To Delaware From Belgium

A direct appeal to the people Of
Delaware to contribute to the al
deviation Of the sufferings of the
people Of Belgium has been receiv-
ed by Governor Charles r. Miller
in a cablegram from London. The
message asks the aid Of the people
Of Delaware through the contribu-
tions Of foodstuffs and clothing.
The message follows:
London, November 5.-To the
Governor Of Delaware: Would
you be good enough to interest
yourself in the critical situation
which exists amongst the people
of Belgium to the extent of either
through official agencies or through
the creation Of some committee for
the purpose of collecting food
stuffs or money within your state
on behalf of these on behalf of
these people, such foodstuffs to
consist Of cereals, bacon or ham.
1t would be a matter of great
qualification if the people Of your
state could furnish one or more
shiploads of foodstuffs, to be
known as the Delaware ship. If
you could see your way to take in
hand this benefcient work, we will
use every influence we can bring to
bear to have handed over to you all
Of the funds subscribed within
your state for Belgian relief that
they may be translated entirely
into foodstuffs. We can arrange
for the reception of such fod on the
Atlantic seaboard and it's trans
portation and distribution in Bel
gium.

REBUILDING OUR TOWN
Pertinent Suggestions From
Chautauqua Speaker

The three day Lyceum Festival,
in session at the Opera House three
days last week, Closed on Saturday
with lecture by DR.. A. e. Turner,
ex-president of Hastings College,
on "Rebuilding Your Town"-a
social survey with suggestions as
to remedy and cure. DR.. Turner
believes that life in rural COM
munity represents all that is best
in national life, and declares that
if we wish to perpetuate all that is
best we will see to it that the rural
town is conserved.
The speaker began his address
with the query 'What is the mate
rial at hand with which to rebuild
a town." (The word town through
out the lecture referred to towns
in general, and in no wise applied
to any particular town. "The
towns that ! have visited" DR..
Turner said, invariably contain
two or three classes of citizens who
constitute a distinct handicap to
progress:
(D The man that never sees
anything bad in his town;
(2) The man who never sees
anything good in it. There must
always be some men of courage, of
vision, to lead the people into what
to do);
(3) The man who says We'll we
can take care of ourselves, let
others do the same. (The selfish,
self-centered kind. No town can
ever be rebuilt with these.
eff I were asked to undertake
the rebuilding Of town, l should
first try to get rid Of some Of this
useless material. / should want to
close up every alley and burn every
dump heap. 1t seems the only use
to which the alley has been put is
to make it receptacle for every
thing, until the Board of Health
comes along and makes somebody
clean up. | should want to modi-
fly the plan of taxation, which
makes Uttered, unkempt piece of
land, an advantage to the owner of
it. What foolish custom it is
that means as soon as man cleans
up an old vacant lot, the assessor
shall get busy and raise the tax.
Even the old burghers knew pet
ter than that, for when their lots
were turned into dump heaps,
they raised the tax until the land
lord was forced to clean up.
"There are four fundamentals
in the rebuilding of town: first,
those things which relate to the
health of the community. Food,
flies, filth and factories are men
aces to the public health, and re-
quire constant attention. In gen.
Newark post., 1914-11-11

eral the sources Of towns food
supply are just as good-and no
better-than the law compels them
to be. The town must profit by
the revelations Of science concern
ing the danger Of the house-fy.
We know now that a larger part
of typhoid fever may be traced to
the deadly visits of the house fly;
we know that the loss in material
wealth alone from typhoid fever,
reaches an annual sum of $74, 900,
600. But, my hearers, you may
say this is the raving of a theorist.
A town cannot be rid of flies.
"The city of Cleveland, SIX years
ago, decided to make their homes
fyless, and now fly in that city
creates sensation. Their favor
ite breeding place is warm manure.
When we realize that single fe-
male in one season produces 5000,
100000 other flies, we can under
stand the importance Of keeping
the town clear Of these breeding
places. Every bed of decomposing
vegetable matter, of decomposing
animal matter, should be screened
$50 that no flies can get to it. Then
the mosquitoes. Do you know that
here lies the cause Of nine-tenths of
the malarial disorders with which
mankind is affiictedY The French
failed to build the Panama canal,
not because of lack Of financial
backing, or skillful engineers, but
because they first failed to drain
the territory and get rid of the
troublesome mosquito. Mosqui-
tos breed in stagnant water
whether in an old ditch, or in the
stale water in the pitcher of the
guest chamber. We all know the
story Of the immaculate front yard
and filth found in the inconspicu-
Gus yard in the rear. And the fac
tories Here DR.. Turner paused
to say he knew nothing of condi-
tions in Observation-Disclosures or not
this particular factor figured in
maintaining the health of this CON-
munity. He quoted from Pennsyl-
vania, however, where there are
ten thousand boys under sixteen
working under unwholesome con-
ditions in the glass factories; five
thousand in the mines, and fifteen
thousand boys and girls in textile
manufacturing plants.
"The second element in rebuild
ing town." DR.. Turner said, is
the condition of the morals of the
community. How are the churches 2
How is the church business getting
alongg The church needs to pro-
ject itself into the life of the COM
munity. During the last year New
York, with a population increasing
at the rate Of one-quarter million,
sustained loss of five, in churches.
Surely the figures argue, these
churches have failed in some way,
to measure up to their opportun-
Newark post., 1914-11-11

oty. This was not the type of
church that realizes what it may do
for the social life and interests of
the community. Again the liquor
interests. What of themY I shall
not enter upon a lengthy discus
sion of this subject. AS long as
our laws permit the business our
tongues should forget the criticism
before they begin. 1t is well, how
ever, to recall the old motto, "Pub-
lie Welfare is the Supreme Law. "
All business looking to this end
should be promoted; all other de-
stroyed. The following figures
present their own argument. In a
recent test made among the miners
Of Colorado, it was found that, for
eighteen days when the saloons
were open, the per capita output
was 5.S5 tons; for eighteen days,
with the saloons closed, the per
capita output was 6.52 tons.
How are the schools in your
midst ? There are three menaces
to educational development in a
community: poor teachers, poor
tools, and poor judgement. l don't
suppose any profession has in it
more lncompetents-not because
OF lack of purpose, not because of
lack or zeal, but because young
people Of force, Of ability, will not
endure the parsimony of local
school boards. Every community
must remember that not stocks
and bonds, but boys and girls, are
the greatest asset anywhere. What
business man would invest millions
Of dollars in buildings, and allow
them to be used only 80 per cent of
the time? How long before such
concern would go into bank
ruptcyG Yet we all know the clos
ed, darkened school-room, an in
dictment of the business sense of
the community. The doors should
be thrown wide, every week day,
and the school room made the CEN
ter Of uplifting wholesome inter-
course in the community.
Again how is business? What
kind of business men are in the
town? What kind are you custom
ersg"
The speaker put several perti-
nent questions to the merchants
"Do you spend your time trying
to find out what the people want,
or in trying to persuade them to
take off your hands something you
don't want" Again, to the Gus
toner: "Where do you sell the
stuff you raise? (Remember the
prosperity Of ones neighbor helps
oneself. What is on top Of your
center table-the Bible or the mail
order catalogg Do you realize that
the town merchant invests in stock
that must be carried long time
Can you imagine your predicament
if every local merchant were to
close his doors ?"
''It is well for all to remember
there is a reciprocal duty. Pros
perity means cooperation. "
