Hear Advice On
Poultry Shipping
Continued From Page One)

Council meeting was the question
of egg quotations on the New York
market The quotations in the
New York City market are based
on The grade known as Specials. :"
For several years a price above
Specials" has been quoted in New
York City on a higher quality egg
known as Premium Marks" Only
limited number of Premium
Marks" are recognized as such on
the New York market and these
are furnished by small number of
producers in certain sections of
New Jersey. On April 8, 1884,
there appeared at the top of the
white egg quotations for New
York City new grade of eggs
called Resale Premiums" The
result of this new quotation was to
drop the grade called Specials"
from second to third place from
the top inasmuch as buyers con-
tinue to pay Delaware farmers 1c
to &c below Specials" as was
their custom before, the net result
is a loss of 1c to &c a dozen on the
basis of top quotations. 1t must
be recognized, however, that only
eggs of the finest quality are
worthy of the top quotation. Del
Smyrna times., 1935-02-14

aware poultrymen who are produc-
ing such eggs should insist upon
selling at a price based upon the
top quotation, less a reasonable
selling charge. The representatives
from Delaware, along with two
hundred other Northeastern poul-
trymen who attended this meeting,
recommended, by resolution, to the
New York Mercantile Exchange
that definite grade of eggs better
than Specials" be established, de-
fined and recognized in the New
York market and that all eggs
must meet these specifications.

A Municipal Service Need

Smyrna has had some real
winter weather for the past
month, with snow and intense
cold aplenty. Since the biz
zard on January %, there has
been snow on the ground con-
tinuously. Added to this was
the snow Of Sunday morning.
The young folks have had one
of the longest seasons of sled
ding and skating in years.
Lake Como has afforded good
skating and winter sports
have been indulged in by old
and young. The weather has
been cold, as low here as eight
or ten below zero and for this
locality it has been a winter
to talk about. Last week the
weather moderated for a few
days and got cold again over
the weekend. With the fall
in temperature cme the slush
and walking was made miser-
able and cutters overfowed
because Town Council did not
put on a sufficient force Of
men to keep the drainage
clear of snow bank obstruc-
tions. 1t is true that Walter
Mattiford and his helper made
an effort to clear the street
intersection so people could
cross over, but this was not
sufficient. Town Council
should have given him a force
of men to do the job right
and this was to dig the snow
from the cutters, both sides
of the streets, to allow the
water a free course, all the
way down. Council owes a
service of this kind to it's cit
izens and taxpayers. They
did remove snow in the busi-
ness block but this is not
enough. They should provide
a gutter drainage for the
melted snow on all the streets
of town, whether they remov-
ed the snow from the streets
or not. A service Of this kind,
is a service that would add to
the progressiveness Of the
town rather than hold it up
to criticism. We hope that
the retiring as well as the new
Town Council, will see to this
when another thaw takes
place.

Radio Interference

Can't something be done to
relieve the interference to
radio receptions in town?
Most every night radio pro-
grams are interfered with by
noises that come in and de-
stroy proper reception. Some
say it is due to motor noise;
some that its violet ray ma
chimes, others that it is due to
transformer hook-ups and so
on. Whatever it is should be
looked into. The radio has
become almost a universal
source of entertainment and
the outside trouble should be
corrected so that our citizens
could hear radio programs
without annoyance. 1t would
seem that Town Council is
the proper body to take up
this matter. First, by seeing
, that it's own pole line is clear
of '1eaks" and second, by in
/ vestigating all users of mo-
tors and other electrical devic-
! es to the end Of seeing that
c the nuisances are abated.
1 There are hundreds of radio
: owners who would "rise up
e and call them blessed" if they
: would take up this question,
|, even to passing ordinances
T that would benefit radio own
4 ers. The nuisance can be
e abated and Town Council is
s the proper body to see that it
lis done.

