PLAN TO HOLD WHEAT

Until September 3Oth

For the purpose of explaining the
new l936-1939 wheat allotment con-
tracts, which are being offered by

istratiOn to all wheat farmers in the

Kent and Sussex Wheat Production
Control Association and the Agricul-
tural Extension Service of the Uni
Versity OF Delaware.
Every wheat grower Is invited to
attend at least one of these meetings
and hear this new wheat acreage
control program discussed. as it con-
tains many new features which are
to the advantage of those wheat
growers who will cooperate with the
Federal government in its efforts to
stabilize the price Of wheat for more
profit to the producers.
In order to give every wheat farm
er in this section of the state an OPP
pOrtunity to become more familiar
with the terms and benefits of these
new contracts, the following meet
ings have been scheduled by Kent
County Agent Russell E. Wilson in
cooperation with the allotment COM
mittee and directors of the local
wheat association:
Monday, Sept "a, at s p. m.-Cap-
ital Grange Hall. Dover.

PLANS UNDER WAY FOR
HALLOWEEN PARADE
L. c. Evans And n. L. Windsor In
Charge OF AFFAIR

The committee planning the joint
big. old fashioned Halloween cele-
bration for Kent and Sussex cOun-
ties to be held in Milford this year,
has been assured of the cooperation
of city council and city manager.
The same committee, Edward e.
Evans and Norman L. Windsor, who
so successfully engineered the af-
fair, of last year. that it attracted
Statewide notice, both from popular
approval and by special editorials in
Wilmington papers, are again in
charge.
Something big is promises this
year, and the event will eclipse the
successful parade held last October.
The celebration will not be con-
fined to Milford. Other towns and
communities in lower Delaware are
invited to participate as they did last
year and help make the event a huge
success.
From time to time announcements
will be made informing the public Of
just what has been accomplished to-
wards making this the most gigan-
tic parade ever held in lower Della
ware.

BEEBE HOSPITAL WORK
MAY BE STARTED SOON
Balance OF Money Pledged WIN Soon
Be Received

With the sanction of the trustees
of the Reebe Hospital, who will
meet in the near future, work on
the new addition to the institution
is expected 10 get under way. AL
though some pledges still remain
unpaid, It is expected they will be
redeemed in a short time. With the
money already on hand, however, it
is felt that work may be started at
once, Mrs. Henry B. Thompson, of
Greenville and RehOboth, said re-
Gently.
The Holiday Ball, held on July 6,
netted 81, 100 for the fund and a
special donation of S40O was made
by a resident of Laurel for the pur-
chase Of a sun lamp. For the equip
ment OF a modern kitchen the sum
of $1,000 is already provided, and It
is expected that other interested
persons will contribute to the fur
nishing of the surgical room, the
nurses home and private wards.
While the equipment in the X-ray
room is adequate, the quarters are
cramped and badly located, but with
added space it is thought, the SER
vice may be more efficient.

HOOVER SEES u. S.
LBERTYATSTAKE
Warns Against Surrend-
ering Liberty For False
Promises OF Security.

Herbert Hoover lauded the Amer
ican Bill of Rights Tuesday in an
attack on dictatOrial governments
with which he coupled criticism of
the Roosevelt administration.
The former President said in a
Constitution Day address that men
are in despair surrendering their
freedom for false promises Of secur-
ity"
Some moves of the Federal gov
ernment, he charged, "are of the
same sort of sapping of human
rights that have taken place in other
lands.
Liberty never dies from direct at
tack. Liberty dies from the encrOach-
nlent and disregard of its safeguards.
It's destruction can be no less pO-
tent from ignorance or desire to find
short cuts to jump over some imme-
diate pressure.
Sees 'Cause Of Anxiety"
I'm our country, abdication of its
responsibilities and powers by Con-
gress to the Executive, the repudi-
alton by the government of its Obli-
cations, the Capitalization of au-
thOrity into the Federal government
at the expense Of local government,
the building up Of huge bureauracies,
the coercion or intimidation of citi-
zens, are the same sort of first sap
pings of safeguards of human rights

FINDING OF STOLEN CAR
SOLVES SUSSEX THEFTS
Car Used By Walter Edell Found
Near MlllsbOrO, Sunday

Stolen on June 9Th, a Dodge car
owned by Fred Kettier, of Baltimore,
Md, was found on Sunday in a clump
of woodland between Belts pond
and MillsbOrO. eight miles south Of
Georgetown.
For the past three months mem
bers of the family of Coulter Truitt
who lives near Belts pond, have
been noticing every day a car stand
ing in the woods. Thinking that DIFF
ferent people, from time to time,
were driving in there and parking.
they paid no attention to it until
Monday when two Of Truths sons
were out boating on the pond and
decided to go over to the machine.
To their surprise, they found in it
a quantity of canned. goods, clothing,
shoes and watches. They also noticed
several oranges which were dried up
which led them to believe that it
was the same machine which they
had been seeing since last June.
Officers were notified and in COM
pany with Deputy Attorney General
Caleb NJ. Wright they visited the
scene and started an investigation.
In the car they found watch which
proved to be the one stolen from the
home of Julian E. Townsend of
Georgetown. on June 18th; another
watch which later was identified as
belonging to George Edward Veasey
Of Harbeson, and one belonging to
Joshua Massey OF Milton; an UNI
brella belonging to Mrs. Matte
of Millsboro. a suit OF
clothes of Reginald Lynch. and
pair Of shoes of Cleveland Lynch, OF

.anned goods, and two rain coats.

CHURCH, STATE
SEEN IN CONFLICT
Bishop Says Government
Has Assumed Charge Of
Training Youth.

"The government is taking out of
the hands of the church the respOn-
sibility for moral standards in teach
ing the youth of the land" declared
the Rt. Rev. Philip Cook, Bishop OF
the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware,
in an address Monday night at a
mass meeting OF churches held in
Lewes, sponsored by laymen in the
current Back to Church" move
ment.
''The civilization Of the whole
western world will be imperiled un-
less there is set up a Christian in
stead of a secular morality" he CON
tinued, "as the system of morality
throughout the world is completely
secularized. This condition prevails
throughout America as the State has
taken out of the hands of the Chris
tian forces the training of the young.
Leading examples are the present
teachings of youth in Russia and the
relationships Of countries in open
conflict with the church. In Ger
many, Hitler declares the youth o.
his country belongs to him and nt
will teach them"
Conflicts With Christianity
Such teachings are in conhiel
with the fundamentals Of Christian
ity. he went on, and unless the
church can regain its hold in youth
training, the results win be disas'
trous. Using as his text. What
Shall Do To Inherit Eternal Life :?
the Bishop declared the question
from a technical and Christian
standpoint, was wrong.
