THE RUSK CHEROKEEAN THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1946
Protective Coating
.Given U. S. Ships
An unusual new protective coating
for the "outer skin" of ships of the
inactive fleet which will be berthed
at Orange will kill barnacles or any
other life that attempts to cling to
the vessel, and is good for five years
in salt water and 15 years in fresh
water, the Navy disclosed today.
This application will be applied to
the "ships in mothballs" of the Six-
teenth Fleet, and ships out of com-
mission can be made ready for sea
within 30 days.
The Navy also disclosed that one
or more ships in each berthing unit
will be left in commission, with a
skeleton crew aboard, for maintenace
of the other ships in the unit. The
Reserve ships left in commission can
be returned to active service in 10
days.
The poisonous hot plastic paint
will be applied to all ships of the in-
active fleet for protection of the
hull. The topside equipment will con-
sist of weaving of a moisture proof
•
web by spray gun. Entire gun mounts
are covered by means of these webs,
giving a weird appearance to in-
activated ships. The vessels will be
grouped by types and moored to piers
so that greater protection can be
provided at minimum cost.
Ship preservation is being insured
for a period of 20 years or longer,
the Navy said. Deterioration is due
almost entirely to the effects of mois-
ture. Preservation methods consist
chiefly of dehumidifying the entire
ship's interior. The dry condition is
maintained in all spaces that can be
served with dry air by means of an
automatic dehumidifying machine.
In effect, these machines cause the
vessel to breathe, inhaling dry air
into the compartments and expelling
moist air. Each machine costs ap-
proximately $1,500 and no more than
six are needed for a large vessel.
Barring ' failure of dehumidfying
equipment, a piece of polished brass
| can be expected to maintain high
| gloss for 10 to 15 years.
The period of time allowed for de-
| commissioning to a reserve status af-
t*
ter arrival at a berthing area is four
months for battleships and carriers;
three months for smaller warships
and auxiliaries; and "two months for
landing craft, patrol, Salvage and
mine vessels.
For the first month after arrival
at a yard, 70 percent of war-time
personnel allowance is retained. This
is then cut to 35 percent until the
ship is inactivated. If a ship is also
decommissioned no personnel remain
aboard. Vessels left in commission
have a severely reduced complement.
There will be 1,125 ships in the in-
activated Sixteenth Fleet which is
under command of Admiral Thomas
C. Kinkaid, USN.
The eight permanent berthing areas
for the Sixteenth Fleet are located
at Boston, New London, Philadelphia,
Norfolk, Charleston, Green Grove
Springs, Fla.; Bayonne, N. J., and
Orange, Texas.
The berthing area being construct-
ed at Orange will be used for smaller
type vessels.

DIET AND HEALTH
That the inclusion of proper foods
in the daily diet plays a very impor-
tant part in the maintenance of good
health was stressed in a statement
issued this week by Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer.
"One of the most dreaded of all
diseases, pellagra, is caused entirely
by not eating the kinds of food which
Would insure a properly balanced
diet," Dr. Cox said. "The public is
prone to overlook the serious nature
of pellagra. At best is is an uncom*
fortable and unpleasant disease, but
aside from this, there is one possible
result that can be very tragic. All too
frequently pellagra leads to serious
mental disturbances," Dr. Cox warn-
ed, "and in some cases, actual in-
sanity."
According to the State Health Of-
ficer, pellagra is known as a disease
which is no respecter of persons.
There is danger of pellagra striking
t c any age and either sex when the
diet is consistently faulty.
To make sure that the diet contains
the proper pellagra preventive ele-
ments, it should include daily plenty
of pure milk, some fresh, lean meat,
and as many fresh vegetables, es-
pecially green vegetables, as possible.
Tomatoes and whole wheat bread are
also very valuable and eggs contri-
bute their share to pellagra preven-
tion, as do all varieties of fresh
fruits.
Uncle Sam's crapsliooters are
bringing back about as many medals
as his sharpshooters.

Mule Barn News
Well just at this season lots of us
one horse business men and women
get kinda nervous. We are afraid we
have gained a few dollars, but with
the proper counsel employed most of
us are able to prove that we came
out of 1945 in our birthday clothes.
(This is not poetry.)
Last week's write up was poetry.
I just thought I'd tell you. The first
ever written by me and 1 suppose it
will be the last. It caused too much
loose talk.
Ond reader said I Was getting
worse every week. Another said this
paper would fold up and quit if it;
was*'not for my ads.
But I say no use quitting even if
we can't locate its proper birth cer-
tificate.
One lady told her husband she
thought I was crazy,. Well my barn
is just y2 mile from a State Institu-
tion.
Another reader said if I was going
to write that way I should wear my
hair long and write with a quill as
a Poet that didn't know it.
So I have fully decided to write
differently.
I wonder ;f last weeic's ad sold a
mule, wagon or even a cultivator. No
not even a saddle. Folks would come
by and joke me and buy some of our
fresh load of best alfalfa hay.

Thanks for reading.
See you Sat'd'y.

She's looking for potash because it
takes potash to make succulent legume pastures
high in minerals—the kind that livestock prefer.
Clovers and all other legumes are heavy feeders
on potash. When seeding or top-dressing leg-
umes for hay, pasture, or cover crops, make sure
that there is enough potash in your soil and ferti-
lizer to balance the other plant foods and insure
heavy growth of high feeding value. If you are in
doubt as to the fertility of your soil, consult your
official agricultural adviser regarding soil tests
end proper fertilization.
