Local Property

Taxes in State Again Record

Average Rate Listed At $7.89 Per $100 Of Assessed Valuation

Property taxes levied by local gov­ernments in New Jersey again set a record high this year the New Jer-

state Chamber of Commerce re- vealed today. The 1956 total of $o79,- IfflOOO marks the third consecutive ™a’r that New Jersey local property "taxes have exceeded one-half billion S a rs This was $+5,737,000 greater than last year's record high.

The increase this year was nearly twice the $2+ million increase which S r re d between 1954 and 1955 and ij the greatest single year increase ip New Jersey property taxes everrecorded. . ,

The tax information was released bv the department of governmental and economic research of the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce and was based on a detailed analysis of the 1956 abstracts of Tax Eata­bles issued by New Jersey's 21 coun­ties. ,School L evy H ig h

General property taxes are as­sessed, levied and collected m New Jersey by the municipalities for schools and county government, as well as for the support of municipal functions. The schools claimed the largest parijof the levy, about 44%, while 38% went for municipal serv­ices including a mandatory reserve for uncollected taxes and the re­maining 18% to finance county gov­ernment functions, including the county libraries. There is no general property tax levy in New Jersey for state purposes.

The levy for school purposes was $252,889,000, or an increase of $20,- 550,000 over last year. Thus, school taxes increased 8.8% over 1955. This is substantially more than the $6.4 million increase in school _ taxes which occurred between 1954 and 1955.

Municipalities increased their tax­es by 7.8% which brought their statewide total to $222,008,000. This was an increase of $16,006,000 over 1955.

The tax increase for county pur­poses was smaller in dollar amounts but larger percentagewise. The county levy totals $104,586,000 and the increase amounted to $9,181,000 or 9.6% higher than in 1955.Average Tax Rate $7.89

The value of all property in New Jersey, as determined by local as­sessors, amounts to $7,349,217,000. This was an increase of $337,314,000 over last year.

The statewide average tax rate is estimated by the State Chamber to be $7.89 per $100 of assessed valua­tion. The statewide average was $7.62 in 1955. The increase in the all purpose tax rate was fairly gen­eral in nature: 431, or three out of every four, of the 566 New Jersey municipalities have higher rates, 131 municipalities have lower rates and the tax rates of 4 municipalities are the same as a year ago.

One single person received the $3 For Tnedhral service. Compared 4e<|» the previous month expenditures were down $14729. The figure for the corresponding period a year ago was $218.

Gas and Milk Prices Boosted

A boost in the cost of living greet­ed residents Monday as the price went up for gasoline and milk.

Motorists paid a cent more a gal­lon for gasoline at most service sta­tions following a penny increase in the Federal gas tax. The highway levy is to help pay for the 13-year Federal Highway building program.

With most gas stations in the state now under uniform fair trade prices, regular gas went from 25.9 to 26.9 cents a gallon and premium gas from 28.9 to 29.9 cents.

The state’s car owners now pay seven cents tax on each gallon, four to the state and three to the Federal government.

On the milk front, the farm price went up a cent and any such in­crease is passed on to the consumer in the store or home-delivered price.

Meanwhile, state milk director Floyd R. Hoffman restored minimum retail milk price controls for the first time since February 1955.

New Ag Secretary Is Sworn Into Office

Screens, Fly Swatters Save Many Lives

Screens and fly swatters have saved more lives than have for-

TKougEtresses. Though we J humans nave shown genius and unlimited energy in preying upon one another, com­pared to insect-killers we are really pikers, says Dr. Michael S. Newjohn of the Medical Society of New Jer­sey.

Nations have been ravaged by in­sect enemies and continents desolat­ed—as by the flea in the times of bubonic plague. The conquest of disease and the extension of the life-span of man have gone hand in hand with the control of germ­breeding, death-dealing insects. Germ

|warfare is nothing new; it has been ' used for centuries against us. Its threat is heard in the whirr of wings —insect wings. In warm weather the enemy multiplies all arotfnd us and the danger is therefore propor­tionately greater.

So put up your screens with a will and wield the swatter vigorous­ly. By doing so you may be deny­ing to death and disease ready access to your home. Infection can be air­borne, but much of it comes from contact with contaminated things that fly and crawl and stealthily creep close enough to do their dirty work. Insects thrive on dirt and disorder. You can help to make this a summer of health by doing your part to control and exterminate our insect enemies.

