New Century Club Notes


/ Public Welfare, with Mrs. William
Marshall, .JT., as chairman, was the
theme Of the program at the Milford
New Century Club on Monday. In
presenting. her program. Mrs. Mar
shall spoke Of today, when the care
Of delinquent children. the care OF
the aged and the dependency of so
many people, brought the welfare
or the public to everyone's atten-
tion. The care OF underprivileged
| children, with the clubs of the fed
GRAFTON becoming interested. was
given some time and thought by
Mrs. Marshall. She then presented
DR.. Douglas NJ. Gay and his assist
ant, Mrs. Mary Freeman, of Will
mington, whose dominating interest
and work is for cancer control for
Delaware. DR.. Gay, in his talk
spoke of the disease as a very old
one, having been traced 10 the an
cient mnmmies OF Egypt, and of il
being no respecter of persons. Then
showing very comprehensive
chart, the death rate of the victim
of cancer has increased until It has
become the second highest disease
causing death, with heart conditions
holding first place. Many pictures,
showing the virulence Of the growth
of cancer were explained by DIR.
Gay. An urgent plea for persons
having any symptoms of this dread
disease to consult their physician
in the early stages, or to submit to
surgery or the treatment of radium
or deep X-ray in the more advanced
stages brought DR.. Gays talk to a
close. Mrs. Freeman, who came to
Delaware in 1929 told of the organ
iZatiOn of the work, the procedure
for patients, including cultures for
laboratory tests, and the establish
ing of five clinics, namely, Beebe
Hospital at Lewes, the Emergency
Hospital in Milford, the Kent Gen
eral Hospital at Dover, and the viii
mingtOn General and Delaware Hos
pitals in Wilmington. Statistics for
the past five years are available.
Both talks were instructive. Mrs.
Warren sang two solos, ac-
cOmpanied by Mrs Edward Hurlay.
They were. Open the Gates of the
Temple" and Let Thy Will BE
Done" In the absence of Mrs. Ed
gar Wood. the secretary, Mrs. Rob
ert Griffith filled her place.

HOUSING MEASURE.

pointed out that under this bill the
Federal government would be ready
and willing to allocate about $780,
900 to Delaware for housing projects
and that it would cost the State
nothing to obtain this money. In
addition, it would make possible nu-
merOus building projects that would
go a long way toward relieving un-
employment, in addition to the BEN
efits it would provide in the elimi-
nation of slum areas and the con-
struction of modern homes of low
rental.
The main objections to the bill
were based on the contention that
measures of this character should be
deferred until the Legislature has
disposed of whatever public works
program it is going to set up. The
purposes of the act were admitted to
be beneficial and would help the
State and the unemployed as we'll
as the family of moderate income.
Il is understood the measure will be
considered later.
