DIVERSION OF
MOTOR DOLLARS
Delaware Automobile AssO-
citation Says 1t Will Low
er Standards
MAINTENANCE SAFETY

During 1886, states w. ]. Lack
Automobile Association, ANA, the
total amount of highway funds
throughout the United States ex-
ceeded S135, 100000. The result of
each motor vehicle dollar diverted
is less highway and bridge con-
strruction, lower standards of
maintenance, lower safety stand
ards, less adequate highway police
protection, and consequently more
accidents. Last, but not least, a
diverted dollar means fewer men
at work on the roads, in the quar-
ries and cement plants, and in the
transportation facilities which
convey the materials; and, conse-
quently, more men on relief. Mr..
Lackey pointed to recent action of
the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads
in penalizing the State of Mary
land one-third of its normal Fed
eral road appropriation because of
diversion of its own motorist tax
alton to purposes unrelated to
highways and safety. He empha-
sized that the real remedy for the
diversion evil lies in the passage Of
constitutional amendments, "defin-
itely and permanently preventing
the use of motor vehicle funds for
other than highway and highway
safety uses" In Pennsylvania
and Maryland the Rogers-Hol-
strum and Gorfine bills are under
legislative consideration for sub
mitting the question to vote of the
people. In New Jersey the Hen
drickson-DeVoe bill has just re-
Gently passed both the Senate and
the House and is on the desk of
Governor Hoffman. The tempta-
tion to divert motor funds to other
purposes" he continued" is so
constant and so great that your
directors and officers have long
held the opinion that the only per-
manent and certain means of
guaranteeing the integrity of the
motor funds is the adoption of
constitutional amendments in the
respective states, and to that pro-
gram the Association is definitely
committed"

TAKE CARE SURPLUS STOCK
Chain Stores Helping Pacific Coast
States to Move Canned Products

San Francisco, April 5-The Pa
cific Coast surplus of canned Bart
lett pears will be moved into the
retail markets of the United States
this month in an effort to relieve a
troublesome problem which con-
fronts pear growers. This was as
sured with the announcement that
the National Association of Food
Chains will concentrate on canned
pears in one of it's nationwide
Farmer-Consumer Campaigns. The
recently formed Pacific Coast Can
ming Pear Sterilization Committee,
representing the growers of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington,
appealed to American Stores Com
pany and other chain store distrib-
utors with plea that serious
emergency exists. Growers said
they faced disastrous loss in the
oncoming 1887 crop if a large car
ry-over of the 1886 pack were left
in the hands of the Gamers. These
are some of the facts in regard to
the canned pear situation submit
ted to the food chains: There was a
Pacific Coast carry-over of one
million cases on June 1 of last
year. The 1886 pack was in ex-
cess Of five million cases. The av-
erage pack over a five-year period
has been 4,185, 900 cases. The us
ual export in November and De-
cember is about 100000 cases. In
this period of 1886 export sales
amounted to only $4,000 cases. The
Pacific Coast shipping tie-up-due
to the Maritime Strike - seriously
affected the movement of the pear
crop to the foreign and domestic
markets.
Present canned pear stocks are
estimated at over 100000 cases
80 per cent above normal. The
farm value of the Pacific Coast
pear crop, fresh and canned, is
about 100000.
Analysis of these facts means to
the Sterilization Committee that
100000 families must be induc-
ed to eat an extra can of pears this
Spring. At the present time pears
are general reported to be the
weakest item on the canned fruit
list SO the consumer is getting the
benefit of an unusual value.

THAT
BREAKFAST
BY Rev. Q. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

That little breakfast on the
beach always did get me. Some
how l have never gotten over it
and I don't suppose that ! ever
shall. If I were an artist, it would
be the theme of my masterpiece.
Just think of it, Here were
those tired out, discouraged fisher
men who had toiled all the night
and had taken nothing. They were
coming in shore on that misty
morning with an empty net and ar
empty boat
But right at the height of their
Encouragement the risen Christ
greeted them from the beach and
directed them to cast their net or
the other side. And you know
what a miraculous haul they made
But that isn't all. The best part
of it is this breakfast
No sooner had they jumped
ashore than they were greeted
with that delightful odor of frying
fish and browning biscuits. This
was no miraculous breakfast pro-
duced by magic or by the rubbing
of some Aladdin's lamp. These
were real fish and real biscuits
And it was Christ who was cook.
ing them!
They know that it was He. Die
they not notice the nail-prints or
His hands when He served then
with the breakfast?

NEW PARKING
SYSTEM, DOVER
LOOckerman Street Regula'
tions Are Expected to I'M
prove Traffic Conditions
TWO-HOUR TIME LIMIT

New parking regulations on
Loockerman street, Dover, went in
effect Thursday, April and every
thing is in shape to enforce the
new regulations. The new system
of parking is expected to greatly
improve traffic conditions on the
street. Under the new regulations
parking will be parallel to the
curb on both sides of the street
with a two hour limit in effect
from two o'clock in the morning
until six o'clock in the evening be-
tween State street and Governors
avenue and between seven o'clock
in the morning and six o'clock in
the evening between Governors
avenue and Slaughter street.
Change in the time limit FOR the
area between Governors avenue
and Slaughter street, with the eff
fective time being changed from
two o'clock in the morning until
seven o'clock in the morning, was
made by City Council after the
original ordinance was adopted
and is proving somewhat unpopu-
lar since regulations as they now
stand will not eliminate the all
night parking that has been effec-
tive in that area and caused the
crowded condition of thel street at
that point during the early morn
ing hours. In preparation for the
new parking regulations, white
parking lines have been painted on
the street and the police depart
ment on Wednesday began teach
ing how to park under the new
regulations. Standards bearing
signs with parking instructions are
being prepared now Dover and be-
ing placed along the street as soon
as they are completed. The police
department is also making a closer
check on the parking close to fire
plugs and are prepared to rigidly
enforce the regultions concerning
the blocking of these fire plugs.

What Is a Good School?

A good public school consists OF
three groups cooperating in a COM
munity Teachers are adults trained
to lead young people in the de-
velopment of the powers of thought
and emotion, and in personal ad-
justment. Pupils or students are
those with undeveloped capacities
of thought, emotion, and social re-
lationships. The third group con-
sists of the parents of the young
people and the general public.
Good teachers are those who guide
the pupils into paths of thought
which lead to nobler living. Good
pupils are those who seek, not only
to learn what they did not know,
but to become what they would
not have been, otherwise. Good
public cooperation supports with
sympathetic understanding the ex-
ecutive force charged with the re-
sponsibility for the young people
placed under supervision.