Plan Imaginary

Atomic Bomb Raid in State

Assume Result Would Be Nearly 2 Million Dead and Wounded

A frightful assumption that two- fifths of New Jersey’s population will be killed or maimed faces Civil Defense planners in “Operation Alert 1956” set for July 20 through the 26th. Statistics released by the Federal Civil Defense Administration called for the imaginary dropping of eight atomic and hydrogen bombs in the state's most heavily populated areas. The assumed result will be more than a million dead and slight­ly less than a million wounded.

While the public will not be asked to participate in this exercise, all control centers in New Jersey’s 568 municipalities and 21 counties will be ordered into activation by Thomas S. Dignan, acting state director for Civil Defense and Disaster Control. The initial alert will be sent out over the Attack Warning Network at approximately 11:04 a.m. Friday, July 20. No sirens will be sounded during the entire test in this state.

New York and Pennsylvania will have public participation and New Jersey will cooperate by controlling traffic at state border approaches.

While it will be the actual blast, fire ball and radiation at the time of detonation that presumably claims 2,000,000 casualties, it is quite likely that this figure will be compounded by the effects of radioactive fallout over a period of several days follow­ing the explosions, Dignan averred.

“The problems presented by FCDA in this national test are the

complex ever , to lace our local civil defense directors. If the as­sumed loss of life and injury and the destruction of property in this make-believe horror startles the imagination of our people, it wasn’t so designed. Every Civil Defense exercise, whether local, state or na­tional, is planned and carried through with only one thought in mind; that is to strengthen our home defense which greatly enhan­ces the CD role as a war deterrent,” Dignan declared.

The casualty breakdown for Mer­cer County is 48,000 dead and 58,000 injured.

O. T. Fenton Quits Jewelry Business After 54 Years

When Oscar T. Fenton turned over his jewelry establishment at 106 Main street to William and Samufel Bisignano last week it marked the removal from the business scene of the merchant who has been individ­ually in business here the longest, 54 years.

It was in September of 1901 that Fenton, known to all as O. T., saw Hightstown as a place of opportun­ity due to the fact the town had been without a jeweler for about six months. His first store was located where the Laundromat is now oper­ating. In 1906 he moved to the Cunningham Building where he re­mained until 1938 when he came to his present location in what was known as the Weller building. Fen­ton purchased the property in 1947.

Although his jewelry business and watch repairing demanded much of his time, Fenton decided to take up optometry, graduating from Spencer Optical College in New York in 1904 and from Philadelphia Optical Col­lege in 1906.

Active in community affairs, he became master of Hightstown Lodge No. 41, F. & A. M. in 1915. He was elected to Borough Council in 1930, a post he held for six years. Cur­rently he is president-of the Hights­town Savings and Loan Association.

Although he is retiring from the jewelry business, it doesn’t mean he is going to just sit around and take it easy. He has plans to open an optomery office and work at it sev­eral days a week.

New Insurance Rates for Cars Now in Effect

Two Citations} For Vet Post

Hightstown Post 5700, Veterans of Foreign Wars, walked off with two citations at the 37th New Jer­sey VFW Encampment held last week at Asbury Park, Commander Don Montemaro announced today.

The first was for the best news publication to membership. The contest included entries from posts all over the state. Known as the Hi-Vet News, the post started the publication this year under the su­pervision of Whilliam Rhoads, sen­ior vice commander. It is a monthly newsletter published by The Gazette.

A second award, also a citation, was presented for membership. The post recorded an increase of 21 members over last year to bring the current total to 211, tops on the post’s books.

Representing the local veterans organization at the convention were Clarence Reill, Richard Ewart, Den­nis Horne, William Seehusen, George Exson and Rhoads. Ladies Auxiliary members attending were Rita Rhoads, Frieda Ewart, Marga­ret Moran and Margaret Paladino. Mrs. Paladino was installed as Dis- trice No. 18 president Saturday.

Investigate Ground Water Resources on Wharton

The first step in the state program for investigation of the ground-wa­ter resources on the Wharton Tract got underway this month.

Joseph E. McLean, commissioner of the State Department of Conser­vation and Economic Development, says in accordance with formulated plans, test augering already has be­gun.

The investigation is being made in cooperation with the U. S. Geologi­cal Survey. That agency will share the costs of the work as a part of its overall evaluation of the nation’s water resources.

