Contractor On $4,000
Packing House; Will
Offer Outlet.

The Cranbury Poultry Company
operating several large poultry
packing plants in Delaware and
New Jersey, have broken ground
this week for their new plant which
will be located on a lot purchased
by executives of the company from

Company, just outside the city

City Council has agreed to extend
sewer, water and electric power
facilities to the plan which will EN-

community as the growing of broil-
ers on a large scale has recently
begun and the plant will offer an
outlet for this product.

company the building contract calls
for an expenditure of approximate
ly $22,500, with Willis Hall of this
city as the contractor, and with in.

May Ask DriUerS To
GiUe Up I94I Tags
Action May Be Taken To
Conserve Steel Scrap
For Defense

Motorists in all 4s states may be
asked to surrender their 1941 au-
tomobile license tags when they
receive 1912 plates to conserve
steel scrap for defense.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton and Civilian Supply said it
would make supplies of sheet steel
available to manufacturers of
1942 license plates only because
time is too short to enable the
states to find substitutes for steel
license tags"
To alleviate a shortage of steel
scrap and to attempt to replace in
part the metal used in the 1912 tags,
OPACS said it is requesting all
state authorities to require mo-
torists to turn in their present
tags. by requiring the surrender
of old license plates" OPACS said,
"the states will add a sizeable ton
mage of scrap to the national sup
plies"
OPACS warned that ''in all prob
ability" no sheet steel will be made
available by the government for
the manufacture of 1943 tags.

Summer Heat Serious
Enemy OF Infants
DIR. Marion HOtOpp Urges Close
Parental Care During Hot Months


Excessive summer heat is a SER
ious enemy of babies. There is al
ways an increase in infant deaths
during the summer months, when
compared with the spring and fall.
Our figures for the summer of 1889
are representative. There were So
deaths during the months of July,
August and September as compar-
ed to 29 deaths for May, June and
October.
Keeping babies as cool as poss-
ible, out of crowds, and protected
from flies and mosquitoes will do
much toward maintaining their
general health through the dog
days" and preventing this increase
of mortality, reminds DR.. Marion
Hotopp. the State Board of Health's
acting director Of Maternal and
Child Health.
Heat lowers a baby's resistance
to- Intestinal infection. Diarrhea
and enteritis may follow. Also a
baby suffering from the heat is
more apt to have stomach up-sets
due to improper feeding.
Baby's diet always needs careful
watching but in summer it is espe-
cially important not to over-feed.
Do not try to force the food if the
child is not hungry and under no
give the baby tastes
of adult food. Such practices are
bad at any time and in summer may
result in serious illness.
Food spoilage is another hot wea-
Lher danger. Keep baby's food in

Price Of Mix Here
Advances Ic A Bottle
Local Dealers Are Last
To BOaO To Price
Increase

According to information receiv-
ed this week from the Milford Milk
Distributors Association the price
of the staple will advance one cent
per bottle beginning with the Au-
gust 18th delivery. According to the
association members Milford is one
of the last cities to adopt the price
increase, which is caused by the
advance in the price of labor, raw
product and increased taxation.
Harrington will advance prices
at the same time. 80
The price, therefore, on the milk
will be lie per quart and &c per
pint. 1t is the hope of the dealers
that the general public will realize
that the net profit of the distribu-
tors will remain the same under
the price change, and just as soon
as conditions permit it the old price
will be returned to.

Farmers Exchange
Meets In Georgetown
Senator Alden P. Short Presided
At Executive Session

Members of the Eastern States
Farmers Exchange held a meeting
for the southern territory at the
Jones' Memorial Hall, Georgetown,
last night. State Senator Alden P.
Short, one of the directors of the
exchange, presided.
Members assembled at the hall of
Midland Grange at 12 O'Clock (EST)
for a dinner which was served by
the ladies of the grange. The main
meeting then took place in the
Jones Memorial Hall on East Lau-
rel street.
John X. Westburg, of Spring
field, Mass, spoke. Mr.. Westburg
is familiar with poultry conditions
throughout the New England
States and within the past few
months has spoken to several poul-
try groups on the Delmarya Pen
ihsula. '
Moiloy c. Vaughn, OF Lewes,
field man for the exchange and for
several years county agent of Sus-
sex county, took part in the meet
ing.
In view of the fact that Sussex
county is the largest broiler pro-
ducing county of the more than
1000 counties in the country, the
subject for discussion centered
around the broiler industry, since
Mr.. Westburg is familiar with that
branch as head of the exchange
feed service department and has
studied conditions throughout the
and on the Delmarva Pen
nsula.
Feed concerns throughout the
Atlantic Seaboard have for the past
.wo years focused attention on the
'apidly-growing broiler business of
over Delaware, which has grown
% a $24,0O0,000 industry. The in
lustry is expected to expand 25
Der cent within the next year.
