a good thing for any corpora
ton to follow. When we as in
dividualS are citizens in a COM
munity, we can exercise what
small influence we may have as
citizens. But for a corporation
to attempt to exert any kind of
economic compulsion to achieve
a particular end in the social
areas seems to me to be quite
beyond what a corporation
should do, and l would say also
quite beyond what a corporation
can do.
Question: Do you think that
you have done all that you
should do or can do? And you
reject the criticism, do you
not?
"Mr. Blough: l would put it
this way: That we have fulfilled
our responsibility in the Bir-
mingham area - whatever re-
Sponsibility we have as a cor
poration or as individuals work
ing with a corporation, because,
after all, a corporation is no
thing but individuals"
Then came President Ken
nedy's news conference on
Thursday, October 81:
Question: The United States
Steel Corporation has rejected
the idea that it should use eco
nonic pressure in an effort to
improve race relations in Biz
mingham, Ala. Do you have any
comment on that position, and
do you have any counsel for
management and labor in gen.
eral as to their social response
bility in the areas Of tension
of this kind?
"The President: Actually, MI.
Blough has been somewhat help
full in one or two cases that I
can think of in Birmingham. I
don't think he should narrowly
interpret his responsibility for
the future. That is a very in
fluential company in Birming-
ham, and he wants to see that
city prosper, as do we all. OBJ
viously, the federal government
cannot solve this matter. So that
business has a responsibility -
labor and, Of course, every citi-
zen. So / would think that parti-

cularly a company which is as
influential as United States
Steel in Birmingham, / would
hope would use its influence on
the side or comfy between
the races.
"Otherwise, the future of Biz
mingham, of course, is not as
happy as we hope it would be.
In other words, it can't be de-
cided - this matter - in Wash
ington. 1t has to be decided by
citizens everywhere. Blough is
an influential citizen. / am sure
he will do the best he can"
There isn't a word in that re-
ply with which Mr.. Blough
would probably disagree, be-
cause the President was OBJ
viously talking about the Gin
fluence'' Of the company officers
as individuals, while the news
man who asked the question at
the same press conference was
inquiring about economic pres
sure" 1t was the latter concept
which the head of the steel cor
poration had rejected" at his
own news conference.
There's a big difference be-
tween what businessmen say as
individuals in discussions in
community meetings and what
they are being asked to do by
some persons - namely, to sell
to or buy from only the COM
panies which conform to one
viewpoint on "civil rights"
To some readers it might APP
pear that President Kennedy
feels that the influence Of in
dividual businessmen properly
exerted is not enough, and that
economic pressure is a respon-
Sibility of all corporations and
businesses and firms. A clarifi-
cation by the White House could
be helpful in these days when,
to diminish racial discrimina-
ton, more can be accomplished
by the processes of reason than
by compulsion.

big difference between what cor
poration executives can readily
do as individuals to promote
good race relations in a COM
munity and what they hesitate
to do by way of economic
pressure" in acting and speak
ing for their company in its deal
ings with other businesses and
the buying public.
This difference - which is Of
transcendent Importance to
every corporation and business
firm in the country = wasn't
made clear at President Ken
nedy's press conference last
Thursday. Nor was it set forth
clearly in the newspaper re-
ports which the President may
have previously read about the
news conference which Roger
Blough, chairman of the U. S.
Steel Corporation, held last
Tuesday in New York City.
1t would be far better if ques-
tons like these were submitted
in writing and the answers pre-
pared in advance for further in
quiry and comment in inn
promptu manner at the White
House press conference.
AS a consequence of the pre-
sent practice, the public has
often been misled. The U. S.
Steel Corporation, for instance,
actually employs, in its Bir-
mingham, Ala, division, Ne
groes numbering more than 80
per cent of its labor force there.
Also, Arthur Wiebel, the top
executive of the company in
Birmingham, has participated
actively - as an individual -
in the work of a bi-racial COM
mission in the city for several
years and recommended as far
back as 1851 that Negroes be
employed in the police force.
He has spent many a day out
side his office working with BIZ
racial commissions and was
himself a trustee from 1858 to
1861 at TuSkegee University, A
Negro college in Alabama Of
national prominence.
Here is the verbatim record Of
what Mr.. Blough said at his
news conference last Tuesday,
October %:
"Mr. Wiebel has been very
helpful in the community and
has tried to carry out our over
all u. S. Steel policy of being
a good citizen in the community
in which we live. Now, the cri-
ticism that U. S. Steel hasn't
used what some people refer
to as economic influence-which
| presume to mean some kind
of economic force to bring about
some kind of change is, I
think, an improper matter on
which to criticize MIR. Wiebel or
U. S. Steel. ! think / would have
to take considerable time to

briefly I'd like to say this: That

be a wise thing for U. S. Steel
to be other than a good citizen
in the community, or to attempt
to have its ideas Of what is right
for that community enforced
upon that community by some
sort of economic means.

