Speaks Well For u. of ID.

The showing made by Uni
versity Of Delaware graduates
of the 1889 class in finding
employment is not only an en-
couraging index Of business
improvement but is also a fine
tribute to the individuals
themselves and to the train
ing they have received, says
the Morning News.
"That there were nearly 80
per cent more placements this
year than last by the Busi-
ness Guidance Bureau of the
university and that this figure
is being steadily raised is
most cheering for the 1889
graduates. 1t is also an evil
dence that the Business Guild
ance Bureau is doing a most
helpful work in arranging in
terviews and forwarding ap-
plications where they will do
the most good.
placement of all graduates
from the mechanical and civil
engineering courses and near
ly all in the electrical engin-
eering course shows that
there is still a wide opportun-
ity for those with scientific
training. That virtually all
graduates of the Women's
College who were prepared to
teach in elementary and
grammar schools have found
ready positions should encour-
age those whose training is
still to be completed"

COngested Commerce Street

Commerce Street in the
business section of Smyrna, is
very narrow and difficulty IS
had to find a parking place.
1t was hoped Market Street
would relieve the congestion,
but some people who want to
draw up in front of their
favorite stores to deal find all
available space taken. 1t has
been suggested that our own
merchants and business men
who drive their own car and
park there, might aid the sit
uation by parking their cars
on Market Street and release
the places they usually occupy
to their customers.

Delaware Asks Control
Of Ocean 27 Miles Out

DOVER, DEL.-Delaware has laid
claim to all of the Atlantic ocean
which lies within 27 miles of its
shores.
Jurisdiction Of the federal govern
ment does not extend beyond the
three-mile limit, but the Delaware
senate recently passed bill to ex-
tend that limit, as far as the state
is concerned. to a point 81 miles
offshore.
The bill adds a minimum of ap-
proximately 621 square miles of wa
ter to the 405 square miles within
the states jurisdiction under the
old three-mile limit The addition
would be larger, but for the fact
that the southern tip of New Jersey
lies within the 27-mile limit.
Extension of the jurisdictional
limit Is based on the theory that
coast artillery guns now can shoot
27 miles. When the three-mile limit
was established in 1902, that was
the range of muzzle-loading cannon.

cialized medicine. So how can
one say that some new pro-
gram, involving ra d i C a |
changes and new tax burdens,
will not be presented on some
near tomorrow?
"But there is a more dis
couraging aspect to the White
House announcement. The
Presidents program is so con-
troversial that Congress will
have little if any time for the
development of much-needed
constructive lie gis a t i o n.
Worse still, Mr.. Roosevelt's
decision is bound to make it
more difficult to pass any
Wagner act amendments, not
only because of the time that
must be consumed in consid-
ering his program, but be
cause his action really means
that he will neither approve
nor recommend them. Such
a position is not helpful to
business"
Smyrna times., 1939-07-20

pears to be the only reason
able course to follow.
"Other states doubtless
have problems of like kind.
Where funds are limited, as
generally is the case, gratuit-
les must be restricted in
amount or the number of
beneficiaries reduced. Old age
assistance sponsored by a
state is primarily the states
responsibility. If government
help is conditioned upon ex-
cessive limitations embarrass-
ment may result. The House
of Congress, in opposing the
Senate's plan for a minimum
of $40 per person by
the states, obviously recogniz-
es the harm it would cause"

The Vacation Period

Many parents lose sight of
the fact that the vacation per-
iod is one of grave danger to
the growing child, says the
Easton Star-Democrat. .The
boy or girl just out Of school
feels like the Gagged bird that
is suddenly released from it's
captivity. 1t glories in its
freedom to the exclusion Of all
else. Many of the lessons in
department that have been
learned in the class room are
gradually forgotten as the
child finds it's way to the
street. There is no room in
its heart for anything but the

glories of the present, unless
the parental hand is ever
guiding it's steps. The future
lis a sealed book which will be
opened only too soon for its
purpose.
'Here in the function of the
parent becomes of double i'm
portance to the future life of
the child, for the careful work
and training of the teacher
must be carried on through
the days and weeks of the va
cation period, not to the ex-
tent of hampering the child in
its rest and recuperation from
classroom confinement, or de-
priving it of the innocent
pleasures of life, but rather
the daily impressing upon its
young mind the necessity for
continuing the rules Of con-
duct learned in its house of
study. Children are quick to
learn and equally quick to for
get. An impression may sing
deep today and be forgotten
by tomorrow, but if it is re
peatedly brought to the atten-
tion of the juvenile brain it
will eventually take deep root
and live.
"The teacher is responsible
to the parent for the proper
instruction of the child dur
ing its hour Of study, but the
parent has a double response
bility-to both the teacher
and the child the response
bility Of safeguarding the
work of both"

sought if the amendment is

cry Evening, "to do less than

aware, for example, the min
imum pension proposed in the
Senate amendment could not
be paid unless the Legislature
should increase the commits
sion's annual appropriation or
the number of persons on the
pension roll was reduced. The
Legislature has shown no dis
position to grant more than
the 100000 a year which has
been appropriated regularly
heretofore. And so, it is
doubtful that help could be
expected at this time from
that source. To drop from

tragic.

