If you are planning to remodel, /,
or are still scanning blueprints
of your home-to-be, it's not too
late to make changes that will
reduce or eliminate fire hazards,
she points out.
Plaster, gypsum and plaster
board or wall boards that have
been treated to retard fire are
best for wall and ceiling use. Be-
ware of pressed paperboard, un-
treated fiberboard and plywood
panels which have been pre-
finished with highly f1ammable
lacquers. These are highly COM
busttble and you should avoid
them, Miss Morris says.
Available today are new wood
and paint products which act to
Slow down fire and reduce its
damage. Both of these are more
Expensive than similar untreated
products, but they are like an
extra insurance policy in terms
of safety.
The wood has been pressur
impregnated with chemicals
which react to heat at a lower
Temperature than 1t takes to burn
the wood. These chemicals give
off water vapor and non-burning
gases, causing an insulating char
to form on the woods surface.
Be sure to look for the Under
writer's Laboratories seal on
these threated woods, says Miss
Morris.
Certain Of the treated paints
also give off protective vapors.
Others swell and form an insul-
ated coating.
Safe materials for roofs in
clude asphalt shingles or metal,
tile or slate that reSists showers

A large window or door leading
to the outside is a must for every
room, and especially In bed
rooms. Unfortunate tragedies
have occurred In modern homes
with high, small windows when
occupants couldn't get out and
firemen couldn't get in. Minimal
size is "a by 80 inches, set low
enough to permit escape in case
of fire. Larger windows are bet
ter.
Without doors to act as bar
riers, fire races through open
areas and can turn a house into
a match box In moments. Most
of the danger In fires is from
being overcome by smoke and
hot gases. All bedrooms should
have substantial doors. When kept
closed at night, they are the
greatest protection In a fire.

Americans Enjoy
Words Best Milk

'fThe best milk In the world is
a product American families have
enjoyed for many years." says
w. R. Hesseltine, extension
dairyman at the University OF
Delaware, 'but foreign visitors
IN the United States usually dis
like our milk because they have
never tasted milk as 1t should
be clean, fresh and cold"
When milk does have an easily
identifiable f'off-flavor" there is
something wrong with 1t, and milk
professors and producers are
quick to correct the problem =
usually before the consumer gets
a chance to notice it, Hesseltine
says.
One off-flavor problem that
often haunts the milk industry at
this time Of year a slight
metallic or cardboard taste is
definitely a compliment, accord
ing to Hesseltine. In the trade,
this Is referred to as an oxidized
flavor and 1t means that the milk
Is so rres OF bacterial organisms
that there aren't enough left to
use up the small amounts of
oxygen In the milk.
Cooper and its alloys which
are sometimes used in process
ing equipment serve as catalysts
In causing the milk to chemically
absorb oxygen, making the metal
lie taste, Hesseltine explains.
However, in the summer the Off
flavor does not exist, since pas
ture feeds comprising the main
summer diet of dairy cattle con-
tain anti-oxidants which prevent
the absorption of oxygen.
Special care Is taken by pro-
ducers and retail professors to
avoid off-flavors in milk, but the
housewife can also do her part,
Hesseltine says. Direct sunlight
also causes the metallic off-taste
to develop, so Hesseltine advises
homemakers to bring their milk
I'm the house as soon rs possible
after the milk man ar rtves.

Researchers Study
Monday DiseasesI

MONDAY DISEASES mys-
terious maladies striking in
dustrial workers, are being
closely examined bypublic health
researchers at the University OF
Michigan. The flu-like symptoms
chills, fever, severe coughing
attacks peak on Monday, abate
by Wednesday and repeat them
selves the following Monday.
Fumes from zinc, copper and
magnesium seem to be the most
common causative agents. A
complicating factor is that the
body's normal mechanisms
against disease somehow con-
tribute to the illness, the re-
searchers say.
ATOMIC REACTORS are
operating in Al countries, re-
ports the Atomic Energy Com
mission. OF 518 reactors listed,
the agency says, 286 are in the
u. S., 80 each in Britain and
the USSR, 95 in Europe and the
balance scattered throughout the
rest Of the world. +. .CALORIE-
CONSCIOUS ice cream eaters
are promised their favorite
frozen treat In a new form with
richer taste but fewer calories.
A low-temperature process de-
veloped by Votator produces a
minimum butterfat content ice
cream which the company says
tastes the same as the premium,
|high-fat conventionally frozen
product. The process was re-
Gently placed incommercial pro-