Commissioner McLean said that land surveys made by the depart­ment in connection with the acqui­sition and delineation of the tract will greatly facilitate the testing program by providing accurate ver­tical and horizontal control points. Some phases of the program, how­ever, probably will require several years for orderly completion.

Labor Day Sunday In Union Services

Beginning last Sunday, the con­gregations of the First Baptist Church, the First Methodist Church and the First Presbyterian Church united for services of worship dur­ing the summer. The services are being held at 11 a.m.

On July 8 and 15, worship will be held in the First Methodist Church with the Rev. Frederick Kling preaching. On July 22, 29 and Au­gust 5. the services will be in the First Baptist Church with the Rev. H. Barry Keen preaching. On Au­gust 12, 19. 26 and September 2, the services, will be held in the First Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Sanford Haney preaching.

The inclusion of Labor Day Sun­day in the schedule of Union Ser­vices has been approved by the boards of the three churches coop­erating, because so many people are away on that weekend.

New auto insurance rates for New Jersey motorists are now in effect.

The rates will be generally higher for drivers under 25 years of age— classified as the most hazardous risk. There were widespread in­creases and cuts in collision and li­ability insurance for older drivers.

Three New York organizations which make rates for some 500 in­surance companies across the coun­try prepared the new rates on the basis of new accident experiences.

One of them, the National Auto­mobile Underwriters Association, re­ported the revisions will bring a net saving of $1,970,000 annually to New Jersey drivers.

However, drivers under 25 face increases of from $2 to $43 depend­ing on the state district in which they live.

Mararied male owners under 25 will have premiums lowered from $4 to $12 in some districts, said the National Bureau of Casualty Under­writers, another one of the organi­zations. Car owners without under 25 operators will get premium re­ductions of from $1 to $22.

Collision insurance rates for pri­vate cars are cut about 8 per cent the NAUA said. For commercial ve hides, collision rates were reduced about 10 per cent. Comprehensive insurance, which covers fire, theft, flood and other losses will increase about 10 per cent, according to the NAUA.

Liability rates went up about 10 per cent.

Brief Shower

Cools Off Heat Wave in Area

Mercury Climbs to 92 As Residents Swelter; Rain Badly Needed

A thunderstorm that brought a brief downpour, electric flashes and some cooling winds moved into the area early Tuesday morning and eased the sweltering heat wave that had pushed the mercury up to 92 degrees Monday afternoon.

The maximum temperature of 92 was the third highest reading of the year here. The high mark for the year was registered on June 13 when the thermometer skied to 97 degrees.

The weekend was hot, but ideal for many residents who got off for vacations a week or two. The shore resorts found business excellent Routes to these areas were jammed. Those who elected to stay home over the weekend either took it easy around the house or flocked under a shady tree.

As for the rain department, it hasn’t been living up to expectations according to Cooperative Weather Observer James R. Pickering. June which made its exit on Saturday came up with 2.98 inches compared to a normal of four inches.

July is listed as to top rain mak­ing month of the year, but in recent years has not been able to anywhere near its normal of 4.84 inches. The shower early Tuesday accounted for .16 of an inch of the badly needed wet stuff.

As for farmers and gardeners they are looking for a steady, soak­ing rain. Many farmers have been working overtime irrigating theircrops:

The home owner who takes pride in his lawn is getting concerned about those brown spots and has been doing duty with the hose. Ac­cording to specialists, a daily sprink­ling does more harm than good. Much better is a thorough soaking of 4 to 5 inches deep once a week. And a lawn that has turned brown is not necessarily ruined as roots will respond to rain.

The dry weather has been favor­able for hay-making and furnished idea! conditions for harvesting wheat and barley.

Weekend temperatures as released by Pickering were: Thursday, 82 maximum, 61 minimum; Friday, 77- 53; Saturday, 85-53; Sunday, 91-60; Monday, 92-71.

Valsac Trips McQueen, 2&1

For Golf TitleMatch Brought to End On 35th Hole at Peddie; Decker Wins 1st Flight

It took 10 years, but George Val­sac, Hopewell Valley ace, finally copped the Trenton District ama­teur golf championship when he downed Harry McQueen, 35-year- old hometown swinger, 2 and 1, on the Peddie course Sunday.

Four times in the past 10 years Valsac has gone to-the finals only to meet defeat, but Sunday was his day. He ended the match by cop­ping the 35th hole.

