medicine program"
COOPERATIVE EXPERT
The priest is Rev. George A.
Mcdonald, S. j., of st. Louis, a
member of the Summer School OF
Catholic Action, which Is holding
forth this week at the Washing
ton Hotel. For 10 years or more,
Father Mcdonald has been study
ing the cooperative movements
and his travels have taken him
the country over.
THE trouble with the entire
medical field today" Father Nc
Donald said, "is that doctors
dictate who they shall and who
they shall not treat. 1t should
be the other way around, with
the people having the say con.
corning treatments.
LOW INCOME GROUP
"When you consider that
about 85 per cent of the aver
age income of the nation is
$1,000 a year and less, it may
readily be seen that some form
of consumer cooperative move
ment regarding m e uicine,
whether it be group health or
whatever name you please, Is
bound to succeed.
This type of movement Is no
stranger in the rural sections OF
the country" Father McDon-
aid said, "but came to the fore
front only recently when the
$1,000 and $4,000 employees in
cities, who just couldn't afford
medical service on their salaries,
began banding together for
their own protection"
INDIANA PLAN
Father Mcdonald told Of an ex-
pertinent, which started more than
five years ago, in an aptly named
town-Economy, Ind. There, he
said, four physicians tried to make
a go of an independent practice
but failed because OF the poorly
paid residents.
At length a consumer coopera-
tive medical movement was
started A physician, guaranteed
$125 a month, made up from dues
of S1.3O a month collected from a
little more than half of the towns
200 families, was hired by the CO
operative.
To-day that physician has
three or four assistants, Father
Mcdonald said, land the town
has an ideal medical service"

SUSSEX COUNTY Republicans
nominated a strong county ticket at
their primaries last Saturday with a
minimum of friction. Headed by
Francis F. Morgan, for Clerk of the
Peace. each candidate for a court
house job is a man of outstanding
ability. They are men whom all vot-
ers may vote for with the utmost con-
fidenee that when elected they will
administer the affairs of the County
efficiently and to the best interests of
all persons resident in the County.
The candidates in the ten districts for
Representative in the General As
sembly are all men who are capable
of representing the County in the leg
islative body of our State govern
ment. For State Senators men of out
standing ability are presented. Ed
ward Brown, of BridgeYille. candi-
date from the First Senatorial Dis
trict, is one of the most prominent
business men in upper Sussex Coun-
ty. 1t is his first attempt at political
office. In the Third District Alden
p Short is a bank director. owner
and operator of large farming in
terests and a dairyman of outstand-
ing ability. He understands the
needs of the County and State and
should make an excellent Senator.
In the Fifth District Harold W. T.
Purnell, of Georgetown. is an ener-
getic business man, a past Grand
Master of Delaware Masons and one
of the best informed in lower Della
ware in matters which will come be-
fore the. General Assembly. The tick
ct has been named. 1t is one that
should command the support of all
Republicans, and that should attract
thousands of men and women who
desire efficient State and County |

AN EFFICIENCY sTMULANT

THAT the survivors of the 59th
Pioneer Infantry Regiment have an
interest in the well-being of the 19Sth
Regiment, A. A., National Guard Of
Delaware, is evident from action Ia
ken at a recent meeting of the as
ISOLATION formed by the Pioneers. A
committee was appointed to develop
suggestion that the 59th Associa-
ton make an annual award to the
member of the 19Sth Regiment or its
successor who has contributed most
to its efficiency during the proceed
ing year.
An award such as is proposed made
annually to an outstanding member
of the National Guard regiment would
perpetuate the memory Of the mill
tary unit which represented our
state in the World War. The hope is
that the seth never win be forgotten.
It served we'll in every task to which
its members were assigned. Edi-

STRICTLY POLITICAL

ties, the Sussex County Republicans
have passed through a splendid pri-
mary with but little friction and
with a harmony that could not be
had few years ago when so many
"kickers" were tied up In the party.
The Sussex county ticket, like those
of the other counties, is composed of
high grade men who stand. for bet
ter times for Delaware, and are
REAL members. of the Republican
Party.
10
Like the Republicans of old, the
Democrats in Sussex are in one
sweet mess right here before cleo
ton time. We can only say to the
Democrats-just as soon as you can
get that rule or ruin" crowd out of
your Democratic party the better
you will be off. The Republicans
have been hampered with II for a
number of years and now that they
are clear of it they are taking on
new life and the party is beginning
to look forward to going somewhere.

