POPPY SALES AID

DISABLED VETS
Poppy Day will be observed in this
vally this year from Saturday, May
%, to Memorial Day, when MEM
orial peoples to be worn in honor
of the World War dead will be dis
tributed by the John Lindblad unit
No. II of the American Legion
Auxiliary. The Auxiliary women are
making extensive preparations for
the observance of this period under
the leadership of Mrs. Esther Kalk-
warf, Poppy Sale chairman.
wearing the poppy is personal
tribute to the men who gave their
lives in the country's service" Mrs.
Kalkwarf says. s'By having poppy
on the coat, all can show that they
still remember and honor the sac
rifces made for America during the
World War. The poppy is the flow
er which bloomed on the battle
fields where they fell and on Poppy
Day it blooms again over the pa
triotic hearts where they are re-
| menbered.
wearing the poppy also gives the
wearer a part in the vast work car
ried out by the American Legion
and Auxiliary for the wars living
victims; the disabled, their families
and the families of the dead. Every
penny contributed for a poppy goes
to the support of this work, the
bulk of the money being used here
in this valley in the welfare &C
tivlties of the local Legion post and
Auxiliary unit.
'"Dhe vast program of welfare and
rehabilitation work carried out by
these groups draws it's principal
support from the poppy. The dimes
quarters and half dollars we drop
into the coin boxes of the poppy
workers supply the means for local
state and national activities for the
benefits of disabled veterans and the
families left in need through the
death or disability of veterans. The
Poppy Sale contributions make aic
available during the year to those
who still are paying in steady in
stallments the wars bitter debt o.
suffering and privation.
when we pin on our peoples this
year, there should come to us al
vision of the part we are playing
in the effort to heal the nation!
war wounds. We should look upor
our peoples not only as flowers O.
memory for the dead but as flowers
of hope for the living"
Poppy making work is restricted
to disabled veterans receiving littl
or no government compensation
with preference being given to thos
having families in need Of thel
support. Materials are supplied b.
the Auxiliary and the men are pai
for each completed poppy. TIL
number each veteran is allowed t
make per day is restricted SO tina
the work may be spread among a
many needy men as possible an
to prevent over-taxing the workers

THEY MAY BE USEFUL

Perhaps YOU may consider the United States
safely-and happily -past the horse and buggy
days. but it seems there is a movement a1oot 20
return us to some OF the practices anu cusIons vi
the pre-horse and buggy days.
This movement is not sly one nor is IL per-
nicious one. It is outgroWth OF the reallzatlon
that some of our obsolete customs which we dis
carded with great righteousness, may serve a
good purpose, even IN this enlightened Gay.
number of years ago lotteries were common
source of revenue, both private and public but
the day came when they were regarded as de-
moralizing influence and laws were passed Danish
ING them from the land They were not banlshed
in the strict sense of the word for it Is still pos
sbe to hold one, but the mails are closed to them
and newspapers are forbidden the use OF the mails
Il they publish the news of lottery, either be-
fore or after it is held.
Tn other Words as far as the federal law is con-
7,erned. a merchant or an organization may rattle
off a prize to holders of tickets but these tickets
may not be sent through the mails, nor may any
newspaper advertise the rattle, nor publish the
names Of the winners OF the rattle
Several state press associations have passed
resolutions favoring the liberalization OF the lot
terry laws, thus making it possible for newspaper
to mention the rafting of prizes without fearing
the loss of it's mailing privileges.
In attempting to work this out, however, they
are forced to make rather close distinction be-
tween different types of lotteries, asking the Post
Office department to distinguish between lot
teries of demoralizing influence and lotteries
that are simple and innocent amusement, whereby
money is raised for good and worthy purposes.
Our present lottery law is certainly an absurd
one, and perhaps with concerted effort it can be
changed It will be difficult to distinguish between
those of 'demoralizng influence and those by
which money is raised for good and worthy pur-
poses, however.
Many governments today lotteries to raise
taxes, others to raise money for charities and II
we believe that these good and worthy pur-
possess then it would be only matter OF time un-
til this government discards it's enlightened tax
programs of today and reverts to the lottery sys-
tenn to raise taxes easily and plainlessly.
Another ancient custom which may be revived
if the movement becomes strong enough is that OF
settling personal differences the field OF honor
The need for such movement has been pointed
out by several editors who, after listening to the
many acrimonious speeches made in Congress re-
GENTLY have wondered if perhaps it wouldn't be
better-as far as the public is concerned these
men simply chose their weapons and fought to the
DEATH rather than weary the public with their
hvsterical invectives and increasing lack of good
taste.
But then, if dueling revived, they would
probabv still hide behind the skirts of their cher
ished immunity and it would only add the cries
Of coward" to the already vouminous catalog
Of explosives hurled regularly by some Of our
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-04-09
SEEK TO DEVELOP
FLAVOR IN JUICES

