Warning Issued To Delawareans
To Observe Il Sate-Sane July 4th

Mr.. Dunbar also stated that aside
from the deaths which we may ex-
pect as a result of fireworks, we
will also have our accidental deaths
due to drownings, automobiles,
camping hazards which include
drownings, fires, drinking unsafe
water, poison, boating. If we are go
ing to have a safe Fourth of July
we must exercise extra care against
all of these potential accident caus-
es. In driving or walking, at home
or out of doors, remember that eau
tion will prevent accidents.
Let all Delawareans use that cau-
tion and let us all BE ALIVE ON
THE FIFTH.

teontlnusd from FIRST Pasel

He stated that our country has
lost more lives celebrating its inde-
pendence than we ever lost winning
it. For every Revolutionary War
soldier who returned from the wars
permanently disabled, there were
sixteen persons MANNED, crippled. or
blinded by fireworks during the first
thirty years of the present century.
Also. our war heroes fought for a
purpose and left a heritage for
which many generations have been
grateful-but the man who wastes
his life for momentary thrill leaves
nothing but sorrow to his heirs.

PLAY WITH ME
By TheIma KMoLes

ny HtfN10 n HOtcS
PLAY with me, Daddy!" Four-year-
old Bobbie caught his father around
the knees and looked up pleadingly.
His father stared down at the
earnest little face for moment and
then answered, "All right, Son. Get
out your trains and Wen have a race
with them"
Yes, Daddy"
The child rushed away to get the
trains, and his mother relaxed over
her sewing She hadn't realized that
she was so tense until she smooth
ed out the tightly crumpled bit of
cloth. She still felt rather anxious
until she saw her two men sprawled
on the floor, happily racing their
trains. with many shouts and then
a cry of victory from BObbie: Beat
you that time, Dad! Better hurry
up"
She breathed a silent prayer of
thanks-thanks for the child spe-
cialist whose article she had read.
She had left the magazine open at
that article-held open by the eve
ming paper-and had prayed that
Robert would read it, She compared
the present happy scene before her
to one that had taken place several
days before Robert had come home
from the Office as usual, and as usu-
al. Bobbie had run to meet him and
soon had pleaded. PLAY with me,
Daddy"
Robert had looked down and re-
piled. PLAY with you? Well, If you
won't be a sissy and a crybaby like
you were last time"
Il want to play ball, Daddy, or
marbles, Or"
But Robert had bent down and
swooped the child up, holding him
high above his head. Boobies face
had contorted in terror and he had
screamed as his arms and legs dang
led helplessly. so far from the floor
and safety. The more he had strug-
gled and screamed the higher his
father had held him, laughing at his
struggles.
When she could stand it no long
er Bobbie's mother had protested.
Robert had put the child down with
disgusted remark that the boy
never would be anything but mani
mas boy. If she wouldn't let them
alone. II she'd just keep out of 1t
and mind her own business. the boy
would get over being afraid.
And then she had read this article
by a child specialist about playing /
with children. He had stated what .
she had known: that to play with a .
child meant just that. to play with
him, and not to use him as toy or
a plaything. To play with him meant
playing something where the child
had a chance to win, so that he
would win occasionally.
The article mentioned the many
games a father could play with his
little son, games that would lead to
true sense of comradeship and valu-
able lessons in good sportsmanship.
Robert had read it and had
been won over.
No wonder the mother was happy.
There was good reason to predict
now that Bobbie would not only
grow up to respect his father but
would come to feel very close to
him. And, later on, when he must
meet the puzzling problems of adol-
.scence he would know that his ia
her was a friend to whom he could
.asily and gladly turn. There might
Ne very far-reaching results from
he fact that Bobbie's father was
earning how to play with him now,
when his boy was only four years

lectable in this county on July l. II
will mean a cost of several hundred
dollars if the law stands and Receiv-

Politicians are talking the situa-
alton over daily at the county seat,
and it is believed that some action
will be taken in August when the
General Assembly reconvenes. Many
believe that the act will be repealed,
now that all realize what a grave
has been made. the loss Of
revenue and the extra cost it will in
eur if the law stands.
While it is not definitely known
what the status of Sussex county
will be. with the loss of anticipated
revenue, and an increase of five .
,ents in the tax rate. it is generally
that the Levy Court Com
will not be able to carry
'ut to the fullest extent their pro-
,ram Of expenditures for the fiscal
