STATE RELICS
ARE DISPLAYED
Colonial Delaware Relics on
Exhibition This Week at
RehObOth Beach
RECALL EARLY DRAMAS
utwNU service)

Colonial Delaware emerges from
the dusty past this week in the
current exhibition of historical and
domestic arts and crafts at the Re-
hoboth Art League studio. Many
of the privately owned relics have
never before been assembled for
public showing. The first public
viewing was on Sunday between 4
and p. M, at tea sponsored by
members of the league. Unwritten
dramas of the sea and the many
facets of primitive existence of the
earliest colonists are embodied in
the rare collection of boarded
treasures. Prominently displayed
is model of the schooner, Annie
e. Hall, built for the late Gov. John
w. Hall of Delaware at the Lank
shipyards in Frederick. The ill
fated vessel was lost on her maiden
voyage with her entire crew of 81
Frederick men, in storm off Cape
Hatteras. The model is loaned by
B. R. Langston of near Frederick.
The career of Patty Cannon, nefar-
ious slave trader of the Civil War,
is recalled in a pistol made by Pete
Sockum, Portuguese slave. A peg
from the Cheney Glow Fort near
Kenton in Kent County carries the
story of how Federalist and his
wife resisted arrest in their strong
hold during the Revolutionary War.
A net cap once worn by Betsy Ross
Smyrna times., 1941-07-17

and a badge worn by Gideon Jac-
ques in the Lafayette celebration,
when the French general returned
to this country, are among the rel
les loaned by Mrs. James H. Hugh
es of Dover, president of the
league. A fragment of embroider-
ed muslin from the cape of Dolly
Madison, worn when she rescued
George Washington's picture from
the burning White House, holds
much interest. Mrs. Cecil c.. Full
ton, the former Miss Louise Cole of
Dover, chairman of the exhibition,
has contributed wooden model of
a Sussex County ox-cart, complete
in every detail with oxen and wood
ak, carved more than 80 years ago
by William Cannon, Sussex Coun-
ty Negro. The animals are so
realistic they have been identified
as of Herford ancestry. Mrs. Full
ton has also loaned a cut-out sill
houette of 1910 by the artist'I. S."
a likeness of her great grandfath-
er, Levi Cannon. Judge Richard S.
Rodney of New Castle has loaned
print from a map made by ALL
gustine Herman in 1878, and a rare
Joshua Fisher map taken from an
original chart of the Delaware Bay
and River, dated 1776. Among
other contributors of relics are:
Mrs. Prev Savoy of Washington,
fragment of latticed iron step from
Cape Henlopen Lighthouse, and a
woven coverlet, legend Martin
Hoke" made in Dover in 1888. Will
bur S. Corkran, gate weights made

milk demand has been slight, and
properly forecasting requirements
for thickly populated areas. With
out the well organized U. S. milk
distributing system it is doubtful
if fresh milk could have been so
readily supplied.
The army ration, which means
food provided for one man for one
day specifies among other things
s OF. of fresh milk, 2 OF. of butter,
l OF. of evaporated milk and Il or.
of cheese.
In the Revolutionary War the
ration called for a pint of milk per
soldier per day the only time
fresh milk even appeared on the
ration until the present. 1t is doubt
full, however, If Washington's SOL
diers ever got milk unless they
surreptitiously milked COWS near
the bivouacs.
Army officials believe fresh milk
provides health-giving and body
building values of the highest
order. 1t. Col. Paul P. Logan, Sub
sistence Office. War Department,
recently said:
"All of us in subsistence work
are acutely aware of the value Of
milk and dairy products in the
ration. We know that milk solids
are indispensable and that milk Is
the nearest perfect food"
Smyrna times., 1941-07-17

NEW YORK-U. S. soldiers in
the vast army maneuvers now un-
der way will fight their peacetime
battles with fresh milk in their
daily diet.
More than 35O,O00 quarts of fresh
fluid milk per day will be consumed
by the maneuver forces, plus the
new trainees in cantonments. Fresh
fluid milk has been added to the
daily ration to provide Americas
soldiers with the best possible diet,
according to the Milk Industry
Foundation.
In addition to fluid milk require
ments, over 20 tons of butter, more
than 10 tons of cheese and large
quantities of other dairy products
are consumed daily. This means
that more than 100000 quarts of
milk from American farms are re-
quired every day for pasteurization
and distribution or processing into
dairy products for the army.
The milk industry has been in
close touch with army require
ments to see that soldiers receive
fresh milk of the same high quality
as that delivered daily to consum-
ers' doorsteps.
This milk distribution required
building up the supply system in
thinly settled areas where fluid

