Victory Dinners.

w Ho says New Dealers aren't
w smart business men? That
500 victory dinner means a clear
profit of $94.70, figuring the food at
SIS head and the combined
speeches at 30 cents, which, even if
they average up to most after-din-
ner speeches, is indeed high valu-
alton.
Back in Andy Jackson's day you
you could pay off a campaign deficit

in Thomas Jefferson's time tn e

So, naturally Jeffersonian simplic-
ity and Jacksonian thrift will be
extolled.
Presumably the Republicans will
follow suit with nonvictory din

Hamilton's hope chest. Needy
guests will wear Liberty Leaguers'

Giving Up Earl BrOwder.

For this year decided to give up
Mr.. Earl Browder. I don't quarrel
with his sincerity. He happens,
though, to be the outstanding expo
nent in America of the communist
movement, which has done so much
for human happiness and human
progress in the countries that tried
it, such as Russia.

Signs of Spring.

n UT here the first sign of spring
" is not the birds coming back.
Mainly, our birds don't fit away.
They go mute awhile, being practi-
cally the only residents that even
temporarily refrain from Dragging
about the climate, or, in case of a
cold snap, explaining that this is
very unusual.
With us the herald of spring is
the surf-bather-that hardy adven-
turer who plunges in and comes
forth as blue as an Easter egg and
as defiated-looking as a toy balloon
on the morning after circus day. Be-
cause the Pacific is never VIII
you'd call a real coy ocean and
especially it isn't following a chill
some winter.
We make fun of the bathing suits
our mothers wore. But middle-aged
persons of both sexes disporting on
the beach in the modern skimpies
present a morbid, not to say grue-
some, spectacle, except to students
of the adult human leg, including
the slabby-shanked, the full-calfed,
the bowed, the double-jointed, the
buckled, the knock-kneed, the spav-
med, the ankle-sprung, the heavy
hooked, the varicose-veined, the
fur-bearing, etc., etc.
Sometimes fellow gets to think
ing that right young babies and raw
oysters are almost the only things
that should ever be exhibited on the
half-shell.

under care. In cooperation with tn,
State Board of Charities and witt
Federal funds made available for the
purpose, complete survey of the
cases under the care OF the society
is being launched. The survey will
make possible study of the present
conditions and needs of every child
already placed by the society. A
thorough study will also be made
of free, adaptive, work and wage
homes for the purpose of safeguard
ing the interests, of children and
preventing their exploitation.
The reorganized plans OF the So
ciety set up procedures for provid-
ing children under care with prop
er clothing together with medical,
surgical, dental and optical atten-
ton. Special study homes are being
set up where problem children can
be observed and the best type of care
determined. Boarding arrangements
have been worked out for temporary
care while children are put through
various clinics or while their own
homes are being rehabilitated.
These essential and vital services
require the addition of case workers
who are qualified to study, place and
supervision of the children under
care. This enlargement and i'm
provement of service will require a
much larger expenditure of funds
tina nthe society has ever used be-
fore. The appropriations provided
by the State Legislature in recent
years have been too meager to make
possible the most effective and suit
able program of child care. The
work as now outlined will necessi-
tate generous contributions on the
part of the public. individuals are
urged to become members of the So
ciety and by personal contributions
make possible an enlarged program
OF child welfare.

its care and supervision now. There

now before the legislature.
Through the old-age benefits pro-
gram, workers in commerce and in

Children and Aged Helped
The board stated that under state
federal public-assistance programs
approximately 3,050 of the states
needy aged and $50 dependent chill
dren in 400 families are receiving
regular cash allowances from funds
provided in part by Delaware and
its local subdivisions, and in part
by the federal government.
1t is estimated that in March Del
aware will pay out from combined
federal, state, and local funds a to-
tai of $44,600 for public assistance,
OF which $32,600 is for old-age as
sistance and $4,000 for aid to de-
pendent children. In January, aver
age individual payments to the two
groups were: Aged, S10.6S; and de-
pendent children, sl2.03 per child or
$29.44 to each family These esti-
mates are based on reports to the
Social Security Board since the
states plans have been in operation.
Delaware's old-age assistance plan
became effective in February 1886.
md that for aid to dependent chill
lren in August, il was stated. All
old. Delaware has received federal
grants of 224,763.03 for public as
'istance. OF this total, the federal
for old-age assistance
.Omes to $19l, ,116.2S and for aid to
dependent children to $33 3.646.75.
The board pointed out that before |
Delaware began cooperating in these /
provisions it had already made GER
ain state provisions for assistance
q these two groups. II has had
tate law for aid to dependent chill
ren (mothers' add since 1917. Its
ld-age assistance law was passed
n 1881. and in 1885 about 1869 of
he needy aged were aided. Com
arabic figures for the number of
hildren previously aided are not
valuable. The state has not had a
pecific law for aid to the blind.
In addition to participating in
hese programs for which the Social
ecurity Board is the federal ad-
agency. Delaware is al
o cooperating in social security pro-
rams directed by other federal
gencies.

the individual enjoyment of those
who attend the various affairs rather
than for any purpose of raising funds

Continued from First PdSel
were met by the host committee of
the Lewes Chamber of Commerce
where the motorcade tour of his
toric and present day Lewes began.
The entire student body of the
Lewes School with the high school
band was out to welcome the Gov
ernor, who stopped and made them
brief address.
Passing on down Savannah Road
in the mOtorcade of 50 automobiles,
headed by Mayor David w. Bur-
bage and conveyed by two motor
cycye state police, Howard Britting-
ham and Clarence X. Lynch. of
Lewes. thee cars stopped at the
Beebe Hospital where the student
nurses were lined up on the front
lawn in their white uniforms.
The procession then passed
through the town over route which
had been marked with large black
mentioned in the printed guides. At
4 p. M, the party proceeded out to
Lewes Beach and past the Lewes
Coast Guard Station to be welcom-
ed by the crew of guardsmen in full
regalia.

KENT FRUIT GROWERS
GET ORCHARD NOTES
TCOnfinned from First Paqel

lOUHfMHfH from FTH rage
regard to spray materials and time
Of application in the control of or
chard insects and diseases.
The first edition for the 1897 sea-
son was mailed from the Kent Coun-
ty Extension Office on February %.
and called attention TO the import
ance of dormant sprays for both ap-
pie and peach trees, and the neces-
sity for apple growers to scrape their
trees as a supplementary measure
in the control of codling moth.
In the second edition of these
spray notes mailed on March 30, it
was advocated that early plowing
be practiced at once in apple or
chards to turn under over-wintered
scab leaves, as this will greatly re-
duce the source of infection. Com
pared with last year, bud develop-
ment at this time is at least a week
ahead, and this condition is true also
with reference to the development
and maturity of over-wintering scat.
Dormant sprays have been more
extensively applied than usual, espe-'
cially the use of the tar washes.
Where this spraying has been COM
pleted it is still essential to apply
a delayed dormant of scab strength,
using either lime-sulphur to 100,
or a 4-S-100 Bordeaux mixture. OPP
tional combinations, however, are in
cluded in the spray notes regarding
the delayed dormant spray.
With references to peaches, Dr..
Adams states that control or preven-
tion of blossom blight by spraying
at this time is considered cheap in
surance. A pink spray should be
applied, using a wettable sulphur
