SMALL DAILY COST
Hope To Take Care OF
Many Riddles During

The New York Herald Tribune"
sponsors annually the Fresh AR
Fund whereby children from the
eOngested areas of the metropolis
are enabled to enjoy a two-weeks va
cation in communities similar TO Mil

our growing future citizens Of the
big city with real country life has
been continued for a period Of over
ten years. The question is asked;
What good is such a movement do
ing?"
Life in a city like New York is a
steady turmoil and everlasting rush.
There is always unrest and strife
of one form or another. A visit to
a park where a child might view the
strange sight of flowers. trees, and
domestic animals involves consider
able travel and expense. Nature and
her lOveliness is a rare apparition.
On the other hand, home life is not
only toll and worry, especially in
these times, but full of discomfort
and rebellion. Radicalism in its
vilest forms fills the atmosphere.
Lille beauties ana man AlnuueSScs
are things far removed.
Out of this cauldrOn Of struggling
humanity, children are transported
at the expense of the Fresh Air
Fund, to those towns and country
places where glorious nature
abOunds in abundance. The children
are warmly received and, at local
expense. treated to two weeks of real
home life, fresh air, and sunshine.
They are loved and cared for as II
they were members of the families
they live with. In many cases, the
families entertaining such visitors
become so attached to the young
sters, that parting at the end OF the
period allowed becomes a sad af-
fair. There have already been cases
where families, experiencing the
thrill of close contact with children
and feeling the continued need of
such happiness, have either adopted
their little summer guests or main
tanned the most familiar relationship

does not know whether It is the child

When Commander Richard E.
Byrd took his first expedition 70 the

Little America, was one which he
named the DR.. G. Layton Grier Med

dent Of The L. d. Caulk Company, OF
Milford. Prior to the departure OF
the expedition the Caulk Company
set up a dental clinic in New York
and treated all the members Of the
party. The company also provided
the expedition with such dental sup
plies as It might need. Following ar
rival one Jf the buildings erected
was used for dental and medical
supplies. It was this building that
was named for DR.. Grier.
Prior TO the departure Of Admiral
Byrd and his second expedition, DR..
Grier asked the admiral If he would
bring back and turn over to him the
medical building. This was a frame
structure about 20 feet square. Of
the portable type. It was built Of
heavy timber, however.
DR.. Grier said last Friday that he
has been advised that his request

BERRIES A PAYING CROP
FOR FARMERS THIS YEAR
Selling For Highest Price In Four
Years

Farmers throughout lower Della
ware who were fortunate enough to
have a good acreage in strawberries
are making some money this year,
that will greatly help them in whip
ping out the depression. Berries
within the past week have been SELL
ing for the highest price that they
have brought within the past four
years.
When the average farmer of lower
Delaware can obtain ten cents per
quart box for his berries, he is in a
position to realize profit. If he has
a large acreage, as many of them
have, he is going to realize a good
years wOrk-much more than the
average city dweller.
The only thing that is needed in
lower Delaware, to make it a
fiOurishing section is more straw
berry growers and less poultry pro-
ducers.
Years ago growing strawberries
was the principal BUSINESS pursuit
of the average farmer. Five years
ago they got away from it and be-
came interested in broiler growing.
This season, because Of the low
price Of broilers, thousands of dol
lars have been lost.
Baltimore Hundred, in the south
eastern section Of Sussex county, is
a concrete example. Twenty-Five
years ago this was the largest
section in the country.
the farmers turned their
to raising brOllers. They
got their start in the strawberry
game and suddenly they entered the |
poultry game, which has proven an
within the past two
years. The concensus Of opinion Is
that had the farmers Of Baltimore |
Hundred stuck to growing berries
from year TO year they would have
been better of financially than they I
now are.

FLY OUR FLAG TODAY

Be Careful With Fireworks; Better
Be Safe Than Sorry

It's l54 years since the last mus
ket was fred in the Revolutionary
War but Americans continue to die
every year in their attempts to cele-
brate the day that marked the be-
ginning Of independence. It was the
famous spirit Of '76 that won free
dom at cost Of 4,O44 lives. But
what shall we call the spirit that
has cost US 4,290 lives since the sur
render Of Corvallis? Incredible as
1t seems, more people have died cell
ebrating the Fourth Of July than fell
in the cause Of liberty.
Last year on the 4th of July, ac-
eording to the Delaware Safety
Council, more than 1S9 persons lost
their lives in fierworks, motor We
hiele and drowning and other recre-
alton accidents. Thousands were in

SANITATION PROGRAMS

Health

Community sanitation programs
have been inaugurated by the towns
of Blades, BridgeVille, Laurel, Mills
bOTO, and Milton with the cOopera-
ton of the State Board of Health.
These programs, aimed mainly to
the installation of sanitary pit priv
les in unsewered areas, are being
backed by model ordinances adopted
by the respective town councils CO.
operating with the local boards of
health and as suggested by the
State Health authorities.
Each property owner is to be re-
quested to provide sanitary priVy
facilities, either on his own initia-
tive, or the work may be done by a
trained corps Of carpenters and lab
Orers, and the owner charged with
only the necessary labor and mate
rial costs needed to make sanitary
the existing structure. q.
According to Richard c. Beckett.
State Sanitary Engineer, the safe
of body waste means less
typhoid, dlarFhea, enteritis and other
flth-borne diseases.
Strange to say" he comments,
"the records in the Office of the
State Board of Health show that
such diseases as tuberculosis and
pneumonia also decrease after such
work. This is due, of
course, to the fact that these dis
eases are also spread by improper
disposal of other types of body /
waste"
The various town authorities and
ocal boards Of health have been /
wEole-heartedly with |
the State Board of Health in the |
to eliminate insanitary /

dental DrOWnIngs

With the approach of the summer
season, and the consequent water
sports, the Delaware State Board of
Health is reminding the public that
everyone should know how to save
a life from drowning. One never
knows, they say, when he will be
faced with such an emergency and
he should be ready for it.
During 1884, twenty-fOur persons
were accidentally drowned in Della
ware; this is at the rate of 9.S per
hundred thousand of population
which, according to DR.. A. c. JOst,
executive secretary. compares rather
poorly with the rate for other
states and the United States as
whole.
~ On removal Of a patient from
the water, he should be placed on
his stomach on a fat surface, quick
ly opening the mouth to remove any
foreign substance which might OBJ
struct breathing-but not wasting
any time In such preliminaries as

of the patient should be bent at the

and the other arm should be stretch
