July Driest Month Ever; HeatContinues

August Makes Debut With Mercury at 98; Rain Badly Needed

The thermometer boiled to a tea-high of lOZ degree. T ue.d .y

u a .earing Augu.l heat wave took hold of Hight.lown and vicinity. It ofpea the proviou. high of 101 re-

corded on July 22 acwrdmg to Co- ^rative Weather Observer James R, Pickering.

August made its debut on a new wave of heat and humidity Monday

liily made its exit lioldmg the record as the driest and one o f the hottest months on tlie record books here.

Coopcraitve Weallier Observer lames K. Pickering said the month ms the driest since records were started here in 1890. A rnere .13 of an inch of rain was recorded for the 31.day period. The previous 1 ^ was 45 registered in July 1944,

. Strangely enough the corresponding period a year later came up with 9,94 inches of precipitation. The top wet month was in 1897 when 12.19 was recorded.

Pickering's report made it official, but the news came as no surprise to residents of the area who wilted and gasped during the montli-loiig spell of heat and drought.

A scorching high temperature of 98 degrees ushered in August and the humidity was at a muggy level. Part of the weekend was almost ‘cold as the mercury dipped into the 70’s Friday and Saturday.

Use Care in Handling Road Accident Victims

The Keystone Automobile Club, uiKin request of hospital authorities, lias reissued a bulletin urging mo­torists who are inexperienced in first aid" methods to be extremely

careful in the handling of highway accident victims.

Well-intentioned motorists, it is pointed out, often aggravate injuries in their laudable but unskilled efforts to render assistance.

The best practice, according to medical authorities, is, in the case of brokcri bones, to make the patient as comfortable as possible at the scene of the accident and await the arrival of doctor or ambulance. In cases of bleeding, the "Good Sa­maritans” should apply a tourniquet before taking a patient to a hos­pital.

“The natural impulse of those who

are first to reach highway accident victims is to get the patients to a hospital or doctor with utmost haste," said Edward P. Curran, safety director of the club. "How­ever, the well-intentioned motorist may, by inexperienced handling, change a simple fracture of arm or leg into a more serious injury. In frenzied haste to reach doctor or hospital, improvised ambulances fre­quently are involved in accidents through disregard o f traffic regula­tions, in some cases causing addi­tional injury or even death to the original victims.

"it is important, therefore, that utmost care be taken both in the handling of the injured and transporting them from the scene of accident. Lives can be saved and injuries minimized if proper pre cautions are observed.”

Truck Drivers Warned On Spilling of Loads

State Police and motor vehicle inspectors have been ordered by Attorney General Richman to is­sue summonses to drivers of trucks spilling their loads on the highways.

The campaign is the result from motorist complaints and the threat to traffic safety created by such trucks. In some cases, Richman said, passing vehicles have been damaged and pedestrians injured by falling objects.

Loading a truck in a manner resulting in the contents spilling is punishable by a fine of $50, 10 days in jail, or both.

'Lawn SprinklingRoger K. Bentley, chairman of

the Borough water committee, to- rcauested residents to refrain

from spnnklTng lawns or using TTiT healS agencies "wTI “ sTarT geUmg^local water supply for any purpose that is not absolutely necessary due to the prolonged dry spell that has gripped the community.

The present rainfall shortage was termed a "severe drought" Saturday by Conservation Commissioner Jo­seph E. McLean and the water sit­uation in the state is causing seri­ous concern. A related story on this can be found elsewhere on this page.

Ivasi month’s broiling weather also established a record for the number of days in any one month with tem­peratures at 90 or higher. The mer­cury climbed above 90 degrees on 20 days, as compared to a normal of six or seven days for the month.

The peak temperature was reach­ed July 22 when 101 degrees was reported. A couple of 99s were also thrown in one each side of the 101. However, the last three days of the month were marked by more mod­erate temperatures.

Pickering said the last good rain in this area came on June 25 when nearly a half inch was registered. The normal for July is 4,84, usually the top month o f the year in the rain making department.

Pickering added that the total rainfall for the first seven months is about nine inches below normal.

Weekend temperature readings were: Thursday, 91 maximum, 71 minimum; Friday, 75-66; Saturday, 74-63; Sunday, 87-66; Monday, 9^ 70; Tuesday, 102-75.

The Public Health Service an­nounced it has allocated enough for BR),000 shots. That amount will be­come available as soon as individual states report how much iS to go to health agencies and how much to physicians.

More vaccine is slated to be ap portioned as it is manufactured and cleared for use.

The distribution is the first under the department’s voluntary program for placing the vaccine where it is most needed, Except for limited supplies which moved into comnier cial channels last April, the vaccine is the first to go to private physi

Driver Pays $135 On Two Counts

Two motor vehicle violations cost a Robbinsville man $135 Monday when he was hailed before Magis­trate Barclay P. Malsbury of Allen­town in local court. Malsbury was sitting in for Judge Samuel Bard who is on vacation.

William T. Porter was fined $105 for driving while on the revoked list and $30 on a hit and run charge. According to Patrolman Leonard White the Robbinsville resident struck the vehicle of W . O. Young- nickel of Fitchburg, Mass, on Mer­cer street Saturday and left the scene. Damage to YoungnickeTs car was slight. . . '

A 30-day jail term was handed Willie Smith of Syracuse, N.Y., for being unable to give a good account of himself. He was prowling around and trespassing on South street and Mercer street property Sunday when he was halted by a resident and held for police.

Major C. Wilson of Cranbury was sentenced to jail for 15 days for being drunk on Main street Satur day.

Farmingdale Poultryman Elevated to Top Post; Wescott Vice President

The first official road map of New Jersey is out and is quite different from the conventional liighway guide. The last was issued in 19t6.

The motorist will find that he will not have to unfold a single sheet that will be more than a yard long and awkward to handle in the front seat ox a car.

