.
2. Carry only empty guns,
saken down or with the action
open, into your auto, camp and
home.
3. Be sure that the barrel and
action are clear of Instructions.
4. Always carry your gun so
you can control the direction of
the muzzle, even If you stumble.
5. Be sure of your target be-
fore you pull the trigger.
6. Never point a gun at any
thing you do not want to shoot.
7. Never leave your gun un-
attended, unless you unload it
first.
8. Never climb a tree or a
fence with a loaded gun.
g, Never shoot at flat hard
surface or the surface of wa
ter.
10. Do not mix gunpowder and
alcohol.

BIOLOGISTS HAVE PROV
ED there is no scientific basis
for assuming that earlynut col
lecting by squirrels means a
severe winter.
Squirrels hide their winter
food in many caches and sense
them out when the food is need
ed. And they always store about
10 times more food than they
actually need.
BY leaving many of these
caches of nuts and seeds un-
touched, squirrels perform a
valuable service to mother ma
nre by starting new trees.
Their value as tree planters far
outweighs their disadvantage as
consumers.

Maybe we need TO take a new
look at a program that tries
TO prepare 30 per cent OF our
boys to go TO college and ends
up sending only 20 per cent.
Maybe the Illustrations Of the
10 per cent are in part respon-
sible for our present social
problem.
In recommending more em-
phasis on preparing more boys
for a well-paying trade rather
than higher education, the
editorial observes:
IF the 30 per cent could
be prepared for a Job which
they can do and have some
hope OF doing, they would be
better off than being regi-
mented into college entrance
classes where on graduation
they must either 90 TO college
or become a drag on the labor
market because they have no
