The Board of Trustees of the
University of Delaware at recent
meeting approved the recommend
alton of the Committee on Instruc-
tion to extend the Delaware For

Walter Hullihen, president, visited
Geneva last summer and studied
the situation relative to establish
ment of the Foreign Study Plan
and he also recommended the ex-
tension. The extension of the plan
calls for no appropriation whatever
from the regular university funds.
The cost of establishing it, about
$4,000 will be underwritten 81, 500
in this country and $1,000 in Swift

First, farmers are paying off
their debts, at some banks
faster than they were paying
them in 1929. Second, it
means that more of the in
come of many farmers can
now go to buying things in
stead of going for interest.
'Third, the government has
less interest to pay. Fourth,
those farmers whose farms
are now debt-free have a pro-
lection against the future in
that they can now borrow
more easily late in an emerg-
ency. Fifth, it decreases the
general load of debt which
presses down so heavily on
general recovery.

the Treasury itself can make

THE LAND o. LONG AGO

Contributed by Lucy Smith Guseman frc
her girlhoods collection of poems).
There's place called Way-Back-Yonder
Cuddlin' down among the hills,
Thought of which, at Christmas-time.
Stirs my soul with longin' thrills;
And there comes a gentle tuggin
At the feelin's o my heart,
While a sweet voice softly whispers:
1T is time for you to start.
Say, Mr.. Ticket Agent.
What's the fare, I'd like to know,
To place called Way-Back-Yonder,
In the Land o. Long Ago?
Kindly hurry, Mr.. Agent
Somethin's pullin' at my heart
And I've got to have a ticket,
For the trains about to start.
My fancy's full o. pictures
o. the rarest sort o charm,
But the masterpiece to me is
That O. Christmas on the farm;
1t sets my mind to dreamin'.
And starts the tuggin' at my heart,
While my mothers voice is calm:
1T is time for you to start.
1 see the little farm house
At the end o. narrow lane,
And l hear the rhythmic rattle
o. the faithful weather-vane;
I can smell the sav'ry turkey,
And my stomach joins my heart
In unanimously urgin'
That it's time for me to start.
Then hustle. Mr. Agent Man
Seems like you're mighty slow
A-findin' me a ticket
To the Land O. Long Ago;
AhI Thank you. Mr.. Agent
You'll pardon me, 1 know
Now it's all aboard for Christmas
In the Land O. Long Ago.

A Road Menace

The seriousness of glaring
automobile headlights is be-
ing demonstrated at the driv-
ers' test clinic which is being
held in the Hotel DUPONT un-
der the sponsorship of the
Delaware Motor Vehicle De
partment. AS the Morning
News states it:
Here is a case in point.
One individual taking the test
required 80 seconds to recover
from the partial blindness
caused by headlight glare.
This meant that, travelling at
35 miles an hour, the car
would cover a quarter Of a
mile before the driver could
distinguish a pedestrian walk
ing in the road ahead of him"
"Glare recovery is more
rapid with some persons than
with Others" says the News.
"Age has something to do
with it. All drivers, however,
are affected to some extent.
Much can happen during the
period Of vision blur if a car
is moving at a lively pace.
Notwithstanding the fact
that the motor vehicle law
says that headlamps "shall
not project a glaring or daz-
zling light" very many do
just that. Every car owner
who permits this violates the
law.
1T may be well to remind
any who may not know that
the prohibition is specific.
Headlamps, the law states,
shall be deemed to comply
with the requirements in this
particular ''if none of the
main bright portion of the
lamp beams rises above a hor-
izontal plane passing through
the lamp centers parallel to
the level road upon which the
loaded vehicle stands, and in
no case higher than AZ inches
rs feet ahead Of the vehicle"
"The recent motor inspec-
tion is supposed to have de-
tected headlight violations
and required adjus nent of
illegal lights before a car was
passed. These may not have
been easy to detect in day
light for many high-beamed
or high-powered lights are
seen at night"