Henry D. Rapp Jr., Farmingdale poultryman, was elected president of the State Board of Agriculture for 1955-56 at the organization meet­ing of the board recently. Lloyd B. Wescott, Clinton dairyman, was elected vice president.

Rapp and Wescott succeed Carle- ton E. Heritage, Richwood fruit grower, and Walter M. Ritchie, Rahway landscape nurseryman, re­spectively. Both retiring members completed four-year tenns on the board June 30.

Ernest C. Bell, Bellmawr truck farmer, and Michael J. Klein, Clif­ton florist, two new members of the state board, took their oaths of office at the meeting. They were nominated by delegates to the 40lh annual State Agricultural Coriven- tion in January and were appointed by Governor Meyner.

Rapp grew up on his father’s poultry farm in Red Bank and at­tended Rutgers University, Cornell University and Connecticut Agricul lural College.

Since 1922 he has operated poul­try farms near Farmingdale. Rapp maintains about 12,000 layers. Each year he hatches approximately 700,- 0(X) White Leghorn baby chicks all from pedigreed stock.

Active in county and stale poultry organizations, Rapp is a past presi­dent of both the Jersey Chick Asso­ciation and the New Jersey State Poultry Association. He is a mem­ber of the executive committee and is past president of the Monmouth County Board of Agriculture and four years ago the board awarded him a citation for 20 years of "un- Telflsli 'SmtCFf

Remind Car Owners to List Right Address

Call for Extraordinary Efforts to Conserve State’s Water Supply^

Mail Order System For Licenses to Go Into Effect April 1

Motor Vehicle Director Frederick J. Gassert Jr. reminds all drivers and car owners to notify the Divi­sion of Motor Vehicles of any change of address, in order to as­sure prompt delivery of applications and licenses mailed from the divi­sion under the new mail-order sys­tem, which becomes effective April 1, 1956.

In making this reminder, Director Gassert pointed out that in too many instances important correspondence and licenses are delayed or not de­livered because a driver or owner fails to send a change of address to the Division.

Under the law, a licensed driver and a registered owner is required to notify the director, in writing, of a change in his residence within one week after the change is made. Fur­ther, a change of address may also be recorded, if more convenient, at one of the motor vehicle agencies located throughout the state.

Director Gassert is particularly concerned at this time because it is his desire to facilitate quick hand­ling of 2,500,000 driver's applications and over 2,000,000 repslration ap­plications at renewal time.

ney General Grover C. Richman Jr. announced today. Tuesday and Fri­day were fatality free in traffic but there were 17 deaths during the re­mainder of the week as against 16 in the corresponding week of last year. Tlie year’s total to date is 410 as compared with 404 at the same date in 1954.

Richman said last week’s vic­tims were six drivers, five passen­gers, four pedestrians and two bi­cyclists. A rear-end crash in Cam­den county took the lives of a driver and two youthful passengers while a driver and a passenger died in Plainfield when the vehicle ran off the road. The Mercer County toll is 18 compared with 21 for the cor­responding period a year ago.

“Now that we're in August, which has a tradition of being the second most perilous month of the year on the roadways, it is more essential than ever for every highway user to exercise more care. Travel is at its peak, and with the heat and hu­midity, carelessness is also at

“W e are dealing with something far more serious than the usual summer dry spell.

“W e arc reckoning with condi­tions of severe drought and our problem is compounded by the fact that existing water supply facilitiei are strained to capacity even during periods of normal rainfall.”

McLean said there is an overrid­ing need for a water-conscious pub­lic, fully aware of the hazards in the current situation and careful not only to avoid waste in the use o f water but also to confine its uses to the most essential purposes.

“Obviously, no one can foretell the duration of a drought,” he con­tinued. "W e cannot ignore the pos­sibility, however, that this is more than an isolated event of the mid­summer season. From time to time, the deficiency of rainfall persists over long periods, it is not incon­ceivable that w'e have entered such a period in New Jersey.”

McLean cited a report by How­ard T. Critchlow, director of the

gles. This is the guide to the de­tailed sections which follow in north to south order.

through May 31 was only 15.05 inch­es. This was three to four inches below normal for the first five months of the year.

The urgency of the situation also was underscored by Dr. Thurlow C. Nelson, chairman of the State W a­ter Policy and Supply Council. Nel­son expressed the fear that "we may well be heading into the w’orst drought in New’ Jersey’s experi­ence.’’

He noted that the geophysicist Halbert B. Gillette advanced the idea in 1940 that the extremely dry weather so evident in the early thirties represented the beginning o f a 60-year period of minimum rainfall. Gillette went on to predict that during the period 1954-56 weather conditions would be the driest within historic times.

Nelson, who has pointed to this- forecast on a number o f occasions^ said in the events of the recent past the prediction has received a de­gree of confirmation that can be o£ no comfort to anyone.

Among other things, Nelson ob­served. the Water Resources Re­view of the U. S- Geological Survey disclosed in September. 1954, that 18 states had reported the lowest stream flow and low’cst well levels in their history and six states had asked to be designated as disaster areas by the Federal GovemmenL

“ If Gillette’s prediction continues to be confirmed in the months ahead as accurtitely as it has been con­firmed thus far, many areas in New Jersey may face the most severe water shortages on record,” Nelson said.

Commenting on the general water crisis, McLean said the current drought only makes it all the more evident that no time must be lost in undertaking a major expansion of

"W e recognize,” McLean contin­ued, “ that the enactment o f a pro­gram for the expansion o f our wa­ter supply facilities will not solve the immediate problem. The con­struction of reservoirs and acque- ducts requires several years."

Until the new facilities can be provided, he said, citizens must rec­ognize that a period of water short­age is a period o f public emergency that demands sacrifices from every one in the areas affected.