Abraham Lincoln

The Newark Post Of Newark,
Della ware, brings some
thoughts out concerning the
life of Abraham Lincoln that
should be considered serious
ly in these times. The birth
day anniversary of the great
Emancipater celebrated on
Tuesday, is a time not only to
pay tribute to one of Amer
ica's greatest statesman but
to consider by comparison the
times in which we live. "The
figure of Abraham Lincoln
stands before us, says the
Post, "the Rock of Gibraltar
that weathered the only
storm in our domestic history
which even approaches in in
tensity the one through which
we are now passing. And one
of his statements is particu-
larly applicable at this time.
In a time of trying domestic
crisis he said "A house divid-
ed against itself cannot
stand"
Truly we are suffering
from a "house divided against
itself" And instead of hav-
ing only a slavery and anti
slavery rivalry, we have var
ious economic groups shading
off from the die-hard reac-
tionary of the laissez-faire
school of thought, through
the genuine liberal down to
the reddest of red radical. The
first doesn't care if the entire
nation is ruined in his greed
for wealth and power, and the
last is unwilling to cooperate
with any present form of gov
eminent in the fear Of making
it an efficient one, and thus
postponing the arrival of the
millennium and his own pet
idea of Utopia.
GAS a result we are in the
position of having a small
group of sincere liberals in
both of the great political
parties trying to harmonic
the various dessenting ele-
ments of the nation and to
get them to pull together.
Party principles are unim-
portant, and party lines have
been frequently bolted in the
past few years. A very good
example Of this type of case
is the recent statement by our
own Congressman George
Stewart, who, although Re
publican, said he would have
liked to have voted for the
Presidents liberal relief mea-
sure, except that the admins
tration of the act was left
without any check by Con.
gress. This would in all like
lihood mean a gigantic pork
barrel project for the benefi
of deserving Democrats. No
only Republicans, but evel
the fair minded Democrat
stood aghast at the steam rol
ler methods used in forcin
the bill through.

EVER HAVE A FIRE?

Have YOU ever had a serious fire
on your property? The chances are
that you haven't-and you are
lucky.
But the fact that you haven't suf-
fered directly from fire loss should
not give you a false sense of secur-
ity. A fire, like anything else, has to
happen a first time. And the proper
ty-owner who disregards warnings
concerning fire hazaTds, thinking
that such matters may affect others
but not him, is all set for that first
time"
Unless your home is different
from the average, it contains long
list of fire hazards. Remember that
old furniture, those ancient maga-
zines and clothes you've been put
ting in the attic little by little for
many years? They offer a constant
invitation to fire, no less than the
nest of a real pack-rat. And the ac-
cumulations of greasy rags or re-
fuse in the basement or garage
what more could the force OF spon-
taneous combustion want to get in
its work? And those electrical re-
pairs yo umade yourself, in order to
save the few dollars an expert cleo
trtcian would have charged to do the
Job properly-perhaps you don't
know that electrical hazards are one
of the most prolific sources of fire.
And that heating plant that is going
full blast these first days Of winter
unless it has heen recently in
spected and oveThauled. it is one OF
the fire demons best allies.
Almost every fire hazard can be
ted-furthermore, it can be
eliminated quickly, easily and
cheaply. Some of the most danger
Gus hazards, such as Improperly
stored infiammables and piles OF
can be done away with en-
tireIy without cost. Doing that may
save lives and irreplaceable prop |
erty-is it worth the little work
that is involved?

"VOICES CRYING in
THE WILDERNESS

There are not as many people in
New Mexico as there are in Pennsyl-
Vania. When, however, they are ask
ed to decide by ballot whether they
want their Constitution changed,
their decision is no less significant
than that of the larger state. Penn
sylvanians took a positive stand
against altering their State COnsti-
tuition to bring it into line with New
Deal thought, and the press of the
nation carried the story at some
length. What about New Mexico?
Written in q homely, common
sense style characteristic of country
newspapers, an editorial in the Rat
on Range. a small daily of Ration,
New Mexico, reveals that states at
titude Enthusiastically:
Apparently the people of the
State of New Mexico are fed up with
legislation, especially any kind of
law-making which even hints at
costing anything extra.
"This thought is prompted by the
returns of Tuesdays special election
on amendments.
'.EveTy one of the proposed chang
es in the state constitution was de-
feated. And the vote cast was pitt
fully small.
"All of which indicates that, de-
spite New Deals, New Programs,
New Anything. folks are not looking
kindly upon the proposition of addi-
tiOnal law-making.
"If this vote is any sort of fore
cast, we can expect little if any,
