said ut the beginning Of this talk
that the active help and support of
the entire American people is neces-
sary in order to accomplish our aims.
Good salesmanship is necessary, and
believe that in this case good
salesmanship means q fair and un-
biased presentation of the facts, not
only through the local moderniza-
ton campaign committees, which will
carry out the program Of education
and information in every community
in the country, but also through the
widespread use Of the radio, news
papers. magazines, and all other ad-
vertising media by the business In
terests of the Nation.
Here in Washington we are plan
ming every step with a view to pro-
noting the public interest. And at
the expense of repetition, permit me
to say again that this Is sound
business plan. We intend that 1t
shall be carried out on sound busi-
ness principles.
1t is up to the business men Of
America to develop this potential
business. to show the public that
they have something worth while to
offer, and I believe they will do it.

HOW DID HALLOWEEN
START ANYWAY

Next Wednesday is Halloween,
broom sticks and all cats are black
and jack-o-lanterns with flaming
eyes send delightfully."- creepy thrills
chasing UP and down our spines.
But what is this Halloween. and
why do we celebrate it as we do?
The name means "All HallOws Eve"
the day before All HallOws or All
Saints Day. But the belief that on
this night the powers of evil are
abroad in full force, is older than
Christianity. The ancient inhabi-
tants of Britain before julius Caes-
ar's invasion, believed that on this
night the great lord of death called
together all the souls of the wicked
and sent them forth to inhabit the
bodies of animals. II behOOved all
good folk therefore to light huge
bonfires and even to 'set up gro
tesque and fearful looking images
(perhaps forerunners of our own
jack-o-lanterns) to frighten away
these evil beings.
III llOuClH udyo VIC hdNC bui hSu
Halloween into time of jollity But
we still cling to many of the ancient
customs. What Halloween party
would be complete without its wit
ches, cats, pumpkin heads and other
age-old symbols? And as usual. the
makers of ice cream have provided
Halloween party dec
orations, the incest kind of decOra-
tions because they delight the pal
ate as well as the eye.
For example. the Breyers Ice
Cream Co. is offering an ice cream

Sixty-FirSt Birthday
At "Three Bridges

Mrs. Martha w. Pierce, wife OF
George H. Dare Pierce, who owns
the farm at Three Bridges, a few
miles south of Glendale, where he
was born, celebrated her sixty-first
birthday anniversary at their farm
last Saturday, October 20. Mr.. Pierce
referred to the affair in his brief and
lacOnic conversations this week, as
just another milestone in a very
happy married life, and so it was.
That there was splendid turkey
dinner served to many from both
Sussex county and Philadelphia,
there is no necessity to state-for
Dare" Pierce has always enjoyed
the good things served in a Della
ware hOme-especially his own.
There were guests who esteemed the
privilege of being present, from
Philadelphia as follows, the two
children of Mrs. Pierce, also Miss
Lena |. Jones and David McFadden;
from NOrristOwn, Pa, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. c. TOmpkins; from Lincoln, Mr.
and Mrs. Willard II. Clendaniel, Mr..
and Mrs. l.. J. Gleb. Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Metz and Carl Booder; from Ellen
dale. Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Swain;
from Milford, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Pierce, Mr.. and Mrs. Foster Pierce
and Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Pierce.
All had a fine memory of this birth
day anniversary to carry with them
through life. Mrs. Pierce returned to
Philadelphia Monday leaving Dare"
to wander about over the fields
around Three Bridges" in old Sus-
sex county for a time; to get that
happy velvety feeling in his soul
deep grounded. before going back to
the wild, cold wilderness of a big
city for another winter. Just peace
and happiness after all is the great
of life for them, as it
should be for all.

CCC MEN CONSTRUCT
OBSERVATION TOWER
[COmtinHtd from FirH PA0f1

[COsfiHEed from Frs PA0f1
from the beginning of the emer-
gency conservation work to August
/ 1. of this year. Approximately SO
per cent are located on national for
est lands.
In Delaware all towers are of
steel construction with inside wood
en- stairway leading into Z foot
square cabin, the upper half of
which is enclosed in glass. They are
100 feet in height from the ground
to the bottom of the cabin floor, or
40 feet over all. The top is bea-
con type construction providing a
hurricane deck which not only
shades the steel roof but may some
times serve for triangulation sur
veying or airplane beacon installa-
lation.
The duties of tOwermen and equip
ment of the towers are stTikingly
similar to those of the lighthouses
that guide vessels along treacherOus
sea coasts. The equipment in the
tower cabins consists of telephone,
chair, binoculars, weather hygrOme-
ter, oil stove and a table on which
is placed an Oriented topographic
map, covered with a plate glass. the
center of which has been bored to
permit the attachment of range
finder. Thus the towerman is made
comfortable during his long vigil of
searching for forest fires which he

five miles of the tower. For greater
distances better accuracy is obtain
ed when two towermen telephone
their readings to Dover where the
control map is located in the office
of the State Forester. The normal
visibility from each tower is, the
circle having radius
of ten miles. Hence each tOwerman
is guardian over 100000 acres of
land surface. approximately $4,000
of which is timberland. The range /
of normal visibility is increased or /.
according to atmospher- !
ic conditions, but on days when
fires are most likely to occur it is
clear and the range of
above normal, Mr. Taber I
said.
The construction of the fifth tow
er for Delaware, which is expected
10 be located somewhere in Kent
will be part of the CCC pro-
gram for the forestry camp at
Redden. under the supervision of
