William C. Lofand, Sr., aged 81
years, died at 8:45 o'clock last Mon

March l. Mr.. Lofand was stricken
with influenza and grip which was
followed by infection which caused
his death He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. F'redonia Lofland and one daugh-
ter and a son, Mrs. Frank Carter, of
Lewes, and DR.. William c. LOfand,
Jr., of Baltimore, Md.
AIr. Lofland was born in Milton, Del,
and at the age of 21 years engaged in

COLORED PARENT-TEACHERS
ARE TOLD In STATE CONVENTION OF
PLAN FOR COOPERATION OF RACE.

Delegates of sixty cOlored Parent
Teacher Associations of the State held
their first annual convention in Har-
ringtOn last Saturday. The convention
was largely attended.
Mrs. J. B. Cleaver, of Middletown,
president of the State Parent-Teacher
Association, addressed the delegates.
For the first time, delegates from
the Negro schools of Delaware are
assembling in a Parent Teacher con-
vention," she said. GAS the State
President of this association, 1 wish
to welcome you and congratulate you
upon the beginning you have made
in this work. The new constitution,
adopted two weeks ago, is the result,
in the main, of an effort to provide
fairly for the associations which have
been growing up during the last year
in cOlOred school districts. The COM
mittee on the revision of the consti-
tuition had little to guide it in work
ing out the relationship which should
exist between the local white and the
local cOlOred associations.
Delaware is, perhaps, the first state
to attempt to solve this problem. We
believe the, present plan, based upon
the idea which prevails in the State
Department of Education-a common
treasury with common officers, but
separate group meetings and conven-
tiOn-will prove fair and satisfactory
to all concerned.
THE whole nation is watching the
situation in Delaware at the present
The Negro population in this
State is being given splendid schools.
Will they, as a people, measure up to
them? The Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion is here to help you make the most
of all these things"
others who addressed the conven-
ton were: Professor John NJ. Candy,
of the Virginia Normal and Industrial
Institute, of Petersburg, Va; Richard
Watson Cooper, director of the Bur-
eau of Education of the Service Citi-
zens; and a reading of Dunbar poems,
by Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, editor
Of Advocate. The musical program

PLANNING TO HELP
DELAWARE FARMERS
Mr.. DERRICKSON OF THE BUREAU OF
MARKETS WILL WORK FOR BETTER
FRUIT AND PRODUCE PRICES.
OPEN OFFICE IN STATE HOUSE
HIS FIRST WORK WILL BE TOWARDS
PROPERLY MARKETING OFSTATE'S
PROSPECTIVE FRUIT CROP.

w. L. Derrickson, now of Milford.
assumed management of the Bureau
OF Markets of Delaware, this week.
ana at once inagurated a campaign
for the better marketing of the crops
OF the State. An office has been op-
ened In the State House at Dover and
is being fitted for this purpose under
the direction of the State Board of
Agriculture of which the bureau of
markets is a division. In order to
dliferentiate between the federal and
State bureau it has been decided to
name the Delaware institution, Divis-
ion of Markets, as it is properly a di-
vision of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. The division was created under
an act of the last Legislature.
Mr.. DerricksOn, who has been TAX
ing a special course at Washington,
d. c., under the federal bureau to
prepare himself for this work. has
made his home in Milford as he deem
ed it was about the central part of the
fruit and agricultural interests of the
State.
Mr.. Derrickson in a statement says
his first work will be towards prop
er marketing of the prospective Del
aware fruit crop, and that a special
effort will be made to standardize
the grades and packages, and al
though, in his opinion it would take
considerable time to accomplish this,
he hoped to make some progress in
the next few months. Most of the
Delaware fruit and produce has been
going into market without any stand
and brokers purchasing the
Delaware product were never sure of
what they were buying until after op-
ening and examining the package
The Bureau of Markets hopes to es-
tablish with fruit and produce first,
second grade and culls of a known
and instead of some farmers
shipping the same crop in hampers,
