DEMANDS FOR
FARM LOANS
Farmers Planning to Seek
Loans Urged to File Their
Applications Early
INCREASING DEMANDS

B. G. Deputy, Farm Security
Administration supervisor, Dover,
has called upon farmers who an
ticipate obtaining loans for produc-
tion purposes to communicate
with hi mas soon as possible at his
Office in the Parke Building, South
State Street, Dover. Encouraged
by the recent Smyrna incident,
many applications are being made.
Some were not acted upon during
the past year because they were
received late and the demand was
heavy, he said Due to the mar
rowing margin between the cost of
production and the sale price of
agricultural products, demands for
farm security loans are much
greater, he added He stressed the
need of immediate consideration of
credit problems for the next 12
months if the F'SA is to be of max
imum service to the Delaware
farmer. An analysis Of each ap-
plicant's plan Of operation is made
and a method devised to provide
sufficient income to retire loans
with a reasonable time. Appli-
cants are asked to put in their ap-
plications only after they have ex-
hausted all other sources of credit.

SAFETY

Opening of the School Term
Brings Its Responsibility
to Motorists
SAFETY EDUCATION

Last week, $4,000 boys and girls
started another school term. AL
though an academic knowledge is
their ultimate goal, it is of the ut
most Importance that they be able
to utilize their knowledge when
adults, and be able to enjoy the
fruits of their work. In every
phase of life, safety is becoming
increasingly important. In the
schools it is beginning to find its
rightful place as a standard item
in the curriculum. The school of
today is teaching children not only
how to develop his mind and work,
but also how to stay alive. The
Delaware Safety Council stimulat-
ed the promotion of safety educa-
tion in the schools of Delaware and
the outcome has been encouraging
The children have been trained to
avoid accidents to themselves and
to prevent accidents to others.
They have acquired a certain fund
of information and the ability to
apply this knowledge to the situa-
tion automatically. Safety educa-
tion considered from this point of
view is certainly justified when it
results in a substantial reduction
of accidnets to people receiving
such teaching. 1t means some
thing more than the prevention of
accidents. 1t means also the con-
servation of all that goes to make
life worth while: Health, Oppor-
tunity, and the Material Resources
upon which life is dependent"
Safety is the opposite of waste.
With this point of view in mind we
can readily see that a safety pro-
gram is essential, both for children
and adult. Statistics show that
the number of accidents to children
have decreased considerably since
the introduction of safety cam
paigns This is an indication that
they have learned from these cam
paigns to conduct themselves more
safely.

FIREMEN ASK STATE AID

Lewis w. Walker, of Clayton,
was elected president of the Della
ware State Firemen's Association
at Newark last week. Mr.. Walk
er is a railroad man and one of
Clayton fire company's most active
and popular members. Other new
officers are: Vice president, Leroy
B. Truitt, Bridgeville; secretary,
Warren w. Pettyjohn, Of Dover;
treasurer, Caleb w. Johnson, of
Magnolia. E. Paul Burkholder, su-
perintendent of Kent County
Schools, Iauded the volunteers for
their unselfish service throughout
the year and declared that if the
people fully appreciated this ser
vice there would be no need to hold
carnivals to raise funds for the
companies. He also stressed the
need of a more efficient program of
fire prevention in the public schools
declaring that fire prevention was
as important as any course now
taught. Delegates turned down
retiring President Howard F. Shell
don's recommendation that they
empower their new president to
complete" the memorial monu-
ment in Dover to the satisfaction
of our membership" The Della
ware Volunteer Firemen's Associa-
tion will present a bill at the next
session of the legislature asking
that the state increase it's appro-
priation to each of 46 volunteer
companies from $500 to $1,000, ac-
cording to a resolution passed
Wednesday and Thursday in Wolf
Hall. 1t would include any new
company organized and motorized
before January l, 1889. and would
provide customary differentials for
companies operating ambulances.
In presenting the resolution, Will
liam Kirk of the Five Points Fire
Company estimated the value, of
service and cost of operation of the
volunteer fire companies of the
state at $819,7OO. OF this sum he
said $4,000 represented interest on
investment in real estate and
equipment, $1,000 annual reserve
for replacement of apparatus. $I3,-
900 for hose requirements, S11, 500
for heat, light, gas, telephones for
fire quarters, $13, 800 for tires, gas
oline and oil, $1,000 for average
ordinary repairs, $4,000 for build
ing repairs, and $1,000 for extin-
guisher supplies. 1T is scandaIous
and shameful" he said, that every
two years we must go begging, and
pleading, and lobbying before the
Legislature to retain the meagre
pittance handed out to us in return
for one of the most valuable and
necessary arms of the states pro
lection to its people.