Fruit Juices that will retain their
fresh fruit flavor regardless OF the
length of time stored is one of the
goals of the work being undertaken
by the new fruit and vegetable by
products laboratory established on
the campus at the State College OF
Washington through cooperation OF
the agricultural experiment station
and the bureau of chemistry and
soils of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Because of the Importance of the
apple industry in Washington, one
of the first problems to be under
taken is that of producing an apple
Juice that can be stored indefinitely
and still have that fresh cider fla
vor demanded by the consumer. II.
H. Mottern, in charge of the lab
oratory at the college, believes this
can be accomplished by combining
the present processes of filtration
and flash pasteurization in such a
way as to avoid the cooked" taste
objected to in pasteurized juices.
Equipment for the laboratory is
rapidly being assembled and within
the next few weeks the chemists
will be able to carry on their expert
ments in their own quarters. AT
present, some of the preliminary
work is being done in other labor
atOries.

QUICK SERVICE
FOR ALL PURPOSES

The impression prevails in Wash
ingtOn that ways are being sought
to continue to regulate agriculture
and industry, even if it takes Con-
stitutiOnal amendments to carry out
the revised program of the Admins
tratiOn.
Formerly it has taken many
months and sometimes one. two or
more years to complete an amend
mcnt.
But we are in the flying age and
If there is a definite demand from
Congress on behalf of the Adminis-
trs tiOn for a Constitutional amend
ment it can be put through the var
iOGs processes in dOuble-quick or

Ty the proposed amendments to the
different State Capitols in which
there exists perfect harmony with
the National Administration. Cover
nOrs and State legislatures are all
set to furnish quick service.
In just a jiffy and half time two
thirds of the State legislatures can

ments to strengthen the political
policies of President Roosevelt. So,
that's that. There is speed in every
thing nowadays and that includes
serXice for all purposes.

On December IA. the American
Legion Auxiliary will hold their
monthly meeting at the home of
Mrs. Lester Atkins on South Walnut
street. The entertaining committee
being Mrs. Lester Atkins, Mrs.
James A9bbott and Mrs. Edward
Bryant
This is the first meeting since the
installation of officers who are as
follows: President, Mrs. Duane
Lynn; vice president, Mrs. Anthony
Summers; secretary, Mrs. Maude
Frick; treasurer. Mrs. Conner Nit
ten; chaplain, Mrs. George Wells;
historian. Mrs Byron Gibson; SER
genat-at-arms. Mrs. Clarence Smith.
II would be an inspiration to
these officers if the members would
be present So let's all appear at
Mrs. Lester Atkins the said date
and welcome them. Mrs. Lynn is a
very capable person but needs the
support of every member. With Mrs.
Anthony Summer, past president
and now acting as vice president, TO
help her we are sure the auxiliary
will continue to do the wonderful
work this year it has done in the
past.
The Christmas season is ap-
preaching and there are many
things of Importance to discuss, so
attend this meeting and enjoy a
pleasant evening and make plans

COHfInReo from First Page
December 9, for the paving of the
balance Of the Northeast Boulevard.
The grading along this stretch, about
two and three-quarter miles, has
been completed. The highway has
been paved as far as Holly Oak. The
additional paving will extend from
Holly Oak to Claymont, where the
boulevard will join the Philadelphia
Pike.
The commission approved plans
for a sidewalk along the Brandy
wine Boulevard. Contracts will be
issued within a few days for the
construction of a few short secOn-
dary roads in various parts of the
State. Discussion of these projects
occupied much of the time of the
commission at its meeting.
Annual Report Nearly Ready
The annual report of the chief
engineer and the secretary of the
commission are being prepared, and
will be submitted to the commission
about the last of this month.
Mr.. Mack said, about 700 men are
employed on highway projects
throughout the State. They are ex-