MQueen fought Valsac all the way, but a troublesome 30th hole hurt him. Valsac took advantage of the break and made it pay off. The morning round was a see-saw affair with the players splitting most of the holes. Valsac won the first with a par 4, but McQueen took the third, also with a par 4. Harry went 1 up when he scored a neat 50-footer for a birdie 3 on the fourth hole. Valsac took the sixth with a par 4 and won the seventh with a par 5, but Mc­Queen evened the match when he

I took the eighth with a 4.Only one hole was won on the

second nine, the short par-three 16th which Valsac took with a par. He was one up at lunch time.

The match continued to be a nip and tuck affair until the 30th when it was believed the break came. Vai sac missed two wood shots on the par five hole, Peddie’s 12th and fin­ally reached the green in four, get­ting down in two putts for a 6. Mc­Queen, just short of the green with two fine wood shots, chipped on 10 feet from the hole. He needed only to hole out in two putts to win the hole and square the match, but he three-putted for a six.

Conrad Decker III, 17-year-old lo­cal golfer, captured the first flight of the Trenton amateur tourney when he chipped into the cup for an eagle 2 on the 19th hole to defeat Trail Oliver of Yardley in the final round. The first flight was the beat-, en 16 of the championship flight. 1

Take a lake... plus a breeze...and your own cottage in the pines. They add up to the perfect solution to your family’s vacation problems for many years to come. And. here's an easy way for you to get the money that will put the key to a summer home into your pocket.

Invest just $7.50 a week in Payroll Savings. In 5 years you'll have Savings Bonds worth $2053 in cash; in ten years, $4448.

Why is the Payroll Savings Plan so suc­cessful? Because it puts your savings on an automatic, systematic basis. And best of all, you do more than save through Payroll Savings. You invest your money, too, and make it grow.

Before you know it — the summer home will be yours. And all you’ll have to do is to sit on the porch and enjoy it. If you’re real ambitious, you can sit and rock. In any event, you'll thank your lucky stars that you invested in U. S. Savings Bonds.

So get started today, on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work —or invest in Bonds regularly where you bank.

FOR THE BIG THINGS IN YOUR LIFE, BE READY WITH

U. S. SAVINGS BONDS

E I G H T B A L LOdds and Ends: Another Fourth

of July has come and gone and as usual it was a quiet affair here. No parades or patriotic exercies and there were few firecrackers shot off. The “crackers” are outlawed in New Jersey, but they crop up annually on a small scale . . . Monmouth Junction came up with its finest an­nual Firemen's parade, its eleventh. Representing Hightstown were a number of its volunteer firemen and the school band. The Junction event always attracts and is nicely done. It was the brainchild of Tony San- tawasso and he works hard at mak­ing it a fine affair.

♦ * *The new steeple on the First Bap­

tist Church is rapidly taking shape and the boys installed the four clock faces earlier in the week. The clock will be electrified and will do away with an occasional trip up the stairs to wind her up. There have been a number of queries regarding the re­placement of the weather vane that graced the old structure. One of the church officials said the plans did not call for it, but there was still a chance a new one might be installed According to the official the old one was full of holes of the 22 bullet variety . . . One of the men-about- town got the itch to see the Brook­lyn Dodgers take on the Phillies Saturday. He got in touch with a friend, hopped in a car and off to Philadelphia’s Connie Mack Stadium thev went. Things seemed extreme­ly quiet around the ball park when they stepped up to the box office to purchase a ticket. To their amaze­ment and chagrin they discovered the contest was being played in Brooklyn. One of the follows says it ain’t so, but that isn’t the way we heard it.

* * *The man who wants to relax and

cool off these hot nights, can’t go wrong in stopping at the local thea­tre. The place is air conditioned and the pictures Manager Dick Whitby has been presenting are good ones. The John Wayne show Sunday and Monday was a dandy ■ • • If you are in the mood for some good eating, chicken that is, try a couple of the barbecued variety served up at Pete Sudol’s poultry establishment on Mercer street.

* * 7Here’s a real tough luck story

and it involves a fellow who has been dogged by physical injuries most of his life. A great sportsman in his day (basketball and baseball) and a fine bowler today, he’s had his ups and downs with bad legs shoulders, back, etc, Last Thursday Harry Lloyd Jr. of Second avenue was the unfortunate victim of a power mower accident that severed

parts of three of his fingers on his left hand. He was taken to Prince­ton Hospital for treatment and re­turned home this week. Ironically Harry and the Mrs. were scheduled to leave for Orlando, Fla. Friday to visit their son, Richard, his wife and iamily for two weeks. One of the top keglers in the local men’s league, we bet Poppy will be back in their pitching next fall when the season opens.

