DEMONSTRATE RODENT
CONTROL In KENT co.
loontlnueu from FIrst Pafel

Ernest NJ. Mills, assistant district
agent for the Bureau Of Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, who will demon
strate the use of various kinds of
poisonous bats in the control of
these rodents.
The removal of grass, weeds and
other materials from around the base
of trees is helpful, but this practice
cannot be relied upon to give COM
plete protection against mice. The
use of cinders or sand mOunded
about the trees does not always
offer adequate protection, and repel-
lent washes are not recommended
due to possible injury to the trees,
consequently poisonous bats are the
most satisfactory materials in con-
trolling these rodents in fields and
orchards.
Although this field mouse control
demonstration has been planned pri-
marily for the benefit of fruit grow
ers whose orchards are infested with
these rodents because of sod culture
or cover crop conditions which are
favorable for harboring mice, there
may be other farmers in the county
interested in these rodent control
measures. In view OF this possible
situation. therefore. an invitation is
being extended to every interested
farmer in Kent county to visit the
orchard on Friday after
noon.

Democrats who are looking to
Governor McMullen to take over the
leadership of the Democratic party
will be sadly disappointed. The Gov
ernOr has no desire to be political
leader and in our humble opinion
has no talent in that direction. If he
continues to muddle up the fighting
clans of his party in the future as
he has in the past, 1910 will see a
greater defeat. In some manner he
has been listening to the wrong
bunch of advisers. We hear It whis-
pered around that the State Commit
tee is going to call an early session
and depose Ralph Baker from his
position as chairman of the Sussex
County Committee. Poor short-sight-
ed leaders, don't they realize that
Baker only represents a group in
Sussex county? Baker can be remov-
ed twice over but the opposition to
the Governor and his political ad-
visers will fall of not one jot but
will probably increase. Baker is only
the outward sign Of the strong Sus-
sex county Democrat body who feel
that they have been unfairly used in
the distribution of patronage and in
some cases they use stronger words
than unfairly. Does the Governor |
think Democrats in Sussex county
are going to stand for the removal
of their chairman after he was leg
ally elected just because another
faction failed to support the Demo-
cratic ticket at the regular election?
A Wilmington newspaper political
writer declares that the Democrats
must have new leadership. What the
party needs is less leadership-not
,nly new hut less. At present every
lne thinks he is a leader and tries
o he so. That is their trOuble-not
lew but less.

THE FAMILY HOLIDAY

Thanksgiving day as observed now
is not the occasion OF such deep re
ligious ferYor as our ancestors mani
tested. Therein the nation has los
something of value. To many people
it is mostly Turkey day" when they
stuff themselves with the years mos
gorgeous feast. The one who eats
the biggest dinner is supposed to
get the most out of Thanksgiving
Unfortunately, the one who eats the
biggest dinner often has the worst
stomachache.
There is one nice feature of
Thanksgiving day which has sur
vived. That is its character as a
family reunion. though such gather
ings are rarely in our day the big
and comprehensive meetings of for
mer years.
The old folks can recall when
most of their families lived in near
by towns. Horses were hitched up in
the adjacent villages. and soon there
was an assemblage of nice sisters
and cousins and aunts and all other
relatives that did one good to see.
Great were the rejoicings when the
power and extent of the family was
thus given a visible demonstration.
Today the young people go where
the opportunities seem the best,
though often they are not as good
as they were at home. Anyway they
go. and may have moved a dozen
times already. 1t is pretty hard to
round up a good family party from
this shifting population.
The folks still like to come back
TO the old home, and 100 or 300 miles
do not look very far in these days
of swift moving cars. The winter
Of aged life looks sunny again when
the sons and daughters thus gather.
The young people feel a thrill of rO-
nance when they see the old home /
from which they set sail on lifes /
adventurous voyage, and when they
meet again the companions of
youthful days of romance. Let us
cultivate the habit of Thanksgiving
homecoming. and make many sacri-
fees to keep it up.

