States Department of Agriculture
spent Wednesday and Thursday
| May and 10. in Delaware, making
motion pictures of the two citizens
Conservation Corps camps at Lewes
and Slaughter Beach. The repre-
sentatives, Raymond Evans and
Carl Turvey of Washington, are
connected with the Extension Ser
vice of the Department of Agricul-
ture. which is particularly interest
ed i'm these two CCC camps, be
cause they are the only ones en-
gagged in mosquito control work.
On Wednesday afternoon pictures

tails of the camp life were made.
and on Thursday morning they went
to the Killen farm on the BrOadkill

not impede the use of the marshes.
Bay wagons, moving machines and
even automobiles were driven
across the ten inch bitches which
were dug during January.
On Thursday afternoon motion
pictures were taken of the boys en-

photographed. Later in the after
noon aerial views of finished areas
were filmed.
These pictures will be available

this trip. M Evans stated: We eX-
pected to take three days on this
job. but due to the excellent coop
GRAFTON we have received from Mr.
'Orkran and his staff, we have

OFFIcIAL HArGHTINESS

The classic for d public official to
get even with a newspaper which
doesn't agree with the official is to
refuse to give the newspaper infor-
nation pertaining to his Office This
is supposed to be a terrific handicap
to the newspaper. All it is, is an
indication of the of1cial's attitude
towards his responsibilities. It
shows that he regards his office as
his private possession intead Of being
the property of the public. The only
reason a newspaper wants informa-
ton is to present it to the public.
The only effect of such an attitude
by public Official is to inconve-
nience the public the public Official
is supposed to be working for.

Another little reminder of Pop
ny Day. May 26: The poppy is a fit
ting emblem to perpetually remind
us and unfailingly teach coming
generations our debt to those who
valliantly saved the light of liberty
for us. Children whose fathers
were killed or disabled on the pop
py-studded battlefields of France
will be among those benefited by
Poppy Day. The Legion and Auxil-
iary must carry on the service work
by bringing small measure of
cheer to those men who are yet, and
will he as long as life remains, pay
ing the price of service A penny a
piece is paid for each poppy made.
A veteran, if he is not too badly dis
abled. can turn out easily 800 of
the flowers in a short working day.
and this means the earning of three
dollars a day for the families of
these men. The money earned Of
ten means food. shelter and fuel for
the winter" -'-'e
