Bryant Cites P.O. Box Advantages

Everything counts", Postmaster George W. Bryant
said in statement concerning the effect of box
rentals on Greenbelt's chance of getting delivery
service. "Since the adoption of delivery service is
based on total receipts of the post office, the
rentals from boxes important receipt, and
count as much po stage receipts in obtaining
rier SERVICE"
Mr.. Bryant pointed to advantages rsonal
venience addit ional for patrons to prefer
lock boxes to the present general delivery service.
"First", he said, "you get your mail early in
the morning 7:3o, late at night 10 PM,
and these sane hours apply on Sundays and holidays.
Then you have the Christmas Season to look forward
to (even In Auglst). Those VINO know the conditions
which prevail at that time readily appreciate
the convenience of the post Of flee lock box. Final
ly, there is the cost. You rent box for less
than one-half cent day", Mr.. Bryant stated.
"fhere else you get much for so little?" But
there are only limited number of boxes still
ava liable, he warned, and there is rtailty that
may be had if you delay very long.

GreenbelterS Ask For
Better Lease Plan

The Citizens Association, through its Town Admin
istration Committee, is endeavoring to have some
member of the Executive Committee present at such
conferences may be held between the Farm Security
Administration and the Town Council relative to plars
for leasing the coumni ty from the Federal Govern
ment.
Comm ttee chairman Abe ChasanoW is ASST sted in
this contact work by Guy Andrus, Frank Donoge, Ray
Hennessey, and Elmer schwab. These will ap-
proach F.SA officials with the suggestion that it
might be feasible and desirable to have a citizens
cooperative formed to take the town. If F.S.k.
does not to go into this possibility, the
mttee will take up the matter of the citizens being
fully represented in the housing authority plan
which has been the most prominent idea yet advanced
to the method of disposing of Greenbelt. In the
housing thority set-up, the administrative board
Fould be composed of representative of the Dep

Quakers to Sponsor =
Civilian Service Plan

Under the leadership of the National Volunteer
Service recently organized by the American Friends
Service Committee, America young and will
be given pportunity to their country by
volunteering for year of civilian service.
According to the statement released by the Ser
vice Comi ttee, these volunteer service camps are
expected to appeal nto those whose conscience Will
not permit them to in armed forces other
wise contribute to the progress of war; yet
mankind and to preserve democratic institutions"
The call for enrolment states the Service is de-
signed "for young people of all fai tbs denomina
tions who, rooted in the principles Of RELIGIOUS
freedom of conscience, will dedicate themselves to
one year's voluntary service for the public good
strengthen nation and democracy through self
discipline and self-saclifice and to express the
highest ideals of Christian patriotism, by engaging
in constructive and peace-creating service for the
state and fellow men."
The National Volunteer Service will put some of
the young to work in reclamation of forests
impoverished farm lands. Others will work among
migratory laborers of florida and California. Still
others, after period of training, will help with
inexpensive housing projects, cooperating wit gov
erment bureaus to raise the standards of living in
bl1Gted rural areas In Mexico, among the untutored
peasants Of the Iagma region, American youth Will
continue to help build the much-needed village
schools and thus through creating mutual good will
help toward greater cooperation with nei lhbors
to the south. Nany others will be placed in public
welfare nstitutiors and private agencies which
to find solutions to complex social and indus
trial problems.
Cost OF service in the Quaker work camps will
be borne by the vo lunteers themselves insofar as
possible The Committee figures individual expenses
at one dollar day, and, recognizing that many who
would be eager to volunteer will not be able to pay
their way, states, contributions from individuals,
churches and organizations Will be needed defray
the maintenance costs of olunteers who cannot sn
port themselves It has been the Comi ttee' eapa@
ience that this method of financing volunteer
greatly strengthens the signifi the
vice.
Immediate plans call for establi fishing year
round camp at Coopers town. New York. Enroll lment is
Two other camps In this country, prob
ably in the Middle West and the other probably in
the far West, and camp in the Laguna region of
Mexico will be opened by October L. Enrolment
all these camps is being received. Other camps
will follow in rapid succession enrolment war
rants. Inquiries for literature and applications
for service should be addressed to National Volun-
teer Service, American Friends Service Committee 20

