Look to Volunteers
For Civil Defense

Washington, D. C.-To the ques-
tion, What can do for American"
the Red Cross is providing an an
swer for hundreds of thousands of
men and women who want to do
their part on the civilian defense
front.
For women, the Red Cross is pro.
viding an S0-hour training course
to recruit corps of 100000 Nurses
Aides. 1t is the Red Cross newest
project, undertaken at the request
of the U. S. Office of Civilian De.
tense to relieve the current pres
sure on nursing facilities.
With thousands of nurses being
taken into military service with our
armed forces, civilian nursing has
suffered a direct blow, the Red
Cross points out.
Red Cross Nurses Aides will
serve as assistants to registered
nurses, performing scores of i'm.
portant duties which will enable
nurses to care for more cases. The
Red Cross stresses that Nurses
Aides will not take the place of the
registered nurse, but will serve in
an auxiliary capacity.
On the more dramatic side of
civilian defense, the Red Cross is
gearing its far-fung disaster fight
ing machine to handle mass feed.
ing. housing and clothing of exacu-
ees under wartime conditions. In
cooperation with the Office of Civil.
IN Defense, chapters are strength
ening disaster relief committees to
cope with man-made disaster much
on the same scale as relief opera
tions following natural catastrophe.
Organization along these lines in
cludes preparedness measures for
fires, explosions and epidemics
which may be expected to result
from accelerated industrial activity
incident to national defense.
Strictly as precautionary meas
ure, the Red Cross is devising
means of confronting emergency
relief in the event Of sporadic air
or sea attacks, considered conceiv-
able hazards in some coastal and
boundary areas.
The need for First Aid in civilian
defense has not been neglected by
the Red Cross. Last year nearly
100000 were trained in emergency
treatment of the injured. This year
the figure is expected to go much
higher with special emphasis being
placed on the formation of detach-
ments which would serve as units
in factories, Offices, schools and
other places where persons are
Red Cross courses in Home Nurs-
ing and in Nutrition also are being
expanded as a feature of the civil
ian defense program, it was point
ed out. Mounting health hazards
and the shortage of civilian nurses
may at any time obligate the house
wife-or even the man of the house
to assist in caring for the sick.
Likewise, the Red Cross is placing
greater emphasis on Nutrition
courses designed to teach house
holders the art of purchasing and
preparing well-balanced meals
within the range of the family
pocketbook.

Soul and Body" Golden Text:
Psalms SO: A. Rejoice the soul of
my servant: for unto thee, o, Lord,
do 1 lift up my soul. A bible cita-
ton from the lesson-sermon. I Cor.
.6: 10, 20. What? know yet not
that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which
We have of God, and yet are not
your own? 20. For ye are bought
with a price: therefore glorify God
in your body, and in your spirit,
which are Gods. Correlative from
the Textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: Question
What are body and Soul? Answer.
Identity is the reflection of
Spirit, the reflection in multifarious
forms of the living Principle, Love.
Soul is the substance, Life, and in
telligence of man, which is individ-
ualized, but not in matter. Soul
can never reflect anything inferior
to Spirit. The Individuality of
man is no less tangible because it is
spiritual and because his life is not
at the mercy of matter. The un-
derstanding of his spiritual individ-
uality makes man more real, more
formidable in truth, and enablels
him to conquer sin, disease, and
death,

Radiant Living
WEEDS CAN BE
BEAUTIFUL
By
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

1t was a hot sultry day. A wo-
man of toll, carrying a heavy bum
die, trudged along the dusty road.
She was tired and thirsty but she
kept plodding along until she came
to a small stand of timber which
bordered along the road. A stream
let trickled from a nearby spring.
1t was delightfully."- cool here un-
der the trees. The tired woman
stopped to rest. She bathed her
hands and then her face in the cool
water of the spring. Glancing
about in a casual way, she saw
growing by the roadside a single
daisy.
II wonder if that daisy feels as
lonely as I do?" she unused.
Plucking the flower, she threw
herself to the ground to rest in the
shade of the trees. In her fatigue
she twirled the flower between her
thumb and finger and complained
to herself about life generally.
Suddenly she stopped twirling
the flower and began to gaze in
tently at it. She observed the de-
sign of the flower; she noticed its
round center and wide fringed
edge. She studied it's color scheme
of gold and white. Presently the
features of her face began to re-
lax. A smile appeared.
II never knew daisy was really
so pretty" she exclaimed. 'Why,
it's only weed, yet it is really
beautiful"
God made this daisy" she
Smyrna times., 1941-11-20

