TO CALL 800 IN
STATE DRAFT
Subsequent Drafts to Sum-
mon Similar Numbers; no.
900 Expected to Register
REGISTRATION OCT. 18TH

Approximately 800 men in Della
ware will be called up in the first
draft, with subsequent drafts sum-
moning similar members, accord
ing to an announcement made re-
Gently by Adjut.-Gen. William J..
Berl, Jr. Between $4,000 and 40,-
900 young men will be registered
next month, he said. The date Sc
lected for registration will take
place october 10th, according to g.
recent announcement. Registra-
ton will be done by the local cleo
tion boards at the regular polling
plpace of each election district,
General Berl said. All arrange
ments have been completed for
opening the polling places for the
registration, Thomas Peeney, sec
retary of the New Castle County
Department of 1ections, announced
Tuesday. General Berl and Deputy
Atty.-Gen. William ]. Storey of
Dover, at a series of conferences
recently made the plans. Notifica-
tions will be sent to the registrars
of all districts, Peeney explained.
General Berl explained that Servic-
es of the registrars, the various
boards, supervisors and medical ex-
aminers will be voluntary and
without pay. A tentative list of
personnel is being studied by Gov.
Richard C. McMullen and General
Berl. A clerk and a stenographer
will be the only paid help of each
board. Expenses of opening the
polling places, which would include
rent, will not be born by the de-
partment of elections, Mr.. Peeney
stated, since that bureaus budget
does not provide for any emerg-
ency expenditures. The state,
Peeney believes, will take care of
these costs. General Berl said the
early drafteeS in all probability
will be assigned to the 198th' and
261st Delaware regiments, to fill
out their quotas. If that schedule
is followed the first draftees will
be in service by November. Ten
draft boards will be set up in Del
aware, General Berl explained.
Boards will be appointed by Cover
nor McMullen. Four of the boards
are planned for Wilmington since
the states center of population is
in. that city, and six for the re-
mainder of the state. Rural New
Castle board will be at New Castle
and Middletown. Dover and Har-
rington will be the centers for
Kent County, while Georgetown
and Seaford will be the locations in
Sussex County. The draft machin-
cry also will include an appeal
board of seven, five members locat-
ed in Wilmington and New Castle

TO HOLD
FLOWER SHOW
Sept. 26th Date Set for Ele-
mentary School Flower Show
Plans for Intermurals
FUNDS MERGE OPPOSED

A flower show will be held by the
elementary school of the John Bas-
sett Moore school on Thursday,
September 26 at 2.3O o'clock in the
lobby. Three prizes will be award
ed, blue ribbon for first place, red
for second, and yellow for third.
The judges chosen by the element
ary faculty are Miss Anna Beckett,
Mrs. Kocher, and Mrs. Margaret
O'Neill. The prizes will be award
ed on the basis of beauty of the
flowers and the arrangement. The
suitability of the container will be
taken into consideration. The pub
lie is urged to attend. Mr.. Ellery
Ward with the assistance of the
teachers of the Junior high school
has almost completed the organiza-
tion of the fall intermurals that
have become an integral part of
the physical education program of
the school. The students have
been divided into six teams. Once
each week these teams will COM
pete in group sports and games on
the athletic field. This program
will continue until cold weather
sets in. The faculty club of the
John Bassett Moore School went
on record Monday as being unal-
terably opposed to the merging of
the school fund with other state
moneys under the one-fund set-up
scheduled for adoption in 1941.
'aThe abolishing of the school
fund" said Assistant Superintend-
ent of Schools George w. Wright
in speaking before the club, would
set the cause of education in Della
ware back 25 years" There is
still an opportunity to remove the
threat to education which the last
legislature enacted into law, mas
much as the next legislature could
repeal the one-fund law before the
date at which it is to become eff
fective, according to local school
authorities. The club ordered its
secretary to take a poll of all can
didates for state Office in the COM
ing elections ito determine the
views of such candidates on the
subject of the maintenance OF the
present educational level in Della
ware through the reestablishment
of the school fund on its former
basis" The written record of each
candidates position on the subject
of the one-fund law will be made
available to each teacher in the
local organization. The subject OF
social security or of retirement
funds for teachers in Delaware was
ordered into committee for action
prior to the annual state conven-
ton, the legislative assembly of
which is scheduled for October 23
in Wilmington. Delegates to the
assembly of the Delaware State
Teachers Association were chosen
Monday by the club as follows:
Miss Helen Scout, Miss Helen
Start, Robert M. Brown; alter
mates. Mrs. Marian Lambden, Mrs.
VIOLA Vogel, Ellery ]. Ward. Offic-
ers of the club were elected Mon
day to serve until September, 1941.
Miss Ruth Kaufman was chosen

 MAKES RULING,
 MINIMUM WAGE
Dismisses Attack by Steel Companies on Labor
 Department

WASHINGTON, April o. The Supreme Court today dismissed the attack by seven steel companies on the Labor Departments order fix ing minimum wages they must pay to obtain contracts with the Fed eral Government.
 Associate Justice Black delivered the decision in which he held that there are no legal rights the com- panies "are shown invaded or threatened"
 Associate Justic McReynolds dis sented from the opinion.
 The Labor Department order was issued under the provisions of the 1886 Walsh -Healey A c t which requires companies selling to the Government of more than $10,O00 worth of supplies to pay employees the prevailing minimum wage in their locality
 The decision reversed the ruling of the Circuit Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia.

PICKLES RESIGNS
 AZ SECRETARY TO
 DELICATE DIM0ND
Patricia Jernberg, Former. Iy of Juneau, Named
 Successor

The resignation of J. J. Eckles Secretary to Delegate Anthony J Dimond since early in the year 1885 took effect on April Is, and &C., companied by his wife and daugh- ter, Jewell Lee, he left Washing ton the following day to re- turn to his home at Valdez, AL aska, where he expects to engage in prospecting.
 MT. Eckles planned this move quite a long time ago and desired to leave last fall, but was asked to remain by the Delegate until this time so that at least a large part of the work incident to the current session of Congress could be com pleted.
 It is likely that MT. and Ms Eckles and their daughter will visit for time with MT. Eckles' father at Cambridge, Idaho.
 Patricia s. Jernberg, formerly of Juneau, and in the Delegates of- flee for some time, succeeds Eckles
