It's rather a snowy place with a
big black counter, a diorama Of the

Of taxpayers have visited it since its
recent opening, some to ask CUES
tions, some to display their knowl-
edge Of the city and some to see
what they got for their money. The
askers have been and still are in
the majority. Mostly they want to
know how to get to various points,
especially Brooklyn. that borough be-
ing unknown land to many New
Yorker just as it is to me. Another
popular question is how to get out
to LaGuardia field, which is New
York's S45, 600. 900 airport and which,
up to the opening of Information

|FSA BORROWERS
MEET IN DOVER
To Review Each Family's
Farm and Home Ac-
count Book
DISCUSS PROBLEMS

Families in Kent County who are
buying farms through the tenant
purchase program of the Farm Sc
curity Administration, will hold
their annual planning session next
Wednesday, in the FSA Office at
Dover, it was announced Monday
by Chester J. Tyson, FSA Super
visor.
One of the main purposes of this
meeting is to review each family's
farm and home account book for
1910. These accounts give a COM
plete picture Of the past years
operations. They also form the
basis for determining how much
each family is able to pay on its
tenant purchase loan.
Operating under a variable re
payment plan" Mr. Tyson explain
ed, tenant purchase borrowers
may pay back more in good years
and less in bad. Payments are
based on net income as figured
from the record book"
This get-together," Mr.. Tyson
continued, gives our tenant pur-
chase borrowes an excellent oppor-
tunity to discuss their mutual
problems in farming and home
making. This makes for more eff
ficient planning for the coming
year"
Plans and operating budgets will
be made with the help of farm and
home supervisors. These plans pro-
vide for good standard of living
through home production and pres
ervation of food for family use.
Smyrna times., 1940-12-19

Provisions are also made for i'm
proving the livestock and raising
of feed, so as to release cash for
necessary supplies, as well as the
annual payment on the 4O-year
tenant purchase loan
An additional number of famil-
les in Kent and New Castle Coun-
ties will have the opportunity to
become participants in this pro-
gram during the coming wear.
SCI ,006.00 has been allocated for
the purchase Of family-type farms
in this State by worthy tenant
farmers, sharecroppers and farm
laborers.
Mr.. Tyson added that, Farm Sc
curity also makes small operating
loans to deserving farmers for the
purchase Of such necessities as
feed, seed fertilizer and equipment.
These loans are also accompanied
by assistance in farm and home
planning to help put the farm on
a more sound working basis"
Interested farmers in Kent and
New Castle Counties may get in
touch with Mr. Tyson, whose office
is in the basement of the Post Of
fee Building, for further informa-
tion concerning the assistance
which the Farm Security Admin
istration is able to extend to the
small farmer.

ROTARY HEARS
THERAPY TALK
Told A bout Occupational
Therapy by Director at
Welfare Home
EXHIBIT SPECIMENS

Mrs. Ann Waller Mills, director
of Occupational Therapy at the
State Welfare Home, addressed the
Smyrna Rotary Club on the subject
"Occupational Therapy'', one of the
newer fields for professional men
and women. She pointed out that
this profession is a separate branch
of medicine in as much that the
doses are increased as the patient
improves. The early Egyptians
used this cure for many diseases.
Mrs. Mills gave a detailed account
of the progress of Occupational
Therapy from its early beginning
to the present, when Occupational
Therapy became a profession. The
United States Government present
ed Occupational Therapy to the
sick and disabled Veterans of the
World War. There are now five
approved schools where Occupa-
tional Therapy is taught. Special
degrees are given for full course
OF study. Occupat1onal Therapy
was cited as one of the greatest
cures for idleness to shut-ins by
cause of physical inability. The
work is most interesting to persons
who, through their period of con-
valescence, have accomplished use
of their mental and physical being.
The different types of work given
to each patient after classification
is made were explained. Mrs. Mills
exhibited several specimens of
work made under her direction as
Director Of Occupational Therapy.
DR.. ]. w. Colona responded to the
address of Mrs. Mills. The club
voted her rising vote of thanks.
George o. Fearon was chairman of
the evening program. C. w. Hall.
president of the club, presided.
Guests: Mrs. Davis Turner, Miss
Louise Bennett, Allan Frear, Do
yer, G. HeArn, Dover.
