DELAWARE VOCATIONAL
AGRICULTURE PAYS
Pupils win Repaid For Labor On
Projects

The annual State summary Of VO-
eational agriculture projects, car
ried on by the farm boys OF Della
ware has just been completed by
State Supervisor of Vocational Ag-
rlcultural Education, W. Lyle
Mowlds, and shows the largest net
profit since the work was started II
years ago. Besides the largest net
profit In both plant and animal pro-
ieets. there is a larger number Of
individual projects per pupil and a
considerable gain In number Of
hours Of pupil labor.
With a pupil labor income OF $19.-
Ol6.16 and net profit or s16;600.96
ON an approximate $30,000,00 busi-
ness, these 270 boys have shown
that farming Is we'll worth the time
and effort expended. During the past
year, the boys have not only kept
accurate records but have run ex-
periments on fertilizlng, marketing
and feeding. This they believe will
be the means of saving much mon
ey and labor in the ensuing year.
With all their work these boys
have tried to cooperate with the A.
A. A. and have worked soundly and
carefully on cooperative efforts In
both buying and marketing. The

SCHOOL PATRONS
OF STATE PRAISED
Builders Praised As Patriots By G.
I. Maeklln On Delaware Day

Homage to latter day patriots who
founded one of the finest school
systems in the country was paid on
Sunday at Valley Forge as Delaware
patriots gathered to worship in pic
turesque Washington Memorial
Chapel on Delaware State Sunday.
The honor Of holding the celebra-
tion on the first Sunday of the New
Year goes TO Delaware because this
State was the first to ratify the Con-
stitutiOn. and Delaware visitors
we're shown the States seal in its
corresponding place of honor on the
chapel ceiling.
The address was by George T.
Macklin, principal of the Bridgeville
High School. Mr.. Macklin was des-
ignated for this honor by Governor
Buck. A tribute to the State was
read by the author, Esther Peterson.
of Bridgeville High School and was
filed in the chapel archives to-
gether with Mr.. Macklin's address.
"The little red school house is
gradually disappearing from Della
ware" declared Mr.. Macklin as he
described the phenomenal rise of
the States school system from a
place far down on the list of states
to its present high rank.
Tax Increase Slight
Despite the extent of the advance,
he pointed out, taxes for schools
have not been increased appreciab-
ly, most of the cost having been met
by private contribution and from
sources of revenue not affecting the
people of the State.
The primitive One-room school. he
said, has been replaced by the large,
modern consolidated school, which
serves a large area daily by school
buses which travel over the most
modern highways In the country.
The development Of these high
ways since 1890 also drew warm
from Mr.. Macklin,
who discussed their economic inn
portance and praised them as a fac
tor in making the consolidated
school possible.
The builders of these schools and
he said. are patriots even
In the sense that the ragged Conti-
lentals who huddled at Valley Forge
turing the bleak Winter of 1777 we're
patriots.
The tribute to the State by Miss
Peterson enumerated the physical
Of the state and its role in
he early development Of the union.
I gave warm praise to the States
,arly patriots.

new DEALLOCE
ITS FIRST TEST IN
SUPREME COURT
Rules I'M Constitutional
MIRA Section Giving
u. S. Oil Output Control
ONLY ONE DISSENT
Reports From Oklahoma
Expect Crude Oil Prices
To Crumble.

With only one dissent. the Su-
preme Court on Monday declared
unconstitutional the first important
bit of New Deal legislation to come
before 1.-THE section Of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act under
which the government is attempting
to control oil production.
Chief Justice Hughes read the
long opinion that scrapped one OF
the vital laws passed during the
Roosevelt Administration to an aud
ience which packed the tiny court
room that was once the Senate
chamber.
His voice resonant, the Chief JUS
tice reiterated that Congress had
delegated too much legislative a1-
thOrity to the President when It
gave him the power to prohibit the
interstate shipment Of oil produced
in excess Of state quotas.
Ickes Sees Code Unshaken
The decision caused a burst Of
discussion in the capital. Secretary
Ickes asserted that while the court
had declared unconstitutional sec
tion 9CCl of the MIRA Il did not
rule the oil code" embodied in other
parts of the Recovery Act.
1--WE stiIl have the oil code and
will continue to operate" said
Ickes. 1--WE will attempt to regulate
hot oil with every resource we
have"
From the Oklahoma oil fields
came reports that the crude oil price
structure was expected to crumble
within 4S hours under the decision,
Donald R. Richberg, executive de
rector of the National Emergency
Council, issued a statement warning
against pr0nhesies on the basis oi
the decision as to what the Su-
preme Court may decide In the fJi-
tufe about NRA.
"The court. even BY implication,
has not cast a doubt on the validity
of codes of fair competition" said
From Senate and House members
came few expressions of surprise;
there were predictions that new leg
islation would be enacted for oil
possibly through State COM
pacts.
Justice Cardozo was the only high
court member to disagree with the
of the other eight that
Congress had given away some Of

to the vision of splendid co-opera-
ton exhibited by the deputy prin-
cess, Mrs. Naomi Thomas of st.
Paul, and the number of loyal
women in both cities who have
shown their interest by following
her leadership.
