Clean Up Campaign

While it is bit early it may not be amiss
to call attention to Cleanup Week. Clean
Up-Week" so designated always seemed to us
a reflection on the community, yet these
events do a lot of good. We are living in
day of campaigns and drives and it seems to
take campaign to get things accomplish
ed. One would think every week would be
cleanup week. But unless Council provi-
sions are made, things do accumulate during
the winter months that are difficult and eX-
pensive of disposition. So let's all get ready
for Cleanup Week. Council usually pro-
vides carts on set and announced dates.
Incidentally good system has been put
in effect in one Of the down-State towns.
Council furnishes a wagon one day a week
to make the round of town, collecting ashes,
etc, free Of charge To make this effective,
frequent inspections are made Of all premises
and notice served. Failure to comply, the
Council through its Board of Health orders
immediate removal with necessary expense
charges to the offender. A report by neigh
Dor is kept strictly sub rosa but investigated
and given its merit. In the course of two
months or so, the town was literally cleaned
up and one team day week is all that is
necessary.
The expense is slight and considering the
health as we'll as the accommodation the
system has proved well worth while
Following our annual spring cleaning we
should like to see some such scheme tried out
here

Post Deliveries

We have received several complaints re-
Gently over delay in receiving copies of the
Post. In view Of these we wish to state the
following facts.
In our twelve years, we have never missed
but one publication day. This was due to
machine accident. Then, by working all
night our edition was delivered at the post
office at o'clock Thursday morning We'd
nesday is our publication date-and we are
very jealous of that date. Our paper is issued
on every Wednesday and not just weekly.
It's point of honor as we'll as policy of
business with us.
Town distribution should be made We'd
nesday evening or by first mail Thursday
morning-all Rural Routes and Whining
ton should receive their papers on Thursday.
Our readers would do us a great kindness
by notifying us of any delay in receiving
their copy in order that we may trace and
correct the same The Post is a Country
Weekly. 1t does not pretend nor desire to be
otherwise. But of all the quips and jokes on
the weekly, we are just as prompt and
punctilious of our date as our Metropolitan
friends. So, if your Post doesn't arrive on
schedule, let US hear from YOU

Does Education Paw

If you ever hear of boy or girl who
wants to quit school. when it is unnecessary;
if YOU ever hear of parents who are thinking
of putting their children to work, when it is
unnecessary, Just bring these figures to their
attention:
Every day spent in school pays the child
$500
Here is the proof, based on the wage scale
of 1913:
Uneducated laborers earn on the average
of $500 per year for forty years, total of
$4,000.
High school graduates earn on the aver
age of $1,000 per year for forty years, total
of $4,000.
This education required twelve years of
school of $50 days each, total of 2,l6O days
in school.
If 2,160 days at school add $4,000 to
the income for life, then each day at school
adds 1925.
The child that stays out of school to earn
less than $500 a day is losing money-not
making money.
These figures are based on an investiga-
ton made by DR.. A. Caswell Ellis of the Uni
versity of Texas, at the request of the U. S.
Bureau of Education.-Er.

STORY OF 4 CORN PEG,
4 FECD, AND ITS ILLUSTRA.
7ION ON AFFAIRS TOD4
Success or Failure of Principle SO oft defend
Trivial THINGS

! once we went to a "Shucking
party" down in Sussex County.
Now for those readers who have
never eaten turnip greens nor
have ever been to a "shucking
party" a word of explanation
should mingle with our SYM
pathy.
Before the days of Ostermoor
yes even before feather beds
were used anywhere except by
the old folks and in the spare
room, corn husks (shucks down
Ithere) were shredded when frost
dried and made into beds. The
Shredding was done by a corn
peg. The peg was of wood.
preferably oak, about five inches
long with the thickness of
heavy lead pencil and sharpened
at one end. In the center was
a leather loop which fitted ring
like over the second finger. This
was used to "shuck" corn-that
is what is known hereabouts as
husking. These corn shucking
parties were great events. A bit
OF contest for championship and
then cider, pop corn and smiling
girls in the old reel.
At the shucking parties in
mld-winter, a boy would get his
"shuckin'" peg from under the
mantle and a gay evening was
in store. In the old out kitchen
the floor was covered with the
clean shucks (outside leaves dis
carded) and the boys and girls
sitting on the floor before a
blazing fire would shred the
husks. Oh, and what a bed. it
made. Never slept on one?.

Oh, say, can YOU sing, from tts

What so proudly you stand tG

Strike up the grand tune an3
then torture and slay it.
How valiant they shout wher
they'xe first starting out,
out,
But the "dawn's early light

'Tis "The Star-Spangled Bar.
ner" they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words
of the precious, brave thing,
Hark, "the twilight's last CLEAN

But the valiant survivors pres

lhen you know not sleep. We
nave slept around bit, feather
beds, college mattresses, on pine
Stats, on open deck a thousand
miles at sea, in sleeper and
pension, yes in a spring corner
.of a sun-lazed fence-but for
real sleep, go up the back stairs
on a winters night and look up
through the shingles at the
stars-crawl into the rattle of a
shuck bed with a blanket and
buffalo robe over you-then YOU
will sleep. Steam heat. Oster-
moor, and electric fOOt1Carmer
Of this bob haired, Jazz and
Greenclch age-you kno,c not
Sleep!
We almost forgot our story in
our dreams of yester years. The
greatest feud we know. bitter
even to this day, was the result
OF the los of a corn peg at one of
these parties. Every boy had a
sort of knack at whiting and
no other peg had just quite the
right angle as his. He could do
better work with his own handi-
craft. 1t was the same touch
as the wheel of your car, your
press, or any machine you work
with. It becomes human. You
know its moods. They saw
every automobile has them. We
know hoes do and printing
presses and linotypes and pen
ellis and fountain pens. We'll so
do corn pegs. 1t was lost. Ac-
cusations were made. Words
passed. Men said things that
men say to their enemies-and
worse. All over a corn peg that
could be whitfield in an half
hour.
Thus began a family and COM
munity feud, now burning into
a second generation-all of
which reminds us of Political
principles and Job Seeking in
Delaware.
