Tacoma's Children

The boys and girls of our town,
considering the conditions are very
well behaved. A few delinquents
are found here and there of course,
but mostly from idleness or pure
mischief. Few, il any, OF our Ia
coma boys and girls have become
criminals. Most of the parents here,
while belonging to the poorer classes
of the population, and having to
work for a living under difficulties,
have done very well in the rearing
of their boys and girls in this city.
Time and again, both in this
paper and when we were one Of the
editors of The Searchlight, we have
urged that some provision be made
on our part for the boys and girls
of our group. Tacoma has been
and still is very liberal along color
lines in the activities of the children,
yet about some of the things pro-
vided by public spirited individuals,
as well as by public taxation, either
close the doors in the faces of these
children or display toward them so
hostile an atmosphere, that the
child cannot develop the spirit of
cameraderie and friendship that is
so necessary at the points of con-
tact with the children of the other
race.
Several times, the pastors of the
Allen A. M. E. church have at
tempted to gather the children into
clubs for social and athletic pur-
f, IN a. nj In thnfr
hold upon them for good, but the
parents do not seem to understand
and after a few weak attempts all
effort has been abandoned to help
the younger boys to keep out OF
mischief. The men of our group
out here in the west and in Tacoma
in particular, seem to be sadly in.
different and wholly lacking in pub
lie spirit. To obtain a living for
ones self and family Of course, well
nigh takes all of the time of most
of our men, but still, he that helps
to care for the child of his neighbor
does his own children a good in
this, for what avail will it be II
while my own child is we'll, / per-
nit my own child to be sick from a
contagious disease. And mischief
for children is contagious disease
which ripens into lawlessness and
trouble. Among the other race
there are several societies among
the men to look after the boys;
some make a lifetime work of II
and it is good. No one expects us
to do SO much but a better spirit
might be shown by our men toward
those boys, whose parents may need
our assistance in their care, espe'
cially boys without fathers.

JAPANESE BEETLE RESTRIC-
TIONS IN DELAWARE

An extension of the boundaries OF
the area under quarantine in the
State of Delaware, because of the
Japanese beetle menace has been an
nounced by Gov. Robert P. Robin
son. This order, in the form OF
proclamation, will take effect June
IS, and is made under power vested
in the governor by Senate bill No.
80, passed by the last legislature.
The quarantine line under the
new plan is extended to the southern
boundary of Red Loin hundred,
which lies in the center of the Ches-
apeake and Delaware canal. The
hundreds, previously under quaran-
tine and which are included this
year are: Wilmington, Brandy
wine, Christiana, New Castle and
Red Lion
1t was found to be necessary to-
extend the restricted limits this year
because a number of the pests were
found in Red Lion hundred last year
which indicated that they were
spreading. Twenty men are 10 De
employed as inspectors to guard the
highways in the quarantine area
against any violators of the rulings
of the United States department OF
agriculture and the state. Last
year IS were used.
The quarantine covers farm, gar
den and orchard products, including
cut flowers, hay and straw. Sweet,
white potatoes and watermelons are
exempt from the ban, which will
continue in force until Oct. ID.
None of these products may be NOV
ed out of the quarantined area UNI
less certified as free from the pest.
Senate bill No. 30, section 3, pas
sed by the 1927 Legislature provides
that ANY person, copartnership, as
ISOLATION or incorporation, violating
the quarantine regulations establish
ed under this act shall be fined from
$40 to $780,"

PoPPY-THE MEMORIAL
FLOWER

The Auxiliary Unit of Cecil Post
No. Is, American Legion, has
charge of the distribution of the
Poppy in the county again this
year. The Poppy is the Memorial
Flower of the American Legion and
Auxiliary, and each year through
these organizations the public is
given the opportunity of purchasing
these flowers to wear as a tribute to
those who gave their lives in the
Great War.
The sale of the peoples affords
two-fold benefit. The flowers them
selves are made by disabled veterans
who have an opportunity in this way
of earning something toward the
support of themselves and their fam
lilies: while the proceeds go partly to
the National headquarters of the
Auxiliary, and partly to the local
unit. The entire proceeds however,
are devoted to the welfare work of
the organization among the needy
ex-service men and their families.
1t is planned to nike the sale of
the Poppy county wide and in this
endeavor, the Auxiliary has the able
assistance of the following woman's
clubs; Appleton, Calvert, Colora,
Earleville. Hopewell, Liberty Grove,
Rowlandville, Warwick, lakewood.