sonally, and, ! am sure, it is
repugnant to my fellow officers

Eliminate Accident
Hazards In Barn Now

"As the barn and workshop
become the principal work Gen.
terS for winter farm chores, the
time is at hand for a thorough
check of hazards in the barn, .
says Ed Ralph, Sussex Assoc,
County Agent. "Not only should
dangers be spotted, but they
should be eliminated" he added.
National Safety Council sur
veys show that many needless
accidents, some of them of a
serious nature, can be prevented
by attention to safety in the barn.
Ladders and stairways should
be in good repair and free from
hay or other refuse. Loft doors
and the feed and hay chutes
should be well protected. Then,
too, many barn floors are allowed
to get out of repair. Cracked,
rough floors with missing boards
should be repaired.
Mr.. Ralph pointed out that now
is the time to do some barn
cleaning. Setting things in order
will not only facilitate doing
chores but will also eliminate
hazards caused by feed, tools,
feed carts or other obstacles in
work areas.
Adequate light also is an i'm
portant safety feature in the barn.
Dangerous corners and work
areas should receive extra light
ing.
A fire extinguisher should be
handy if gasoline and other COM
bustible materials are used in
side. A small extinguisher used
soon enough can often prevent a
fire from spreading and prevent
a considerable amount of damage.
Proper ventilation in areas
where tractors or other engines
are operated inside buildings is
of the utmost Importance in order
to insure against the exhaust
fumes overcoming anyone who
might be in the confined area,
Ralph said.

New Marketing
Technique
Freeze-Drying:

Perishable food products ca
now be stored at room tempera
lures up to two years withou
refrigeration due to a preserv.
ing process called freeze drying
Though drying is perhaps tht
Oldest system Of preserving food
the results of early efforts were
not very appealing until this nev
process was developed.
In fact, promoters of freeze.
drying claim that foods can be
restored to very closely theil
normal appearance and taste by
simply rehydrating or replacing
water originally removed in the
drying process.
Freeze-dried foods now on the
market include beef cubes anC
beef steaks, ham, hamburger
pork chops, chicken, eggs, crab,
shrimp, asparagus, green beans,
peas and mushrooms. All are
perishable products and normal
ly require refrigeration. The
foods are sealed in packages SC
that oxygen and moisture is ex-
cluded.
In addition to the refrigera-
tion advantage, the new process
allows a tremendous reduction
of weight and bulk in shipping
The process removes water
which makes up about 90per cent
of the weight of most food items.
For example: 100 pounds OF
fresh and boned chickens weigh
only 20 pounds when dried, and
100 pounds of mushrooms are re-
duced to ii pounds.
The Armed Forces sees in the
process an opportunity to sup
ply troops in the field with good
tasting rations without the prob
lens of refrigeration and weight.
Large quantities could be stock
piled in limited space for emer-
gency civil defense use. World
markets could be expanded since
refrigeration is practically un-
known in many parts of the world
known in many parts of the world.
Use by space travellers is GER
tainly another advantage.
The process also has several
disadvantages. In their dried
form, they do not look very ap-
pealing. However, natural color,
odor and appearance return when
reconstructed with water. This
should not be confused with the
dried food process common dur
ing World War II.
In addition, the process is still
costly. Because the process is
new and the market still limited,
processing plants and facilities
are small and inefficient. If the
demand for freeze dried food
grows, costs can be reduced SUBJ
stantially. Those working on the
process are confident that the
idea will catch on and make a
major contribution to the market
ing of farm products.

''Free Advice"
SESSIONS AT University
Two "free advice, sessions on

Two "free advice' sessions on
furniture and interior decorat-
ing will be featured at Farm
and Home Week at the Univer-
sity of Delaware on Tuesday,
February 5.
Mrs. Gemma Usher, interior
decorator for Strawbridge and
Clothier, Wilmington, will pre-
sent the morning program, ex-
planning how furniture and ac-
cessorieS can be used to best
advantage in a room. She will
show a variety of new fabrics
and give suggestions on how they
might be used in combination
with furniture already in the
home. Mrs. Usher's theory is
that, unlike the popular concep-
tion of decorating, it is not
necessary to start with every
thing new in order to arrange
a home tastefully and com
fortably.
The evening program will fea-
ture Emil Benarcik Of Your
Home, Inc, Wilmington, who will
explain how to finish unpainted
furniture and how to refinish
older furniture to blend with
pieces already being used in a
room. His suggestions will also
include ways to change furniture
by using different legs, knobs or
other accessories.
Both programs are designed to
help the homemaker use the
pieces of furniture she already
has to their best advantage.
Another Farm and Home Week
feature planned for Delaware
women is a series of discussions
on home gardening and landscap-
ing, to be held on Wednesday,
February 6.
"Nature'S Garden Wonders:
Wild Flowers" will be discussed
in the afternoon by Albert F. w.
Wick, Jr., of Vick's Wildgardens,
Inc, Gladwyne, Pennsylvania,
who will show color slides of
many wild flowers which may be
used to add interest and beauty
to home gardens.
Two landscape specialists
from Rutgers University will dis
cuss home landscaping problems
and give advice to home owners
at the evening program. Henry
w. Indyk will explain how to
establish and maintain a good
lawn, and Raymond P. Korbobo
will show many ways to use trees
and shrubs in lsndscaping homes.
A question and answer period will
be included in the sessions.
In addition, a number Of other
have been scheduled
for the three-day Farm and Home
Week event which will interest
both farm and city women. Among
them are sessions on party Civ
ing and on keeping fit the easy
way. A triple fashion revue is
also planned, showing styles worn
through 5000 years Of history,
fashions made by Delaware wom-
en- and new ideas for spring
fabrics and styles.
The public is invited to attend
any or all of these sessions,
February 5 through 2, without
charge. The meetings will be held
at the University Of Delaware's
Agricultural Hall, Newark.

