 Agata Bori, cOloratura soprano comes to the Metropolitan Opera Additions of the Air next Sunday with a history that bespeaks a background of the Charpentier's famous opera Louise. Miss Bori too, worked i'm a dress shop which was owned by her father, in Washington, D. c. From a
 musical family her mother was always ambitious for her to sing. She attended the Holy Cross Academy in Washington and lat CT studied voice abroad. However, she does not believe that students should study in Europe because all of the best voice teachers are
 in this country. Miss BOri made her Town Hall debut in New York
 last year, has appeared on the
 Washington operatic stage and is
 at present studying six operas.
 She sings in five languages but regrets the fact that there are very few roles a cOlOratura can sing.
 Mildred Anderson, mezzo- -contral- to from Grand Rapids, Michigan makes her bid for opera fame with an excellent concert and operatic background. Of Swedish parentage Miss Anderson began vocal studies while in high schocol. Later she entered Kalamazoo College and during her six year stay there won three scholarships. She has ap- peared on the concert stages of Europe and America, and is now a native New Yorker.
 Commem0rating the 10th an- niversary of the discovery of rad iun1, an address will be broadcast from Paris by Dr. Francis Carter Wood of the New York Academy of Medicine, director of the Insti- tute of Cancer Research at Col- umbia University, over the NBC- Red Network at 11:O5 a. m., EST, on Sunday. Dr. Wood will describe events at the international con- vention of scientists in Paris, Mo- vember 23-3O, honoring the epo- chal discovery by Pierre and Ma rie Curie in 1898. An information al aspect will be given the radio program through participation of a French and a Canadian sci- enlist. Senator Justin Goddard, former French cabinet minister and member Of the Academy of Medicine in Paris, now president of the International Union Against Cancer, will open the program and Dr. J. E. Gendreau, director of the Radium Institute of the University of Montreal in Canada, will introduce Dr. Wood.

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Some Good Advice For Safe
ty in Going on Summer
Vacation
DON'T OVER DO IT

Going on a vacation? The i'm
portant thing to remember is:
Don't overdo it. We have all seen
the victims Of too much vacation
Recreation is desirable but rest
and relaxation are also necessary.
Vacation trips take people to IN
familiar surroundings where haz-
ards are different but no less ser
ious than those of city streets.
The Delaware Safety Council Of
fers these few points to remember
when going on a vacation:
1. Be sure your car is in condi-
ton for the road.
2. Take your time. The vaca-
ton won't be a success unless you
get there and back safely
8. Avoid long hours at the
wheel. Fatigue not only offsets
the benefits of vacation but makes
it difficult to concentrate on driv-
ing.
A. Camping out? Then watch
out for natural hazards insects.
poisonous plants, snakes 80. and
farm animals, too.
5. Even sparkling spring water
is often unfit to drink. A vacuum
jug filled with water of known pur-
ity is a desirable addition to tour
ing equipment.
6. Eat good food, and don't bolt
it. Don't be an "eat and run"
driver.
Z. Be sure your camp fire is out
before leaving it.
8. Get your exercise gradually
OVERRIDING it at the start may
wreck the vacation.
8. When in a boat be satisfied
with the sea you have chosen.
10. Never swim alone If you
are not an expert swimmer, avoid
deep water and unsupervised
beaches.
IL. Learn something about first
aid and the prone pressure method /
of resuscitation before vacation
time.
II. A coat of tan is something to
be acquired gradually. A sunburn
is often a dangerous burn, particu-
Iarly when it covers large area
Of skin.
ID. Get plenty of sleep. Late
sessions at bridge or poker take
away the beneficial effects Of days
spent in the open.

Nazi Ancestor Worship
Spreading in Germany

Berlin.-Ancestor worship such as
that practiced by the japanese and
Chinese has appeared in Germany
along the Baltic sea coast, notably
in Mecklenburg. which has become
the center of extreme Germanism
and neopagan experimentation.
The head Of the National Socialist
party in Mecklenburg has ordered
that unused chapels be transformed
into ancestral halls" Here ances-
trail tablets will be placed. contain
ing the names and symbols Of fam
lilies in the vicinity.
A regional cultural director Of
the party recently dedicated such
an ancestral chapel It was deco
rated with swastika and the cere-
mony opened with a Chopin pre-
Jude. The party official delivered
an address and then received into
the community of all Germans
six children of a local family.
Like ceremonies are taking the
place of Christian marriage and
baptism in coast villages.

