VALUE OF DAILY VACATION
CHURCH SCHOOLS

While consciousness of God does
not always become evident as q
result, yet we recognize that even
normal attitudes need fostering and
guidance in order to grow. Prob
ably no part of the church school
program can accomplish this more
adequately than the daily vacation
church school, The informal pro-
gram for the children allows for
natural experiences OF fellowship
with each other and with Cod, both
because Of more opportunities which
follow in frequent succession, and
because of the richer program of ac
tivities through which boys and
girls can be led to experience COM
panionship with God in ways which
have meaning to them.
Daily vacation church school helps
the children to understand the life
and teachings of Jesus, and to grow
in love and loyalty to his cause. The
more consecrated study made pos
sible by the vacation church school
gives opportunity for better under
standing of the facts and back
ground Of Jesus life and the spirit
of his ministry. Growing, develop
ing personalities achieve an under
standing of and loyalty to the church
as a fellowship of those seeking to
know and do Gods will as Jesus has
shown it to us.

them, pertains also to this COM
munity, though there is nothing
like a destruction of the crop, un-
less it may be in few orchards
under exceptional circumstances.
The most noticeable effect as above
indicated are in the orchards that
fruited heavily last year. The early
collapse of so much fruit is unus-
ual and the result of a cause which
in the absence of frost since the
opening of the blossoms, was per-
haps justly attributed to the foggy
morning of the early part of the
week followed by very hot sun.
This was a severe test of their vi
tality, the weaker ones succumb-
ing. We have before us from the
orchard of Charles H. Dulin
branches of both white and yellow
fruit well filled with young peach
es the size of peas, looking healthy
and vigorous, three times as many
as can properly be matured.
The cherry trees that were so
well set with blossoms are said to
be in almost every case devoid of
fruit. The fault here is also at
tributed to the fogs followed by
the hot sun.

IMIDDLETOWN TO
HAVE INDUSTRY
Hosiery Mill to Make High
Grade Products Nearly
Ready to Start
WILL EMPLOY ABOUT 100

Indications now are that the new
Middletown Hosiery Company will
begin operation sometime in June,
in its new modern factory on West
Green street, Middletown. Labor
troubles in the industry in the vi
cinity of Philadelphia is given as
the cause of the delay in beginning
the installation of machinery and
production of hosiery soner, as had
been planned. Mr.. Danna GARNER,
president of the Endurance and
LaSalle Hosiery Company of Phil
adelphia, was in Middletown re-
Gently and thoroughly inspected
their new Middletown property. 1t
is expected that about 20 families
will be moved to Middletown from
Philadelphia, the management con-
sidering it necessary to import this
number of experienced men to as
sure the company's production of
high quality hosiery. It is esti-
mated that 100 operators, both
men and women of Middletown and
vicinity will be employed when the
plant is in full operation. The
proper housing of these workers is
expected to result in the building
of a number of new homes. Mr..
GARNER expressed his intention Of
starting immediate construction of
a new home for his family. The
factory building, as now construct
ed, will accommodate twelve 40
foot hosiery knitting machines and
will turn out only one grade, a
very high quality hosiery product.
1t viii operate on a full-time pro-
duction basis. Unlike other fac
tories that have been proposed and
even started here, the Middletown
Hosiery Company has invested
considerable money in the purchase
of a site and the erection of COM
mendable structure. 1t is expect

CROP OUTLOOK

Outlook Good on May 1st For
Grain and Fruit Over
Whole State
CONDITION OF U. S. A.

Delaware May 1 winter wheat
condition of 80 per cent of normal
on the 10000 acres remaining for
harvest indicates production of
100000 bushels according to the
May 1 crop survey made by the
Delaware Crop Reporting Service.
Production year ago was 1,419,-
900 bushels. The 5-year (1928-32j
average was 1781,000 bushels.
Abandonment of the acreage seed
ed last fall was smaller than US
ua, beng estimated at only 20 per
cent compared with 3.4 percent
last year and the 10-year (1923-32)
average Of 2.3 percent. The acre
age remaining for harvest this
year is about 5 percent above that
of 1886 but s percent below the 5
year (1928-32l average. Rye acre
age remaining for harvest is esti-
mated at 1000 which is the same
acreage as year ago but consid-
erably less than the average. A
May 1 condition of go percent on
this acreage indicates a prospec-
tive production of $1,000 bushels.

ADVANTAGES BEING REAPED
IN THE WEST

Walter F. c. Colt, who went to
Indianapolis five years ago and is
teller in the indianapolis National
Bank of which Theodore P. Haugh-
ey is president, is "home" on a
visit of two or three weeks to his
parents and former friends. Mr..
Colt, like others who have gone
West and found a fortunate posi-
ton, speaks enthusiastically of its
expansiveness and its wonderful
resources and its thrift and enter
prise. Just now Indianapolis is
having an immense boom in real es-
tate Ca renewal at which it was
suspended by the Jay Cook failure)
and building lots are changing
hands rapidly at greatly advanced
figures. One of the chief causes
of this is the recent discovery that
Indiana has running under GER
tain geological formation a belt of
natural gas, found by foring 800 to
1000 feet below the curface, that
is certain to prove of immense
money value to the state. Valuable
wells have been found within twen-
ty miles of Indianapolis, being cas-
lily conveyed to the city in pipes.
1t is expected to increase and en-
large in every way its manufacture
ing enterprises, enhance values of
all kinds. and multiply population
by a vry large per cent. All the
other towns in the natural gas
region, with western pluck and en-
terprise will doubtless seize hold of
this gift of nature which was not
dreamed Of in getting their land
titles, to push their individual and
corporate enterprise to the most
successful issues. One hundred
and eighteen companies have al
ready been organized in the state.
