A DARN HARD JOB

Banking is often thought of as
a dull, unchanging business; the
banker as a SNUG individual bless
ed with a degree of economic sta
bility unknown to most of us. And
yet, about the only thing that
hasn't changed in banking during
the last quarter-century is the ira
ditional marble and bronze atmos-
phere.
No longer is the local banker a
provincial ''homebody." He has, of
necessity, become an internation-
alist. Modern transportation and
communication bring the effects of
changing economic condi-
tions over the entire world, to the
smallest community almost immed-
lately, sometimes with devastating
results. The banker must antici-
pate these changes. He must ad-
wise borrowers against contingen-
cies that twenty-five years age
were undreamed of. He must pro
teet deposit0rs against eventual
tiles that may occur thousands oi
1miies from his and their commun.
ity.
Local business men today more
than ever turn to the local banker
for advice. Happenings complete
ly outside their fields of endeavoI
often spell success or failure. A
tariff adjustment, drought, trans
port facilities, war, new scien-
tific development, a slight change
in production technique, are q
few of the countless possibilities
that may hit worker and employer
alike, though they occur conti-
nent or a hemisphere away.
The local banker, no matter how
small his institution, must keep
competently abreast of the times.
In many cases, upon his judgment
rests the fate of a taxpaying, en-
ploying enterprise. The task of
the modern banker is enough to
turn the hair gray. And all too
often it is a thankless, misunder-
stood task. But. at least it should
be recognized for what it is-a
darn hard job.

EXCUSE US, LADIES

Congress has been pushing
around Mrs. Mary T. Norton,
Chairman Of the House Labor
Committee. Cruel Congressman
are also showing Miss Frances
Perkins about. Mrs. Norton told
the House the other day. that it
SHOULD deal with her committee"
as it does with other committees.
Mrs. Norton and Miss Perkins have
been dealing" from the bottom Of
the pack for several years. That's
why the House of Representatives
has lost confidence in their ability
and intentions to put any construc-
tive labor legislation through Con-
gress.
AS a matter Of fact a sensible
revision of the Wagner Act, and
changes in the lopsided admins
tration of the National Labor Re-
lations Board is being demanded
from every part of the country.
There are some prospects that
Congress will do it's duty and up
set the Labor Department, and
House Labor Committee. The Pres
ident can get new labor legislation
from Congress-and maybe there
will be some, whether he asks for
it or not.

the same time that shipments Of the
vitamin-filled vegetable are being
made to war-beleagured democra-
cies abroad.
Miss Macdonald points out that
only in recent years have we come
to know the real value of the to-
mato as a human food. Since Della
ware is known for the quality OF
tomatoes produced here, every Del
awarean should have plenty OF both
fresh and canned tomatoes.
Research has shown that toma-
toes are rich in vitamin c. the Wit
amin that helps to keep teeth,
gums, blood vessels and bones
healthy, the vitamin that increases
resistance to certain infections and
that is necessary for growth and
reproduction. And because vitamin
c is not stored in the body as GER
tain vitamins are, it's necessary to
obtain a fresh daily supply.
Only a small amount of vitamin
c is lost through modern preserv-
ing methods. So canned tomatoes
and tomato juice are a good source
of this needed vitamin.
Sussex county home demonstra-
ton agent, Miss Gertrude Holloway
has mimeographed directions for
canning tomatoes and tomato juice
for homemakers who request them.

NEAR THE EDGE
BY ). E. JONES


When German submarine sank
the United States freighter Robin
Moor about the last cord of friend
ly relations between Germany and
the United States Government was
severed. Feeling ran very high in
Washington for several days. but
cooled off when news reached the
Capital that all of the missing sur
vivors had been rescued.
The President ordered the freez-
ing of all German assets in the
United States, and then the State
Department was directed by the
President to request the German
Government to close. all of its con-
sulates, and travel and propaganda
agencies in this country by July
10. The Germany Embassy still
functions in Washington.
clustering Hitler has gone be-
yond his threat that he would sink
an American freighter carrying
British supplies. The Robin Moor
had no such supplies, and the sink
ing of it was accepted by our own
Government as defiance of our
claim of freedom of the seas, ="
even outside the war zones.
There will be more declarations
of purpose by the United States
think hostile. About the next thing
that may be expected to happen
will be the discontinuance of man
euvers and precautions by Ameri-

vigorous young men were lost to
their countries and their families.
The results of the present war
seem likely to be even more cal
amitous. The loss of life will not
probably be nearly so great, but
the indirect loss may be greater.
The condition of poverty, suffer-
ing, and hunger in the nations con-
quered by Germany may have even
more terrible results. When peo-
pie get insufficient food, they are
likely to develop such physical
weakness that they die young, and
can not bring up healthy children
The idea has been spread that
the way to attain prosperity and
welfare is to make war, and de-
stroy life and crush weaker peo-
pies. The imposition of these bit
ter terms will let loose more and
more hatred, and bring on new
wars.
These wars create vast debts,
many of which will not probably
ever be paid. When debts are re-
pudiated, the ability of people to
employ labor is greatly reduced,
The poverty and unhappiness Of
masses of people may lead to revo-
luton. All those uncounted bill
lions of money spent for destruc-
tion of life and property could have
produced unlimited progress, if
applied to education and develop
ment.
No calamity is so great that IL
can not be overcome, if people
show industry, kindness, good will
and the desire for peace. The world
in it's wrecked condition still has
vast reserves of power. Our coun-
try is far better equipped to pro-
duce happiness and welfare than il
was when the early colonists land
ed in a wilderness whose only ten
ants were savages.

Pulling The Weeds

Many folks say they are going
to adjourn gardening activity, until
some scientist thinks up a scheme
which will keep weeds from grow
ing. They complain against the
universe, because useless weeds
grow so easily, while nice plants
grow with difficulty.
Perhaps those weeds do good that
we don't know of. Perhaps many
of them are useful as medicines.
While pulling the weeds, the songs
of birds delight your ears, and
Gods sun gives you health giving
rays. And you come in with a
grand dinner appetite, after the
tussle with the jimpson weed and
the witchgrass.

Do People Want Progress9

People often say they, want to
see their home towns go ahead,
and they issue complaints because
the rate of progress is not so fast
as they think it should be.
1t would be fair to ask what
they have done to make these
places go ahead. If they have not
worked in the organizations that
promote local causes and improve
ments, if they have not attended
strictly to the duties of citizenship,
if they have not kept nice looking
homes, and if they have failed to
give hearty support to community
movements, they have no reason to
complain. 1t is because Of such
activities that communities make
gains.
