Justice Served
 kByCash Payment In Court. Today

Judge Edward Mascolo played the role of Solomon in city court today.
 Seems that James Martone, 30, dancing teacher with studio at 100 Grand street, wanted to dis tribute bills and posters advertis- ing his establishment.
 So he hired Richard Angelic, 16, of 492 West Main street, a Leav- enworth high school student. to do the job.
 According to Angelic in court to- day, at the end or four days of such work, he had received 35 cents. So he quit.
 Last Monday the boy and two companio4 were going to a movie. On East Main street they met Martone, who, according to An- gello and his two friends, grabbed him by the shirt, shouting:
 "Why did you quit? What did you want? A dollar?
 And he, according to the lad. angrily threatened to "spit in his eye"
 The boy frightened told his mother, who had Martone arrest ed.
 In court today Judge Mascolo asked Martone:
 Have you $2.j5?"
 "Yes," answered Martone. "Pay 1t to Angello,' said the judge.

 Dr. Francis M. Crowley, Ph.D., dean of the Fordham Graduate School, will be the guest of honor and main speaker at the dinner. Dr. Crowley is regarded as a bril- liant speaker and is held in the highest regard in scholastic circles, in which he is extremely we'll known.
 Accompanying Dr. Crowley to Waterbury for the event will be the Rev. William J. Duane, s. J., and the Rev. Daniel F. Hart, s. J., director of the Mt. Manresa Re- treat House on Staten Island.

Secretary of War Johnson Pays Tribute to Local

Special to The Democrat)

Special to The Democrat)
 New York, April 6. - High praise for the educational orders program which was sponsored originally in Congress by Congressman J. Joseph Smith was given last night in an address by Colonel Louis Johnson, assistant secretary of war, at the National Industrial Preparedness dinner here last night.
 There are 349 factories in Con- necticut in the war departments mobilization plan for wartime man. ufacture of munitions, Colonel John son stated. In all, there are 10000 such plants throughout the country.
 Congressman Smiths program, said the speaker, made it possible for the war department to prepare many factories for possible wartime production. The program, he said, would enable the government to prepare factories for manufacture of munitions and other essentials in case of war.
 Colonel Johnson appealed to man. ufacturers, especially those in the industrial East, to cooperate with the government in it's program. He asked that every courtesy be ex- tended to war department procure ment officers, who are now visiting factories about the nation.

STAFFORD BOOM DRAWING
MANY SEEKING WORK

Seaford became the mecca for hun
dreds of workers seeking employment.
at the beginning of the new year.
These workers evidently thought con-
struction work on the $S,OOO,00O, 900
textile plant of the DUPONT Company
there would begin at the opening of
the new year.
It is estimated that from 300'to 500
workers, including carpenters, masons,
plumbers and laborers visited Seaford
Tuesday of last week hoping to secure
jobs at the new plant.
Construction work on the plant has
not begun. These workers, coming in
motor vehicles and on foot were prin-
cipally from nearby sections, with a
scattering of people from the eastern
cities.
This vanguard of workers gave Sea-
ford an idea of what to expect when
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-01-13

the workers in the plant after it is
built may make Seaford their future
home, local contractors and real es-
tate firms say that by that time there
will be enough new and modern homes
built there to take care of all who
move from a distance to Seaford.
In anticipation Of increased work at
the site, the several families who have
been living in their properties since
their sale to the DUPONT Co., have
been notified that they must vacate by
January 16. All four of the former
landowners have made provisions for
this contingency, and are preparing to
quit their homes during this coming
week. '9"

HOLIDAY DIVERSION WAS
SLASHING AUTO TIRES

It isn't very desirable to. report the
action of some party or parties who
during the holidays went about Onley,
Va, slashing tires.
Yet this occurred the last day of
1888, Saturday, December 81, between
9 and $3.50 o'clock and the Business
Mems Association of that town has
offered reward for the arrest of the
parties guilty of same.
According to reports Nat Wescott,
Lloyd D. Taylor, David Belote, John
Stanley Lewis and Mrs. Elton Belote
had the tires of their cars damaged
while on business or attending the
movies at that place.

FEED TURKEY in
WINTER SEASON
FOR COMPTON

Breeding turkeys lose weight stead
lily during the laying season but they
can stand this loss if they are fed lib
orally through the winter so they will
be in prime condition when the lay
ing season starts, according to Wade
Il. Rice, Poultry Specialist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
He points out also that most poul-
trymen select young hens and young
toms from the spring flock to hold over
as breeders and only by liberal feed
ing will they reach full growth by the
time the laying season starts.
Rice calls attention to breeding
flock feeding studies by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Under or
binary winter conditions in all but the
northernmost section of the United
States, with some green feed such as
hay and plenty of sunshine, it was
found that breeding birds kept in good
condition if they had all they wanted
of good growing mash, the same as
fed for finishing holiday market birds,
together with scratch grain, plenty of
water and gravel or some other insol-
uble grit.
A recommended mash is: Bran, IL
parts; middlings, IL parts; ground
oats, IL parts; ground yellow corn,
33 parts; alfalfa leaf meal, 6 parts;
meat scraps, IS parts; dried milk, 10
parts; and salt, 1 part. This ration,
together with scratch grain, water and
grit, should be continued until at least
one month before the hens are expect
ed to start laying, after which time
a laying ration should be provided.
When winter weather is severe and
birds must be confined, the growing
