ed to be used by the Georgetown
troop of boy scouts.
The Georgetown Kiwanis Club
about eighteen months ago started
to raise funds for the construction
of the cabin for the boy scouts. but
it finally developed into a commun-
ity affair. Finally an agreement was
reached whereby WPA agreed to fur
nish the labor il the cost of the land
and materials were borne by the SER
vice clubs and residents. II, there
fore, developed into community pro-
ject. and will be used by any organ
ization desiring to use it.
A board of trustees likely will be
named to look after its upkeep and
see that the building is not abused.
Sufficient funds have been contri-
buted by the Kiwanis Club and Sus-

Present day camp meeting grounds
have practically the same appear
ance as they did half a century ago,
except that old-time firestands, upon
which lightwood knots were placed
to give light. have given way to cleo
trio lights, in most instances. Tents
and cottages now are better con-
structed and more comfortable.
AS this in "off-year" in politics in
Delaware, political discussions will
not occupy the spotlight on the out
side of the grounds as much as if it
were election year.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food YOu Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.
TOMATOES

"a
Tomatoes, whether fresh, canned,
or in juice, are one OF the cneapest
and most reliable sources of vitamln
| c. Delaware tomatoes are plentitui
and of remarkably good quality.
Lack of vitamin c in the diet Will
cause scurvy. Scurvy was the dreao
OF ancient sailing vessels, where long
trips made any kind of fresh food a
problem. Sailors early discovered
that lemons and lines had some spe-
cific action in preventing scurvy. In
deed, one old sea captain reported
that he prevented scurvy on his ship
by forcing his men at the point OF
sun to take their daily quota OF raw
onions.
Every mother knows that doctors
advise either orange juice or tomato
juice for babies. Both orange juice
and tomato juice are good sources OF
yitamin c. In Delawa tomato juice
is usually cheaper.
Tomatoes are one of the few foods
which retain their full amount of
Vitamin c when cooked. For this
reason canned tomatoes and canned
tomato juice are an economy thru
out the year since they can be used
10 replace more expensive fresh
fruits and vegetables.
Tomatoes and tomato juice are easy
to can at home. If tomatoes are
served three times per week, IL to
16 quarts of tomatoes should be
canned for each member of the fam
lily.
Directions for Canning
Select perfect, ripe tomatoes. Drop
into hot water for two minutes. Re-
move skin and core Pack into cold
jars which have been sterilized by
boiling. MANY people prefer to boil
the jars the night before.) AS each
Jar is packed. press the tomatoes
down firmly with the finger tips. A
well packed jar of tomatoes will
have the jar almost ga full of juice.
Do not pack above the neck of jar.
Add 3-4 teaspoon salt to each jar
but do not add any water. Adjust
top and set in deep pan of water
to cook. Process for 80 minutes after
the water has started to boil.
Tomato juice may be prepared by
stewing ripe tomatoes, straining the
pulp and seeds, and then, sealing in
sterile containers. Extra bottles.
sealed with sealing wax, make con-
venient and economical containers
for tomato juice Tomato juice which
is to be used for a baby should not
be highly seasoned.

during the entire campaign. The lane
employees have spent considerable
time in an inspection school held in
Dover, under the supervision of our
motor vehicle commissioner Accord
ing to Accident Facts, brochure re-
leased by the National Safety COun-
Gil, 159o of all motor vehicle acci-
dents are directly attributable to
faulty equipment.
Owners can greatly relieve the con-
gestiOn at the official inspection
lanes by having their car examined
prior to presenting II for official in
spection. No repairs or adjustments
will be made at the safety lanes. Car
operators are expected to have re-
PAIRS and adjustments made at their
regular service station. In previous
campaigns, faulty headlights and
brakes have been the two features
causing the largest percentage of re-

According to the officials of the
Seaford Light & Power Co., the out
put at the local plant is about dou-
bled over what it was year ago. and

power continues to increase it will
( be necessary to run all three engines
of the plant at one time to take care
of the peak load. At present, two en-
gines are necessary to take care of
/ peak loads each day. Because of the
demand for more electricity. Town

A meeting was held in Georgetown,
with attorneys for the Hurley inter-
ests. the Town of Seaford, and an at
torney at large sitting on the con-
ference. After considerable discus
sion, the decision was reached that,
owing to legal complications and re-
strictions of the town charter and for

City Police Make Quick Capture
 Of Thief Suspect

Calvin Shortridge, several years Juneau resident, working at odd jobs, had a thirst this morning.
 With a handy rock Chief of Po- lice Dan Ralston said, Shortridge smashed the window of the George Brothers Liquor Store, reached in, helped himself to one jug of wine and two quarts of whisky.
 That was at 2:30 o'clock this morning MT. and Mrs. Nick Ba- yard, residing over the nearby Cal ifornia Grocery, heard the racket accompanying the smashing of the window, and called police.
 City police at 2:50. twenty min utes after the act had been com mitted, apprehended Shortridge who police said was trying to run with his alleged booty down the Alaska Dock and Storage Com pany wharf.
 Twenty minutes had been hard ly long enough to enjoy the pil- fered prizes and the wine jug alone had been sampled, and but briefly, police said.
 Today, Shortridge is in the City Jail awaiting trial on charges of breaking and entering.
