CHICAGO + Elizabeth Pickettl formerly of oak Park, Chicago suburb, has invaded another field formerly ruled by men.
 She is movie director, one of the few women in Hollywood who wield the megaphone.
 Miss Pickett's greatest success has been directing animal pie lures. As a child she loved ani. mals of all sorts. but there was no thought of a career on the Hollywood film lots when she ct tended high school in Oak Park and Wellesley College. She spe- cialized in English and drifted into movie directing by way of film editing and scenario writing, which she still does.
 She wrote Wolf Fangs" and Wings of the Storm" Some of the films she directed include "The Salmon Run," Under Colo rado Skies" and My Old Ken lucky Home.

One of the peculiar features of the
freeze is that old orchards which
because of diminished vitality ought
to suffer the most have really stood
the cold weather better than young
orchards. In examining their or

that while some varieties have been
hard hit by the cold, others in adj
Joining orchards have stood it bet

The snow is good for wheat and
will retard any such cereal that had
begun to grow prematurely.
Apple growers are not concerned
about the low temperatures. It ap-

trees can Withstand a temperature
down to 40 degrees below zero with
out being harmed at this season of
the year.
W. T. Derickson, Director of Blu

ards in Kent county and found some
peach buds which were black, indi-
eating that they were dead. This
did not prevail generally

no great damage has been done to

ADVISES CARE in AUTO

way. 1t is not in high speed alone
that the danger lies, however. Even
at a moderate rate, cars get out of
control if not operated with due
regard to the nature of the traction
afforded.
"Quick application of the brakes
is likely to produce a disastrous
skid. This is particularly true when
brakes are not equalized. By brak-
ing with the engine in gear, the
driver greatly reduces the POSSIBLE
ity of skid. Practice of many driv-
ers in throwing out the clutch and
applying the brakes has been re-
sponsible for many accidents.
while the main travelled high
ways are open to traffic, thanks to
the efficiency of the State Highway
Department, it is a mistake for
drivers to assume that they can OPP
crate the same as under summer
conditions. One never knows when
another car is going to appear sud-
denly from side road, necessitat-
ing a quick stop that in all proba-
bility cannot be made because of the
lack Of traction.
Winter driving can be made safe
by observing the simple rules of
caution and courtesy, coupled with
capable handling"

then sent to the officer of the school
who locked it with all the others

At the same time the home rooms

difference, that in each group of
high school students assembled for
roll call, cashier had been ap-

receiving, counting and delivering
the money to the officer. These stu

State Board of Education that oul

ed in this school project and if we
can persuade these nine districts in
turn to do the same thing, we can
secure our new school buildings for
Milford.
Our Responsibility
We must bear in mind that there
are at the present time eight pro-
posed school buildings, four in
Kent county and four in Sussex, and
people in other parts of the state are
aggressively after this money and
support from the state. Therefore,
it would seem to your committee
that the Chamber of Commerce
should use its influence to interest
all the local organizations and in
situations in an effort to secure this
greatly needed educational plant.
However, this must be done diplo-
matically, so that our community
will enthusiastically cooperate in
1909 way for the consummation of
this project.
Speakers For A MaSS-Meeting
The committee offered to support
the school board in their activities
to secure this school building, and
at this meeting the school board
completed arrangements for a town
meeting to be held in the Commun-
ity Building in Milford, where the
citizens of Milford particularly, or
any outsider if interested, be invited
to attend. Mr.. Harry V. Holloway,
commissioner of education and sec
rotary of the State Board of Educa- |
ton, and Mr.. John Shilling, State |.
superintendent of high schools, have /
promised us that they will speak at .
such a meeting.
A Visit To The School
1t was suggested also that a COM
mittee visit the school on Thursday
morning, February 8, and that Mr..
would ask the teachers to
to the children that this
was present for the pur-
pose of looking into the possibilities
or a new school, in the hope that
he children reporting this at home
night interest their parents to the
Joint where they would attend the
Meeting.
Committee Authorized To Prepare
Program
In the meantime, the committee i
vas invited by the school board to
repare a program for that meeting
nd to send out whatever advertis- |
lg was necessary which the COM &
littee agreed the Chamber of Com f
lerce would pay for. {
