Efforts to obtain a permanent rab-Israeli settlement have jeen spurred by Egypt's sinking the Israeli destroyer Elath st Saturday and the Israeli lelling of Port Suez Tuesday hich set fire to Egypt's two major oil refineries. The council on Wednesday dopted a stopgap resolution ondemning all violations of the ease-fire without fixing the for either the sinking ol le destroyer or the shelling ol ort Suez. Council members have gener lly agreed that a U.N. repre- entative should be sent to the diddle East, but they have dif- ered on whether he should aerate under a detailed man- ate or under a set of general rinciples.

In Hanoi's views "by bringin the Vietnam question before th United Nations, Johnson als tries to cope with public opinio in the world and even in th United States, which has bee sternly protesting the U.S. wa of aggression." To North Vietnam, the mov toward the United Nations ind cates an attempt "to legaliz the U.S.

With Hanoi in such a mooc and meanwhile picturing itse as encouraged by U.S. anliwa demonstrations, the chances its condoning a U.N. presence i any form seem slim.

Poultry Raisers Urged To Check Electric Wiring A faulty electrical system ay destroy your poultry house is winter, warns County Ex- Obituary nsion Agent, i the Carl E. Rose, winter months, any unsafe conditions a velop in poultry house elec- ical wiring and time lecking, repairing, and clean- may prevent a costly fire. Rose says most poultry nous- 's are poorly ventilated during winter, especially during everely cold days.

When such mditions i moisture col- ects beneath the roof covering, rafters, litter, and ems in the building. i loisture will be absorbed by le insulation on old electrical iring which is cracked by age' in poor condition. Wires wet ith moisture, broken, or naked an be extremely dangerous to ersons working in poultry ouses, as well as a source of re. The wiring may also be over- taded, he said, too small a ire with too large a load, too ar from the meter. This causes notors to overheat and if dust as collected inside the motors, utomatic feeders and quipment become fuel for a re.

Clean these motors and ave yourself the expense of a urned down poultry house or bumed-out motor. Poultry house dust will also ollect on light bulbs, thus, re- ucing the light output. Exces- ive amounts of collected dust or around bulbs will increase lie hazard of fire. Rose pointed out that correct use size is very important in ireventing wire overloading. Rogers L.