Safe Driving Rules"But, Officer, I didn’t know it was against the la w !’’"That’s the familiar lament of many drivers whose disregard

of traffic laws gets them in trouble with enforcement officers, but it doesn’t help .their case,” state David Green, president o f the Automobile Association of New Jersey.

"The fact that a driver doesn’t know he’s breaking a traffic law doesn’t excuse him from blame. I f he doesn t know the law', he has no business driving a car!

"There’s too much at stake for any motorist to take a casual attitude toward traffic laws. Other m otorist expect a driver to know the law and they count on him to obey it. I f he disregards it, he catches them off guard and this often results in a tragic accident.

"F o r instance, the law requires that a right turn be made from the right side of the road. No motorist expects the driver in the lane to the left of him to cut across traffic to make a right turn. Consequently, whenever a driver commits this violation, an accident is almost certain to result.

" I t is the duty of every person who drives an automobile to know the laws governing its operation, and there’ no excuse for ignorance.”

Motorists are urged to be especially careful to . observe the following safe driving rules;

Always drive at a speed that is safe for conditions.Give a car on the right the right-of-way at an intersection.Give pedestrians in the cross walk the right-of-way.Always come to a full stop at a stop sign.Obseiwe all red lights, stop signs, or slow signs.

Industrial AccidentsIndustrial accidents in New Jersey during 1954 were respon­

sible for the loss of 11,30 1,224 working days, according to the State Department of Labor and Industry. This is an increase of 646,104 over the 1953 total.

Carl Holderman, state commissioner of labor and industiy, explains the days lost due to compcnsible accidents are determined by a system u s ^ throughout the United States. A fatal accident or a permanent total disability results in a "penalty” o f 6,000 days with the remainder of the scale graded accordingly.

Fatal compensible industrial accidents increased in the state by 15 while non-fatal cases increased 2,182 from the 1953 total. Occupational diseases alone, caused 1,821 jilaim jj calling for the payment of $1,655,721 compensation without medical expenses.

Home-Run RecordAbout this time each year the enthusiasts who keep a close look

on the major league hitters, begin to look for a possible successor to the immortal Babe Kuth in the home-run belting department. The Babe slammed 60 circuit clouts in 1927, a record that still stands.

Ruth’s record was last approached in 1938 when Hank Green­berg hit 58 for Detroit. In recent years Ralph Kiner was leading the pack. His top effort was 54 in 1949, but in the last three years, his circuit clouting has fallen off considerably.

There are several sluggers in the National League that have a chance of catching up with the Babe’s mark. Currently in the thick o f the fight for the home-run crown are Duke Snider of Brooklyn, Ted Kluszewski o f the Reds and Willie Mays o f the Giants. All have crashed better than 30 homers.

The season is heading down the stretch and if the trio of sluggers k.eep up their present pace, one or all three might equal or surpass The 60 figure.

I f any of these men are going to do it this year or any other year, he has to really get hot in September. The Babe turned in his best shots in this month, clouting 17. There’s an old saying that records are made to be broken, but the Babe has one we hope will be around for years to come.

School AidState financial aid to New Jersey’s public schools will reach

$63,000,000 in the new 1955-56 school year which starts in Sep tember.

During the 1954-55 school year concluded last month, state aid totaled $35,500,000. This included an increased allotment of funds under a new formula approved by the 1954 Legislature effective during the last quarter, or April, May and June,

Public school costs in New Jersey during the 1953-54 school year reached $294,557,053.45, ncluding bonds and interest, new buildings and other expenses. O f this amount the day school costs were $226,725,019.37 or $281 per child in average daily enrollment. State financial aid totaled $27,000,000. Costs for the last school year all over New Jersey will not be tabulated until August.

Credit for the increased state school aid next year should go to Dr. Frederick L. Hipp, executive secretary of the New Jersey Education Association, whose persistent bombardment of legislators during the past decade convinced the lawmakers that more state aid to education was the number one problem of state government.

A Coonskin CapRecently Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee stated that he

wouldn’t be a candidate for the 1956 Democratic presidential nom­ination. Now he isn't saying yes or no.

According to the Senator, he may change his mind. He ob- sc^ ed that “ anyone who says he wouldn't like to be president of this great country is just kidding.”

W e can't say what the Senator may be thinking about, but there's the possibility he might be waiting around to see how long the Davy Crockett fad will last

I f we remember correctly Kefauver did right well in a coon­skin cap in 1952. Today that raccoon headpiece has been getting wide notice throughout the land via the youngsters and many adults too.

The coon cap may be worth its weight in gold in votes and there's the chance you can slip into the White House with the push o f a raccoon'f-tale.

THE SIXTH OF JUNEBy LIONEL SHAPIRO N.Y., Doubleday, 351 pp. $3.95

It’s a pleasure to say “The Sixth of June” is one o f the better novels to come out of World War II. I'or one thing, Lionel Shapiro’s story is vividly real­istic without the offensive and obscene language con­tained in so many other war stories. Secondly, it show.s the relationships between the English. British and Canadians in England during the war. But most important of all, it is a story of decent people caught in the whirlpool o f war and whose strength of char­acter and honor prevented a long-range emotional disaster for four persons. Not enough of the war books have shown people at their best, so this is an additionally welcome one.

The D-day attack on the 6th of June has been written about many times and told in different ways and lived through by thousands upon thousands of people. And for those who lived through it and were affected by it, that day was a day of reckoning. So it was for Valerie and Brad, the two main characters and nationalities in “The Sixth of June.”

