the last one hundred days, with the
exception of about eighteen of these,
days, the Wilmington State Docks
were always busy working at least
one ship and many days during this
period two ships were either being
loaded or unloaded.
Marr also said, "During this per
iod, more than 1,500 railroad cars
were loaded or unloaded at the
State, Docks. These, combined with
hundreds of motor transports, have
of. tons of tobacco, scrap iron, jute,
burlap, wood pulp, cotton, steel pro?

cargo. ' . Z'".,.--- :...;.;
. "The economic value of this ac

portation costs on this cargo have
been considerable, and the millions
of dollars exchanged in the buying
and selling of these goods have
benefited many people.
"Present information indicates
that this trend will continue on into
next year, for more and more peo
ple are becoming conscious of the
great economic value of the State

' According to Raybnm, such
hard and fast program may never

Underway.' He said:
"Our record will be our program.
On domestic policies, of course, it
will be a partisan record. We will
have bills and policies of our own

he said; --is xifi- :. r! :
"Eighty per cent of his (Ike's)

much of it"
Rayburn has stated that Demo

ly toward: (1) a three-year exten

structure to make it "fair to all
rather than a few," (3) a return to
high, rigid farm price supports, and
(4) a reasonable increase in fed
eral salaries. '
In only one of these fields re

the .Democrats move right ahead,
without waiting for the President's
message, .and this is a field in
which Democratic thinking is in

A tabulation of blindness and
leucosis taken from the autopsy
sheets of the poultry - diagnostic
laboratory at State College shows
that in birds through 10 weeks of
age there were 16 instances among
11,028 birds which had these trou
bles. In range stock birds, 134 of
3,441 birds sent in had blindness
InCUrable liiindneSS , there were 580 birds showing either
of these troubles. "
This does not indicate the extent
of eye troubles in the entire potij
try population of the state' but
merely that of birds sent in for
laboratory examination, Dearstyne
says.
.' -
"It seems advisable that pojjltry
men in routine examination of .birds
should carefully examine the eyes.
Should any bird show definite in
dication of any eye abnormality It
should be promptly culled as ap
parently there is little chance' of
recovery," according to Dearstyne.
