In addition to the officers and

each representative district who are
elected to work in cooperation with
the county committee.
Each year these committeeman
are called in at frequent intervals
to discuss various phases of the
conservation program, and the
meeting in Dover on Wednesday
was another such occasion at which
many important subjects were con-
sidered with reference to the farm
program.

TIRE CONSERVATION TIPS

Marion Nelson "Chuck" Wright,
manager of the R. d. Grier & Sons
Company Goodyear Easy Pay Tire
Store on North Front street, sug-
gests that the public consider SER
iously the recommendation made
by P. W. Litchfield, president of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany:
l.. Avoid speeds of more than SO
miles per hour. Tires wear out
62% faster at 20 M. P. H. than
at so M. P. H.
2. Check air pressure weekly.
Pressure either too low or too
high wears out rubber.
8. Have frequent inspections of
brake adjustments and wheel
alignments, to avoid drag
ging" a tire.
4. Rotate tires every 1000 to 5000
miles. Switch the left front
tire to the right rear, etc.
5. Retread or regroove those tires
which have good sidewalks but
worn treads.
There will be enough tires for
hose who need them if everybody
helps and something unforeseen
loes not develop" Mr.. Litchfeld
said.

SCHOOL LUNCHES AID
HEALTH, SCHOLARSHIP

School bells will soon be ringing
throughout Delaware. And when
the states youngsters again head
for classrooms they will have their
school days frightened by hot
lunches, hot lunches that mean bet
ter health for school children dur
ing the entire year.
Miss Pearl Macdonald, Univer-
sity of Delaware nutritionist, re-
Gently made a survey to determine
the extent that school lunches are
being served throughout the state,
exclusive of Wilmington. She con-
tacted ITO schools. OF the 1855
answering her QUESTIONABLE, 1873
are now serving lunch to some
10000 children daily.
Repeatedly, the questionnaires
that came back to Miss Macdonald
from all parts of the state, gave re-
suits of the one-hot-dish or lunch
served in schools. Results listed
by the teachers included more reg
ular attendance, better behavior,
higher quality school work and
greater interest of parents in the
school and in the progress of their
children. Many teachers reported
increased weight of under-nourish-
ed boys and girls, fewer colds, gen
eral health improvement, and
greater vitality and activity.
Many schools in Delaware, where
eligible children are enrolled, have
been able to serve more hot lunch
es through use of foods provided
by the Surplus Commodities Cor
poration.
Miss Macdonald feels that home
makers in all parts of the State
should start right now to plan for
serving of hot school lunches in
their individual communities. She
maintains that the homemaker can
plan her home food production,
canning and storage program so
some of the food can be supplied
'or maintaining hot school lunches
Turing the year in her community,
with each family contributing its
share. l.
"Year after year serving OF
Ichool lunches" Miss Macdonald
''is actually long
ime community program as an in
of better present and fu-
ure health standards throughout
he locality, health that is even
more vital now than in the past {
'ecause of its Importance to ma '
ional defense"
