TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES

Delaware, it appears, has
landed again at Washington,
as two camps of the Civilian
Conservation Corps will prob
ably be assigned to Delaware.
Among other things these
camps of 200 young men each
will give their whole time to
cleaning up the salt marshes
in the hope that the mosqui-
toes will be routed. A Della
ware delegation recently pre-
sented a strong case to Direc-
tor Fechner at Washington.
There is a thorough belief
that through such camps pro-
gress can be made in routing
the mosquitoes.

AGAINST INITIATION

Delaware bankers have
gone on record as being unal-
terably opposed to any meth
cd of artificial initiation that
would debase the currency of
the United States or would
lessen the purchasing power
of the American dollar. They
took that action at the annual
meeting Of the Delaware
Bankers Association in Re-
hoboth held recently. The
stand taken by our bank
ers on the dollar was not,
however, due to any lack Of
loyalty to President Roose-
welt and the Federal admins
tration in dealing with the
present economic emergency.
That was indicated clearly by
the fact that at the same
meeting another resolution
was adopted commencing the
general policies of the Feder-
al administration and pledg-
ing earnest support to the
President. Those things they
well might do without giving
countenance to any debase-
ment of the American dollar,
upon the value and honesty
of which all Delaware bank
ing is founded.

They Need Magazines and Other Reading Matter For Their
Rest Hours and Sport Article ETC.,
For Recreation

The young men in the government
reforestation corps in this territory
are in need of material to relieve the
dullness of the hours when they are
not working.
Persons who visited the camps just
established at New Germany and at
Potomac Manor in Garrett county yes
terday have asked that an appeal be
made, through The Republican, for
magazines, newspapers, books and
other good reading matter and such
articles as jig saw puzzles to while
away the lonely hours when they are
not working in the forests.
They need sports goods such as
baseballs, bats, gloves, horse shoes
and other articles for outdoor play.
1t seems they stop work in the after
noon at 5 o'clock and have several
daylight hours in camp for rest and
recreation. The government does not
supply any equipment for recreation.
