THE CCC has given healthful out
door work to thousands of Delaware
young men and war veterans" Di-
rector Fechner said today. During
the first three years that the corps
has been in operation a total of ap-
prOximately 2,234 Delaware men has

"EnrOllees in the corps receive
wholesome food, comfortable shell
ter and clothing, medical care and
an opportunity to improve their ed
ucation. They also receive a cash
allowance large enough to permit
them to support or contribute heav-
lily to the support of their families. |
The basic cash allowance for the |
men is $4,000 a month. Of
this they allot from $22 to $25 to /
their families. These allOtments are /
mailed directly to the homes of the /
men by the War Department. The

From Rehoboth Beach to Beth
any Beach the beach is open to
those who wish to stop to enjoy the
bathing and fishing in the ocean. A
well built road opens the eleven
mile stretch along the ocean front
where almost any day during the
summer numerous fishing parties
from all parts of the State and from
nearby states may be found enjoy
ing the excellent surf fishing. The
primary purpose OF these spots is to
provide a safe, restful spot off the
travelled roadway where motorists
may linger to enjoy scenery and
lunch without being endangered by
passing traffic The areas are plain
lY marked as State-Owned and ev-
eryOne is free to enjoy these places
without charge. The only thing that
the State requests in return is that
those who use them treat them prop
eFly and refrain from throwing re-
fuse out.
Along the roads at present roses
are blooming and other flowers are
providing a beautiful effect and the
travelling public is asked not to pick
these blooms which are provided for
the pleasure of all. The department |
also asks that the public refrain
from using the bridges for fishing,
grabbing or for bathing purposes as /
in such cases these spots would at
once become motor hazards for
others. To aid motorists in finding
these public areas the recently is
sued autO-pOcket map, sets out
plainly their locations and also
shows the better fishing and pleas
ure spots along the Delaware River
and Bay.

HARMFUL FEARS
Mrs. D. w. Kinds

AIS. u. w. HlQQS
. Most psychologists agree that We
! have only two inherent fears, thai
! all others are learned and that usu-
ally they are learned in early child
hood. The two instructive fears are
the fear of falling and the fear OF
loud noises. Whenever courage de-
velOps normally, these natural fears
are seldom heard from, consciously,
though they are ever ready to in
duce the prompt exercise of sane
caution. The numerous other fears
which are more or less common to
all, tend only to restrict and i'm
pede.
Since most harmful fears are
learned in childhood, a mother
should exercise watchfulness over
her child's environment. Thoughts,
! even, are squite unit to be
| admitted, for the child absorbs so
much more than the spoken word.
A worried, over anxious mother often
unconsciously communicates to her
child much that is harmful in her
emotions.
Anyone who has a part in the
cbild's world may cause unhealthy
fears. The maid who dislikes to en-
ter a dark room is often RESPONSE
BILE for the child's first fear Of the
dark. A person who screams or
faints at the least sign of danger
often does untold harm, and such
behavior should not be tolerated.
Perhaps the most difficult time for
is during that stage of development |
when her child is particularly adj
Venturesome, wishing always to eX- |
plore. It is we'll TO remember at |
such a time that just as a child's in |
herent fears aid in self-preservatiOn, |
so his bOundless energy and Curl |
osity help him to develop mentally !
and physically Natural tendencies |
should be guided but never opposed. |
If the mothers fear for her child's
safety causes her to forbid the ex- /
ercise of these natural tendencies,
she will not only retard the child's
mental and physical growth, but will |
teach him useless, harmful fears
which may remain with him
throughout life. A strong faith in
God and His goodness can give
mother courage to control her own
anxiety. Without this faith and I'M
her fears are likely to
get the better of her and to be COM
municated to her child. retarding his
spiritual, physical and mental
growth.
When children begin climbing
upon everything available. the most
practical aid is to teach them to
climb properly. This gives the mo-
her more confidence and teaches
he child sane caution rather than
ear. AS one mother said, ''They are
going to climb whether l like it or
lot. can't always be with them, so
teach them to test all tree limbs
,efore venturing out, and to exam
ne all ladders carefully. They must
earn to climb" she continued, land
here is no reason why any bones
bould be broken, but even if this
hOuld happen. l would rather have
. happen. now than later in life"