Brad Parker, still at the age of adventure—twenty- six—and the future heir to the Malton (Connecticut) ‘Daily Star” met Valerie Russell, daughter of Briga­dier Frederick H. Russell, in London while was as­signed to ETO Headquarters on Grosvenor Square. A scuffle with the Home Guard, in which the briga-

by Kathryn S. Dennis

England during the blitz and two people in love.dier became involved, led to their meeting and subse­quent emotional involvement. Brad was already mar­ried to a beautiful, self-possessed girl back in the States and Valerie felt herself tied to a shy but brave English soldier. Brad and Valerie did not deliberately seek love. It just seemed to happen and it was not a cheap, sordid affair. It was a love that could and probably did happen many times between persons in their situations during World War 11. However, not all war love affairs were brought to a surprising climax by "Operation Overlord,” as was that o f Brad and Valerie.

Along with the telling of Brad’s and Valerie’s love and of Brad’s various assigmnents in England and Algiers, !NIr. Shapiro pictures life in war-torn F.ng- land, the reactions betw'een the British and Arnerican citizens and soldiers in England, the soldiers in bat­tle. And several times Mr. Shapiro jumps across the ocean to show what went on with Brad s \vite and Jane and the other folks back home. He even brings the Congressmen to headquarters.

In spots "The Sixth of June” is a little stuffy and a little newspaperish (which, of course is really no fault, just a matter o f style) but on the whole it is well-balanced, rings true and has a fine feeling for honorable love between a man and a woman under trying circumstances. What more can one ask for in a major n o v e l ? _________________

30 Million Vehicles Forecast on Parkway

Trenton.—New Jersey's 165-mile Garden State Parkway is expected to attract 30,583,000 toll-paying ve­hicles during its first full year of operation l^tvsteen I’aramus and Cape May.

The final link o f the super-high­way was opened on July 1 from East Paterson to Paramus. The roadway cost ^5,000,000 which e.xcludes the price of the 19.4 miles built by the Stale Highway Department in three scattered sections. Revenues estimat­ed to be collected during the first year will reach $12,003,000.

The Parkway extends through 10 counties, Bergen, Passic, Essex, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Burlington, Atlantic and Cape May. It links .\sbury Park, Atlantic City, Lakewood, Long Branch, Wildwood and all Jersey shore resorts with such metropolitan areas as Newark, Clifton, Passaic, Paterson, Perth Amboy, Bloomfield, East Orange and Irvington.

The design is a divided higiuvay with two-to-three lanes each in the northbound and southbound road­ways, with additional auxiliary roads of two lanes in each direction along Essex County only. It has 114 entrance ramps and 112 exit ramps. TIiFcentTr TsTand width raiifes Tf^ni5 feet to 6(}0 feet.

The passengar car toll for the en­tire 165-mile length is $2.25 or an average of 1.4 cents a mile. Nine across-the-parkway toll stations and seven ramp toll stations cause mo­torists to slow down periodically. It lias 285 overpasses, underpasses and bridges. Trucks are not pennitted on the parkway above Lakewood. Buses are limited to through travel along northern sections of the park­way above the Raritan River and are unlimited along the southern section. Chartered buses are pro­hibited on weekends and holidays north of Ocean County between June 15 and September 15.

The parkway is patrolled by state trooiiers over its entire length. There are gasoline stations 'and restaurants or snack bars at eiglil locations for the accommodation of motorists. To build the parkway, 2,(XJ0 dwellings were removed or demolished.

Princeton.—How do rank and file New Jersey adult citizens feel about business firms insisting on an em­ployee’s retirement at the age of65?

A New Jersey Poll survey com­pleted in late July shows that a majority of all those questioned feel that it is not a good idea to insist on a man’s retiring when he reach­es 65.

At the same time, a sizable group•more than 2 out of every 5-—

think It is a good idea to retire a man at that age.

In other words, those who think it is not a good idea for a company to insist on a man's retiring when he reaches 65 outnumber by a mar­gin of belter than 7 to 6 those who think it is a good idea.

Answers to another question in today’s sur\-ey also show that 65 is the most popular age at which to retire in New Jersey today, with more than 2 out o f every 5 workers saying they plan to retire when they reach their 65th birthday.

Noteworthy, too, is that 1 out of every 7 workers questioned say they will never retire.

The first question asked of all workers;

"At what age do you plan to re­tire ?”

BILLIONS BEING WASTEDIn this period during which our

Federal government is spending about 70 per cent of all the tax money collected on national defense, veterans’ benefits and international affairs, \ve need to do everything humanly possible to cut waste and secure the utmost efficiency in tiie operation of these major activities. For the years immediately ahead any drastic economy in government spending, and thus any sizable Fed­eral lax cut, must be achieved in this area of national defense.

In the present fiscal year $40.4 billion is being spent on national de­fense, $1.8 billion on international affairs, and $4.6 billion for veterans’

-tnA T t-I- «— 1-5 M M 13more than $46 billion. Interest on the national debt takes another $6.3 billion. All the other services o f the F'ederal government cost taxpayers ^ billion. There is ample opportun­ity to substantially reduce the ^ billion in domestic governmental spending, and we should do it at once; but the big cut obviously must come in the big defense operations where the big spending is.

lmport*at to TaxpayersThe Hoover Commission’s find­

ings and recommendations in the area o f national defense are thus vitally important to every taxpayer in America. Included in the findings were some fantastic facts relating to food and clothing procurement and handling by the Defense Depart­ment. During the last fiscal year ending June 30. 1955, about $1.3 bil­lion 'was spent on food and clothing and the total inventories exceeded $700 million for food and $2.7 billion for clothing. Why this cost is so huge can be partially seen in the fol lowing findings:

Although a Navy manual estimates that c a i^ d meat and poultry hav a “keeping life” of 24 months, « study of 14 Naval supply depots showed: 719 months’ supply o f can­ned hamburg, 79 months' supply of canned beef and gravy and a 75 months supply o f canned ham chunks. Another item: The Army paid freight on 807,000 pounds of canned tomatoes it bought in New York and shipped to California; and the Navy paid freight on 775,000 pounds of canned tomatoes it bought m California and shipped to the East coast. This constitutes costly mismanagement in the Defense De partment.