Damasco’s Southenders Set Softball Pace

Damasco’s Southenders, one of the top softball clubs in the area, continues its fast pace in the Tri- County League and to date has reg­istered 15 wins in 16 starts. Twelve games remain on the slate and the Southenders are favored to cop the championship.

Sparking Manager Ernie Turp’s team are Bill Malicke, Pete Field and Ernie Thompson. Malicke is considered the top pitcher in the loop and his battery mate, Field, is a defensive ace. Leading the hitters are Thompson at .451 and Turp at .428.

The Southenders were formed some 16 years ago and six of the original members are still active. In 1953 they joined the Tri-County loop and have won the pennant and playoff championships since the league began.

Jayceee Golf Tourney Captured by Decker

Conrad Decker 3d, 17-year-old golfing enthusiast, chalked a fine 37 on the back nine of the final round Thuresday to edge Jim Barrett of the Trenton Country Club, 153-154, to capture the 11th Annual Junior Chamber of Commerce Golf Tour­nament at Greenacres Country Club.

Richard Piotrowski who was tied with Decker and Barrett after the first nine of the final set with a 116, shot a 43 to come in third with a total of 159. Barrett had 38 on the back nine.

The four finalists: Decker, Bar­rett, Piotrowski and Juris, will be sent to the state finals at the Sub­urban Country Club, Union, later this month.

Legion, Rug to Vie For Midget Loop Title

The American Legion, pennant winners of the YMCA Midget Base­ball League, will square off against the Hightstown Rug Company for the playoff championship Thursday night on Park Avenue Field.

The Ruggers earned their way in­to the final round by tripping Hage- man’s Insurance, 6-4, Tuesday night. Behind 4-3 going into the final frame the Rug nine came up with three runs to gain the victory. The big blow was a triple by Denny Phillips after Charlie Mosher had walked, Bill Moody doubled and Ron Bilcik singled.

Dave Field singled home Sonny Suttmeier to enable the Legion to eke out a 3-2 triumph over Pullen’s buel Monday. The Legion got two m the first inning on a single, error and triple by Joe Haring. Both Fuel tallies came in the third on hits by Bruce Campbell and Bob Rose.

Nebraska’s first state capitol was built in Omaha at a cost of $3,000.

where an immediate effect on the plant is desirable.

Molybdenum for Cauliflower The acreage of fall cauliflower in

southern New Jersey for processing in increasing and many of these growers will do well to apply one- half to one pound of sodium or am­monium molybdate per acre to elim­inate the possibility of the growth condition known as "Whiptail.”

The lack of even a small amount of this material may cause a com­plete crop failure under certain soil and growing conditions.

One of the easiest ways to apply this small amount of the material to the acre is to spray it on both plants and soil. We do not have any def inite recommendation relative to the lack of this material in the soil for the growing of fall cauliflower, but it is likely that it will have an effect if it is lacking. It is usually most severe on acid soils which test a pH of 5.4 or below, or where the fall cauliflower crop follows an early white potato planting.

Also check on the boron content because caulibower requires consid erable amount of boron in the soil. This material can be added to the fertilizer.

YOURgabQdiWeL A T E FLO W ERIN G SHRUBS

Do you know that the chrysanthe­mum is rated as a shrub? Of course, those we grow we treat as herba­ceous perennials. These are hybrids of several species some of which are in nature sub-shrubs, says CharlesH. Connors of Rutgers University.

The conditions under which we have to grow them are not ideal, but often a plant will live over, with the framework of a shrub and new shoots will arise from the old wood. This then gives Us a fall blooming, shrub-like plant.

We do have available a number of shrubs that produce their flowers in late summer and autumn, some wor­thy of cultivation and some not. For instance, the pee gee hydrangea is easily propagated, can be sold cheap, grows almost anywhere and devel­ops quickly into a good sized plant but its open form, coarse leaves and gross flower heads make it difficult to use this plant on a small place.Another one is Rose-of-Sharon

(Hibiscus syriacus). This is the only shrub that is grown in tree-like form, to a single stem. Leaves are large, though their texture is softened somewhat by lobing. Flowers, too, are coarse.