PEACE AT ANY PRICE
Communicated

(COmmunicated)
The following article, received
this week from Mrs. Charles Stuch-
lik, of Milton, expresses the views Of
the Czechs of lower Delaware re-
garding the recent Peace At Any
Price" treaty with Germany which
has dismembered their valiant little
country:
Peace At Any Price
Four very strong words, providing
that price is paid from your own
pockets. But if you hide behind them
and pay from someone else's pocket,
they become just big bluff, joke
in the eyes of the world. A complete
sell cut by two of the most admired
countries in the world, to two mad
men striving not for peace but for
power. Power to rule the civilized
world. That small Democracy of
CzechOslOvakia was progressing too
well for Mr. Hitler. They had min
erals that he could use, money that
I he needed badly and last but not
least, Mr.. Hitler needed a grand
bluff to keep in good standing with
his own German people, who on the
verge of bankruptcy were beginning
to feel that his policies were not so
good.
The Sudeten Mountains were nev-
er part of Germany. This was just
an excuse to start his grand bluff. In
stepped England and France, sworn
allies of the Czechs with their cry,
Peace at any price" Treaties be-
came waste paper, land was given
left and right Not French and Eng
lish land but Czech land. Beautiful
and famous cities, birth places of
ours and our parents, changed
hand over night. England and
France fearing communism picked
the next best, Nazism and made Hit
Ter public hero number one. Many of
you feel Enrope's troubles are her
own, but from your own standpoint,
deep down in your heart, you know
it is unfair and unjust. Those who
were born in Czechoslovakia know
what it is to go back to living in
fear, fear of speech, fear of the
press, fear of worship, fear of the
right to live. Past events may look
black but Napoleon met his Water
loo and so will Mr.. Hitler. This is
just the beginning, you can rest as
sured that the world will not stand
for political sell outs such as these.
1 am proud that I am one of the |
Czech nations daughters, and many /
others living in dear old Delaware.
Please help Czechosloyal1ia. Help
fight "ism" and dictators. Keep the
world safe for democracy.

publieans won because they got to-
gether, they worked in harmony In
stead of wondering what some ene-

but the work that any political par

did it-and that is the answer.
o.
There is one theory that has GER
tainly been exploded and which the
Republicans feared exceedingly, and
that is that because the federal ma
chine as expounded under the New
Deal by granting relief and by MAX
ing work under the WPA and the
PWA would be irresistible, has
surely been settled. Those out of
work wait jobs, not relief. The elec-
tion clearly proved that fact. Those
on WPA or on relief are glad to
have it but it doesn't satisfy the
American citizen or the Delaware
worker. He wants work, regular
work, steady work and he voted the
Republican ticket to get it. Many
Republican workers were crying be-
fore election about the WPA that
would be poled against them. There
wasn't any such thing, and inciden-
tally, that would be a hard trick to
do in Delaware.
The relief vote was supposed to
give the Democrats distinct advan- J
tage and there were cases where the
argument was used but it didn't
essentially-the large ma
iority of people want work. they are
not looking for charity. And this ap-

throughout the whole country.

The election returns will provide
many angles from which, for some
time, various deductions and prog
nastications will come forth. Those
who lost will be telling why and
those who won will carefully ex-
plain Just how it was done. The vie
tory for the Republican Party, how
ever, carries with it heavy obliga-
tions and it is squarely up to the
successful candidates and the lead
ers of the party in Delaware to dem
onstrate to the voters that their
faith was not poorly placed. The
Legislature must carefully consider
with the party leaders just how they
promise. 1t was a fine platform
and it will be carried out, of this we
are sure, but it may take time and
above all it should be done fairly
and properly.
Through all the alibis and all the
claims, there is bound to be more
or less distortion among the pOliti-
cal leaders of both parties. Already
one set of Democrats are blaming 1t
all on another set while both fac
tions combine to blame one or two
persons in the administration. Near

leadership but to come right down |

The canvassers found that the
average period Of disability ex-

causes Is 81 days. Automobile acci-

named before he was born. DR.. Will

felt sure the penguins wouldn't mind
If their f1rst-born were named after
Malcolm Davis, keeper of the Bird
House, in view of the fact that Mr..
Davis had spent almost as much time
worrying about the egg as the proud
parents
DR.. Mann announced further that
Frederick Delano. uncle of President
Roosevelt, arrived at the bird house
while Malcolm was getting his filst
glimpse of the world and just in
time to be named Malcolm's god
father.
Mr.. Delano accepted this honor with
gracious smile. He had never seen
Malcolm, due to the crowd OF earlier
arrivals, but somebody described the
young bird as the image of a fuzzy,
gray, newly Matched chicken with a
long black bill
This description, while it interested
Mr.. Delano, was not quite convincing.
He thought he might drop by to con-
firm 1t in person some time.
Meanwhile, Malcolm was in hiding.
He didn't want to steal the show
from his kid brother. who is expected
to break out of the shell in about
