It is estimated that the pack of toma-
toes is only about seventy-fve per
cent of what it was last year. The
Gamers have large stocks in hand
which cannot be disposed of ev Il

loading at a considerable loss. Yet
the plight of the Gamers is similar to
that of many manufacturers or deal
ers who have stocked up and are
I faced by declining market. In the

Improbable tomato season that has

In an interesting manner the report
presented at the meeting of the Ser
vice Citlzens of Delaware reviews the
work accomplished during the past
year, says the Morning News. "lt
is we'll to keep in mind the purpose of
this society which is to work for the
improvement of social conditions in
Delaware. No other state that we
can recall has an organization which
is so energetic and has so broad a
vision. The society covers a wide
scope as will be noticed from glance
at its various activities.
"Our people are familiar with the
Americanization Bureau and what it
has done with unfagging zeal. Some
years ago AmeIicanization was car
ried on in a desultory manner, not
properly supported, and often with
discouraging results because those
who were interested could not give il
sustained effort. All this changed in
a twinkling when the Service Citizens
put their shoulders to the wheel. They
have solved this problem of Ameri-
canization in the right manner. AnC
the response from those among whom
they have labOred has been gratifying
"From time to time the Health Bu
Smyrna times., 1920-10-27

eau has made reports showing pro-
gress, an improvement in sanitation
and the lowering of the death rate.
One important part in this branch has
been demonstrations and experiments |
and the Citizens have really done la
Dor which the State hsould do and
}ear the expense. This effort, how
ever, cannot fail to arouse the state as
a state to assist. In some instances
the appropriations from the State,
usually not sufficiently large, are sup
plemented by appropriations from the
Service Citizens.
"Another phase of the Service Citi-
zens' program is the Delaware Negro
Civic League and there is constant la
or for social betterment among the
olored people. The Delaware School
| Auxiliary Association has ever been
to the front practically and substanti-
ally aiding the schools. This assOcia-
lion is helping to solve the problem
of sufficient teachers well-fitted for
he schools. There has been cooper
alton with the Parent-Teachers Asso-
Citations. The School Association has
.dvanced funds for the survey of Oul
schools. The State College for col
ored students is not overlooked.
"These are some of the direct activ-
tiles of the Service Citizens. Above
everything else this organization
composed of representative persons
from all parts of Delaware, has Great
ed a lively interest among our people
in social betterment and has brought
home to them individual and state re
sponsibility. And it's labors are prac
tical in that they accomplish results
Fortunate indeed is Delaware tha
the State has such an organization
which prompted by motives of civil
patriotism is doing so much to benefi
our State.
