CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY
LAYS PLANS TO MEET CRISIS

The Board of Directors of the
Delaware Children's Home Society
will meet tomorrow Friday, June
Both, in an effort to work out
plans for the continuance of es-
sentiaI services to unfortunate
children. The failure of the Leg
islature to make any appropriation
for it's work created crisis of
such serious proportions that it
was feared the Society might have
to close its doors and turn over to
the State the children now under
care. A survey of the situation in
the state reveals that no other
private agency is financially able
to assume the responsibility for
the children under the care of the
Smyrna times., 1939-06-29

Society. A number of cases had
to be turned over to the State be-
cause funds were not available to
care for the children properly.
However, the Legislature approved
only about one half the amount re-
quested for Child Welfare Work by
the State Board of Charities. The
Society is reluctant to place the
care of nearly 100 boys and girls
in the hands of the State when no
financial provision was made to
enable the State Board of Charities
to assume such large additional
burden. The Society is preparing
a special financial appeal to cit
izens of the state to enable the
Society to continue it's work.

CHILDREN STILL
 DEFY HIGH COURT

Greenfield. Mass, April 25. = (UP) = William, Dorothy and Glor- ia Johnson continued to defy the U. s. Supreme Court today by re- maining in school and refusing to salute the American flag.
 During school vacation last week, the court ruled that the school com- mite had acted properly in ex- polling the pupils last October for refusing to comply with the state compulsory flag salute law.
 During the courts consideration of the case, however, the school committee had reinstated the pupils and yesterday they attended for the first time since the decision. The committee has not indicated whether 1t will order their expulsion again.
 Members of the religious sect, Jehovah's Witnesses, the three chil- dren say they will pledge allegiance only to God.
