CROPS HURT BY
DRY WEATHER
Continued from Page one)

new grass seeding had been killed
early for the same reason. In Bal
timore, Joseph Billy, assistant to
the chief of the weather bureau,
said that while dry period of two
to three weeks was to be expected
this time of the year this one was
getting real dry" He thought
that some crops were coming along
too fast and that farmers had been
forced to cut their corn earlier
than usual. The dry weather be-
gan about September 6, Mr.. Billy
sad. Before that there had been
showers on September 4 and 5, and
August 25 and hard rain in many
parts of the state on August 18.
Scattered areas had rain at other
dates. The whole year has been
deficient in precipitation, Mr.. Billy
declared, with only June and July
above normal. The warm weather
has held up longer than usual and
will probably continue for several
days, he predicted.
Forest Situation every Bad
William S. Taber, state forester
at Dover, said the fire hazard stu
alton was 'very bad" but that so
far the state had been fortunate
because there had been no serious
fires. He asked that motorists u.s.
ing highways near the forests ex-
ercise special caution in snubbing
their cigarettes and that campers
and mixers guard against careless
use of fires. Two of the states six
lookout stations, at Laurel and FL
lendale, will be opened within the
next day or two, a month earlier
than usual. Other fire lookouts
are at Dagsboro, Woodenhawk,
Viola, and Smyrna.

''ONE FOR ONE"
IS DAIRY RULE
Continued from Page One)

tion to 5000 pounds year if given
an extra 1000 pounds of grain. If
grain costs less than milk sells for,
it is good business to use the extra
grain, Soper pointed out. Quoting
the Presidents request to build up
food reserves "to meet emergencies
which can as yet be only dimly
foreseen," Soper said the PISA is
asking farmers to abandon the
practice of selling calves when
milk prices are high. Instead,
clients are asked to increase their
herds by growing replacements
bred from good dams and herd
sires. Farmers with insufficient
money to buy the larger amounts
of grain recommended are receiv-
ing loans from the FSA. In
drought areas government loans
are being made to farmers who
might otherwise be forced to re-
duce their herds because of hay
shortage, Soper said. Fear that
feed shortages may occur if there
are transportation difficulties has
caused the FSA to advise borrow
ers to buy grain in advance of
needs, pooling orders to make saw
ings through a purchasing associa-
tion wherever possible. Short
loans for the purchase of a months
supply of grain will be made to
families who are not feeding grain
on pasture and need to borrow
money to start feeding it on a cash
basis, the supervisor said. The
Food for Defense" drive is center
ed on milk, cheese, butter, eggs,
pork, and certain vegetables. FSA
clients are being urged to produce
added amounts of these foods both
to improve their own dinner table
and to have more of a balance for
sale. The goals which have been
established are: 1. An increase of
three pints of milk per COW per
day. 2. An increase of 20 eggs per
hen per year. 3. An increase in
pork production by taking care to
prevent killing of pigs between
birth and weaving. 4. Increase in
the production and preservation of
homegrown fruits and vegetables
by at least 10 percent.