Coordination NeededThe Hoover Commission recom­

mended that a civilian agency be set up within the Defense Depart ment to administer purchasing, in ventory control and certain other services—now handled wastefully by less experienced Army, Navy and Air Force personnel. The Adminis trator o f the new agency would be a presidential appointee. Billions can be saved in the efficient handling of supplying ^nd servicing the wide­spread opefations of the depart­ment.

The Defense Department employs 1,180,000 civilian personnel and ap­proximately 3 million military per­sonnel. It spends directly about $35 billion a year. It holds $ ^ billion of property in military w'arehouses, including the $2.7 billion worth of clothing—-twice as much as is need­ed. By reducing the clothing inven­tory by 50 per cent, $30 million in interest and $3 million in warehous­ing could be saved the taxpayers of America each year, the Hoover Commission pointed out.

Although efforts have been made since the passage of the National Security Act o f 1947 to achieve co­ordination in the field of supply the Commission found "no accepta­ble degree of success.” The task force which studied management practices in the department conclud ed that “a definite program must bi outlined which will eliminate un­necessary waste—duplicate stocks, distri^bution systems, facilities and overhead personnel.” Significantly the Committee found "Inertia or strong resistance” on the part o f the military departnui^ts toward coor- dination of contmon supply and ser­vice activities.

On the other hand, among those under 45 years of age, opinion ” very evenly divided. ^

Tsvo other intereping sideUghts emerge from today’s survey f a mgs.

One is that higher proportions of women than men are of the opinion that It IS not a good idea for com panics to insUt on retiring a mao when he reaches his 65th birthday

Survey results also show that about half the svorkers in today's survey who think the policy is . good one are actually planning to retire at 6d; whereas only about 1 m 3 who do not like the idea of forced retirement say they plan to retire at 65.

Chief argument against retiring at 65 IS that people who are able and willing to keep on working should be permitted to do so.

Some of the top leaders in Amer­ican industry and finance, experts in the highly competitive business of keeping expenses down, have spent months at the important task of finding ways and means of saving tax money in the operation of our gigantic Defense Department. The citizens of America now have the responsibility o f pushing through to concrete actions the recommenda­tions made by these business ex­perts.

A compilation o f year-end debt standing o f the 21 counties has been assembled by the New Jersey Tax­payers Association for use in its an­nual publication, "Financial Statis­tics of New Jersey Local (govern­ment,” to be issued in early fall.

This shows that during 1954 the over-ail indebtedness of the 21 New Jersey counties had increased $8 million to a grand total of $112 mil­lion by the end o f 1954—averaging $23.16 per capita, statewide, and,

within the counties, ranging from a per capita burden of 0 to $34,53.

The per capita debt in Mercer County alone figured out to $16.41 for each o f the County’s residents. The debt o f this County toulcd $3,771,000 at the end of 1954, a one- year increase of $187,000. It was one of nine New Jersey counties showing increased debt.

Q. Is cancer a blood disease?A. The only pan blood plays in

iUiU beiwg « irwef -ef cancer cells from one part of the body to the other. However, cancer may develop in certain tissues which form the cells of the blood.

Q. Is cancer contagious or infec­tious ?

A. As cancer is not due to a germ, it is neither contagious nor infec­tious.

Q. Are ail tumors cancerous?A. No. There arc two kinds of

tumors. Benign, usually harmless, and malignant, which is cancer.

Q. W hy should cancer be diag­nosed and treated early?

A. Because the sooner cancer is found the less chance there is of it having spread to other parts of the body in which event successful re­moval is doubtless.

Simple F.orage Mixes BestThere is no need to use "shotgun”

mixtures for seeding new pasture or hay fields except in special cases.

In fact, research has shown that complex mixtures are far less likely to produce desired results than sim­ple mixtures, according to John E. Baylor, extension specialist in farm crops at Rutgers University.

Keeping a close observation of your birds will help you determine how much grain they should receive. The amount fed is dependent upon body weight, egg production and the time of year. Remember that pul­lets coming into production are still developing in body weight as well as production and must be fed prop­erly in order to satisfy these needs. It is a good practice to check the weight of a few birds every week in order to be certain that body weight is not being sacrificed for egg pro­duction.

Extra attention is a must for birds being housed. Remember, they fire in a different environment and

pasture research station, he says, Ur. Roy Blazer and his associates found that total yield and seasonal distri­bution of forage were determined by the species in. the mixture rather than by the complexity of it.

In other words, use simple mix­tures of the most productive species and you’ll get maximum and most economical yields.

The best method to get top yields throughout the grazing season is to seed simple mixtures in separate fields and then manage them prop­erly, Baylor suggests. For example, orchard-grass-ladino pastures are ready to graze earlier in the spring than bromegrass-ladino. And alfalfa- ladinb-brome properly managed will produce better on droughty soils than will ladino-brome alone.

On the other hand, large quanti­ties of lower yielding and lesser adapted species to these simple mix­tures add nothing to the yield but do increase the seed cost tremen­dously.

Pullet Housing TimeIt will soon be time to house the

pullet flock o f 1955. Pullets should be placed in their permanent laying house quarters by the time they have reached 10% production. If the birds are kept on range after they have reached the 10% produc­tion level, a loss in eggs, dirty eggs and a possibility of birds going into a molt when they are housed may be the undesirable results.

There are several other manage­ment factors to keep in mind as fol­lows:

If you lack in housing space, be selective and house only those birds that will be good egg producers. Do not overcrowd the laying house. Overcrowding does not nay off.

An adequate supply of water is

weather because they did not con­trol cabbage worms, and especially the cabbage looper, while they were still young.