experiments, notably in Michigan
yielded a great increase in catchabie
trout.
Until it is known just how this
increase came about" the report
says, 1T is impossible to adapt the
technique successfully to other
states. A series Of experimental
streams, located in various regions
and carefully measured and censor
ed, would throw light on this prob
lem. Analysis of how structural i'm
provements affect the fish problem
must go hand-in-hand with the fur
ther elaboration Of structural de-
signs and materials"
The Technical Committee assert
ed that the effect on fish of the har-
Messing of streams for power, stor-
age, navigation and irrigation had
been "a mass destruction"
One way in which research pro-
jects into fish conservation could
help check this, the Committee said,
was to scatter those projects about
the country in numerous localities
to build up local centers of opposi-
ton to ill-considered navigation or
power projects, destructive of native
wild life. Experience shows that
the momentum of the rolling pork
barrel is otherwise irresistible" the
report said. It designated "the local
university as the best place for
ht1iIdinR I'M local knowledge on
wild life conservation and local SEN
timent in favor of 1t.
The fish research program Of the
Committee calls for a study of fish
cropping in lakes, and of erosion,

FARM INCOME SHOWS
CONTINUED GAIN

Farmers cash income from the
sale of their products amounted to
1886, 100000 in October compared
with $751;, 2,OOO,OOO in September and
with $SO2 100000 in October of last
year, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics reported today.
The gain in October this year
over last was due chiefly to larger
sales of cotton and hogs and to the
higher prices of cotton, potatoes,
and dairy products. The peak in
farm marketings and in income from
crops occurs in October. Due to
smaller production of several im-
pOrtant crops this year such as corn,
apples and potatoes, income from
crops increased less than usual from
September to October.
The income from livestock and
livestock products increased more
than usually from September to
October, especially in the case Of
dairy products and hogs. The volume
of sales of these products was rela-
lively heavy this October and was

prices.
Government payments to farmers
in October amounted to $22,O0O,0 900
as compared with $6,000,OO0 in Sep
tember and with $62,O0O,0OO in 0ctO-
ber of last year. The Agricultural
Conservation payments have begun
but are moving somewhat more
slowly than anticipated; present es-
Inmates Of payments to be made in
and December indicate
that total Government payments to
farmers for the year 1886 will
amount to about $500 100000 COM
pared with $5sS,O0O,OOO in 1885. 1t
now appears that farmers total
cash income from their products and
from Government payments for the
year 1885 is likely to reach about
81 800, 900, 900.

Explanation of The Messiah in
Guiding the playing of the "Halleln-

Mr.. Miller gave a short history of
the Messiah" by Handel and of the
writer He said that the Messiah
was an ontario, written by the second
greatest composer of music, the
greatest being Bach. The OrtariO
was written in the reign of King
George 16S5-1759 in England. Han
del was a son of wealthy parents
who were anxious that he become a
lawyer. but he preferred music. He
was driven out of Germany by Prince
George, later went to England and
was surprised to find that the Prince
was then King of England. He be-
came citizen of England and was
made musician to the King. The
King desiring special music for
Christmas, Handel wrote the Mes
siah in twenty-fOur days, and it con-
sisted of two hundred and twelve
pages of music, with the words taken
from the Bible. but il was his mas
terpiece. When it was given one
thousand people sang it with an Or
chestra of three hundred people. the
King standing for the "Halleluiah
Chorus" which is still the custom.
1t was first given i'm this country
in New York City in 1870. and the
whole composition had its premiere
in Boston in 1918. Mr. Miller said
that probably the most wonderful
rendition was at the Worlds Fair
in Chicago when it was sung by five
thousand voices accompanied by an
orchestra of one thousand pieces,
with two conductors. He then had
the "Hallelujah Chorus" played on
the VictrOla so that the students
might familiarize themselves with
the composition.

Now that the election is over,
Washington is beginning to play
crystal gazer, trying to figure out
what will happen to some federal
laws which either are sadly in need
of amendment or should be repeal
ed. -.l
Near the top of the scrutinized
list is the Social Security Act, which
played such a big part in closing
campaign arguments. The truth Of
the matter is that none of the major
candidates was opposed to social Sc
curity. The only difference was how
it should be achieved.
Significantly, many of those who
drafted the original act hold that it
needs amendment. Others who are
capable of long-range judgment be-
lieve that eventually the act will be
so changed that it will hardly re-
semble the present law.