The
What Not Shelf

We desire, thru this medium, to
thank all friends who remembered
our birthday this year. We got
two cakes, two lollipops, two
"cokes," three cards, numerous
phone calls, and a specially-for-the-
occasion, original poem by Evelyn
Webb. Also, boquet of flowers,
(orange daiseys and red berries,
tied with a purple ribbon) from our
esteemed little friend, Patty Mid
dleton. Also, many verbal good
wishes. We reveled in fame and
glory, basked in satisfaction, and
declared holiday!
Probably no one down here has
ever heard of him, but there is a
certain nasal-voiced announcer at
WDEL and WILM, by the name of
Moe Mulderic. He has a record
program, called Noes Show (or is
it Shoe), at which time he plays
1--WE for the jitterbugs, interspersed
with Mulderic wit.
Incidentally, he probably doesn't
want it known, but his real name is
Elmer.
Moe helps out a bit at the Drama
League, and is occasionally humor-
ed by being given a small, walk-on
part. We begrudgingly admit that
he does have sense of humor, if
somewhat perverted and on the
practical-joke-side, and would do
anything (that doesn't cost him
money! for the sake of laugh.
Currently, we're a-feudin', Noes
Show and The What Not Shelf.
We understand he announced on
the radio that he expects lots of re-
quests and fan mail from the
Smyrna area-Or Else! Or else
what, Elmer?
The Little Theatre is in full
swing now, and itching to do
things dramatic. Attendance at
the second revival meeting" Mon
day night was sizeable and satis-
factory and much was accomplish
ed, including a lot of hearty laughs.
Jay Davis, one of the new men,
bers, suggested a series of panto-
mine in order that members could
practise self : expression without
the use of words. The results were
startling, and lots of fun. The
group is also reading three-act
play, ''The Circle" and the first
act was completed Monday night.
Next Monday, the members will
meet at the Club House, at which
time there will be an election of
officers and directors. The three
act comedy, March Hares", dis
cussed for the next production, will
also be read at the meeting Mon
day.
The Little Theatre is greatly en-
couraged over the prospect of new
curtain and stage sets. Imagine
A curtain that closes when a play
is over! And sets that don't have

to be pieced together like jig-saw
puzzles to make them fit the pur-
pose. Getting these new luxuries
will mean, however, that four town
organizations will have to work
like trojans to raise the necessary
money. 1t will mean card parties
and plays and bakes and benefits
of all sorts. All those people who
have expressed an interest in the
Little Theatre movement, but take
no active part, can cooperate by
attending all these money-making
functions.
George Ogle, stage manager at
the Wilmington Drama League,
and his assistant, Nancy Lackey,
drove down here from the big city
Tuesday night, to discuss with the
New Curtain and Drapes Commit
tee about the cost, material, yard
age, and mechanism of a new cur
tain and eye. Both George and
Nancy know their STUFF, and
gave many swell suggestions for
the improvement of the stage at
the minimum cost. All you female
Little Theatre members who didn't
attend this meeting-woe is youl
1t is reliably reported that George
is handsome-and resembles Rob-
ert Taylor. Mmmm. Maybe we
know Ogle (bless his old heart) too

The fire at Fretz Store at four in
the morning last Thursday was not
without its humor. It seemed as
though half the town turned out at
that unheard of hour, and the var
ious stages of attire were both in
teresting and amusing. Rapid
preparations for respectability
were obvious. Early arrivers and
nearby residents were content
with bathrobes and housecoats,
while last minute stragglers SEEM
ed to be fully clad. One elderly
lady even took time to don a hat.
The in-betweens were present with
anything from uncombed hair to
bedroom slippers. One girl we
greeted had on one brown shoe and
one white saddle oxford. But prob
ably the two best-dressed specta-
tors were Frank Greenwell and
Gebby Gebhart. The reason was
simple. They hadn't been to bed.
What they were celebrating was
never made clear, but at least they
had the distinction of being the
first on the scene.
Mrs. George Jones, on Mt. Ver-
non Street, and Mrs. Harry Slaugh-
ter, on South Street, both were
surprised last week to have their
night-blooming cereus bloom in the
daytime. This must have been
good season for that plant, for sew
eral people owning one have had
three and four bloomings-in itself
unusual. But for daytime bloom
ing, we are told, it is very rare
occurance.

All you cowboy drivers, beware.
The laws gonna getcha if va don't
watch out! Speeding and reckless
driving within this town has got to
stop, and the law isn't kidding.
They aren't waiting for somebody
to get hurt before they crack down.
1t does seem silly to speed like
demons through the village streets,
when probably all you are doing is
slipping downtown for a pack of
cigarettes. There certainly is more
speed here than is necessary. |
Friendly warnings won't do any
more. Instead, you'll tell it to the
judge, and fork over the fine.
