Fair Deduction Rules

Two things about the new contract
between the steel industry and the Unit
ed Steelworkers Of America are of par
ticular interest. One is the terms Of the
agreement, which responsibility takes
into account the competitive troubles of
steel The other, and in some respects
more important, thing about the con-
tract is the way in which agreement
was reached.
This time around there was not even
a hint of strike threat; there was no
contract termination date edging ever
closer while negotiators feverishly
sought to hammer out settlement
These elements so common to previous
negotiations were conspicuously absent
Milford chronicle., 1963-08-30

The union did not move, as it was en-
titled to do Oh May /, to reopen the ex-
isting agreements and thus pave the
way for strike within 80 days
This is not to say that there was no
dissensiOn. Agreement on no wage IN
crease but package including 13-week
vacations every five years did not come
without some vigorous airing Of view
points. The difference is that negoti-
alton Of an agreement resulted from
many months Of more or less calm dis
cussion BY the Human Relations Com
mittee of labor and management. Hope
fully, this sets new and far better pat
tern for future negotiations in this and
other major industries.

The Green Thumb

Corn harvesting time Is here
for the early birds who are
Smelling and drying their corn.
Although most of you corn grow
ers are not ready to harvest yet,
your equipment should be. That's
right you should be checking
over your pickers, picker-sheu-
ers, conveyors, Especially the
motors) grain wagons and all
other equipment needed for the
harvest that is right around the
corner.
The next week or so is the
time to get those old odd Jobs
caught up because when corn
harvest starts, things will be a
lot buster. Then Of course, soy
bean harvest will not be too far
behind. So In addition to praying
for rain, also be getting ready for
the harvest.
Grain storage facilities also
need to be In first class condition
before harvesting begins. Bins
should be cleaned thoroughly and
treated with a residual spray
before attempting to store grain.
All old grain, trash, feed sacks,
and debris that furnish living
quarters for insects should be
removed. Ceilings and walls
should be swept down thoroughly
and a vacuum cleaner used to
clean cracks. A good clean up job
around the outside of the bins
will also help to reduce the num-
her of insects.
Walls should be sprayed with
methoxychlor or malathion
premium grade. }. A grain protec-
tant can be added to the grain as
1t is placed in the bin. A COM
merical pyrethrum product Is
available for this purpose. ALI
chemicals should be used accord
ing to the manufacturers recon-
mendationS.
Screen out rats, mice andbtrds
as they can take a heavy toll In
the grain bin.
The less moisture present In
the grain, the less attractive 1t is
to insects, moles and bacteria.
Only clean, sound grain with a
moisture content of 14percent or
less should be stored.

In recent years it has been suggested,
20 far without results, that a Depart
ment of Consumers be established at
the cabinet-level. Its purpose would be
to protect all Of US helpless innocents
from the rapacity Of ruthless produc-
ers Of just about everything.
we already have pure food and drug
laws, federal trade commission, anti
trust laws, and countless laws, boards
and commissions to protect consumers,
if laws are enforced. About the last
thing we need now is another multi
million dollar federal agency to slow
down incentive and production

and Manufacturers Association state

Picture this: You have asked
1860 families for Delmarvelous
Chicken. About 1900 came last
year, SO you guess that 1000 will
be present this year. But just to
be safe you get ready for 27OO.
And then over 1000 people show
up at the appointed time. Some
body gets short rations of course.
This was the dilemma faced
by the Delaware Rural Electric
Cooperative directors last week
at the Harrington fair grounds.
To their great credit, they did the
very best they could; but were
unable to emulate the story of the
loaVeS and fishes.
The occasion was the annual
meeting. Farm electric service
in Delaware accounts for $3.50 Of
the business of the cooperative.
Farmers now use more than five
times the electric current they
used twenty years ago, and unit
costs have been reduced in half
during the same period.
Two directors told me that
major credit for this continued
growth is due w. F. Spence, the
general manager. A visit to the
REA offices at Greenwood, such
as provided to our ten Pakistan
farm leaders visiting in Del
aware, confirms this feeling.