This plant can be worked into a shrub border, but should not be planted where it will stand out. There are a number of varieties as to color.

A fine shrub by any standard that starts blooming in August and con­tinues to frost is Abelia grandiflora. The whit-flushed pink flowers are abundant, much like those of wei- gela in form but about half the size. They are followed by conspicuous reddish calyx.

The height may be up to 6 feet but is usually about 4 feet, and it may serve as a hedge plant as well as in the shrub border or as a foun­dation plant.

One of our native plants that grows usually in moist or even swampy land, but will do well in the garden is Clethra alnifolia, Summer- sweet or Sweet Pepperbush. It is very fragrant, with white flowers in spikes, blooming from July to Sep­tember. It will grow to 9 feet in height but is usually seen about 7 feet. Butterflies visit it.

An interesting one for flower ar­rangers is Clerodendron trichoto- mum, Harlequin glorybower. The plant has coarse, large leaves. The flowers are fair. The glory of the plant is the berries, bright blue and resting in a bright red calyx which remains after the fruits fall.

We should mention here Buddleia or Summer Lilac or Butterfly-bush, because so many persons mistreat it. This now comes in a number of va­rieties and blooms from July or Au­gust to frost, being constantly vis­ited by butterflies.

The proper way to treat this plant, after it lias become established, is to cut it back every winter, to 6 to 12 inches from the ground. If not prop erly pruned it gets ragged in ap pearance.

out the pinning, cutting and stitch­ing processes of these softer sheers. Fabrics such as georgette and mous­seline de soie are slippery and bet­ter cutting results when tissue paper and a sharp pair of shears are used.

When sewing, adjust your sewing machine to a relatively long stitch and a rather loose tension. To pre­vent stretching the neckline, armhole and other curved cut edges, be cer­tain to stay-stitch these edges with­in the seam line. Stitch with the bias line, from the widest to the narrowest part. Stitch all garment seams from the wide to the narrow, being careful not to stretch.

Since many sheers ravel readily, be certain at the cutting stage to allow ample seam allowance and be sure to cut notches outward. Take precautions to choose an adequate seam finish for your fabric and gar­ment, Make all bindings and fac­ings as narrow as possible. Hems can range from a rolled hem in filmy sheers to a wide hem for the crisp sheers. Finish by hand and don’t oversew.

•Old Tim ers Had Their W ay Of Simulating Fine Woods

If you buy a quaint chair at a vil­lage shop this summer and it turns out to be painted pine instead of mahogany as you thought, don’t jump to the conclusion that you’ve been gyped. The piece will probably be worth what you pay for it and you can make it quite lovely—with work.

Old timers often used a penetrat­ing red paint on furniture. This was called refractory paint, made by mixing iron oxide with skim milk or buttermilk. This was considered desirable because it covered all knots and imperfections and gave inex­pensive woods an effect somewhat like that of mahogany or cherry. Sometimes lamp black, brown sienna and other pigments were used.

This refractory paint is difficult to remove because it penetrates the wood pores so deeply. However, the following method has been found successful for this as well as for removing other types of paint and varnish :

Keep refractory paint wet with remover while dislodging coats of old finish.

After removing old finish, moisten the surface with denatured alcohol and rub with 2/0 or 3/0 steel wool with the grain. Keep the surface damp with the alcohol while rubbing. Repeat.

You will probably have traces of paint left on the piece. These are signs of age and might be left. Most pieces with refractory paint were made of wood more suitable for painting than for a natural finish.

Sewing Sheer Fabrics Involves Some Tricks

Summertime sewing often calls for brushing up on construction meth­ods for sheer fabrics.

From the standpoint of home sewing, sheer fabrics may be classi­fied into two groups—soft and slip­pery, such as chiffons, georgettes and soft nets, and the crisp sheer group, such as organdy, dotted swiss and organza. In styling, soft sheers lend themselves to fullness and draping, while more crisp fabrics take to fullness via flares, gores and bouffant styling.

In most cases crisp fabrics involve little or no problems in construction. Being crisp and firm, they*can be handled readily in sewing and take a press easily.

But soft sheers need some special care in sewing because they tend to slip around when being cut and han­dled. Remember that in working on any sheer, a minimum of handling will result in a better appearing gar­ment.