New System On Reading Is Easy

We've all heard by now hoy
easy 1t is to learn to read :.
especially if we try this new
system or that new device.
Well, it just isn't so, accord.
ing to a new pamphlet published
by the National Education AS.
sociation especially to help par
ents better understand how their
children learn to read in school.
Called 'tYour Child and Reading
the pamphlet is written by six
recognized experts and cuts
through the current maze of mis-
information about reading.
Reading is no simple task,
the pamphlet points out, for ii
involves more than just recog-
nizing words. The words must
also be understood and inter-
preted. The reader must be able
to see through the phony argu-
ments. He must be able to read
between the lines for the hidden
meanings. Sometimes he has to
hunt through rapidly for key
ideas, or react to the beauty
of the writing. So reading, in
stead of a simple task, is one
that involves complicated CO.
ordination between the eyes and
brain.
The authors say modern teach
methods, despite criticism, have
been proven more effective in
teaching children to read than

Know The Score

Putting lime or fertilizer on
your land without having a soil
test to show you how much OF
what should go where is playing
a guessing game that may or
may not pay off, says Associate
County Agent, Ed Ralph.
On your hay fields, for ex-
ample, Mr.. Ralph says you can
get four or five tons Of hay, or
hay equivalent of grass silage
by applying the right amounts
and proportions of fertilizer.
Be sure to indicate the propor-
tion of legumes and grasses in
the mixture form. This is i'm
portant because the fertilizer
recommendation Is based on the
amount of legumeS or grasses In
the hay or pasture mixture. In
general, the higher the proper
tion Of grasses the higher the
nitrogen requirement.
Five years of research In Del
aware have shown a return of
two pounds Of crude protein for
each pound of nitrogen applied
to grasses. Other tests in Pen
nsylvania last summer showed
that 100 pounds of actual nitrogen
applied In March gave yield in
creases of 3400 to $500 pounds
of dry hay per acre.
In soybean production through
out Sussex County, several acres
had reduced yields because of
potash deficiency, lowph or other
nutrient unbalances. Most of this
trouble could also have beenpre-
vented If the fertilizer recon-
mendations had been followed.
Ralph says you can get some
detailed advice on soil sampling
along with the how's where's and
why's of soil sampling by writing
or calling him and asking for a
bulletin called, 'Don't Guess,
Have Your Soil Tested". This
bulletin is the result of a joint
effort of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Services of Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sery, New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Virginia and West
Virginia.

characteristics common to al

maturity by all but man. Mans
skeletal structure, his ten fingers

face and certain features of his
nervous system are facts that
support this thesis, Duncan says.
He suggests further that mans
worship Of so-called maturity is
illogical, pointing out analogous

$AK53
South West North East
/ nj Pass 3NT All Pass
Opening lead: King Of spades.
When this hand was played in
a recent par contest, most de-
clarers failed to make a lay
down game at no-trump. They
didn't watch the spots.
In most cases South refused
the spade trick until forced to
take it. Then he took the ace
and queen of diamonds and
went back to dummy with a
heart to try the king of dia-
mondS.
When the diamonds failed to
break, South could develop only
eight tricks - one spade, two
hearts, three diamonds and two
clubs.
Actually Broke
The diamonds actually broke
favorably, but these delcarers
didn't notice it. West dropped
the 10 of diamonds on the ace
and the nine Of diamonds on
the queen.
On noticing this, South should
overtake the queen of diamonds
with dummy's king. It would
then be simple to return the
eight of diamonds to force out
the jack. Dummy would get
back with the king of hearts
to cash the seven and the four
of diamonds.
There was no danger In this
plan since West could get only
three spade tricks and a dia-
mond even if he had the jack
of diamonds. If it turned out
that West had started with
J-1O-9 of diamonds, the recon-
mended play would cost one
trick-but only an unimportant
Overtrick. South should gladly
give up his chance for the
tenth trick to make sure Of his
ninth trick.