October 22 Is Registration Day. Go
to your election district on that day
and get registered. II you have nov
ed from another district go IN person
to your old voting place and get a
transfer and then file It 10 the new
voting district. Be ready to vote on
Election Day.
The Sussex County Primary is oy-
er with but few clashes and out of
the vote has emerged a ticket thai |
can be pointed to with pride. The
nominees for senator's are we'll <
known throughout the county and in
some cases throughout the State.
Charles Edward Brown of Bridge
vile is well known as a produce
buyer and commission agent and he
and his agents buy up most Of the
holly wreaths made in Sussex coun-
ty for Christmas. Alden P. Short, a
of an old and illustrious
family of Sussex is prominent far
mer and dairyman and has personal
control and supervision of one OF the
best farms in the county. He Is al
so a member of the directors of q
Laurel bank and is a member of the
Rotary Club. Harold w. P. Purnell,
4 Georgetown business man, has al
ways been active in public projects,
head of Sussex County Boy
Scouts, and a vice president of the =
Delaware Safety League and past L
yrand master of Masonry. These
hree men are hard to beat in intel
igence, activity for public good and :
interest in the affairs of Delaware.
The other members of the ticket are
Ip and coming young men with q d. !

THE CAMPAIGN in Delaware is

THE CAMPAIGN, in Delaware is
now in full swing. Party leaders, are
sending high pressure speakers into
all sections of the State to sell Their
candidates to their constituents. AS
the battle enters it's first stage, il
is well for DelawaFeans to read care
fully the platform of the Republican
Party. The document is one of the
most concise, constructive and clear
ly defined instruments presented to
residents, of our Commonwealth in
many years. There is no quibbling-
but rather a straightforward declara-
ton of principles upon which the
Republican Party asks the support
of all clear thinking persons.
In the matter of proper pensions
for Teachers in our Public Schools
the issue is met squarely with pro-
vision advocating sound system
which will provide security for our
educators. In the matter of taxes,
which affect every individual in the
State, economy is promised. The
Republicans stand clearly for a re-
duction in the automobile taxes, the
drivers license fee and other nuis-
ance taxes which should and could
be eliminated. They promise to OPP
crate the State and county govern
ments, when elected, efficiently and
with the thought of economy always
in mind. The platform is one that
brings encouragement and a direct
promise and pledge on the part of the |
Republican party to undue many Of
the wrongs which the Democrats
have allowed to creep into the man
agement of State affairs during the
past two years. 1t should be read
carefully.

There is no doubt but that the Re
publican platform this year is a
progressive piece of work and is out
standing in its plain Outspoken stand
on questions that are of Interest TO
Delaware. Already other states have
sent for copies of it and it is really
a document of which the Republican
Party should be proud. Tine splendid
thing about it also happens to be
that it was not the effusion Of any
one man but was the result of many
conferences and the meeting of
many minds in the party. Unlike so
many party platforms it does mot
point with pride or view wsth
ALARM" it simply states clearly and
distinctly what the Republican Par
ty in Delaware stands for this cleo
ton. One of its planks has already
met with interesting comment when
the Wilmington Teachers Associa-
ton voted active campaigns for the
retirement plan and the yearly sal
airy increases for which, tae RepuD-
lican platform stands ana concern
ing which the Democrats COnven-
ton backed and filled until it was
finally left out.
Now after the great promises made |
the farmers by Mr.. Wallace, the Uni !
ted States Secretary of Agriculture.
whose AAA was going to put the far
mer up in the millionaire class, Mr..
Wallace finds his plans are all
wrong and he is putting the act
through the wringer with a COM
pletely new shake up in his officials.
Unfortunately, it has cost the far
mer considerable money for him to
try out his experiment and it doesn't
pay them any money for their lost
profits by his saying 1t was a mis-
take. It was his mistake; but the
Delaware farmer is paying Sor 1t.
When they go into any grocery store
and see the pork, meal, flour, butter,
cheese and other farm products that
are being displayed for sale and
have come from some foreign cOun-
try il certainly must make them see
their mistake as we'll as Mr.. Wal

That's a swell idea Roger agreed.
 Jackie thought anything would be better than this third degree. She slipped upstairs to get a light wrap.
 Well" she said. as soon as they were settled in Rogers long, low roadster, what do Jou think of your hot idea now? If you knew all I've been through" She gave tremendous sigh anI settled down deeper into the seat. She put her head back. so that she could look up at the moon, which instead of being full and round now. was only sil- very silver. Shopping for trous- seau and planning big announce ment party and people saying they'll give me bridal showers and ques- tions and questions and questions. You've no idea" Jackie finished darkly.
 Roger glanced down at her. She looked 50 sweet and lonely. He had been driving at what was practically snail's pace since it NOllOSliLlOll DlIdD lOuI ed conveyances were far more dan gerous than those with wings, but now he drove even more slowly. I've got something to tell you, he said. Something terribly import ant" But for some reason he did not tell her right away. Instead he did something he had had no in- tention of doing at all. Maybe it was the fault of that silver of moon, or because Jackie turned to look up at him. He bent and kissed her full on her pretty fresh young lips A breathless sort of kiss, like a test dive, like a flight to the moon itself.
 But it only lasted for second. Jackie swung strong young arm; a resounding slap struck him squarely across his jaw.
 "If you ever try that again." she cried furiously. And then she did the most unexpected thing in all the world - for Jackie. She burst into tears.