Sometimes it Is necessary to use tissue paper as a backing through­

Quick facts aboutHOUSEPOWERThe average home today uses about three times as much elec­tricity as it did 15 years ago. Many more kinds of electrical appliances are in daily use. To­day’s appliances work faster and better—and so use more power. Your electric company has kept up with this increased demand. But four out of five homes are not wired to handle increased appliance and equipment loads. They suffer from low HOUSE- POWER.

Causes of low

HOUSEPOWER are:

I. An inadequate "service en­trance." The basic barrier to full HOUSEPOWER. To meet to­day’s demands for electricity, you should have service en­trance capacity of at least 100 amperes. This requires 3-wire service from the street. Also suf­ficient fuses or circuit-breakers to accommodate all the neces­sary branch circuits.

J. Inadequate branch circuifs.Using too many fixtures and ap­pliances on the same circuit overloads it. None of them gets enough power. Motors may even burn out—requiring costly repairs. If the overload is too great, the circuit’s fuse will blow or circuit-breaker trip. You need enough circuits to distrib­ute electricity to all your appli­ances without any one circuit having to accommodate too many. Some appliances, like ranges and clothes dryers, need circuits of their own.

3. Insufficient outlets. Some home owners try to avoid this situation by using extension cords and “Octopus” outlets (2- and 3-way plugs), or by plug­ging into lighting outlets. Such practices are unsightly and in­convenient and may be danger­ous. Rearranging furniture to suit the location of outlets is no solution either. Only safe solu­tion is adding more circuits and outlets.

Symptoms of low HOUSEPOWER are:*

1) Lights dimming when appli­ances are turned on.

2) Blown fuses or tripped circuit- breakers.

3) TV picture shrinking when other appliances are turned on.

4) Appliances work inefficiently.

5) Irons, toasters, other heating appliances taking too long to heat up.

*If you spot any of these symp­toms, call an electrical contrac­tor for a free wiring check-up,

Confidence in Jersey’s Business And Job Prospects at High Level

By KENNETH FINK, Director, Princeton Research Service

Princeton.—At the half-year mark, confidence in the state’s business and job prospects is high.

A New Jersey Poll survey just completed shows that more than three out of every five (63%) New Jersey adult citizens questioned in the statewide survey expect more or the same amount of business and jobs for New Jersey during the next few years than it had during the past year or two.

At the same time, nearly three in ten of all those questioned see less business and fewer jobs ahead.

In other words, those who see more or the same amount of business and jobs ahead for New Jersey dur­ing the next few years outnumber by a margin of better than two to one those who see less business and few­er jobs ahead.

Six months ago 64% expected more or the same amount of bus­iness and jobs; 30% expected less business and fewer jobs and 6% expressed no opinion.

Today’s findings thus indicate lit­

tle change in the public’s optimistic attitude since last January.

In conducting today’s Poll on bus­iness and job conditions, a contin­uing feature of the New Jersey Poll, a cross-section of the state's adult citizens was personally asked the following question:

“How do you feel about business conditions in your state for the next few years? Do you think there’ll be more business and more jobs in New Jersey during the past year or two, or less business and fewer jobs?”

More 25%Same 38Less 28No opinion 9

The public confidence in business and job prospects shown in today’s survey should be a good thing for New Jersey business.

It seems only reasonable to as­sume that as long as New Jersey people are confident about their business and job prospects, they will face the future with optimism and thus be more likely to buy new automobiles, houses and other things they need and want—the end result being good business and full em­ployment for the state.

4-H ActivitiesDairy Judging Team

The following 4-H members were selected to represent Mercer County at the State 4-H Dairy Judging Contest held at New Brunswick re­cently; Kenneth Tindall, Dutch Neck; Lynn Klockner, Lawrence- ville; Kay Tindall, Kuser road and Donald Simpkins, Yardvilie, alter­nate.

These members were selected af­ter an extensive training trip through parts of northern New Jer­sey and northeastern Pennsylvania. They judged a herd of Brown Swiss cattle at the home of George Hill, Branchville, New Jersey; a herd of outstanding Jersey cattle which in­cluded several Jerseys imported from the Isle of Jersey at the home of Jacob Brungess, Tunkhannock, Pa.; Guernseys in the herd of Dean Brooks, Meshoppen, Pa. and Hol- steins in the herd of James Rice, Tunkhannock. Members were scor­ed on the placing of the cattle, as well as ora 1 and written reasons for TKeTr pTacIngs.