Fairgrounds and sand-boxes definitely fill need
in cildrens lives, is indicated by the absorbed
group in this picture. However, children cannot be
expected to such equipment properly without in
struction by their parents. The complaints which
have been heard at the Admin stration office this
sumner show that such direction is often lacking.
One of the most frequent comments heard is that
children old enough to have received training
of bathroom facilities, using sand-boxes
Improperly. other problem is the throwing sand.
These and other similar modes of conduct are, of
course, bad behaviour patterns other child
Nltering and replacing the sand is itn of
pense on the town budget, and this procedure is
ried out at present a regular schedule.
However, if the boxes only sources of trouble, &,
should they be eliminated? Would the removal the
sand-boxes be a solution to the problem? me CO.
operator would be interested in the mothers opin-
ions about the sandboxes and Fairgrounds in general.

strip" rains, which have given
some relief to narrow belts Of land
in New Castle and Sussex counties

Delaware. A tour OF New Castle
county farms revealed crops in this
section in q serious condition, Mr..
Zipf said.
Hits Farm Incomes
"The drought has already had an
effect on farm incomes" Mr.. New

Sussex county. Some reports of
sufficient rain in sections about
Laurel have been received, Mr.. New
ton said, and crops are said to be
lourishing, but that condition does
not exist about BridgeVille, he ad-
ded.
Farmlands and urban sections
alike have been blasted by the heat
and dryness Of the past three weeks,
and besides damage to other crops
and grass the promise Of a bumper
crop Of high grade peaches evident
at the seasons start, is somewhat
lessened now, Mr.. SOper said.
The dangers facing both peaches
and tomatoes In their present con-
dition were pointed out by Mr.. So
per. Too much water, causing both
peaches and tomatoes to crack, and
possible violent wind and rain
storms, could bring serious damage
to both crops, he said.

Report for Sunday, August IL, 1910
Subject: SPIRIT.
Golden Text: Psalms 1870 =
Teach me to do thy will; for thou
art my God: thy spirit is good; lead
me into the land Of uprightness.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: John 5:5,6.S.9-And a GER
tain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and eight years. 6.
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew
that he had been now a long time in
that case, he saith unto him, Wilt
thou be made whole? 8. Jesus
saith unto him, Rise. take up thy
bed, and walk. 8. And Immediately
the man was made whole, and took
up his bed, and walked.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
The calm, strong currents of true
spirituality, the manifestations Of
which are health, purity, and self
immOlation, must deepen human ex-
perience, until the beliefs Of mater
ial existence are seen to be a bald
and sin, disease, and
death give everlasting place to the
scientific demonstration Of divine
Spirit and to Gods spiritual, per-

MOSQUITO CONTROL
ON THE PREMISES

Few people realize that the So
called house mosquito is just as
much of a pest as the marsh variety.
The control Of the house mosqui-
to is up to the home owner and
should be promptly exterminated.
What shall dO?" you ask-First
of all look over your garden for
stagnant water If there are low
places where water lies after a rain;
cut a small trench to carry this on
If it is a persistent place, sprinkle.
little kerosene around.
Look for cans which might hold
water, pals or barrels without COW
ers; destroy bottles and cans and
clean up the dump. Many people
take the ice pick and make a hole in
the can before dispOsing of it-in
this way, water cannot collect in the
tin. / once knew of a whole area
which was contaminated by a lard
can full Of water, left under a lat
ticed porch.
The cutters along the roof or
porch form an ideal breeding place
when half filled with leaves and
water, and enough mosquitoes to in
fest a property may come from this.
Have the cutters cleaned in the
Spring and once at least during the
Summer.
Mosquitoes can only hatch in wa
ter and never breed unless the ther-
mometer is so or more. When they
emerge from the water, they take re-
fuge in grass and low growing
shrubbery until they are strong
enough to fly. Hence, you hear peo-
pie say that mosquitoes breed in the
bushes.
Ponds should have fish put in; a
few minnOws or any small fish will
eat the larvae.
BY taking few precautions in
time, the pleasure Of sitting out Of
doors may be secured on these hot
evenings.
