WELFARE AGENCIES URGED

DIR. CHARLES L. CANDEE TO
ACT AS CHAIRMAN OF BODY
Governor Writes to Eight Boards
and Commissions in Charge of
Institutions Outlining Plan

Formation of body to be known
as The Central Welfare Commits
sion with the purpose of efecting
a closer cooperation between the
various institutions of that char
acter in Delaware, is being urged
by Governor Buck. His first step
in the project was taken recently
when he wrote to eight boards and
commissions in charge of institu-
tions or activities supported either
wholly or in part by the State, out
lining his plan for a Central Wei
fare Commission, and suggesting
a conference on the formation of
such an organization. The Gov
ernor, after receiving letters from
the eight organizations to which
he wrote, all of whom endorse the
purpose of the meeting he propos-
ed. asked the Rev. Id. Charles l..
Candee, as president of the State
Board of Charities, to serve as
temporary chairman and call a
meeting and organize the new Cen
tral Welfare Commission. The
Rev. DR.. Charles L. Candee, presi-
dent of the State Board of Char
tiles, conferred Friday morning
with Governor Buck and accepted
the latter's invitation to serve as
temporary chairman to call q
meeting for organization of the
new Central Welfare Commission
81 am of the opinion that much
good could come to the different
welfare institutions of the State il
closer cooperation was maintain
ed between the several homes" the
Governor stated in his letter to the
eight boards or commissions. Ii
the latter part of July Governor
Buck wrote to the following boards
outlining briefly his desire to bring
about a closer cooperation be
tween them: Delaware Colony fol

Industrial School for Colored Girls
New Castle County Workhouse

Not Easy to Calculate
Cost OF Writing Letter

Just what it costs to write a
letter Is not known to nine out
Of ten business men. If they ever
think of 1t they figure the postage
and the cost Of the stationery and
let II go at that. Really the post
age is an Insignificant item In the
cost Of a letter.
An efficiency expert recently in
quired of 5S concerns about the
cost of their letters and it was
learned that only IA had any def
mite idea on the subject. The aver
age cost as figured by these four
teen firms was between 35 and 40
cents. With an average salary Of
S45 a week for the dictator and
$40 for the stenographer who turns
out 80 letters a day and with the
dictator using six minutes per let
ter the cost was 35.0S and 96.07
cents per missive. according to the
cost OF the stationery.
When the boss worth $4,000 or
$4,000 a year does the debating
and uses a SEQ per week secretary
the letter will cost close TO 81.
Some letters written by hand cost
thousands and thousands Of dol
lars. Love notes, for instance,
have had a cost that depends on
the minds of the jurors hearing
the damage suit--Bob Holland in

ASHEVILLE N c., August 26.--Luke

Superior Court yesterday were his son,
Luke Lea, jr.. and Wallace b. Davis,
president of the defunct bank. Lea,
jr., was fined S25, 900, including $4,000
court costs, and Davis was sentenced
to serve four to six years in prison.
Today. however, Judge Barnhili
changed the sentence Of Lea, jr., from a
fine of SIS 900 to two to six years in
prison or a SIS 600 fine. the prison SEN
tence to be suspended upon payment OF
the fine.
Judge Barnhill allowed 90 days for
preparation of appeals. He fxed bonds
at $4,000 for Luke Lea, $4,000 for
Luke Lea, ir.. and $4,000 for Davis.
Should appeals fail the elder Lea and
Davis would serve their time In State
Prison at Raleigh. Davis already faces
a five-to-Seven-year sentence there IN
connection with the failure of his bank.
E. p. Charlet, business associate OF
the Leas, was acquitted.
The failure of the Central Bank &
Trust Co. last Fall came shortly after
the collapse OF Caldwell & Co. Nash
vile banking firm, with which Lea was
closely identified. A large number OF
banks in several Southern States closed
with the Caldwell crash.
Lea and Davis combined forces to
aid each other, only to be caught in
the midst OF what States attorneys
termed "frenzied finance" Evidence
OF "kiting" was introduced at the trial,
along with plans formed by the pair
to organize a banking combine from
which they would be able to withdraw
enough to stem the collapse of their
varied business interests.