LUNAR SPECIALISTS Of the
Geological Survey in Washington,
ID. G. report that geologic
mapping Of approximately 100,-

Eventually they hope to map 20
million square miles, about equal

Apparently there is no such thing
as ''pure air" anywhere on earth.

Use 3 Wuy Test
On Buying Hay

The prolonged dry weather is
causing more and more farmers
to begin considering the pur-
chase of a hay supply, according
to VIM. H. Henderson county
Agent. If the dry weather con-
tinues, he says supplemental hay
feeding will become necessary
for producing dairy herds, grow
ing livestock, and even those who
normally go through the summer
on just pasture.
There is no point In allowing
livestock to walk over burned
pasture In search Of something to
eat the agent says. They would
be much better off in the shade
with some supplemental feed.
II you're planning to buy hay
there are some things to watch
for the agent warns. Visual In
spection doesn't tell what's in
side a bale of hay.
He challenge hay buyers tc
become "Three T" purchasers.
He explains the three T formula
this way:
The first T is for test. II a
ton Of hay testing 6percent crude
protein Is purchased, 500 pounds
Of cottonseed meal will have tc
be fed with 1t to make 1t equal
the protein in ton Of hay test
ing Is percent protein. ms gooc
business, says Henderson, to ash
the hay seller for an analysis o.
his product.
The second T is the time :
time the hay was cut. Hay cut
early can be 65 percent digest
fble but the same hay cut at {
late stage of maturity may have
dropped to so percent or lower
This is loss Of 800 pounds
of digestfble nutrients. In a grain
bag this would cost you $12 :
SIS reason enough to know whel
the hay was cut.
The third T stands for ton, the
usual weight basis on which ha,
Is bought. One dollar for 81
pound bale Of hay equals So,
a ton, but a dollar for a Al
pound bale equals $50 per ton
The weight Of the individual ball
Of hay thus Is very important
Buy by weight instead Of tn,
bale.
The 3 T hay buyer, concludes
Henderson, knows what he hal
bought, and how much.

Vacation Survey
Goodyear Makes

The favorite vacation spots in
| the Middle Atlantic States are
the New Jersey shore and Wash
ington, D. c., according to a
survey conducted by The Good
wear Tire & Rubber Company.
The survey showed that about
go per cent Of the persons living
in Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey, New York, pennsylvania
and the District Of Columbia will
spend their pleasure time in the
two areas, with Pennsylvania
third in popularity.
The poll also reveals that
American vacationers will aver
age 1,764 miles and spend $514
on their vacations this year.
The averages are raised by in
clusion of those taking cross
| country trips and those travel
ing to foreign lands.
The national travel budget, al
ready estimated at $50 billion
annually, will be further ex-
panded this year because 20 pei
cent more persons plan Vaca-
tion trips than in 1862.
Peak months for taking vaca-
tions are July (31 per cent?.
August (26 per cent? and June
N per cent?. Biggest weeks
will be those Of August A anc
July IA.
The South is the nation's mos
popular vacation area. Thirty
one per cent Of those surveyed
said they would take their vaca-
tions there. The Midwest Is
second in vacation appeal, at
tracing 18 per cent. Next come
New England, the Southwest and
the Rocky Mountain States witt
nine per cent each; the Middle
Atlantic States with seven pei
cent, and the West Coast with
six per cent. Foreign travel will
account for II per cent with
Canada receiving seven per cent
Of that figure.
In individual state popularity,
Colorado ranks first, chosen by
8.5 per cent, Michigan is second
with seven per cent and
Florida's 6.8 per cent gives II
third place.
Sightseeing will be the vaca-
tioning aim Of "A per cent OF
the country's pleasure travellers.
Swimming or boating will oc-
cupy "A per cent, fishing 81 per
cent and camping 10 per cent.
Of the 80 per cent in the sur
vey who said they would vaca-
tion this year, 92.5 per cent
plan to drive. This is a rs
per cent increase in vacation
by auto over last year.
Motels will furnish 54 per
cent Of the vacationers' hous-
ing, with hotels and campsites
accommodating IS per cent and
10 per cent respectively.
Food will take the biggest bite
in the average vacation budget
Of $514, which breaks down this
way:
Food 31.1 per cent, $159.85.
Housing 20 per cent,
$149.06.
Transportation 26 per cent,
|$133.65.
Entertainment 1879 per cent,
|$71 "A.
The Goodyear survey covered
the 48 continental states and
was distributed in proportion to
|the percentage Of national auto
registrations in each state.

