B. Clark, son of the late John n.

daughter of Thomas E. Bailey,
were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony by Rev. Albert Chand-
Ter. The bride was dressed in
white cashmere en- train, with veil

wore the usual black. The bride and
groom were preceded by the ush-
ers, bridesmaids and groomsman,
Miss Clara Nelson of Delaware
City, being bridesmaid and Mr..
Hiram Griffin, of Kenton, Grooms-
man. The bridesmaid wore white
cashmere. After the wedding the

of prospective trainees who are
submitting pleas for deferments in
advance of the time when they
come up for classification by their
local boards, General Berl said, "are
merely complicating the work of
local boards without service to the
interested parties"
Under selective service regula-
lions, local boards must classify
registrants according to their or
der numbers, General Berl pointed
out, and said that when the time
comes for the classification of a
registrant, he, his employer, and
his dependents will be given every
opportunity to substantiate defer
ment claims. Any information sub
nitted before a registrant receives
his QUESTIONABLE from his local
board, it was added, probably
would become obsolete and value
less. Employers in doubt as to the
likelihood of their employees being
called for selective service training
should consult state headquarters
where they will be given all pos
sible information, General Berl said.

NEW POULTRY
HOUSE BOOM
A Building Boom is on in
Poultry Industry; Two Mil
lion Birds Can be Housed
SPREAD OF AILMENTS

A building boom is on in Della
wares poultry industry where
poultry house construction has been
going on at rapid pace during
the past six months. And it looks
as though the construction boom
will continue. H. L. Richardson,
poultry specialist for the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service, re-
ports estimates that have placed
the capacity of the new bro1er
houses at from one to two million
birds.
Richardson claims that it is on
the farms where Matching eggs are
being produced that some of the
better poultry houses are now be-
ing constructed. He feels that the
expansion in housing facilities for
birds producing Matching eggs is
well founded because the rapidly
growing broiler industry will force
greatly-increased d e m n d S for
chicks upon hatcheries. More and
better houses in which Matching
eggs can be produced on Delaware
farms will mean that the hatchery
man can obtain quality eggs prac-
tically at his back door. Richard
son reveals that three, good-sized
Delaware hatcheries are already OBJ
tanning their eggs locally. Five or
six years ago, practically all of the
eggs going to Delaware hatcheries
were from out-of-state producers.
Here are some of the places
where interested poultrymen can
look over new poultry houses of

DEATH OF A BRIDE

On the 18th of February, Miss
Hattie Jones and Thomas c. Dulin,
of Blackstone Cross Roads were
united in marriage by Rev. Mr..
Wilson, of this town. In just two
weeks and a day from that event
she was a corpse-a short transi-
ton from the altar to the grave.
The usual circumstances, and sud
den and great bereavement of the
young husband naturally excited a
great deal of sympathy on the part
of the friends of the two families.
The death resulted from heart
failure, having had visitations of
the disease in a milder form on pre-
vious occasions. They were still
at her fathers, William NJ. Jones,
expecting to go to their new home
the next day, and were in the act Of
catching some chickens for this
purpose when she suddenly fell to
the ground and expired before any
relief could be afforded.

for deferment of registrant from
military training will be considered
until his local board has sent a
QUESTIONABLE to him. Information
for deferment, furnished by a man
before he receives his QUESTIONABLE

valueless. General Berl emphasiz-
ed that a registrant can be deferred