breathed, "but why did He spend
so much time on a mere weed to
make it so symetrical and so color
full? Is God interested in weeds ?"
she asked herself.
"But that is all 1 ami" she stat
ed to herself emphatically, "Pm no
rose or lily either, I'm just weed"
Then pensively, she asked herself
81 wonder if God is really interest
ed in me?"
The thought inspired her. She
got to her feet. Picking up her
bundle, she resumed her journey.

said aloud to herself, as she STEP

Al CORN LOAN
GIVEN
Provides For Partial Parity
Rates For State Farmers
on Stored Corn
LOANS OF GRADE 3 CORN

Farmers of Delaware have long
been interested in corn-corn for
cattle, for hogs and for other live
stock vital to economical operation
of practically all farm enterprises.
To aid farmers now handling the
19441 corn crop, the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration has
Just announced provisions of its
1941 Corn Loan Program. r. o.
Stelzer, AAA executive officer for
Delaware, reports that 1941 corn
loans will be made to eligible pro-
ducers in Kent and New Castle
Counties at a rate of about 50 per
cent of parity or a loan rate of ap-
proximately "a cents per bushel.
To be classed as eligible producers,
farmers must have planted within
their allotments. Since Sussex
County is considered as non-com-
mercial corn area, the 1941 corn
loan rate will be rs per cent of the
loan rate prevailing in the CONNER
cial corn area which includes New
Castle and Kent Counties. This
rate indicates that Sussex County
farmers will have a corn loan rate
of about 63 cents per bushel. The
1914 Corn Loan Program calls for
making loans for corn stored on
farms in approved bins or in ap-
proved elevators as of December l,
1941, for either ear or shelled corn
Corn loans obtained as of Decem-
Der / will mature on August 81
Loans will be made on corn grad
ing No. or better and carrying
not more than 20 per cent moisture
Complete information on securing
loans under the 1941 Corn Loan
Program may be obtained from
county AAA offices. Committee
men will be able to advise farmers
on exact loan rates for various Sec
tions of the State.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON

The eclipse of the moon on Sun
day night was as satisfactory in
every way-the day, the time in
the day, and clear sky-as it could
be. The wind had been blowing
freshly from the east and clouds
obscured the sky most of the after
noon, but shortly after the moon
arose they rolled away, giving
beautiful evening and an unob-
structed sight throughout the
eclipse. Most everybody had a sat-
isfactory look at it, and the gazers
through the course of the shadows
track across the face of the earth
were numbered by the millions.
Soon after the moon put in an ap-
pearance, a dark edge was noticed
on the lower edge which gradually
grew larger and larger. BY the
time the face of the moon became
half-obscured about 6 o'clock prob
ably two-thirds of the people were
passing out and in their dwellings
to watch the progress of the
eclipse, and by 6.37, the whole face
of the moon had been telescoped by
the earth's shadow. At o'clock
the shadow had passed completely
over and the moon was shining as
brightly all over the country as it
ever did before. The eclipse was
the fourth within a period of eight
years: 1t will be Is years before
there will be another so perfect an
eclipse.

Ambassador Lord Halifax. back in

day that the continent OF Europe
must be invaded before a final
victory can be achieved over Nazi
Germany.
The British envoy said. however,
that such an invasion could not be
carried out successfully by Britain
at the present time. Questioned at
a press conference as 10 whether
he deemed an American Expedi-
Itionary Force necessary TO such
an invasion. Lord Halifax said he
had never heard the matter dis
cussed by his governments au-
thoritieS.
To lay the groundwork for such
a possible future croSS-channeI in
