very fiattering Endorsement Of this
work by one OF the foremost OF the
city's business men. The Blind-Shop
has had few better friends.
The terms OF two Of our commits
sioners, Msssrs. George B. Miller. and
David Snellenburg, having expired the
judges of the Superior Court have re-
appointed Mr.. Miller and have ap-
pointed Mr. Caleb Stabler as a new
member of the commission for a term
Of five years. Mr.. Stabler our new
member Is a successful business man
OF wide experience in manufacturing
and mercantile affairs, and we feel
sure he will make a most helpful and
valuable commissioner.
I'VE greatly regret the retirement
of Mr.. Snellenburg, who for five years
has been secretary and treasurer of
the Commission and has given us
great help and encouragement. His
great mercantile and civic activities
have forced him to decline re-appoint-
ment. much to the loss of the workers
for the blind The sincere thanks of
the blind and their friends are eX-

valued service in the past"

Increased Activities OF Blind;
Need of New Building SET Forth

Increased activities are set forth in
the eighth annual report of the work
for the blind just made public by the
Delaware Commission for the Blind.
The report says
"The fiscal year of the Commission
for the Blind ending April /, shows
marked and healthy improvement not
so much in increased activities Of the

the business. as in the spirit of unity
and helpfulness of our blind workers
and the excellence of the products

with the BlindShOp has come TO feel
the importance of this opportunity for
his welfare, and has co-operated as
never before unselishly and enthusi-
astically to make the work success
full. AS the result OF this united effort
on the part OF the blind workers and

CENSORSHIP PROVISION
AMENDED BY CONFEREES
Administration Supporters Optimistic,
But Opponents Sure, Too.

Although the conferees upon the es-
pdonage hin agreed Friday upon a CEN
sorship provision, yesterday without
warning they suddenly modified this. It
had been brought to the attention Of the
administration that 0p0sltion to censor
ship was 50 strong that utmost dificulty
could be expected II an attempt was
made to pass the first section
The new section Is somewhat the same
as that Of Friday, but publication OF M
formation that "is'' valuable to the enc
my Is substituted for Information that
may be- Of value. Again, the oompro-
mise OF yesterday would not prevent
publication OF information regarding
equipment. The President Is empowered
to cite the kind OF information which Is
ot no value to the enemy. Publication
OF the same Is then permissible.
Administration supporters were very
optimistic over the probable success Of
this amendment They said It had re-
moved the power Of the President to pre-
scribe censorship regulations. For this
reason. they expected the opposition
would dwindle.
Disappointment met them, though,
when they Interviewed various Senators
and Representatives. !

represent the system as originally de-
developed. Many similar chains have
been placed In operation. FoodstufKs are
distributed by numerous chain store sys-

local concerns, though the Acme Tea
Company, Jewel Tea Company, American
stores Corporation, Jones Brothers' Tea
Company, and Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea Company are well known publicly
owned corporations. whose securities are
widely distributed among investors. The
tobacco trade Is represented by the
United Cigar Stores, and in the drug busi-
ness the uggett-Riker-H -Hegeman and ow,
stores form, perhaps, the best known
chains
The chain-especially the and l0-cent
ones-depends on very small pront per
article on a large volume OF business
