THE PORTUGUESE
TAKE A HAND

An interesting and significant
meeting was held on Fridayseven-
ing at the Lihue Armory, in
the interest of the Red Gross and
food conservation work among our

Nobriga, Mr.. John Raposa and
others, for a mass meeting of the
Portuguese in order that the aims
and purposes of these great move
ments might be explained to them,
and their interest and cooperation
elected.
Considering the very short notice
that could be given the response
was surprisingly general, there
being some three hundred present
including quite large contingents
from other parts of the Island es-
pecially from Eleele including also
"A goodly representation Of the Eng
lish speaking community of Lihue,
who wished TO show their interest
and cooperation in the movement.
Mrs. J. NJ. Lydgate having been
selected to represent the Red Cross,
gave a simple but effective object
lesson talk on the work that was
being done locally for the benefit of
the Society, showing samples of the
work and assuring the Portuguese
ladies that they could be of great
assistance to the cause. Mr.. SAN
tos translated this and the other
addresses very effectively into classic
Portuguese.
In the interest of Food Conserva-
ton Mr.. Lydgate outlined the war
situation and explained how we
could all help without going to the
front or carrying gun-by con-
serving food and helping to feed
our Allies who were fighting for us.
Miss Elsie Wilcox of the Wo-
men S Food Conservation committee
gave much valuable practical in
formation as to ways in which food
might be saved and substitutions
made which would release wheat
and other food desired by the Allies.
Mr.. Santos, speaking first in
English, gave a good deal of in
teresting Information as to what
Portugal was doing in the war, and
as to what his compatriots on these
Islands were doing in the Red Cross
work, Food Conservation, etc. A
Red Cross drive" now on, had
secured over $4,000 for the good
cause. with the outer Islands still to
be heard from. He assured his
audience that the Portuguese were
not slackers and that they would
10 their duty almost to a man
along side of their fellow citizens of
the other races.
The Kapaia Band contributed
very materially to the interest of
the occasion by rendering several
fine selections. Altogether it was
an interesting and helpful meeting
significant of growing community
spirit.

ON SATURDAY
Three Members Board Of Ed
ucation To Be Elected

AS the result of legal advice Sc
cured by Secretary Harvey Hof-
fecker, of the Board of Education,
relative to the condition following
the failure of the voters of the dis
trict to organize and hold an cleo
tion on April 28th, as posted, a
special election will be held this
coming Saturday, May 18th.
Under the laws governing the
local school elections candidates
are required to file their names for
membership on the board ten days
before the election. At the time
of the election first scheduled the
terms of Robert Gallaher, pres
ident, and Edward l.. Richards ex-
pired and both filed their names
for reelection without any opposi-
tion. Orlando Strahorn filed his
name for membership on the board
to succeed DR.. Joel S. Gilfillan, re-
signed, and he was the only cam
didate in his district. Just one

ganization of the new Board,
teachers will be elected for the

lot revealed represented a small
percentage of the club, members of

method proposed by the building
committee, to cover the indebted

RHODES in TRAINING
AT NEWPORT
Letters Describe Life Of Yeo-
man

w. Albert Rhodes, son of Mrs.
Ruth Rhodes, who some days ago
enlisted in the Navy as a yoeman,
is located at the Newport Naval
Training Station, R. l., and in let
ters to his mother explains in de-
tail the routine life of the begin
ners at the Station. For some days
after arriving the recruits were
kept in the detention camp, that
being customary with new men.
There was nothing to do in this
camp, he says, but eat, sleep and
drill and then drill some more.
Six hours day is put in drilling.
While the eats, according to Yoe-
man Rhodes, are not just what one
usually gets at home, yet they all
relish the food by the time meal
times arrive and eat heartily. The
day starts at 5 o'clock when all
leave their hunks and take a
shower bath. After breakfast the
recruits put on boots and scrub
the decks. Drill lasts from 9 to
1l.30 o'clock in the morning and
from l to 8 in the afternoon. The
first letter received by Mrs. Rhodes
from her son was mailed last Fri
day and he said it was very cold
there then. Most of the recruits
that he went to the station with
are former medical students, bank
clerks, etc.
In later letter received by Mrs
Rhodes, her son states that he was
out of the detention camp and was
in the Yoeman school. He states
that "Bilr" Garrett, another re-
cruit from Wilmington, is his bunl
fellow. He is getting used to the
routine and thinks the class tha
he is in will be rushed through
in their preliminary training work

POULTRY EXTENSION
WORKER APPOINTED
Urge Delawareans To Increase
Egg Production

Miss Clara Nixon, recently ap-
pointed by the trustees of Della
ware College Women's County
Agent for Sussex, left the Wo-
mems College on Monday for Sea-
ford, where she will make her
headquarters in the future. Miss
Nixon will be known as extension
worker and much of her work will
be in connection with poultry
husbandry. She had been appoint
ed under the Smith-Lever fund, her
duties to begin July first, but ow-
ing to the campaign for increased
food production, being conducted
throughout the State, Miss Nixon
was summoned at once, her salary
for the intervening months, hav-
ing been provided by private sub
scription. Her principal duty for
the present will be to urge the rails
ing of more poultry.
Miss Nixon is graduate of Cor
nell University and took her mas
ter's degree at the Washington
State Agricultural College. For a
number of years she was instruc-
tor in poultry husbandry at Cor
nell and is one of the leading wo-
men poultry experts in the country.
She is fine speaker and comes to
Delaware we'll recommended.
This position to be filled by Miss
Nixon is one just created, and is
expected to be followed soon by
similar agents for Kent and Sussex
and also for Wilmington. In the
Emergency Appropriation bill,
now pending in Congress-, there is
clause providing for women
county agents. If this bill passes,
winch seems sure, $4,000 will be
set aside annually for this kind of
work in Delaware. The work would
come under the extension depart
ment of the Women's College of
