Grafton Of most all Of the Sunday
School in the fine recitations and
singing, and in the arrangement OF
the beautiful decorations. The large
crowd which OverfiOwed into the
Sunday School room was due in part
to the attendance of many from the
other Methodist church in town. A
fine spirit of cooperation is shown
when a church closes its service and
attends the other church In large
numbers. We hope that spirit will
continue between these churches in
Greenwood. Two other matters OF
interest in connection with this SER
vice were In the flowers given by
Mrs. r. o. Mai's Sunday School

ers we're given TO the Oldest mother

There doesn't seem to be anything
about the bill that anyone should be

General Appearance
Arrangement should be: Practical
and economical OF space. Peaches,
for example. look better with out
side Of fruit toward outside Of jar
and more halves can be packed In IL

WILL USE MAGNETIC COETROL
GATE FOR STARTING AT
DELAWARE PARK

] The electric starting gate which
will be used at Delaware Park for
the meeting beginning May 29, is
expected to arrive from Santa Anita
tomorrow and be set up and ready
for the schooling of horses as soon
as possible. The gate is known as
the Magnetic Control Gate and it
has been purchased by Delaware
Park for introduction in the East.
At the moment the authorities at
Keeneland track in Kentucky are
contemplating the use OF the gate at
the forthcoming fall meeting at Lex
ingtOn.
If Keeneland's president, Hal
Price Hadley, who will race his
horses at Delaware, finds the gate
as satisfactory as Santa Anita
boasts, 1t will be shipped from Della
ware to Keeneland, kept there over
the winter. used at the Keeneland
spring meeting OF 1871, and then
shipped back to Delaware for the
1871 meeting there.
The outstanding feature of the
Magnetic Control Gate is that IL
anything goes wrong the gate stands
open. With the other electrical gates
ii anything goes wrong the gates
stand closed and lock in the horse.
With Delaware's Magnetic Control
Gate. which is the same as that used
at Santa Anita. there is nothing Of a
mechanical nature holding shut the |
doors-no bolts, locks, catches, etc. I
The doors are held closed by mag !
nets. If something goes wrong with
the electricity, the magnets can not !
function to close the gate, and the
doors stand open
AT Santa Anita during the use Of
the gate for more than 800 races
only four times did the official chart
say poor start" Two of these four
starts were in the baby races. In
S3S Of these races the start was call
ed good" in the chart. The remain
ing Is races were labeled, start good
for all but one horse" with COM
ments of lost rider" or refused to
break"
The time at the post for the flrst
112 races checked averaged 40 sec
Onds, including the baby events. Av-
erage post time for the IA stakes fin
cluding the 100000 Santa Anita
and the $4,000 Santa AMI
Ia Derby, was 79 seconds This av-
erage includes the San Vicente when
there was a six minute delay because
Of fFe horses being started outside
the gate.
The gate which will be used at
Delaware consists of fourteen stalls.
An experienced crew OF expert me-
chanics accompanied the gate East

Some Of you have probably al
ready worked out by yourself a
satisfactory canning budget for your
family using Miss MacDonald's sug-
gestiOns OF two weeks ago. You will
keep that budget In mind as you can
this summer for you wish 10 have
ample on hand 10 keep your family
literally supplied with fruits and
vegetables throughout the winter
season.
AS Jars are filled. you will put
them carefully away in a nice dry
stOrerOOm and plan some system Of
arranging them SO you can more
easily put your hand on the jar you
wish.
My. but you will be proud of that
winter pantry as It gets filled up! In
spite OF those hot hours spent over
the stove conserving your home pro-
ducts you will feel amply repaid, we
know. every time you go to the we'll
filed shelves. The appreciation Of
your family when you serve some
particularly favOrite friut or vege-
table dish from your supply will
alone more than repay you for your
efforts.
AS you can this summer. many of
you are going to pick out particular
ly nice looking jars and with a CLEAN
In your eye put them in a special
spot by themselves. These Jars are
going TO the Kent-Sussex Fair. They
will be more carefully labelled than
the rest perhaps and given special
handling. 5ellies win be made as
we'll, and the best Of these you will
also want TO show.
Remember, at the Fair. you are
competing with very fine products
put up by other careful homemakers
who also have a CLEAN in their eyes
So It hehooVes all who plan 70 ex-
hibit their products to know on what
basis these are judged and why some
are considered superior to others.
Following are score cards for canned
products and jellies. II carefully read
over. these score cards should give a
wOuld-be exhibitor a much better
idea of what judges are looking for.
Our standards OF quality should be
high whether our products are to be
exhibited or not. The exhibiting of
them does somewhat influence our
choice Of eontaineF. however, so Il
is well to plan your FAIR exhibit
along with your home supply and
get suitable containers ahead OF
time.
Good luck to you Il you do exhibit
at the Fairl However, ] think for
the most Of you the best prize Of all
will be the continued good health Of
your family. because OF your wise
garden plans this spring. know
you cannot help but feel Il has all
been very much worth while, and !
that will pay dividends in
health and economy throughout the
whole year

boom in America.
The project will attempt for the
first time in the cOuntry's history to
identify typical American families,
show what they look like and how
they live and to do the job scientifi-
cally. And through their lives lived
at the big fair, FHA hopes to dram

United States.

type OF design. The $500 house will

There are 36 hole, left to play.
and there will be no rest for either
Demaret or ManCrum. Hot on their

Back of them are plenty who can
cause trouble. Slammin Sammy
Snead played a steady round at eTen