Oystermen of Stockton and Cir
dletree, Worcester County, Md,
were told by Department of Health
officials that they would have to
move the floats in which they store
their oysters at least $50 feet away
from the shore. The order was is
sued by committee headed by DR..
Robert H. Riley, of the Maryland
Department of Health, who visited
the Eastern Shore and found that
most of the storage floats were tied
up to the bank. The move is pre-
ventative measure, DR.. Riley stat
ed, to lessen the contamination of
the oysters. Much foreign waste is
present in the water near the shore
and can quite easily affect the oys-
ters when they open their shells to
let the water over their gills, he
said.

CCC JOBS ARE
GOING BEGGING
Boom in Defense Jobs Leaves
More Than IT'S Vacan-
cies in CCC Quota
VALUE OF TRAINING

Jobs for more than IT'S Della
ware young men are going begging
because of the emergency boom in
employment. Wentworth H. Dew
erell, state CCC director of selec-
tion, said. Although the states
enrolment quota for the July 1-2O
period is 1873, only four men have
enlisted so far, Mr.. Deverell re-
ported. "This," he added, sis in
spite of the fact that the CCC is
offering training in skilled work to
its enlisted men-training that will
pay dividends in economic self-suf-
ficiency after this emergency has
passed and jobs are once more
scarce for the unframed man."
CCC men also are able to realize
almost immediate returns on their
training, the director revealed, cit
ing the fact that one large transit
company has a policy of hiring all
the CCC men, with honorable dis
charges, that it can get. Since last
November, rs such young men have
been employed through Mr.. Dever-
ellis office by this company. Hon
orable discharges are available to
all men who satisfy the corps re-
quirements and are able to secure
private employment at any time
during their CCC enlistment, Mr..
Deverell explained. 1t is not nee
essary, he added, for such men to
complete the period in the corps.
1--WE feel that there is a certain
shortsightedness on the part of
many young men who are taking
relatively low-paying and unskilled
work now, and passing up CCC op-
portunities that they would have
seized a few months ago." the di-
rector asserted. For one thing,
better pay is available to the
trained worker as soon as he has
received his instruction in the
corps. Then, there is the probabil-
ity of being better situated after
the defense job boom. We feel
that the CCC is not seeking to take
men away from private industry,
but rather to give industry the
trained and disciplined men it
needs. AS for the Army and
Navy, we are complementing their
work of training men in providing
much of the training and discipline
that the armed forces must develop
in their recruits if some organiza-
tion like the CCC has not already
taken the initial steps," 1t has
been progressively difficult for the
past Is months to secure men for
.CCC enrolment, Mr.. Deverell said,
but the present month is present
ing greater problems than at any
time in the past. In addition to the
four now enrolled for the 1873
quota, only two more men are in
sight, the director said. These are
Kent County men, leaving many
vacancies for each county at the
next enrolment dates.

MARRIAGES

Yocum-Turner Professor A.
Duncan Yocum, of Smyrna, and
Miss Mary E. Turner of Chester,
were married at the residence of
the brides parents last evening.
Only the immediate relatives of the
family were present. The bride look
ed charming in a white silk gren-
adine and carried white roses. The
groom appeared in full evening
dress. There was no bridesmaid or
groomsman. 1t was just a simple
home wedding, and the reception
was held after the ceremony in the
dining room. Mr.. and Mrs. Yocum
took the train for Philadelphia and
thence to Ocean Grove. The bride
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard E. Turner, and will reside
in Smyrna, when they return from
their wedding trip.

dition, was never paid for until
yesterday, 5000. nearly seven
months afterwards. There would
seem to be no excuse for such long
delays.
The Every Evening says: There
is storm of rising indignation
throughout the States over the
Postal Changes which went into
effect yesterday, and Superintend-
ent of Mail Service, Jackson, is be-
ing emphatically denounced, as be-
ing responsible for this gigantic
postal blunder. The new schedule,
it is proposed, should be framed,
and retained as a piece of monu-
mental blunder.
The complaint about prematur-
ing peaches, including those on
trees that are still healthy, still
continues. It is worse in some or
chards than in others, the younger
trees being more affected than the
older ones. Some places the dis
ease at one fifth, other at one
quarter, while one man who has a
prospective crop of 5000 baskets
speaks of the whole lot as being in
this category. If it was known
that it would stop where it is, a
great relief would be afforded the
growers.