Ants will remain a problem
from now till cold weather. Prop
er treatment of baseboards, win
dow sills, and other areas where
ants are noticed will prevent
them from invading homes.
To stop ants from invading the
home, we suggest using house
hold-type spray containing 2 per
cent chlordane, III per cent lin
dane, or 1/2 per cent dieldrin.
A 5 percent chlordane dust may
also be used. The insecticide
should be applied at weekly in
tervals until the ants disappear.
Ant bats are also available
for the home. Many of these con-
tain poisons and should be used
with caution. Read the label care
fully before using.
Ants are social insects which
live in colonies. Their nests may
be found in the soil near the foun-
dation Of the house, under side

Bubson Discusses:
WORTHLESS" STOCKS

Babson Park, Mass, August
20. Every now and again Ireceive
a spate Of questions from read
ers about what to do with old and
apparently worthless stock GER
tificates that have been found
around the house. How can they
be sure, they want to know,
whether or not these stocks have
any value at all?
FORTUNES MAY BE
UNCOVERED
My first advice to such people
is not to let go of such invest
ments for any amount until they
check every possible source of
Information about the companies
involved. remember some years
ago that Wall Street banker
asked me II would help him get
some worthless" stocks from
readers Of my column for a few
pennies per certificate (not per
share). Looking into the situation.
l found that 49 out of so GER
tiicates bought by this broker
turned out to be actually worth
less, BUT one out of every so
might be worth as much as
ST. 900. This usually was a GER
tificate needed By a company to
dissolve or consolidate with
out any outstanding obligations or
complications.
While I am In no position, of
course, to tell my readers ex-
actly what to do In such situations
still insist that you should not
throw away any certificate Just
because some member Of the
family or some other srhelpful,
person says 1t Is valueless. Prob
ably the best bet Is to show It
to your regular banker. He will
know how to go about checking
on the current value, If any. of
your certificates.

We have carried with US this
week the burden of grief for the
passing Of a loved one, Mrs.
Huey Jackson Of Seaford. Her
actual relationship was that Of
a Cousins wife, but to me she
was dear fMom-Dora", and I
loved her with all my heart. Ever
since l came into the family as
a bride, she was like second
mother to me. Through the years
to come, how l shall long to see
her coming up my walk. Her
laughter and her love enriched my
life.
AS If life wasn't complicated
enough around here with chick
ems, cats and dogs, Ellen gets a
present Of two hamsters. The
question Of a suitable dwelling
place arose Immediately. A few
years ago, when we had hamsters
our one cat paid them no mind,
and Mr.. Pancho was content to
sit by the hour and just admire,
SO we kept them on the counter
top In the utility room. The two
cats we have now quickly decided
they we're mice, and they knew
what to do about that. They would
catch them for Mama. And the
book says that sometimes
hamsters die Of heart attacks
just from being frightened Of
cats. We keep them In the bath
room and everyone has to be
conditioned TO shut the door. This,
after years Of training to Leave
the Door Open, so we'1l know its
available. Meanwhile the cute
tiny creatures go right on turning
their exercise wheels and eating
their roughage completely un-
aware that there is any problem
at all. They have not been named
and are currently referred to as
fEThe Hamsters". once knew a
family In which the two spinster
daughters were always referred
to as The Sisters. Lots Of people
never knew they had names like
Faith and Belinda.
Our old barn which has been
leaning for some time has finally
gone down with the help ofus and
our good neighbor, Harry

satisfying crashes as 1t fell.

A small bonfire each evening Is
taking away the debris. Ellen
and her friends decided that all
those beautiful red-hot Goals
shouldn't go to waste, so one
evening they cooked hot dogs, and
roasted marshmallows and slap
ped mosquitoes. When the food
ran out and the mosquitoes got
the upper hand, they came bounc-
ing in for iced drinks around the
breakfast bar.
Our local Lions Club are bar
becuing chicken along the highway
today. Pappy Jake and Emerson
Keim just made a hurried trip
home for two trestleS and two
sheets of plywood to make a
quick table. They yelled for me
to find something to use for a
cover. In the drawer where we
keep picnic supplies, I found a
huge blue and white checked
tablecloth. II had developed a
worn spot but was fine for out Of
doors. Having sent the King Of
Beasts on his way, this old
Lioness will sweep out the den.
