REASON FOR PRIDE

That the railroad industry is fully
awake to its public responsibility in
these unpredictable times was shown
at the recent annual meeting Of the
Association of American Railroads
which adopted the following resolu-
ton: "In the operation of a conti-
nent-wide system of rail transporta-
ton, each railroad has responsible
ties to every other railroad, and all
of them together have the RESPONSE
bility of providing the nations es-
sential low-cost mass transporta-
tion. The Member Roads of the As
sociation of American Railroads,
therefore, do hereby renew their
pledge to whom they serve, that in
diYidually and in cooperation with
one another and with the govern
ment of the United States, they will
continue to meet to the full the de-
mands of commerce and the needs
of national defense"
The railroads are proving their
sincerity. One line may compete
with another in seeking trafic-but
every line cooperates with every
other line when it comes to serving
the country's needs, normal and abb.
All cooperate in improving
in stepping up the speed
Of freight trains, in eliminating car
Thi scountry now enjoys
the finest, cheapest and most eff
cient rail service in history.
War Department officials have ex-
surveyed railroad capac-
Ity for defense needs and agreed that
The railroads can meet any conceiv-
able transportation emergency.

A & P Celebrating
Its Founders Week
CONTINUES from First Psss,

an effective brake against spiraling
food prices such as took place dur
ing the last World War, MIR. Kelly
ldrS1b 49, ........ ...... ......
said, and make the cOmpany's cele-
bratiOn of Founders Week in Mr..
Hartford's honor Of particular i'm
portance this year.
The celebration, which starts to-
day, also marks a re-dedicatiOn of A.
and p. service TO Americas No. 1
purchasing agent-the housewife"
he added.
SThe growth of Americas mass
distribution system. although pio-
neered by Mr.. Hartford through A.
and p, has largely taken place since
the last great war and today stands
as an excellent form of insurance
against exorbitant food costs due to
speculation or inefiiciencies on dis
tribution," Mr.. Kelly pointed out.
The A. and P. system was founded
on tea, Mr.. Kelly said, explaining
that Mr.. Hartford reduced retail
prices from dollar a pound to
about 80 cents, by making his pur-
chases direct and eliminating many
n-between handling charges and
profits. BY applying
.hese same principles of direct buy
ng and quick turnover of large
volume at small profit, he was able
10 add other commodities to his
stock and later to expand the sys-
.em through new stores.
Savings thus achieved are bull
by strict adherence to the
policy against speculative
buying of any kind, as well as its
policy against pricing sales above
its normal, nominal profit, he de-
clared. He asserted that, based on
the expense of doing business in the
stores seven years ago.
A. and P. customers in 1910 saved
$50 100000 on their food purchases
alone.
"As defense costs mount, every
Thing possible must be done to as
sure the American public of the
greatest amount of healthful food at
The most reasonable price possible"
Mr.. Kelly said.
"In celebrating Founders Week.
we Of the A. and P. are doubly pleas
ed to reafiirm Mr.. Hartford's original
principles which have made mate
rial contributions to the high Ameri-
ian standard of living through mar
rowing the spread between retail
prices and returns to the produc-
srs."

MILFORD'S WATER TOWER
AND REHOBOTH'S COMPARED

In smear circular distributed In
this community 1t was charged that
the Milford water tank cost $4,000
more than the same kind of tank at
Rehoboth. In order to clear up this
issue and assure the taxpayers that
there is no foundation for the
charges we have obtained the follow
ing figures and information.
The water tower in Milford cost
$31, 1879, this being the actual con-
tract price. The Rehoboth tower
cost $21, 1882 plus whatever the pip
ing to the mains cost. AT that time
Rehoboth was having quite a bit of
town piping done and we find it
impossible to get this figure. How
ever, we did find that the actual cost
to the Milford taxpayers was only
$17,754.S3 or $50 of the contract
price, the erst being paid by the
Federal Government. We further
found out that the tower here is
supported by concrete piling which
cost $4,43O.0O. A rake chamber
under the tank costing $5OO.0O, pipe
to connect with city mains $4,000;
demolition of old standpipe $4,000.
This produces a total cost of tower
over $1,000 more than the Rehoboth. |
Besides we find by actual measure !,
ment that the Milford tower is rs
ieet taller than the one at the beach
resort, and is riveted job while that
1t Rehoboth is an electric welded
lob.
We have always found that it pays

mentary school, $350,000; Seaford
new elementary school, $210, 900; ;
Laurel. IL classrooms to take place
of an old wooden building, s152,000,
and Harrington, $4,000.
The bill, which would provide for
state school building account to
carry the complete appropriation,
would require the state board to
submit to the Board of Education or
the board of school trustees of each
district included in the said program
the general character and nature Of
the school building improvements
proposed for such district and shall
hear the comments and suggestions
thereon Of the members of said
board"
To become eligible under the bill,
each district named would have to
show a real need for such improve
ments." Every board would have to
approve plans and costs by resolu-
ton before the state board would
be empowered to proceed with i'm
provements, the bill specifies.
School building commissions would
be established in each district to
be made up of four members of the
state board, designated by the presi-
dent, and four members of local
board, designated by the local presi-
dent. No act of district commission
would be binding unless at least five
members concurred. Contracts would
be let by each district commission,
Aides Provided For
The secretary Of the State Board
of Education would be secretary Of
all the district commissions created
under the proposal. Commissions
would be empowered to employ engi-
neers and architects and such other
employees as needed to complete the
program.
Six hundred unemployed and en-
ployable "colored persons in Kent
county" provide the need for a yoca-
tional school, the preamble OF the
Pritchett bin points out. Positions
for trained persons are available, but
training facilities are lacking It
states.
The preamble adds that relief for
each unemployed person costs more
than $500 a year, while half the cost
of training those persons in trades
and Industries could be paid for by
federal funds II the facilities we're
made available"
It was pointed out that sit is more
economical to spend $400 for four
years In training these negro stu
dents than to spend $4O0 each year
for many years to come for their
relief.
The Governor would be empower
ed to name a commission of five per-
sons within 80 days following enact
ment Of the bill. The commission
would be made up of the Governor,
president of the board of education
of the Dover Special School District,
and three other residents Of Kent
county.

dista,iet would receive per pupil
allowance for operating the school.
but enrollments would not be limited
to persons 21 years of age aud un-
der Additional funds would be pro-
vided for students over q years of