Youth Hostels Now Span the
State of PENNSYLVANIA

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. after the
Youth Hostels Of Europe, there is 4
series Of ten hostels ranging from
Philadelphia west to the Manada
gap and the Appalachian trail for
the enjoyment of citizens who wish
to become autumn vagabonds.
The Horse Shoe Trail Club, Inc
founder Of the hostels. has estab-
lished accommodations for mixers
horsemen and cyclists who roam

The hostel system is similar to
that already in use in New England.
Rates for sleeping quarters are as
low as IS cents night.
St. John Catchpool. director Of the
English hostel movement, pointed
out on a visit to America recently
that if the young people of the world

FARM WORK REDUCES
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

The teachers of our public school
complain Of the dropping off Of
scholars the past few weeks. AT
first it was the result of measles,
the scholars from a family where
this disease existed not being al
lowed to go to school, and since the
first of June the berry patches
have called a. number away. In
some Of the rooms not more than
half the children on the roll were
present. discouraging fact to
the teachers, who like to see their
pupil advancing, as they cannot
do, by such irregular attendance.
This is a matter which should en-
gage the attention of parents who
wish to see their children promot-
ed.

ASK III MILLION
FOR BAY SPAN
w. p. A. Aid Sought For Pro-
posed Span Colchester
to MillerS Island
GOV. NICE APPROVES

Following approval by Governor
Nice, of Maryland, an application
for $11 100000 to build a Chesa-
peake Bay bridge from COLCHESTER
to Miller's Island near Baltimore,
Md, was forwarded to Washing
ton by the Bay Bridge Authority.
Addressed to the Public Works Ad-
ministration, the application asks
for a grant of As per cent of the
sum and loan for the remainder,
executed through federal purchase
of the authority's revenue bonds.
Governor Nice issued a statement
in which he said that his approval
of the separate application Ior a
Miller Island-Tolchester span was
not to be construed as opposition
to the five-point bridge and tunnel
program of the State Roads Com
mission. II feel that the applica-
ton made separate and distinct by
the Chesapeake Bay Authority is
not interfering with or endanger-
ing the program of the State Roads
Commission" he said. 'tTt is SIM

judgment, is the better suited for
a location of the bridge.
1T also becomes on the part of
the Bay Bridge Authority an Of
fetal application to the govern

across the Chesapeake Fay on a
site which in the opinion of the
is the most available site
because of the large amount of en-
work done, data gather

The governor added that the au-
thority's application was being
made in advance Of the five-point

consideration in Washington, and
that sit is simply a matter of ex-
petition as l see it at this time"
For several weeks the Chesa-

DEPARTMENT
WELFARE
Coordination of All Agencies
Under One Board Urged
After Survey
UNDER ONE DIRECTION

Coordination of all public well
fare agencies and Institutions I'M
der a State Department of Public
Welfare operated by State Wei
fare Commissioner was recon-
mended last week in a report OF
the American Public Welfare As
ISOLATION on results of a thorough
study of welfare work in Delaware.
The detailed report will be made
public after it is given further
study. But its general conclusions
outlined by Fred K. Hoehler, direc-
tor of the American Public We'll
fare Association, call for state
wide organization of all state well
fare activities into three divisions
These divisions, each of which is to
have its own trained state direc-
tor, are the Division of Child Wei
fare, the Division of Public As
sistance, and the Division of Aid
for the Mentally and Physically
Handicapped
In an oral review of the report
before joint committee in the
Hotel DUPONT of directors of the
Delaware Citizens Association and
five committees which have been
cooperating in the study, Mr..
Hoehler emphasized a recommen-
dation that all employees below the
rank of State Welfare Commits
sioner be appointed on the civil
plan Of competitive exam
nations. The State Hospital at
the State Board of
Health, and prisons are not includ-
ed in the plan. At the top of the
statewide organization, Mr. Hoeh-
Ter explained, the plan calls for a
State Welfare Board.
The entire plan, he said, could be
a reorganization or enlargement Of
the present State Board of Char
tiles.
The State Welfare Commission
er would be empowered to make
all appointments with the advice of
the six-member board and would
have full authority over personnel.
He in turn, however, could be re-
moved by the board. The plan
provides for a layman's personnel
advisory committee to assist the
director on personnel qquestions
and supervise the competitive ex-
animation system.
The plan calls for a business
manager and for a division of re-
search and statistics with a direc-
tor. Mr.. Hoehler said he thought
a division of methods and proceed
ures, which some states have,
would be unnecessary in Delaware.
The six-member board, which
would be non-salaried, would also
be bipartisan. One member from
each party would be appointed by
the Governor from each county and
the members would have overlap
ping terms of office. Each county
would have its administrative or
with a director for each
of the three divisions in each coun-
