DU POINT POLL SHOWS
HUGE MAJORITY FOR
REPEAL OF KLAR Law

final count, Mr.. DUPONT said in his
statement, only those containing a
direct "yes" or mo" reply being
classified.
''The response" he added, "has
been most gratifying and far beyond
expectations cOnsiding the type of
question and the fact that the ques-
tionnaire did not have the official
endorsement of any State or munich
pal executives.
"The overwhelming sentiment in
favor of the Klair law repeal is par
ticularly significant when you con-
slider that the 39,424 people who re-
turned their questionnaires marked
yes is equal to 57.7 per cent of the
6S,293 votes cast in the 1926 "off-
year election"
The dry" organizations, Mr.. du-
Pont said, in all probability will
claim that all those not answering
the QUESTIONABLE are in favor of re-
tanning the Klair Law.
"Such claim" he said, "if made,
will not be true nor well-founded.
Reports from all parts of the State,
as we'll as an investigation made by
those in direct charge of the ques-
tionnaires indicate that many hun
dreds of people favorable to the
Klair Laws repeal did not reply to
the QUESTIONABLE for various rea-
sons.
MANY of the replies that could
not be classified, a large number of
which were received from influen-
tial citizens, favored amending the
Klair Law to permit the doctors to
prescribe medicinal Liquor" Mr.. du-
Pont said.
Mr.. DUPONT reiterated in his state
ment his previous statement con-
cerning the petitions which will be
presented to the Legislature.
He said that all persons who re-
turn their questionnaires up until
the convening of the Legislature,
will have their names put on either
of the petitions if they so desire.
The questionnaires are still being
received by Mr.. duPont's office and
the "late comers" will be tabulated
periodically and the results an

SUSSEX SCHOOL MAKES
COURSE PAY ITS WAY
CONTINUED from Page u

There have been enrolled in the
Seaford department of vocational
agriculture during the past 10 years
143 boys-94 of whom have beer
farm reared. OF this group n per
cent are still engaged in agricul-
tural lines, while of the 49 town boys
only 8 per cent are at present en-
gagged in agricultural work.
The profits from the projects
raised by these boys total $21 ,S94.01
of which 20,160.11 has been made
nv the farm-reared boys. This gives
an average profit of $252 for each
farm boy and $42.50 for each town
boy. -.
Of those finishing agriculture 16
have gone on to college.
These results, as obtained by Mr..
Mowlds. are most gratifying to those
interested in agriculture for as long
as we are able to keep over rs per
cent of our farm youth remaining
ON the farm, and taking up the
scientific as well as the practical
side of agriculture while in school,
the outlook for the future farmers is
far from gloomy one.
This 10 year summary also shows
that. as a general rule, it is unad-
visable for town boys to take agri-
culture since only 8 per cent remain
in agricultural lines over a period
of 10 years. 1t seems advisable for
our school systems to try and fit the
pupils to those subjects which we
find them best ADAPTED.

STRAW VOTE INDICATES
DELAWARE IS DRY
(Continued from Page u

Delaware is classified as follows:
For prohibition as is, rs; for gov
ernment sale of light wines and
beers, SO; for government sale of
hard liquor, As; for return of the sa-
loon, %; for private sale at nom
drinking places, "a; for stricter en-
forcement, 383.
Commenting, The Pathfinder says:
First and foremost, it would seem
that the nation is still dry at heart.
At any rate, it is in the rural regions,
which after all hold the balance of
power. This should please the drys.
But the fact that nearly four times
as many votes were polled for strict
er enforcement (214,87S) as for pro-
hibition as is (57,953) would indicate
that a great many people are dissat-
isfied with present conditions, which
may or may not be encouraging to
the vets.
"If we had simply asked whether
people believed in prohibition with
adequate enforcement, we would not
be able to make the rather startling
report that less than $4,000 of the
returns favor prohibition as is as
against nearly 215,OOO urging strict
er enforcement"

WhirLs OF Winter

The social activities Of the past
week have been few, and of a decid-
edly different nature from those us
ually reported in this column. This
week we have an oriental tea, a
family dinner and a quilting party.
Each was very enjoyable. Probably
it is a good thing to get away from
cards for while, the playing later
will be all the more enjoyed, Time
was when cards weren't the usual
order of the evening, and calling
was prevalent. Who in Milford can
not remember the cordial welcome
they were sure of, when visiting Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph E. Holland? No one
enjoyed company more than they
and the guests always left with an
invitation for an early return ring
ing in their ears. With Mr.. Hol-
lands passing on Saturday another
hospitable household of Milford's
social world is closed. We regret
each one.
"
March came in like a lamb but
since that it has shown many moods,
chief among them being winds at a
high pitch. But half of it is gone
and Temperamental April will be
the next. We will just grin and the
days that are not so pleasant and
remember the Gentle May will soon
be here.

The 1920" Bridge Club was the
guest of Mrs. Robert Hall this week
with all members present.

Seventy-fve hundred candidates
will be enrolled this year in the
Second Corps Area, which includes
New York State, New Jersey and
Delaware. OF this total, Kent cOun-
ty will be allocated a prOportionate
share, based on population and on
certain government policies govern
ing mileage the candidates would
have to cover to attend the camp of
their choice.
Dates and locations of the G. M.
T. Camps for which local youths
may apply were announced by Mr..

racks and Fort Niagara, N. Y, both
