Funeral of Mrs. j. A. Frear, Sr.

Funeral services for Mrs. j. A.
Frear, Sr., of Dover, were held
Saturday afternoon, october 81.
The large attendance at the funer-
al witnessed the place of high es-
TEEN which she held in the life of
the community. Though Mrs.
Frear had been i'll for several
weeks, her death was great
shock to her many friends as she
was in the very prime of life. She
is survived by her husband, j. A.
Frear, Sr., one of Dover's most re-
spected citizens, and by four sis
ters, Miss Anne Lowber, Miss Eliz-
abeth Lowber, Miss Frances Low
Der, all of Dover, and Miss Maude
Lowber, of Philadelphia; also two
brothers, NOVEL; Lowber. and Har-
rie Lowber, of Philadelphia. Ms.
Frear was a member of Peoples
Church, and was identified with
various organizations within the
church. The place Mrs. Frear
held in the life Of her church and
community was one that will make
her going d severe loss to Dover.

tire community 60 out TO the Frear
and Lowber families in the death

age, her birth, reaching back to
the infancy of our Government and
running through period of nearly
90 years, would of itself make her
death a notable event, but her life
from her early youth until death
after long and hard fight gained
the mastery, was one of marked
characteristics and crowned thru
out with deeds of womanly virtues.
Mrs. Jones maiden name was FL
len Pierce. She was born and
raised near Milford where in young
womanhood, she married Isaac
Jones, who was local preacher in
the M. E. Church. Soon after their
marriage they moved from their
native place to the vicinity of Ken
ton, where twelve years after their
marriage, in 1922, he died, leaving
her three of the four children that
had been born to them to rear
without means and dependent en-
tirely upon her own efforts for
their support. Mrs. Jones husband
was a soldier in the war of 1912,
and by an act of Congress passed
few years ago. the widows of
soldiers of that war were put ON a
footing with those of the Civil
War, since which time she received
a. pension. She was a widow 81
years. She was taken into the
church under the ministry of Rich
ard Lyon and married by Solomon
Sharp. Her active life in the M. E.
Church has thus been almost CO.
eval with the existence of the de-
nomination. Not the church alone,
but all coguate associations insti-
tuted for the public good claimed
an equal share of her attention,
and she was the Oldest member of
the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union in the whole United
States. The funeral services were
held yesterday afternoon, attended
by a large number of friends. The
Rev.Enoch Stubbs, of Philadelphia,
officiated in obedience to a promise
made when he was pastor here, af-
ter which the remains were follow
ed to Glenwood cemetery, the place
of interment. Mr.. Nelson, thus
bereft in one year of all the mem
bers of his immediate family that
formed the center and common
meeting ground of an unusually
large circle, has the sincere SYM
pathy of the community IN his be-
reavement.

MILK
CONROL BY U.
Dairy Cooperative AssOcia-
tiOns of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey Join
DELAWARE NOT YET IN

E. o. Mather of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, asked
Thursday for briefs from all per-
sons interested in proposed Federal
regfulation of the Philadelphia
milk shed, after representatives of
dairymen's cooperatives in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey expressed
approval of the plan. Mather ask
ed the briefs be submitted by No
vember IA, after which a tentative
agreement would be drafted and
submitted to producers and dealers
in the states affected. The plan in
cludes Federal regulation of prices
paid to producers in the milk shed
to eliminate unfair competition
from states having no state con-
troll over the industry, and less
rigid sanitary regulations over pro-
duction. Mather said if two-thirds
of the producers approved the ten
tative agreement, their action
would authorize the federal gov
ernment to enforce the plan. Fed
eral government cooperation to
control the intra-state milk ship
ments to Philadelphia was asked
by the Milk Control Boards of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The
proposed federal regulation would
affect producers and distributors
in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Maryland. The federal
price structure would conform with
scales established by the Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey Control
Boards, Mather said.

B|LLDELAYED

With leaders moving toward a
compromise on the 1000 million
dollar Norris rural identification
bill, the Senate yesterday post
poned further consideration of the
measure until next Wednesday.
An agreement to cut the outlay
to 500 million dollars with an an
nual allowance of so million dol
lars for ten years, was foreshad-
owed. The bill as presented by
Senator Norris (RO, of Nebraska,
father Of the iva, calls for a ten
year program of rural electrifica-
tion with yearly expenditures Of
100 million dollars.
An administrator receiving
$4,000 annually and given broad
power to build transmission lines
and lend money to States or or
ganizations of farmers and others
for publicly owned and publicly
operated power services, was
provided.
Faced by opposition, Norris said
he would rather see the fund re-
duced than to have it defeated.
He added he was not certain it
was necessary to map a billion
dollar program at the outset.

AIR MAIL FIRM
PILOTS WIN
PAYCASE

Decision of the Post Office De
partment that Braniff Airways,
Inc, must pay its pilots and Co
pilots proper compensation or
lose its air mail contracts is de-
clared by advocates Of safe and
efficient aviation to be farreach-
ing in its significance.
The decision was rendered upon
q petition filed by the Air Line
Pilots Association. International,
setting forth that the company
was paying less than the rate pre-
scribed by the National Labor
Board, especially in regard to al
lowance for seniority.
Pay Up or Lose
The department ruled that fall
ure to meet the approved scale
and to pay pilots and copilots the
difference between what they
should have received and what
they actually received will mean
cancellation of the company'S air
mail contract on March Is.
In recommending the order,
Karl A. Crowley, solicitor for the
department, said:
Public safety calls for pilots
Of high character and great
skill. These men subject them
selves to the rigOrs Of life
where physical and mental eff
cheney must be kept at their
highest peak. They merit and
must receive the protection
which Congress has sought to
give them.
"This is the only instance
which has been brought to the
attention of the department
where a contractor now carry
ing air mail fails to pay pilots
and copilots, compensation ac-
cOrding to the approved scale.
Certainly, no more Government
money should be paid TO this
contractor until it turns over to
the pilots and cOpilOtS that
which Justly is theirs"
STATUS RECOGNIZED
Further recognition of the high
status of airline pilots is the re-
cent suggestion Of Representative
James Mead, Of New York, that
military aviation training at Army
Air Corps schools be made avail
able for airline pilots so that in
emergency this great body Of
skilled fliers would be on call as
military personnel.
Speaking before the House, Rep
reSentative Mea,' said:
"Many of these men saw
World War service. Many Of
them are graduates Of Kelly
Field. Evidence proves cOnclu-
SiveIy that they would be very
helpful in time Of war. We
ought to train these men in
the art Of military flying, and
we could do it with q minimum
appropriation, adding about a
thousand pilots to the Army
air corps and improving our
national defense"