These worms are not difiicult to kill while they are young. However, when they become older, to full grown, they are extremely difficult to kill. Larger quantities of more powerful materials will have to bejused, which may disqualify the crop: when it goes to market because of

gram.Crabgrasi in Lawns

One of the problems which is a perennial one for many’ home own­ers is the pesky weed crabgrass. It is probably more noticeable in many lawns at the present time where the desirable species in the turf have turned brown as a consequence of the lack of an adequate supply of moisture and the severe heat.

The crabgrass in many lawns is about all that remains green, except where there is also an infestation of some of the broad leaved weeds such as buckhorn, plaintain, rag­weed, etc.

There are many factors which contribute to crabgrass infestation and unless certain fundamental principles in lawn care are adhered to, this worst-of-all turf weeds may very likely become a severe problem.

One of the principles in lawn care which is most important, particu­larly during summers such as we have been having recently, is this matter of proper watering. Light sprinkling of the lawn will stimu­late the crabgrass to the detriment o f the desirable lawn species. If lawns are to be watered soak slowly to a depth of 4 or 5 inches and no more often than once a week.

Other important fundamentals in proper lawn care are to fertilize in mid-September and again in early spring, and to use limestone at a rate of about 50 pounds per 1,000 square feet every third year. Also, inow the lawn at no less than a 1 inch height throughout the entire season and do not remove the clip­pings unless they are so heavy that the grass might be smothered.

Crabgrass is an annual weed which must grow from seed each year. It is important to remember that its seed will not germinate in

excessive chemicals present. IFor cabbage at this time o f year, I

planted for fall harvest and one- i third grown, a 5% DDT dust or| DDT spray may be used for good ; control. However, toward fall, this' material must not be used within 30 i days of harvest because of its resi- j dual character. I

Where aphis are present with thej small worms, a grower should use I either rotenone dust or spray, l % j parathion dust or the equivalent in spray, or a malathion dust or spray.'

The important thing is to apply} the dust or spray thoroughly when | the worms are young. |

Insects jThe science of entomology is one

of the phases o f management in ag-j ricultural production which, has d e -' veloped rapidly, particularly in re-1 cent years with the advent of new; types of chemical insecticides.

The intensive battle between man!

will drink approximately 20 quarts of water per day. Water consump­tion increases during warm weather and with increases in egg produc­tion, so keep a plentiful supply of fresh water available at all times.

Make certain there is plenty of feeding space. Two 8-foot feeders or an equivalent in other types of feeders should be provided for 100 birds. Don't overload the hoppers and feed frequently and in small amounts. Following these practices will stimulate feed consumption and reduce wastage.

control—proper turf management which will develop a dense turf.

Crabgrass killing chemicals are available but should be used only a last resort.

Cabbage WormsWith the new pesticide regulations

in force, vegetable growers will have to plan their spraying or dusting programs and also select recom­mended materials to use for the con­trol of insects.

A few years ago many cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli growers lost therf crops during dry and hot

and insect for food supplies has raged since the beginning of history. But what has caused this great up­surge in the need to control insects, which, ^ turn, has resulted in more extensive research to develop new and more effective insecticides?

Some express the opinion that it has come about because of increased numbers of insects. Other consider­ations are that wre are producing a larger proportion of our food sup­ply on fewer farms and we are deal­ing with greater yields per acre. Also, we are more quality conscious I as a consuming public. It is con­ceivable that the ravaging of detri-j menial insects thus has become more' noticeable. ;

Whatever the reason, insect con-i trol on vegetable crops, in livestock enterprises including pests on for­age crops, on nursery and florist crops, etc. as well as those which attack or otherwise disturb humans, is a most important part of our ev­eryday life.

Fanners and, in some cases, the home owner of today, have by nec­essity become skilled technicians in the science of entomology. The proper application of the right ma­terial or materials in the control of a pest or pests is often a compli­cated but rather exact process.

Thus, the need for additional and more intensive educational services has also developed. The Extension Service includes in its adult and youth programs through its publici­ty, demonstrations and direct con­tact this w’ork of keeping growers am} hnn e owpe^y qp to gpd in training the youth in fundamentals of the science.

For instance, here in Mercer County the educational program has included demonstrations on dly con­trol in dairy barns, spittle bug con­trol in forage crops and circular let­ters to fruit growers weekly during the growing season, to name just a few.

The youth program ip 4rH club work has also developed projects in entomology here in the county. This project work is concerned at pres-

The Hightstown Recreation Cen­ter which has been undergoing ren­ovation since June 1 will officially open Monday, August 15, Arthur Wilson and Sidney Gordon, owners, announced today. The partnership purchased the building on Mercer street housing the bowling lanes, a store and twx) apartments several months ago.

! Frazee Scores 3d Win At Local Speedway

Action will be resumed again on Saturday night at the Airport road track here w'ith Pete Frazee, riding high in liis greatest season as a stock car driver, again the main threat to the opposition. Frazee took his third feature race of the season here last Saturday night with a brilliant exhibition o f driving.

Ken Smith o f Princeton also looked well in driving Joe Silver’s 60 to victories in the heats and semi-final races. Smith and Eddie Hausman along with local favorite Jack Stackhouse loom as potential threats to Frazee's supremacy.

The local track, the only fi^th mile paved surface in the area is having its best season, drawing large crowds regularly. It is easily reach­ed from Route 130. The first heat starts at 8 :.W p.m.

Saturday afternoon with post time 2 o'cldek.

Again in competition with Mon- moutli Park the first two days, Freehold is nevertheless expected to host a record inaugural throng for the third straight year. At last season’s opening day show, crowd and handle records were established by 3901 trotting and pacing enthu siasts who wagered $146,019. Before the late summer-early fall session concluded on October 12, all exist ing attendance and betting marks had been eclipsed.

Frederick Fatzler, president of the Freehold Racing Association, is quietly confident that the annual record increase in attendance and wagering of the past four years would again be reflected during the 1955 meeting, which again will close on Columbus Day.

