LARGER WELFARE HOME

The State Board of Charities in
its closing session in Dover Satur-
day adopted two resolutions one
urging the formation of a State

the other expressing regrets over
the retirement of DR. Frank L..
Grier, of Milford, member of the
board since its organization. DR..
Grier had found it necessary to re-
sign due to his present state of
The proposed State welfare
is designed to coordi-
nate the work of the various bu-
reaus which are supported wholly,
or in part, by State appropriations.
Under the new plan overlapping
would be eliminated, it was pointed
out. The organization would con
solidate all the welfare agencies
with the State Board of Charities,
with five subdivisions The plan
is to be worked out by the various
groups and presented to the State
Board for approval and submission
to the next General Assembly. The
sessions Saturday We're presided
over by DR.. Charles L. Candee,
president of the State board.
Speakers brought out that the type
of service desired could be provided
by the State Board of Charities if
it could have the 100 per cent sup
port of all agencies affected and
the resources to make the neces-
sary personnel possible. Among
problems discussed and remedies
urged were the development of
some supervision of persons least
in need of institutional care; en-
ployment of a psycniatric social
worker for such cases; council to
study the Negro problem; increas-
ed financial aid to care for orphans
of Delawareans killed in the World
War; increased means to cope with
the old age pension waiting list of
2233 persons; more housing capac-
ity and equipment at the State
Welfare Home; establishment of
State care for permanently depend
ent children; probation officer and
detention house for Kent and Sus-
asex counties; pensions for the
blind; detention homes for conva-
lescents from hospital wards and
funds for expensive medicines, ser
ums, bandages and crutches for
INDECENT convalescents. Local
workers were also suggested for
hospitals to supplement the medi-
cal treatment and help pave the
way for the patient to continue
treatment after leaving a hospital.

WHEAT DEALS
BEING SIGNED
Wheat Allotment Contracts
For 1868 Presented By
District Chairman
E. S. MATTIFORD HERE

During the past ten days wheat
farmers throughout Kent county
have had the opportunity to attend
district and community meetings
at which were explained the new
1936-1939 wheat allotment con-
tracts that are being offered this
fall by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration to wheat producers
in the United States. This wheat
acreage control program for the
two lower counties of the state is
being conducted under tha super
vision of the Kent and Sussex
County Wheat Production Control
Association, and the signing of ap-
plications for contracts will be in
charge of the various district conf
mittees who will be provided with
application blanks and other neces-
sary papers in connection with this
project. As the former wheat con-
tracts expired with the harvesting
of the 1885 crop, both former con-
tract signers and those farmers
who did not come into the first al
lotment which was offered in 1888
will be considered as new contract
signers this fall in this new allot-
ment program. All arrangements
for continuing this wheat control
program in these two counties are
in charge of Kent County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, secretary of the
wheat association, in cooperation
with R. Harry Wilson, president,

An order committing Mrs. Thel-
ma Buxton, of ChestertoWn, Md,
confessed slayer of her mother-in-
law, to the Spring Grove State
Hospital at Catonsville, Md, was
signed Monday by Judge Thomas
j. Keating. Stephen r. Collins,
States attorney, made the request
for a commitment, after two
psychiatrists Sunday examined
Mrs. Buxton, 27-year-old wife of
DR.. Kenneth S. Buxton, head of the
chemistry department in Washing
ton College there. DIR. John H.
Preston, Maryland commissioner
of mental hygiene, and DR.. A. c.
Gillis, Johns Hopkins alienist, af-
ter lengthy examination of Mrs.
Buxton, agreed that the prisoner
was unsound mentally. A state
ment issued by DR.. Preston said:
I'VE have examined the patient
and have not reached final conclu-
sions, but Mrs. Baxton appears to
be mentally i'll and we recommend
that she be placed in a mental hos
pital for a period of observation. ="
DR.. Gillis, retained by DR. Buxton,
affixed a brief statement to that Of
DR.. Preston, agreeing with his col
league. While both alienists re-
fused to discuss the results of their
examination, which lasted for two
hours, it was learned that Mrs.
Buxton told them she did not re-
member killing Mrs Effie Buxton,
SO, in their apartment Friday
morning. The prisoner said she
remembered taking a hammer and
going to the bathroom to repair
fixture. The next thing she re-
membered was kneeling by the bed
of the elder Mrs. Buxton. Mrs.
Effie Buxton, who had been living
with her son and daughter-in-law
since last April, was found dead
on the floor of her bedroom, her
head hacked with a hatchet, which
was lying near her body. States
Attorney Collins said he would ask
murder indictment of the Octo-
ber Grand Jury. If the prisoners
condition improves, both he and S.
Scott Beck, attorney for the de-
fense, will ask that Mrs Buxton
be placed on trial. Beck said he
would plead insanity at the time of