The Boy Problem

A study OF the DelmarVa
Boy Scout roll, which, accord
ing to Frederic L. Wellington,
the new executive, shows the
largest membership yet at
tanned, reflects the effective
ness of the campaign in low
er Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, as well as
in the rest of the area, says
the Morning News. Gas a re-
suit Of the effort which has
been put forth in the last few
years, there appears to be
equal interest in all sections
of the area. Today's mem
bership numbers 3,202, COM
pared with 1856 a year ago.
While Wilmington has the
largest number, 1922, and
shows the largest gain for the
year, each section has a large
number of scouts and made
substantial progress during
the year.
"This excellent advance
would not have been possible
had it not been that the coun-
Gil had the help of the COM
munities, particularly the vol
unteer service Of men, many
of them Rotarians, who are
interested in the work and
take an active part as leaders.
There were 1,22S Of these vol
unteer adult leaders last year.
Scouting has been advanc-
ing on the Peninsula ever
since it was started. While
at first the interest was cen
tered in Wilmington, the larg-
est population center, it even
tually spread to the suburban
areas, and now reaches prac-
tically every sizeable COM
munity between the Delaware
and Chesapeake Bays. That
the interest is keen in each in
stance is apparent. What has
been accomplished should en-
courage continued effort, for
/ it has been demonstrated that
the scout movement helps to
solve the boy problem"

All Varieties OF
Fish Available
Since Wednesday
Northern Zone Fishing Sea-
son Opens; Lakes are
Giving up Finny Tribe.

The 1889 season for catching all
varieties of bass, sunfish, crappies
and other so-called parrish opens
June 81 in the northern zone of Min
neSota.
Large catches are promised for bass
fishing fans, since conditions in the
lakes have been particularly good
this spring.
Wall-eyed pike, land-locked salmon
and northern pike angling has been
good since the season opened on May
Is, many throughout the Midwest
having caught their limit within g
few hours.
Because the nonresident angling
license in Minnesota has been re-
duced to So per person or $3.50 fol
husband and wife, thousands of per-
sons who get pleasure in trolling
casting and still-fishing have entered
the state for fishing this year.
Fish limits for the pan varieties
are: Graphic, Is per day and Is in
possession; bass Qarge-mouth, small
mouth and Yellow six per day and
IL in possession; sunfsh and rock
bass, Is per day and 80 in possession

Project Will Include Class
Room, Auditorium-Cym
and New Heating System.

Askov is finally assured of its new
school addition. Bids for the struc-
ture were let at a meeting of the
Board of Education Friday night.
Contracts were let to the following
low bidders subject to approval by
PWA, word from whom has not yet
been received: Jensen and Campbell,
Superior, Wis, general construction,
$27,4 42; Elmer R. Johnson, st. Paul,
heating and plumbing, $1O,936; City
Electric Service, Duluth, electrical,
$1,000 Ellerbe and Co. of st. Paul
are the architects. 1t is expected
work will begin Immediately, since
specifications call for completion of
the structure by October l.
Contracts will not only cover the
construction of a building SO feet
long by 80 feet wide at the widest
part, but will include insulation with
rock wool in the old building and
Misunderstanding of all windows
throughout the old structure. Heating
will include a complete new steam
coil heating system with an Iron Fire
man or similar type of stoker. This
will make for more inexpensive and
even heating, according to the Board
of Education.
Opening of the bids marked the
third attempt to let contracts on the
building, but it was the first attempt
with Ellerbe and Co. as architects.
The board twice rejected bids due to
inability to get the building con-
structed under the available appro-
priation, $4,000 of which is being
contributed by PWA.
The new structure will provide
enough additional facilities so that
agricultural and home economic
classes may be added at such time
as the patrons of the school feel fnan-
cially able to support them. Listed
among the Improvements is the re-
modelling of the old gymnasium into
shower and locker rooms for the stu
dents. The old frame school building
will probably be used as an office for
the contractors, after which, according
to vote at the annual election, it
will be offered for sale to the highest
bidder.