Given a break from the weather, Freehold should surpass the 1954 record "season Tigufes “o f $B,o39,-?09 (handle) and 1^,600 (attendance). The upward trend in harness racing interest of recent year lends sup port to a fifth successive record- producing meeting.

Once again, the beauty o f the neat­ly spruced half-mile course has been furthered by several improvemertts. Most notable is a completely new and larger paddock, relocated be­yond the backstretdi directly oppo­site the grandstand. Twice the size of the old paddock, it will house all horses on each afternoon's pro­gram.

Many new plants and shrubbery have been added, the racing strip resurfaced, additional tack rooms built, barns repaired and painting work has been extensive.

While a number of newcomers will grace the scene, most o f the familiar faces are back, including Charles "Pete” Dill, defending driv­er champion. Other stickout top 10 in-thc-money sulky pilots around once more are Ellis Myer, former titles! ranked 12th in the Universal Driver Ratings with a .377 percent­age last year, Dick Brandt, second to Dill a year ago, Joe Adamo, Bill Breece and Harold Dancer Sr.

Followers of the number system might be interested in knowing that the choice post postion 1 contributed the most winners, 118. Ttre^qumber 2 horse scored 83 victories a ^ the number 3 horse was first 68 limbs.

For daily double devotees, the 5-3, 5-2 and 6-1 combinations led the pack in the 1954 season. The 5 ptest was the front end o f the dodble more than any other, leading off the DD no less than 12 times.

B E H I N D m 8 B A L L ?

Y ou r reporter got a first-hand look at the newly renovated Hights­town Recreation Center Tuesday night and what he saw he liked.

The k eg lin g academy is dolled up in a new coa t of paint, linoleum, ball returns, lavatory facilities ami mask­ing units among other things. Ar­thur W ils o n and Sidney (jordon, partners, w h o own the building, have turned in a comendabic job and bowlers fro m Hightstown and vicin­ity should be pleased.

One v is itor remarked that if the wood (p in s ) falls as nice as the place shapes up he was in for a 300 game this season.

.A veteran campaigner and man­ager in the bowling field, John K nopf o f Trenton, has taken over the op era tion and expects to have the lanes jumping with pin action.

A ctive bowlers and even those who o n ly play occasionally are for a pelasant surprise. Hightstown has its b est bowling facilities since it went in fo r the sport in a big way 17 years ago .

Soden Point Leader At Old Bridge

The rapidly progressing 1955 rac­ing season finds the point standings at Old Bridge stadium extremely close.

Ed Soden, the 19S4 track cham­pion, holds top spot at the present time, with Len Brown the Lambert- ville leadfoot right at his back wheels. A1 (Peanuts) WardeU of Lakehurst is in third place with Trenton’s Ed Hausman fourth.

As competition grows keener point standings are swiftly chang­ing and it will be a hard-earned victory for the driver and car own­er who win the 1955 track honors.

Racing continues every Friday and Sunday evenings at the Route 18 racing oval and drivers such as Pete Frazee, Dick Williams, (Gordon Oldford, Jerry Wilgus, Charlie Bird- sail will be on hand this weekend to compete against the top point men.

Bowling Ass’n Lists Action

The Hightstown Bowling Associ­ation made preliminary plans for its 17th year o f action Tuesday at the local recreation center with Charles F. Hunt, president, presiding.

A dozen representatives of the 24- team, three-division league were on hand'. Plans were made to operate on a similar basis as in past years.

Bowling is scheduled Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights with game time set for 7 o ’clock sharp. League play will open in mid-Sep­tember and a 35-week slate will be used.

George Lewis Jr., secretary, has requested association teams to have their rosters in to him as soon as possible. A session is listed for next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the alleys. Team captains or a member are asked to be on hand.

40 Mercer Co. Residents Get Higher S. S.

Increased social security checks were delivered by the mailman Wed nesday to 40 persons in tlie Trenton district, Ruben K. Blane, manager of the Social Security Administra­tion office in the Trenton Post Office Building announced today. These persons are the first of a group of disabled beneficiaries residing, Alercer, Hunterdon and Burlington counties to receive higher benefits under the new "disability freeze” provision.

Until now, an individual fivfio had no earnings for an extended period because of disability, might' have found his social securify benefits cut down considerably, or lost complete ly by the time he reached 65. Un der the new "disability freeze” pro­vision, a person who was totally dis abled before age 65 as a result of an illness which is expected to continue indefinitely, can apply to have his social security record frozen as of the time his disability began. Then, when the time comes for figuring the monthly benefits payable to him after 65 or to his family in case of his death, the years when he had no earnings because of his disability are not counted against him.

Because the law w'as written to apply to workers now over 65—if they became disabled before reach­ing that age—as well as to younger workers who are now or who may become disabled, beneficiaries quali- "fying for the disability freeze are able to have their benefit recom­puted to omit the year during which disability prevented them from working. This has meant increases in their checks for July, the one de.- Hvered Wednesday, and in ail their monthly, checks from now on. July Ss the first month for which creased amounts can be paid under the law.

All persons who were totally dis abled before age 65 and who worked under social security for 5 or more years before rhejr-became disabled shou^get in touch with the district office promptly. If they are already over 65, it may mean an immediate increase in their m onthly chccjcs. If they are not it % ajneansof protecting tnaS futttfe benefit rights and those o f their families against loss.

Further information regarding this new disability provision may be obtained from the 6ocial Security office in the TrentOn Post Office Building.

Here’* Direction*For Freezing Peaches

Peaches are one of the most sat­isfactory fruits for freezing. They’re easy to prepare for your freezer and so welcome on the table when the fresh peach season is over.

