tion of that lovely friendship
which has lasted for a number
of years. Lynn Pratt and Miss
Virginia Knox were also mar
ried ON Saturday at Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa. Virginia Wilson, of
Lockport, N. Y, granddaughter
of Mrs. Sadie M. Wilson, who
came to Delaware this week SO
that her grandmother might at
tend her wedding, was married
in the beautiful Presbyterian
Church at Dover on Wednesday
at noon to Mr.. Rodney johnson,
also of Lockport. Virginia is
the daughter of Mr.. Oscar Will
son and the late Mrs. Wilson.
Another wedding, of fifty
: years ago, was celebrated on
Wednesday evening. These
long welded lives of happiness
are to be congratulated in these
days of ever changing mates.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. BENJAMIN Hol-
ston meant what they said when
they made their marriage vows.
Celebrating Informally with
them at the enjoyable affair
were their four children-John
of Wilmington, Mrs. Margaret
Melvin, also of Wilmington,
Mrs. Clara Smith and Dick
from town. They, with their
families made a fine group.
From a distance for the ami
versary came Mr.. and Mrs.
John Melvin of Miami, Florida,
a grandson and his wife. Long
residents of Milford, Mr.. and
Mrs. Holston have the good
wishes of the community.
On Monday afternoon the
Clark Avenue Sewing Club met
with Mrs. Frank Grier for a
goodbye visit with Mrs. A. W.
Staudt, who left for Martins
vile, Va, on Tuesday, The
members presented her with a
mahogany hanging shelf, which
no doubt will have a prominent
place in the furnishing of the
new home. Everyone wished
for Mrs. Staudt much happi-
ness in her new surroundings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Brakeley
will soon move to their newly
acquired home, which the
Staudts occupied.
Three noteworthy assemb-
lagos of young voices within
the past week are SO deserving
of note. The junior choirs of
the Presbyterian and Avenue
Methodist Churches and the
High School Spring Concert
brought together young boys
and girls under the direction
of William E. Miller and C.
Curtis Williams. ALI numbers
of each concert gave real en-
joyment to the listeners and
were a decided credit to the di-
rectors. This opportunity to do
this service to their church and
to carry out a department in
the school that has become an
important one in late years,
was not given to those children
Of a generation ago. Time
marches on and brings with it
golden advantages denied other
boys and girls. Time and pa
.ience and forbearance of the
in bringing about the
result of the work as shown in
he concerts is deeply appreci-
tied by the parents.
Daily now we hear the toll
ng off of the days that are left
# the school year. 1t will be
,nly a short time when all the
Ichool activities that annually
Lttend commencement will be-
lin. Then vacation, with the
scattering Of families for dis
ant places. 1t is the general
Wish that all have a quiet and
'eaceful summer. / personally
lope there will be nothing to
mar the vacation of every one.
What a long letter and so
ersonal. But it is good to get
cross to each of you just the
hings that 1 think make up an
Interesting life for all.
Always,

ARGUING IN
IGNORANCE
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Have you noticed how prone people
are to argue these days? How on
the slightest provocation even the
most mild hammered of individuals
will break into vociferous disagree
ment? Simple sentences become
statements, and statements proclama-
tions, delivered with all the vehemence
of the fanatic. Just the same, an
argument implies an ignorance of the
facts or motives behind the original
point of disagreement. AS Judge
Brandeis once said: Behind every
argument is someone's ignorance"
Most arguments are brought about
by the fact that the disputants are
looking at the same thing through
different ends of a telescope. One sees
the subject enlarged, close to, and the
other sees it at long range, in greater
perspective. Each is ignorant of the
others basis for argument and does
not care to take the time to under
stand. Each assumes that the other
argues from the same viewpoint he
does-and that therefore he has
drawn the wrong conclusions.
The start of the present war is a
good illustration. We were blind to
the intentions of Hitler because, argu-
ing from our side of the picture, we
couldn't see any justification for ag
gression. We were ignorant of the
German viewpoint that their needs
and aspirations were sacred charge
to come before those Of any other ma
tion-that if they wanted anything,
they had the right to take it-regard
less of the owners claim. Wishful
thinkers still say that the German
people will rise to throw off the domi-
nation which must be hateful to them
but they are ignorant of the fear Of
the German people who, knowing
what would happen if the Germans
won, dread what might be their fate
if the Germans lose-imputing to
others the motives back of their own
actions.
In this country opposing groups
argue about the war. Irrespective of
the leaders, there are sincere believ
ers on both sides Those who are anti
war, argue that if Hitler has the rest
Of the world, he will be satisfied. They
are looking through one end of the
telescope Those who feel that we
must take more than an onlooker's in
terest, are taking the far off view and
are thinking in terms of future peace
and security. They prefer peace in
their children's time, rather than
"peace in our time"
The only way to really win an
argument is to argue from the other
mans viewpoint, and point out to him
from his own basis the fallacy Of his
reasoning. Ignorance is not merely
behind every argument-it is the
cause Of the disagreement. We must
make a determined effort to under
stand our opponent before we can
silence him. "Get wisdom, but with
all thV wisdom, get understanding"

THE MEANING OF
HOME
BY MABEL-RUTH JACKSON

My Friend, Mrs. Stewart, was pay
ing call. My fve-year- son,
Laurence, came in from play and
started to speak to me. Then, seeing
my guest, he walked over to her and
put out his hand. "How do you do ?"
he asked shyly. When she had spoken
to him, he came back to me and asked
question.
After he had gone out, Mrs. Stew
art said, 81 wish my children would do
that. l always have to apologize for
them."
But it is really very simple. l have
always believed that home should
mean more to ones children than just
a place to eat and sleep-and live-or
perhaps place that belongs to
Father and Mother. 1t should have a
personal, possessive meaning to each
child. 1t had not been hard to teach
Laurence that since this is his home,
he should always greet guests,
whether his own or his parents, and
make them feel welcome.
Of course youngsters are generally
so full of their own childish affairs
that it is difficult for them to divert
their interest for even a few moments.
But l have found that if the mother
has impressed them with the import
ance of making guest feel at home
and welcome, she will find that after
a few times it will become natural 20
the child. If l serve tea, | let Laur-
ence pass the plate Of sandwiches or
cakes. 1t gives him a feeling of help
fulness and Importance that he loves.
That is a part of my plan for MAX
ing our children feel that our home is
definitely their home-giving them
this slight responsibility.
I try to help them to feel pleasure in
doing them. | do not assign tasks
like an employer. If toys are not
picked up, as they are supposed to be,
I say, "This room would look much
better if those blocks were not lying
over there, wouldn't it? ?" and they
agree with me and pick them up. But
such a remark would not be likely. to
bring such satisfactory response if
we did not occasionally speak of the
appearance of the room when it is in
perfect order. Fresh flowers, clean
curtains, polished ornaments are COM
mented on and enjoyed together.
Like other women, take pleasure
in having my house look attractive,
but if new furnishings will mean that
the children must keep away from
them, then | don't have the new
things. | believe that children should
come before furniture. They are real
ly so much more valuable and i'm
portant. | do teach my children to be
careful, but | can't expect them to be
adult minded.
Above all, believe that harmony
and happiness should come before
anything else in the home-even be-
fore order. | want the words, "Home,
sweet home," always to have real
meaning for my children. 1t cannot
help but have a powerful influence
for good on their lives.
