MILFORD BOY HAS NARROW
ESCAPE IN CANOE MISHAP

Frank Mick, 13-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. W. Mick of this
city had a narrow escape when he
went through the dam and over the
falls with a six-foot drop to the
spillway at Haven Lake on Thus
day last.
Mr.. Mick is principal of the Fred
erica schools. Young Mick and his
older brother, Felix, Jr., were out
in a canoe on Haven Lake and were
padding along the shore. Follow
ing the heavy storm of last week
the waters of the lake were greatly
swollen and the gates" on the dam
at Haven Lake crossing along the
State highway had been opened and
the water was rushing through to
the stream below. The bow of the
canoe swung into the current and
was drawn into the eddy despite
the efforts of the boys to pull away
from the flow. AS the canoe struck
the dam Felix secured a hold and
pulled himself up to safety. Frank
was drawn into the rush of water
and the canoe smashed against the
bridge.
Young Mick shot under the gates
and was drawn through the dam
where the water was running at
tremendous pressure. On the other
side the falls made a six foot drop
to the spillway. Frank took the drop
to the floor beneath the falls and
then swan through the swift run
ming current to. safety. The fact
that he is an extraordinary swim
mer, and the further fact that he
did not lose his head enabled the
boy to pull through alive with only
a few bruises.

WEATHER'S PATTERN SAME
FROM ONE MONTH TO NEXT

Abnormal weather tends to create
more abnormal weather, says the
Weather Bureau, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, which re-
Gently analyzed set of longtime
records for Iowa and adjacent
states. For example, the meteorolO-
gists point out, an unusually hot
June is more likely than not to be
followed by an unusually hot July,
and a colder than ordinary January
by February with an average tenn
perature below normal. This
weather sequence is most apparent
in midsummer and mid-winter, they
say, and the greater the abnormality
the more certain it is to repeat it
self. .-
In many states June gives the key
to the weather for the rest of the
summer. Thus the records for llli-
cases when June temperatures aver
age g or more above normal July
temperatures were also above nor
NAL, and in s out of IL cases when
June temperatures averaged 90 or
more below normal average tenn
peratures for July were below nor
NAL.
Nearly every otter-than-normal
June in Illinois has been followed
by a dryer-than-normal July and
each cooler-than-normal June by u
July having more than normal rain
fall. Over much of the Mississippi
Valley July precipitation is always
below normal if June temperatures
have been 90 to A. above normal.
In Iowa higher-than-normal tenn
peratures for June are a good indi--
cation of higher-than-normal tenn
peratures for the next three months.
In many states July weather has a
well-defined tendency to perpetuate
itself through August.
The January-February relation
ship, another important weather Sc
quence, was also brought ont in the
recent study. In many parts of the
country a cold January is more like
ly than not to be followed by cold
February and in several states
warm January is quite generally fol-
lowed by warm February.

APPLE TINE is HERE AGAIN
MOST VERSATILE OF ALL FRUITS

According to an old French tale,
there was once singing apple,
known as "the perfect embellisher
of wit" 1t would persuade by its
smell alone, and would enable the
possesor to write poetry or prose, to
make people laugh or cry, and dis
coursed such excellent music as to
ravish everyone.
OF course in these more sober
times, the practical housewife can't
expect her apples to cut such capers
i'm fact, it would be rather incon-
venient-but they'll surprise her by
their versatility just the same. Ac-
cording to the domestic science staff
of the new National Encyclopedia,
the apple is the most versatile of
all fruits" Apple sauce, apple pie
and apple cider are ranked first by
the encyclopedias. But there are
at least a dozen other ways of using
the apple which they rank very
highly. Now that apple time is here
again, these uses should be in every
woman's mind. But the encyclo-
pedists insist that the apple should
not be regarded as a seasonal fruit
it should be enjoyed the whole
year round.
Apple catsup, for instance, is
rated as "rich, spicy, delicious with
cold meats or hot" Apple butter
is especially good on fresh-made
bread" Then there is the whole
jelly clan-spiced apple jelly, sweet
cider jelly. crab-apple jelly and
new' cousin, ounce and apple jelly
with honey. There's apple jam, and
spiced apple sections put up in jars.
and apple-and-currant preserve, and
the unusual citron and apple mar
malade. AS as extra temptation, the
experts suggest gingered apple pre-
serve, which tastes as though it
came from somewhere east of Suez.'
Apples completely free from blem-
ishes should be used in full halves
for canning. Not-so-perfect apples
can be used for apple butter. Sweet
cider jelly is the simplest jelly in
the world to make" And so on
through a list of hundreds of recipes
for suing this particular fruit, with
the season just beginning.

PARK HUNTINGTON SPEAKS
AT ROTARY MEETING

Park Huntington, Wilmington
pastor, chaplain of the Delaware
National Guard and Delaware Amer
ican Legion, delivered an inspiring
and stirring address at Mondays
meeting of the Milford Rotary Club
at the New Windsor Hotel. Rev.
Huntington, accompanied by his
charming wife, drove to Milford
from Rehoboth Beach where he is
spending the summer.
In his address Rev. Huntington
emphasized that the present stu
alton, particularly the conditions
created by the N. R.. A., first re-
quired faith in God, in the country
and, in ourselves. Then, besides
faith, he called for revival of cour-
age to carry on in spite of the diff
ficulties of the past and the in
Vulnerable difficulties yet to be en-
countered in this great period of
transition from depression to hap
pier days. AS an illustration he
cited the life histories of Beethoven,
who became deaf in the midst of his
great musical career and yet carried
on with his great musical work and
immortal compositions and Cava-
naugh of ireland who was born
without hands and feet yet sur
mounted his handicaps so that he
actually served in Parliament for a
period of fourteen years. Such men,
said Rev. Huntington, and there
were many others like them, should
stand as examples to all of us who
are more fortunate physically but
who seem to become discouraged in
these difficult trying times.
Visitors present at the Monday
meeting were Morris Simon, Virgil
Wiley and John MacFadden, all of
he Dover Rotary Club. -.

The estimated cost of 100000 is
for State road work only, Mr.. Mack
said, and the expense of repairing
county roads is expected to increase
that amount considerably. Nearly

Mayor William H. Speer of Will

come to the delegates to the State
encampment at noon on Tuesday.
Mayor Speer complimented the
order on its patriotism. He said
that never before was patriotism
more needed than at the present.
Patriotism" Mayor Speer con-
tinued, "has a wider application
now. 1t is, not just the military
patriotism of war times, but new
patriotism to combat business de-
preston. 1t takes real patriotism
to defeat the foe we are combating
now. The NRA campaign being
conducted here in support of the
program in Washington, may not
be agreeable to all, but no doubt is
a long step in the right way. 1t
will not bring immediate work to
all nor will it give food Immediately
to all who need it, but it will sue
ceed if all cooperate and assist,
stick to it and stand back of the
government for the good of ALL"
The principal address of the
morning session was made by Ma
tional Secretary Herman A. Miller,
of Easton, Pa, who told of the work
