eventuality which may occur as a
resrlt Of such action.
The nations of Europe were
,,uoht mapping. America is still
.sleep. dreaming blissfully in COM
mi but headed for a terrific
mock unless there is an immedi-
ste awakening to the gravity of
our present situation.
Should we get to our task i'm
mediately, there need be no fear
If the outcome. This country has
~ brains, Drawn and tools neces-
sary TO arm against any aggression
ar group of aggressors that may
attempt to violate our territories.
To arm America for total de-
sense. it is necessary for every
red-blooded American to put his
shoulder to the wheel. The entire
defense program is falling down
today because it lacks direction.
In order to accomplish a great
task, it is first necessary to out
line what is to be accomplished.
A plan is like a compass; it makes
if possible for all of us to go in
the same direction. Such a plan
should be open and frankly stated.
People get nervous when they
keep finding out things after they
have happened. Dictators thrive
on confusion. Our best safeguard
against bewilderment is to have.
a plan everybody understands, and
70 execute it quickly and accu-'
rately.
In such an emergency govern
ment must take the leadership. Its
policies should be clear-cut and
municipalities that will create
confidence; policies that will give
this great nation the will to re-
yitalize itself and be ready to take
on whatever responsibilities are
necessary to let the rest of the
world know that we are proud of
Americanism and the institutions
upon which this nation was
founded.
Once government has accurately
laid down the task, it then be-
comes the responsibility of every
one Of US to do our part. AS indi-
viduals we must be prepared to
make sacrifices and give up our
comforts in order to carry the
burden before us.
Management must be prepared
10 make courageous decisions. 1t
must be willing to forego all prof
It's if necessary. II is now con-
tonted with the most difficult
problems ever put up to manage
ment. 1t must be equal to the task.
Labor must purge its ranks of
those who are not sincerely in ac-
cord with the program for the de-
tense Of American institutions.
The task of labor will be long in
hours. Machines are helpless with
out skilled men to operate them.
Side by side labor and manage
ment must cast aside their differ
ehces in favor Of the common well
iare Of a great people.
The efforts Of industry must be
sustained by an adequate food
supply. This task falls into the
hands Of the farmer. He, too, must
oe prepared TO make every sacri-
nee. Fortunately, the type of food
needed is such that farmers turn
ing their fields and farm opera
uon to defense foods will be more
prosperous than present cash crop
iarmers, for there are nc SURPRISES
IN these much needed foods.
America must be aroused to the
occasion. This can be started by
laying the defense problems and
requirements frankly before the
people. Once this is done, every
man and woman will understand
clearly why and how we must put
our shoulders to the wheel. Once
On American knows what's ex-
pected Of him, you can count on
MS delivering the goods"

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Delaware delegates have just re-
turned from the National Nutrition
Conference, called by President
Roosevelt for May 26th, 9th and
18th. The purpose of the confer
ence was to make definite recon-
mendations to the president for a
program of action to make this a
nation of strong well nourished
people. In this time of unlimited
emergency, national safety is
threatened by that large number of
our people who are not well fed. In
other more settled times better nu-
triton will contribute to the pro-
gress of the country.
Delegates from Delaware were
Miss Pearl Macdonald, nutrition
specialist of the Extension Division
and Chairman of the State Nutri-
ton Council, DR.. Edwin Cameron,
Executive Secretary of the State
Board of Health, Miss Eta j. Will
son of the Delaware Citizens Asso-
ciation Miss Henrietta Fleck, in
structor in nutrition at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, Mr.. G. Taggart
Evans, Executive Secretary of the
Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Asso-
citation, and myself.
Physicians specialized in obstet-
RIGS, pediatrics and public health,
nutritionists already engaged in eff
forts to solve the problem, repre-
sentatives of public health nursing,
dietitians, farmers and their wives,
labor representatives, manufactur-
ers of food products, social workers
in fact a cross section of the peo-
pie best able to solve the problem
of malnutrition were assembled at
the invitation of the president.
National Leaders Speak
Many of the nations leaders ad-
dressed the assembled guests-as
they said asking the questions
which they expected US to answer.
Mrs. Roosevelt, President Wal
lace, Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard, Secretary of Labor Perk-
ms, Assistant Secretary of State
Berle, Surgeon General Parran, Di-
/ rector of Extension Wilson, Miss
Harriet Eliot in charge of the Con-
sumner Division, General Hershey of
the Selective Service System and
Paul McNutt, Coordinator of
Health, Welfare and Nutrition,
were among the outstanding speak
ers. The conference was not idle
in trying to answer the questions
which the government leaders ask
ed. There were nine sections and
many of the sections were subdi-
vided, each assigned a portion of
! the problem. Each section after
thorough and democratic discussion
returned to the conference with
specific recommendations for a ma
tional program. Each one of the
suggestions by itself would furnish
material FIR a long discussion. Sus-
gestions ranged all the way from
increased nutrition education for
physicians, nurses, dentists, teach
ers and social workers to the part
which fod plays as a weapon of
war

KINGSTON CASTS
 DISSENTING VOTE
Alderman Believes System of Assessments Unfair:
 Bills Amended

Property owners on Wolcott street, from Marlboro street nor therly, who have been assessed for the layout of the street, need pay only 9.1 per cent of the amounts billed against htem, the Board of Aldermen voted last night.
 The layout was started by the city, but was taken over and com- pleted by the State Highway De- partment. An Aldermanic commit tee reported last night that a survey showed htat 91 per cent of hte work had been done by the city and that property owners should be bil- led for only that percentage.
 The only negative vots was cast by Alderman George L. Kingston, who claimed that the method being followed was unfair. The assessments should be levied section by section, he said, depending on the amount of work done by the city in each area.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Tchoikovsky Revealed Emotions in His Music

GTnOTlO0S IQ T7IS NNQSiC
 RUSSIA introduces the great AN composer, Peter Ilich Tchai- kovsky to philately in the stamp above, one of a series of five stamps commemorating the cente- nary of his birth. The portrait on the stamp above was taken at the age of 40; the music in the scroll is from his Fourth Symphony. Other designs show his home at Kiln and a portrait taken shortly before his death.
 Tchaikovsky revealed his per- sonal emotions in his music, full of depth and melody, somber and filled with unrealized longing. Critics see in his compositions reflection of his unfortunate TO- mances.
 Tchaikovsky fell in love with an opera star when he was 28. She refused his proposal, married a baritone. At 37 he met and mar ried Antonina Milioukov, but the marriage lasted only 13 days.
 The real woman in Tchaikov- sky's life was Nadejda won Meek, a wealthy widow, who became in- terested in the young composer, paid him a yearly allowance so that he could devote all of his time to music. Although they corre- sponded for 13 years, wrote more than 5000 letters, they never met.
 Tchaikovsky visited United States in 1891, played at the dedi- cation of New York's Carnegie Hall. He died two years later from cholera, after drinking unboiled Wate~.