Speaking OF Insects

There are over forty species
of mosquitoes In Delaware, but
most Of them don't annoy people.
Moreover, there Is one, the salt
marsh mosquito, which is more
OF pest than all the others put
together. This Is the one which
swarms out of the salt marshes
of Delaware by the millions each
summer to plague the resort
areas as well as cities such as
Dover.
Like all other mosquitoes, the
salt marsh mosquito spends part
of its life in water. This comes
about in the following way. A
female salt marsh mosquito re-
turns to the marshes after hav-
ing gotten meal Of blood, per-
haps from you. She lays many
eggs, not in or on water, but on
mud or sod In the marshlands.
Sometimes these spots remain
dry for days or weeks, and II
such is the case, the eggs don't
hatch. Neither do they die. Even
tually, a high tide will flood the
marshes, and the eggs float. In
a few hours most Of them hatch
producing tiny mosquito larvae
called wigglers. The wigglers
live for a few days In the water,
feeding and growing. During hot
spell they can complete their
wiggler stage In about seven days.
They then change to pupae or
tumblers. About three days later
the adult mosquitoes emerge
from these tumblers. They rest
for a short time In the grass and
brush along the edge Of the marsh.
Millions upon millions Of theses
pests may congregate In such
areas making life nearls unbear
able TO man and anirUals. When
conditions are Just right, they
begin flying, sometimes covering
as much as 10 or more miles.
They descend In hordes on cities
and fields. Workers are driven
from fields and homeowners from
their yards. There is no way to
cope with such astronomical
numbers except to apply an In
secticide over large areas. For
tunately mosquitoes are not as
tough as some insects. We can
kill this mosquito with about ]
ounce Of insecticide per acre. BY
comparison, the, European corn
borer seems indestructfble; It
takes one pound of the insecticide
per acre to kill the corn borer.
Insecticides aren't the only
tools we have to fight the salt
marsh mosquito. Where there
are drainage bitches, any floating
eggs will be drawn down the
bitches and out into the bay where
mosquito wigglers cannot exist.
Another way to thwart this pest
Is to do Just the opposite i'm
pound the marshes and keep the
area flooded SO that the females
can't find sod or mud for egg
laying. t4- a-..u. 4te i5t
Through the fine cooperation of
the State Game and Fish Conn
missioners, the State Highway
Department and the Entomology
Department at the University Of
Delaware, there Is good
example Of this type of control
near Little Creek. Here a marsh
which formerly produced mil
lions Of salt marsh mosquitoes
and practically no wildlife each
summer, now produces none of
these mosquitoes, and is a Wild
life paradise.
II you must be outside when
mosquitoes are after your blood,
use a repellent. One Of the most
effective ones Is called DEET.
To be certain you have this pro-
duct look at the list Of active
ingredients 1t should read
"diethyl toluamide".