Peaches can be packed for freez­ing, either in sugar sirup or in dry sugar. Or they may be packed with­out added sugar. Most people pre­fer to add sweetening so the fruit is ready to serve uncooked for des­serts. The following methods are suggested:

Select fir^ ripe-'.peaches in per­fect condition. Wash and remove skins and pits. Cut in halves or in slices, as prererred. If packed dry, add one part sugar to four parts fruit. Blend and pack, seal and freeze.^ Store at zero or below.

If sirup is used, allow cup sirup per pint package. Stir 3y2 cups sugar into 4 cups of water until dis­solved. If hot water is used, chill sirup before packing. This makes a 40% sirup, enough for about 8 pints of peaches.

W hen packing in sirup, put the peaches into the cold sirup in the container. Press the fruit down and be sure simp covers peaches com­pletely. A crumpled piece o f parch­ment paper may be placed on top to keep sirup over peaches, Leave a little head space to allow for ex­pansion when the peaches freeze. Seal and freeze. Store at zero or below.

A sepcial problem with freezing peaches is darkening o f the fruit. T o prevent browning, we recom­mend that 4 teaspoon ascorbic acid be added to each quart of sirup. W hen dry sugar pack is used, a so­lution may be made of teaspoon ascorbic acid in cup cold water. This makes enough ascorbic acid so­lution for 2 pints o f peaches. It should be sprinkled over the peach es before the sugar is added. The addition of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) contributes nutritive value to the peaches. It retards browning for considerable lime after the peaches are tliaw'ed.

Some varieties o f peaches freeze better than others. Varieties rec­ommended by Rutgers University for freezing include: White-fleshed, Cumberland, Raritan Rose, Redrose, W hite Hale and W ildrose; yellow- fleshed, Eclipse, Elberta, Fireglow, (k>ldeneast, Golden Jubilee, J. H. Hale, Jerseyiand, Newday, Summer- crest, Sunhigh, 'Triogem, Goodcheer.

Buick Builds l,000,000di Hardtop I Tufted pansies, Sweet William, I Hollyhocks, says Charles H. Con­nors of Rutgers University.

! Jf you like hybrid delphiniums, it is well to treat them like biennials. They are called biennials because t takes parts of two growing sea­

sons with a winter between to pro­duce best results.

They make a rosette of leaves the first autumn. The next year they send up tiie flower stalks, produce seeds and the well-behaved ones die.

Some, like Foxglove and Jiolly- hock, may pcr.sist, but they become prey for insects, mites and disease. It’s best to pull these out and start over.

Tate July is a good time to start the seeds. Most biennials have small seeds, so they must be sown shallow. Special care is necessary to prevent the soil from drying about the seeds and small seedlings.

Ivan L. WOes, left, general manager of Buick and vice-president o f General Motors, congratulates Edward I . Kagsdale, general manufacturing manager, on the production of Buick’s 1,000,000th hardtop Buick, which pioneered the hardtop styling in 1949, was tlie first manufacturer m the industry to reach the million mark. The 1,000,000th model v.ms a four-door version which Buick introduced this spring. It is shown with the ori''-;'"! two-door hardtop. '

course fundamental. It is first nec­essary to know what the insect is and whether or not it is a detrimen­tal insect. If it is a detrimental in­sect, it is important to have an un­derstanding of its life cycle in order to know at what time during this cycle it may be doing damage to plants, animal or man.

There are necessary steps in the establishment of a control program and our 4-H boys and girls are thus receiving training along these lines.

Their exhibits of these projects can be seen at the Farmers' Picnic and 4-H Show which will be held at Sullivan's Grove, Washington Cross­ing Park, August 12 and 13.

Everyone is extended a cordial invitation to attend.

State Department of Agriculture.There were only 241 reactors dis­

closed in a total of nearly 229,000 tests conducted since July 1, 1954, notes Dr. Crouse. The 0.11 of 1% reaction is approximately the same as during the previous year.

Herds in eight counties showed no reactors at all. These are At­lantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Passaic and Union.

Annual tuberculin tests are con­ducted in all New Jersey herds of six or more animals or in smaller herds if the milk is sold. When a county is due to be reaccredited (every two years) all herds are tested.

BIENNIALSSome o f the nicest garden plants

are biennials. Among these are pan­sies, Chinese pinks, Canterbury Bells, Forget-me-not, Foxglove,

A cold frame is a good place, or a specially prepared bed in the gar­den. Sow in rows. M ake the fur­rows about twice as deep as normal and cover the seeds with sand.

It is a good plan also to cover the rows wiih fine straw, such as dried lawn clippings, which should be re­moved and placed between the rows as soon as germination takes place.

Another way is to cover the beds with cheesecloth, burlap or papers. Frames can be made for the cheese­cloth or burlap for ease in handling.

Over this a lath shade will be helpful in cutting down the rays of the sun. Ths is made o f mason’s lath, on a light frame, spacing them about a lath’s width apart.

Properly handled, sturdy plants will be obtained for setting out in the garden late in summer or in early fall.

number of companies producing ingot steel rose from 73 to 84. Several o f the newcomers in steel production now rank among the top 30 companies with capacities of 600,000 tons or more. In this same period, the number o f companies with capacities o f a million tons or more rose from 11 to 19.

The 84 steelmaking com ­panies in 1955 operated plants in 118 communities in 27 states. The industry’s ingot steel pro­duction is finished for ultimate markets by an estimated total o f 255 companies, with plants in 270 communities of 31 states.

STEEL INDUSTRYof growth. The 11 largest com­panies in 1939 increased ca­pacity 48 per cent by 1955, while other companies showed an 85 per cent increase during this same period of time.

In automotive production, three major competitors share in 95 per cent of the business; in cigarettes, three competitors supply 75 per cent o f the market: in aluminum, three producers compete to sell the entire basic aluminum output. In steel, the three top com­panies in 1955 had less than 55 per cent o f the industry’s ca­pacity. The rising number o f major steel producers has ex­tended competition in steel over a steadily widening front.
