OAKHILL COMMUNITY


est Cleaned About Eeighborhood
Delaneys, April 9.-An enthu-
siastic, vigorous crowd packed the
Oakhill Community Hall Monday
night at one of the most outstand-
ing evenings experienced in the
Oakhill Community League since
its inception. A record crowd join
ed in singing in preparation for the
Kent County Adult Education Ag-
gregation held in the Smyrna High
School Tuesday evening. Following
a concentrated rehearsal at the ev-
ening singing class the younger
folks indulged in an hour of the
old-fashioned square dancing, a
constant source of enjoyment to all
the League members. Music was
furnished for the dancing by the
ever dependable "Oakhill Ramb-
lers," strong group of enthusiast
tic musicians haling from Oakhill
and vicinity. To add spice to the
evening a radio was installed by
one of the members and refresh
Iments were sold completing a most
satisfying night of recreation and
entertainment.
A selected group of League mem
bers with the help of the faithful
"Ramblers, presented a very
unique exhibition of the prettier old
fashioned square dances in the
Smyrna High School at the annual
Adult Education Convention Tues
day night.

though some subterfuge might neeo
to be employed; the flow of new capi-
tai into different uses would need to
be supervised; prices would have to
be controlled; and some vital inter.

There is something fortnight about

through with every one of the funda-
mental precepts Of economic plan
ming" which in German and Italian
fascism has had at least the benefit
of a consistent evolution Of all parts
of the program at the same time.
For political reasons the New Deal
will not venture to do it, but the man
who can write the best platform for
the New Deal party to be adopted
at the Philadelphia convention Is the
young professor of economics who Is
the true author of most Of the New
Deal principles Of the last three years.

He was q dramatic and literary critic

Accompanying the resolution. when
it was sent to Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace, was q letter. in which the At
titude of the farmers is amplined:
THE men and women signing this
declaration and their forebears have
worked their farms according to sound
soil conservation methods for q much
longer time than any one now living
can remember. Moreover, they are
free, and they intend to retain their
freedom and pass it unimpaired to
their children.
Too Proud for Pork.

Of the average farmer anywhere, but
they are too proud and too independ-
ent to look to the United States Treas
ury for assistance. Furthermore, they
realize that . Treasury which passes
out doles to every section Of the pop
ulation that calls for them will, In
no long time, exhaust both its funds
and its credit, and in the ensuing
crash bring down to ruin those who
have looked to 1t for bounties no less
than those who have been taxed for
its support. West Amwell Township
believes that every pot that Is able
TO do so should stand on its own bot
tom, and that politicians should not
be permitted to invite those groups
in the population whose favor they
wish to curry to dip their hands into
the public Treasury"
In difference to the warning from
the Supreme Court, the new triple A
does not include coercion. There are
no Jail sentences provided for farmers
who plant more than the Government
dictates. The threat of jail to the
farmer for selling bootleg" potatoes
and to the consumer for buying
them-was ended by the Supreme
Court decision. So was the compul-
sorry limitation of cotton and tobacco.
Aside from this, the new triple A. is
much the same as the old one.
New Path 10 Goal.
The original triple A. paid cash
to farmers in return for contracts
signed by them on which they prom
ised to plant only as much wheat or
raise only as many hogs as the Gov
eminent dictated. That system of
direct payments for direct reduction
was ended by the Supreme Court. In
the new triple A. the same purpose Il
achieved indirectly.
A farmer Is now paid to plant GER
tain soil conservation" crops, soy
beans. alfalfa. and the like The soil
conservation crop most recommended
by the Department of Agriculture
bears the curious name Of 'laspedeza."
But the farmer Is given this pay
ment only provided the acres sown In
laspedeza are withdrawn from acres
which ordinarily are planted In wheat.
The payment Is made only for shift
ing acreage from wheat or other
ordinary crops over the laspedeza or
any Of the other crops prescribed
by the Government. The payment Is
based directly on the amount Of wheat
which the farmer promises not to
raise, the amount of corn and there
fore the number Of hogs he promises
not to raise, and 50 on. It Is the old
