STATE TO HAVE
FAIR PRICE FIXERS

According to statement mace
recently by District Attorney
James H. Hughes, the selection OF
men to serve as Fair Price Com
missioners for Delaware lis prov
ing somewhat of a problem. 1t is
rather difficult, he says, to get
men of the right calibre to serve.
81 am anxious to get men not
only fitted for the duties OF this
work but men in whom the public
has confidence" said Mr.. Hughes,
Yesterday, "and l am finding it
difficult to get the kind of men |
want" Many men who are fitted
for the task are too busy to ac-
cept a position requiring so much
time with no compensation, and a
rather unenviable task to say the
least"
81 am hoping, however, to be
able to make some announcement
along that line within few
days"

According to Reports Com
piled by the Delaware
Safety Council

One hundred and six accidents
for the period from July 16 to Au-
gust /, this year, were reported by
the statistics committee of the
Delaware Safety Council. OF these
thirty-three were caused by auto
mobiles, or to quote the report of
the committee, more properly
speaking, by automobile drivers"
In the cases of automobile acci-
dents, many incidents were noted
where boys, riding bicycles, were
struck by machines.
The safety council makes a
strong protest against promiscu-
Gus bicycle riding. 1t states:

American Red Cross to
Give Rural Help

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
1900 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
Ice Is to assist people to get out Of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one Of the
biggest needs In rural life. There is
lack OF sufficient play-llfe for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS result of community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service Is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

WILL PLAN TO ORGAN
IZE ALL COMMUNITIES
Parent-Teacher Association to
lnaugurate Drive in
October

The organization of communi-
ties throughout the State with the
school district as the unit, was
discussed and planned tentatively
at an all-day conference held in
Wolf Hall last Wednesday, when
representatives of the, Parent
Teacher Associations met with
the educational leaders and teach
ers assembled here in Summer
School.
Professor w. A. Wilkinson, di-
rector of the Summer School, ex-
tended a welcome to the delegates,
warmly commencing the purpose
of the conference and inviting the
organization to make their meet
ing an annual feature of the sum-
mer session. Mr.. Wilkinson en-
phasized the fact that all future
success depends upon the attitude
of the local community. 1--WE can
only go as fast as public opinion
functions" he said.
Mrs. John B. Cleaver responded
with reference to the crisis in the
educational situation which con-
fronts the nation, and urged every
one to take up the task and serve
for the love of the good which
they may do rather than because
Of stern duty.
Advises Combination of Small
Districts
THE program that the new Par
ent-Teacher organization stands
for" A. R. Spaid, State Commits
sioner Of Education, said, in ad-
dressing the conference, means
more than little program once a
month. 1t stands for a bringing
together into one group all the
various elements of a community.
1t is a difficult task and a teacher
not accustomed to leadership
should not attempt too many of
these meetings. l am not in favor
of community center-and that
is what we are asking form
every district. Some of our dis
tricts are too small to lead us to
suppose that such activities could
be carried on successfully in the
lone district. Rather let us plan
to unite adjoining schools, letting
the people Of the different dis
tricts take turns in planning the
programs. Above all we must find
leaders for every center. The min
ute the organization allows the
group assembled, which In fact is
merely mass meeting, to name
persons at random Tor officers,

gins; there must be a strong hand

of the community organization is
not to run a race with existing or
ganizations; it is not to do away
with any organization, but to take
any energy that is not working in
a community and develop it into
power" Mr.. Jump cited the ex-
perience of one teacher who did a
splendid piece of community
work, quietly and unostentatious-
ly, during the winter. What she
had accomplished was told simply
from the platform by a school Of
ficial Within a week six boards
had requested that teacher; she
accepted a position at an advance
in salary of 60 per cent. Mr.. Holle-
way recommended that the teach
er, in the parent-teacher associa
tion, could never be president;
that this responsibility rightly be-
longs to some one e:se. Miss Rich
raised the question "Is it right
that the teacher should be expect
ed to take the initiative in this
work."
methods of community organ
ization may be divided into three
classes, l believe" Miss Snyder,
secretary of the State Teachers
Association declared, "the best,
when the need Of such an organ
ization is felt by the community
and the initiative originates
there; the second, when the teach
er feels the need and sets the
stage for community development; !;
and the third and least desirable,
when everything is dead and the
only possible method is for the
teacher to force the issue"

Puts Forth Plea for Lonely
Teacher

W. B. Thornburgh, president of
the State Teachers Association,
made an appeal for the lonely
teacher and more attention to the
health of the child. "Many
teacher has been lost to COM
munity," he said, because she
has been excluded from the social
life of the district. Invite the
teacher to your home and give her
the glad hand" he advised, "and
there will be fewer vacancies in
our schoolrooms." Mr.. Thorn
burgh urged the Importance of
medical examination in the
schools. 'In the Dover school
this year." he said, 1929 children
were examined. Of these $40 were
found defective. 287 had enlarged
tonsils, 26S defective teeth, 80
adenoids, GA defective vision, a de
fective hearing, 35 spinal trouble,
Is suffered from malnutrition, 25
had affected heart, 25 affected
lungs, 6 suffered from post-ty-
phoid conditions. If the Parent
Teacher Association can be in
strumental in putting into every
community expert nurses for
every three or five months of the
school year, the health proposition
in the future will take care of
ITSELF" Mr.. Thornburgh said.

This aspect of the case apparently IL

STREET CAR MEN
OPPOSECHANGES
Want Traction Experts Views
on Proposed Reroute
Ordinance.

DR.. Henry Jameson. president OF the
board OF directors Of the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company, and John
Reynolds, secretary OF the Chamber of
Commerce, formed the sole opposition to
the proposed ordinance prohibiting the
operation Of street cars within the down
town district, when the city council
opened public hearings last night.
The ordinance, which was introduced
by Gustave &. Schmidt, president of the
council. is designed TO relieve the seri-
GUS traffic congestion IN the territory
bounded by Ohio street, Capitol avenue,
Maryland aud Delaware streets.
Several citizens. real estate men and
representa- lives of the Central Labor
Union appeared to back the measure
The real estate men favored the ordi-
nance because IL would enhance real
estate values in the now outlying sec
lions OF the business district, expanding
the retail section so as to give the city
a more metropolitan appearance
The labor union men and o. her citizens
in favor Of It said they believe it would
make It possible for them to get to and
from their work with less Inconvenience
and loss of time.
Or. Jameson and Mr.. Reyonlds stated
that they opposed any drastic change
in the present routing unless 1t were
based upon an exhaustive study of the
whole subject by experts.
Practically all OF those favoring the
ordinance said they believe that several
cross town lines should be established
with the new loop.
