RELIEF BODY PLANS SURVEY
Governors Committee Asks $4,000
For Probe of Housing Conditions

An inclusive survey of unemploy-
ment and housing conditions in
Delaware was tentatively mapped
out yesterday at a meeting of Gov
ernor Bucks Emergency Relief
Committee in the Governors Of
flee at Dover. The survey of hous-
ing conditions according to pres
ent plans, will be carried on by
means of a special sum of $4,000
from the emergency relief fund.
The Committee decided to ask the
Governor to set aside this much
from the fund. It was not stated
when the survey will be started,
the committee evidently waiting
for the Governors decision on the
request for the money. Just what
factors would be considered in the
survey and how it would be con-
Quoted were not divulged. The
committee adopted a resolution
commencing all relief organiza-
tions in various towns and COM
munities throughout Delaware, and
urged that their work be contin-
ued- The continued necessity for
local self-aid was stressed. The
survey of unemployment will be
conducted principally through the
mayors of towns and cities in the
State. Each mayor will be asked
to submit to the committee, pre-
sumably before the next meeting
on July ID, report on labor con-
ditions in his community. An eff
fort will be made to have all es-
sential details included in these re-
ports. The work of the commits
sion for active relief, it is under
stood, will be based on the infor-
nation furnished by the mayors
and the survey of housing condi-
tions.

of Paul Adams-AWards Made


Paul Adams, a life saving swim
ming instructor of Wilmington,
was in Smyrna all of last week
conducting classes and swimming
tests under the auspices of the

est was shown. There were rigid

ior Class and on down to the little
tots. The seven seniors who made

saving emblems and certificates
were: F. Louise Hoffecker, Thelma

lin Hardesty. Only five of the
junior class passed their tests.
They were Sara Brewster Jones,
Emily Arthurs, Dorothy King,

POSTAGE ON LETTERS
MAILED, GOES INTO EFFECT TO-DAY

The new three-cent stamp, sue
ceeding the veteran two-center as
king of the American postage fam
lily, went into nationwide service
to-day. Printed in the purple of
royalty and bearing the familiar
Stuart portrait of Washington, it
will carry the expectations of gov
ernment officials that increased
revenue will eventually take the
worlds largest business out of the
red. Two other varieties of three
cent stamps will be used-the cur
rent three-cent Lincoln stamp of

cent stamp of the Washington BIZ

centennial series which will be con-
tinued in service until the issue is
withdrawn at the close of the pres
ent year. The new three-cent
stamp is identical in size and de-
sign with the two-cent stamp of
the Bi-Centennial series, except for
the change of denominational num-
erals and the omission of the dates.
Until the old two-cent stamps are
exhausted it is probable that they
will be sold locally with one-cent
stamp. Those having government
stamped envelopes of two-cent de-
nomination will use them up by
sticking a one-cent stamp thereon.

Michigan develops all five rudi-
lnents, but the successes gained by
the Wolverines because of supe.
riority in the kicking game have
been so consecutive as to become
almost monotonous.
This writer's hobby for years
has been the kicking game. prob
ably due to the fact that in his
playing days he was kicker, and
also because he spent number Of
years In the vicinity of Ann Arbor
and often watched and studied
Michigan'S football methods.
Consequently, what he has to say
on the score of the kicking game
may be discounted to a certain
extent.
It was felt that no team in the
District developed a kicking game
comparable, for instance, to that
Of Hap" Hardell's Tech High
team.
It seemed to this observer that
coaches in the District hesitated
to spare time to the development
Of the kicking game in all its
phases.
Utilize Punts 4g
: The use Of the punt as q
weapon Of offenSe was utilized to
some extent last year and this
year, too, by both G. w. and C. u.
and last year, and to some extent
this year, by Maryland. However,
the perfection of Michigan'S Of.
fensive punt was not approached,
and was probably not thoroughly
understood by football men in
this vicinity.
Good protection was offered
kickerS by local elevenS, but when
a field goal meant victory-aS
when Baker, Of G.. w., tried his
placement in the Oklahoma game
-imperfections in that protection
cropped out. ,.- .
It was particularly noted that
utilization of blocks in the line
by each of the District teams
was fairly clever. However, there
were occasions, such as the Baker
incident, when faults were re-
vealed, these faults illustrating
what is meant by failure to de.
velop the kicking game in all its
phases"

GRANT FROWNS
!. On GOLF BIDS

Lieut.. Col. U. s. Grant, 3rd,
District Public Buildings and
Public Parks director, is dissatis-
fled with the bids for concession
to operate the municipal golf
courses and has requested Comp
troller General McCarl to permit
him to reopen the bidding.
Only two bids were submitted,
one was that Of s. G. Loeffler,
who has operated the courses for
the past II years, and other was
made by the Hot ShoppeS, Inc.
The highest bid, $45, AGO, for a
three-year concession, was deemed
insufficient by Colonel Grant. The
bidders also failed to specify any
amount for a one-year lease.
Loeffler pointed out that a
one-year lease bid was impossible,
as it would cost nearly $4,000
to put the courses in shape.
