BallOting on the various motions
discussed at the special meeting OF
the Delaware State Bar Association
held Friday afternoon to consider
a resolution advocating the repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment and
the regulation of liquor by the sew
eral states indicated a pronounced
wet" sentiment.
An attempt to defer the resolution
to some future date was rejected by
a 81 to 10 vote. At no time, how
ever, was there any discussion of
the merits of the prohibition law it.
self. After some preliminary verbal
skirmishing between the lawyers on
points of parliamentary procedure
the question resolved itself into
whether it was advisable for the
Delaware State Bar Association as
body to take a stand on such a
controversial question.
The meeting was concluded by
decision to submit the question by
mail to all the members so that alb
sentees could register their senti-
ment. AS expressed by one of the
prominent advocates of the resolu-
tion, I'VE could have passed it Fri
day because we had a majority of
votes, but we thought it would be
only fair to give those who were
absent a chance to vote" He ex-
pressed confidence that the final vote

The original resolutions wording
was slightly changed. In stead of
declaring that ''it is the sense of the

read, "'Be it resolved that it is the
sense of this association that the
Amendment, the Volstead
Act and all orders and regulations
FOR the enforcement thereof should
be repealed and the subject of pro-
libitiOn be remitted to the sole reg
llation of the several States"
The preamble to this resolution,
which will also be mailed to all
members, condemns the Eighteenth
Amendment as "sumptuary legisla-

SANTA CLAUS
HERE SATURDAY
Will Have A Gift For The
Children At Plaza To-
morrow Afternoon

Hurrah! Hurrah! Glad tidings for
the kiddies; Can you guess the great
news? It's a special greeting from
Santa Claus with the message that
he will again be in Milford, before
Christmas Eve. On his visit here
last Saturday afternoon it was not
possible for him to personally greet
every one that had come here to see
him, so he has issued a proclama-
tion proclaiming that he will again
visit the City of Milford and will
be here next Saturday afternoon and
evening.
Special arrangements are being
planned so on the occasion of his
visit here next Saturday he will be
able to bring message to every
child that comes to see him.
To save time and avoid any delay
with the ceremonies he will not land
on this trip at the Haven Lake
Crossing but will come direct to the
New Plaza Theatre at Milford. After
2 o'clock Saturday afternoon he will
be entertained in the Plaza Theatre
and every child attending the chill
dren's matinee or the show in the
evening can personally great Santa
Claus and he will present every child
with a gift.
Preceding Santa's reception in the
New Plaza Theatre there will be a
parade headed by the Boys Band.
The parade will escort Santa Claus
through the business streets of the
town, ending at the Plaza Theatre.
He will take every child by the hand
and opening up his big pack will
give each one present that he made
in his work shop at the North Pole.
Special arrangements have been
made so that parents wishing to do
their shopping in Milford on Satur-
day afternoon may leave their chill
dren at the Plaza Theatre, where
they will be cared for during the af- |
ternoon show The show and Santa |
Claus visit at the Theatre will last
about two hours and a half, giving |
the parents considerable time to |
shop, if they do not wish to attend |
the matinee, and at the same time |
the kiddies can be out of the way !

Higher Standards Recon-

In Report To Trustees
WOULD FORM STATE
ADVISORY COUNCIL
Report Recommends That
Board Ask Legislature
For New Building

Higher standards for teachers
training are recommended in a re-
port to the Board of Trustees of the
University of Delaware by a special
committee of which former Federal
Judge Hugh NJ. Morris, a member of
the board is chairman.
This special committee has been
making a study of the situation for
several months and presents its re-
port with recommendation to the
board. The committee is of the opin
ion that the two year teacher-train-
ing course has served its purpose but
at present that is too short.
The consensus of the report is
that higher level of teacher-train-
ing must be adopted in this State to
keep step with other States and in
order that more benefits accrue to
Delaware's school system. Judge
Morris is his report points to the
strides that have been made in Del
aware during the past Is years in
improving the public school system
and gives the University of Della
ware its share of credit for this ad-
VdHceHleuC. Inc report states some
of the progress in Delaware in this
line during the last Is years has at
tracted national interest.
The committee in the report re-
commends the adoption of some
means of bringing about a closer in
tegration of the various teacher
training activities now being carried
on in several Independent depart
ments of the university, to prevent
overlapping or duplication in the
courses offered.
The report in speaking of the two
year teacher-training course declare
that experience here and in other
States shows that two years is too
short a time in which to prepare
teachers adequately even for ele-
schools.

board take steps to request the next

The prohibition troubles within
the Democratic Party have been stir
red again, this time by Senator
Sheppard of Texas, cO-authOr of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
He has addressed directly to Ma
tiOnal Chairman John J. Raskob, a
statement that Raskob's "endeavor
to involve the Democratic Party in
the prohibition controversy was the
most perilOus step that could be TAX
en in the face of the 1882 elections.
The Senator said this in answer
to the QUESTIONABLE sent by RaskOb
to some 10000 contributors to the
party's 1928 campaign funds, seek
ing to lineup sentiment for resub-
mission of the liquor issue. Prohi-
bition, Sheppard contended, has ac-
complished vast good, has more than
justified it's existence but has not
yet had sufficiently fair trial to JUS
tify submission of a proposal for re-
peal or alteration.
Simultaneously, from either side
of the prohibition fence came state
ments of organization leaders, dir
ected at Congress.

the National Prohibition Board of
Strategy, asserted Jouett Shouse,
executive secretary of the DemOcra-

not cOncede their opponents will

that three outstanding dry leaders,

"How much does it cost to pro-

very few farmers ever kept any cost

amount to farmers in their commu-

some of this corn was to keep a cost
account and thus get some estimate
as to the cost of producing one bu-
shell. Thirty-four farmers began
this project, the crops of five of them
were destroyed by pests of some
kind and of the twenty-nine others,

MACON, March An reck- on," says w. L. Young" Stribling, that I won't need much extra trainin' for this fight" referring to his world championship bout next June with Max Schmeling.
 This does not mean that the Georgia pride is not taking his title chance seriously.
 But it is the theory of his man ager, Pa" that Young" Stribling always is in good physical condi- ton and does not need as much training camp routine as the aver age fighter.
 Stribling's training camp for the Tuffy Griffith bout was of brief enough duration, but even that Jeff the fighter over-trained, in the opinion of Pa" Consequently ii is not likely that many weeks will be spent in camp knocking spar ring partners around the ring.
 Wood chopping, blowing, long tramps through the fields and ths woods on hunting expeditions anc other outdoor exercise keep ths challenger keen.
 The Stribling farm at Ocklocknet consists of 1,600 acres and there arc 1 a lot of chores for an able bodied chap on farm of that size. Strib- \ Hing gets his share of them.
