Well censored drips OF news
from China and Moscow have been
indicating Gen. Chang -kai-Shek
was committing national hari-kari
by dsbanding his fourth, army in
the face of the enemy. Fact
matter is he was just committing
hocus pocus.
The Chinese grapevine TO Of
ficialdom here recounts that
Chang was merely shaking few
Russian flies off his flag in a very
subtle gesture. The fourth army
had been spreading good old
Stain propaganda among peasants

Gated. even to the extent OF
promising them specific parcels Of

APPEAL TO TRUCKERS
E. v. Keith Urges Truck Owners to
Comply With Safety Laws

Ernest V. Keith, manager of the
Delaware Motor Truck Association
issued an appeal today to Delaware
truck owners engaged in interstate
commerce that they should make
every effort to Immediately COM
ply with federal safety laws gov
erning qualifications of drivers,
rules of the road, courtesy lights
on truck bodies, carrying of fire
extinguishers and other emergency
equipment, reporting of accidents,
hours of service of drivers, and
maintenance and inspection of
trucks. Mr.. Keith said, 81 am in
formed that federal agents are con-
centrating on Investigations relat-
ing to persistent violations of the
interstate safety laws and unless
those truck owners so involved COM
ply with the federal laws which are
intending to reduce highway acci-
dent, there is no doubt but what
legal action will be taken by the
government. The federal laws
have already been tested in the
courts and many truck owners have
had to pay heavy fines" Compli-
ance with the federal laws was
urged by Mr.. Keith. He pointed
out that each regulation was con-
sidered the minimum necessary for
prevention or reduction of accident.
A copy of the federal safety regu-
lations may be obtained through
the Delaware Motor Truck Asso-
citation. 1t behooves all truck op-
orators to take cognizance of Mr..
Keith's appeal.

former, cannot only run and kick,

and sophomores when the opening
whistle is sounded. Hogan is the
only sophomore in the ball-carrying
department, while Co-Copt. Melvin

Paul, a junior, will handle the
wingback posts. Al Newcomb, an
other junior, will direct the teams
maneuvers from the quarterback
position. The forward wall will
also be composed of experienced
men although dominated by sopho-
mores. Second-year men who
cracked the starting lineup as
freshmen last season will be at the
terminal posts where Howard
(Jabbo) Jarfis and Fred Sloan
handle the end duties; at a tackle,
where Jack Castevens will be as
signed, and at a guard berth where
Tony Stalloni will be placed. Bob
Furman, a junior, will handle the
other tackle job, while Tugh Bog
ovich, one of last years outstand-
ing linemen with two seasons ex-
perience behind him, will handle
the other guard. Co-Capt. Jim

Our very good friend, Betty
Jones, is right in the midst of col
lege life right now. She is "daown
in old Virginny", where the corn
and the taters grow. Belts was
mighty sad to leave the old home
town, but saddest of all to part
from little David Deakyne-Love-
bug, as she called him. Belts and
Baby David were constant compan-
ions. Belts sprained her ankle
again at the fire last Wednesday
night, and had to go to college
bandaged and limping. We hope
that Belts likes her school and de-
rives much from the life she will
live there.
Speaking of the fire last week
the big one at the barn on the
Armstrong farm-that was a good
example of the cooperation of men
and boys who had no connection
with the fire companies. Young
boys helped form the bucket bri-
gade, and older men pitched in to
aid the firemen in many ways,
some even risking their lives. This
sort of spirit is invaluable, and we
could not help commenting upon it.

Several Million Americans
Trained in Youth Camps
Social Experiment From Europe Gets
Laboratory Development in U. S.

A social invention of the Goth
American evolution during the last
decade. 1t is the work camp for
youth, which has touched the lives
of several million youths in the
United States
Several hundred thousand young
people have received training on
the job in the National Youth Ad-
ministration resident centers; 2,500,-
900 unemployed youths have en-
rolled in the Civilian Conservation
Corps. In addition, work camps have
been established for both high
school and college students.
Intensive laboratory experience
for students of social sciences is
being provided in the work camps
for college students. During 1941
several hundred college students
lived in more than a score of camps
in areas where poverty, race preju-
dices, severe economic maladjust-
ments and other pathological social
conditions prevailed. They worked
their way" into the life of the COM
munity by building Fairgrounds,
roads, and dams. renovating school
buildings, clearing forest lands,
quarrying stone for houses. con-
structing factory equipment and
buildings, driving trucks, even pitch
ing hay.
The first work camp for American
college students was established by
the American Friends Service Com
mittee in 1884 near Greensburg,
Pa. Each year the number has
steadily grown until at least 800
students were in camp last summer.
They worked several hours each
day on the community projects. In
the evenings they entered into dis
cuSsions based on surveys of COM
munity problems, and listened to
lectures, usually by persons of the
area who explained local social and
economic conditions, according to
a report to the American Youth
Commission of the American Coun-
Gil on Education, which complies
results of a study of five camps
located in widely varying problem
areas.
Varied Opportunities.
Opportunities for laboratory ex-
periences in other fields were pos
sible in the camps. Medical students
had an opportunity to gain first
hand experience of health con-
ditions and the need for medical
help in certain areas. Students of
music and drama contributed to
the camp recreational programs.
The report was drawn by Kenneth
Holland, whose earlier book, Youth
in European Work Camps, evaluated
the work camp programs of a num-
ber of foreign countries. Working
with Mr.. Holland on the prelimi-
nary survey was DR.. o. A. Oeser,