In addition to he herds mentioned above, members visited the herd of R. N. Earnshaw, Dimock, Pa., where they saw an “All-American” Hol­stein cow. They also visited the herd operated by William Hepburn Jr., formerly of New Jersey, in Fleetville, Pa., known as Grace Farms.

Independence DayNew Jersey stole a march of two

days on the national Fourth of July celebration when on July 2, 1776, the Provincial Congress, in session at Burlington, adopted a combined Declaration of Independence and State Consitution.

Two days later, July 4, 1776, five representatives of the two-day-old State of New Jersey signed the na­tional Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia. They were John Hart, John Witherspoon, Richard Stockton, Francis Hopkinson and Abraham Clark.

New Jersey’s first State Constitu­tion lasted 68 years. According to a backward look at the first Consti­tution, the document had its peculi­arities. It provided that a Governor be elected every year by the Legis­lature. Voting was allowed only by inhabitants of the Colony who were worth 50 pounds proclamation mon­ey. Because of this provision citi­zens had to be substantial property owners if they wished to exercise the right of suffrage in those early days of New Jersey.

The last royal governor, Sir Wil­liam Franklin, was placed under ar­rest the week before the New Jer­

sey Provincial Congress signed the Declaration of Independence thus severing British authority over the colonies forever. Unlike his famous father, Benjamin Franklin, he had no liking for the idea of a separa­tion and had unsuccessfully tried to revive the defunct royal. assembly to supplant the provincial congress.

(And at the BestBuy Yet

What’s in rr for you — if you step out ancl̂ buy yourself a 1956 Buick right now?

Well, first of all—the time is right.

Right now, your present car is at its peak worth.

And, with the whole summer and almost half of ’56 still ahead of you, you’ll get more enjoyment out of a spirited new Buick this year — if you buy now. »

Second, there’s the matter of how much more automobile your money buys in the best Buick yet.We tell you flatly that nowhere but in a ’56 Buick can you get so much bounty for so little booty.For example, take the beauteous big ’56 Buick Sp ec ia l pictured here.It’s one big reason why Buick now ranks in the

Buick Special6-Passenger 2-Door Riviera

top three of America’s best-selling cars. Yet, you’ll find it priced right close to the well-known smaller cars.

T h a t sure makes Buick a whale of a lot of car for the money. And look:Nowhere hut in a ’56 Buick can you get the absolute smoothness and the electrifying per­formance of Buick’s terrific new Variable Pitch Dynaflow.*Nowhere else can you get the obedient respon­siveness of Buick’s big and mighty new 322- cubic-inch V8 engine. Or Buick’s matchless new handling ease and ever-level ride buoyancy — or Buick’s bold new sweep-ahead styling, and solidity' of structure, and stretch-out roominess.

A dd it all up and the answer comes out the same, any way you figure it: Now’s the time to buy your 1956 Buick.Will you come in — before another sun sets — and get set with your best buy yet?

*New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standard on Roadmaster, Super and Century—optional at modest extra cost on the Special

The Whooping CraneWhooping Crane

With the recent announcement that the world’s last surviving flock of whooping cranes has started its migration to the Canadian breeding grounds, attention has been focused once again one one of the most mag­nificent of our North American wa­ter birds. While there is consider-

cided flick—very short and rapid— on the upbeat. Still sounding their challenging call the giant birds move off with ease and competence and come to earth a full mile away, landing close to the shore of the bay.

annual fall campaign to publicize the need for caution on the part of all hunters in these areas should be furthered in every possible way. In addition, major stopping places en route, especially on the Platte and in parts of Kansas, should be patrol­led b\r special wardens during the fall flight, or closed to hunting dur­ing this migration. The Federal Government should be urged to ex­tend the present boundaries of Ar­ansas Refuge to include portions of adjacent islands on which some of

wtruopere winter, ft strtrald also extend to a safe distance the limits | of the closed area bordering the ref- j uge as has been done recently. The

Kegue, Canadian Government should be sup- ported in its plan to establish a closed area that will take in the en­tire northern breeding grounds, such closure to include low-flying air­craft, especially those of the helicop­ter type.

The whooping crane has been fighting a losing battle against ever- increasing odds. To save it, the pub­lic must join hands with the Na­tional Wildlife Federation and other conservation organizations and agen­cies in a renewed effort to preserve this living symbol of America of the past ipr the Americans of the fu­ture.

The whooping crane was featured last March along with o.ther endan­gered animals during National Wild­life Week, sponsored annually by the National Wildlife Federation.
