WASHINGTON MARCHES

The march on Washington scheduled
for July l was called off because its
main objective was yielded when the
President issued the order banning dis
elimination in defense industries. How
ever, this does not mean that the
March" movement is to be abandoned
altogether. According to announce
ments from the March-on-W Washington
committee the several regional units will
remain intact, will "rest on arms" as
it were, awaiting further instructions
and meanwhile will observe and ap-
praise the effectiveness of the executive
order.
The understanding seems to be that
the capitol invasion" has only been
postponed and that the scattered COM
ponents of the "army" may be sum-
moned to start the "March" all over
again if defense employment does not
clear satisfactorily.

OPINION

However, the one commodity in which
credit is extended very cautiouslv :
money. Even big business houses wbon

and many other intimate details ahont

These Investigations are costly. 4
credit union is able to do away with all
this red tape because the members are
well acquainted with each other In
stead of paying $50 per month up for
money-which amounts to 1870 a wear
members of credit unions hardly
ever pay more than 6qS-a saving on
interest charges of 500.
Concerning thrift, weekly savings
of 25f week up are accepted by credit
unions. In time of emergencies or
opportunities when extra money i
needed, thrifty credit union member
has no difficulty at all in getting loan
from his credit union.
But more important to us unbleacbed
Americans, is the business training and
opportunities made possible by Credit
Unions. at teaches its members how
capital is managed, safeguarded and
multiplied by useful employment; it
teaches business methods, self-govern-
ment and self-reliance and thereby
brings to the industrious and thrifty
man higher reward than wages-the
confidence Of his fellow citizens" No
matter how large or small your CAPT.
tai, one share or one hundred shares
entities you to only one vote in the
Credit Union.
Basing our conclusion on the money
spent of numbers, we may easily du-
picate the feat of the Quebec Credit
Union and in II years make loans ap-
proximating one million dollars.
Here in Boston we have the Pro
gressive Credit Union with Mr.. Julian,
Hotel Employees Credit Union with
Mr.. Love, Sgt. Lemon Credit Union
with Mr.. Isaacs, the Century Credit
Union with Mr.. Steele. Your money
would be wisely invested in any of these

WOMEN AND THE BAKERY
STRIKE

1t is an interesting fact that the
strike of the bakery truck drivers has
not caused the public hardship which
many persons feared it might. Although
there was some complaint during the
first days of the strike it was neither
loud nor long-continued. Housewives
soon readjusted their home economy,
and home breadmaking has come back
into its own in many families. Then,
too, the shortage of bakers bread ap-
pears to have been overcome to some
extent by an increased output by neigh
borhood bakeries and the chain stores.
Substitutes for bread have been found
In the several cereals and the great
variety of crackers, rolls and fancy
biscuits"
"Let 'em eat cake" was not an en-
couraging formula, since with the van
ishing supply of "store bread" went
also the alluring cellophane-wrapped
cakes usually on conspicuous display
at the grocer's. Nevertheless, the pos
SCISSOR of ga sweet-tooth" seems also to
have sought out the local "bake shop"
where there are cakes and cakes to
vary the prosaic menu of waters and
snaps still in abundance on grocery
store shelves.
From all sides come reports that
families have welcomed return to
home bread-making. As one middle
aged housewife commented: "Store
bread never can equal homemade bread.
Our young women now have splendid
chance. to learn to make their own
bread and biscuits. When they learn
to do it well, they will find much pleas
ure and compensation in the delight of
husbands and children. They'll be
healthier, too" Perhaps the younger
wives already have started to learn,
for apparently as a result of the strike
there has been an increased sale Of
-four and other bread-making ingredi-
ents, grocers say.

Chesapeake Bay Ferry
Schedule Is Changed
Winter Schedule Went Into
Effect On Tuesday
of This Week

Ending one of the busiest sum-
mer seasons on record, the Ches-
apeake Bay Ferry System, Mary
lands most popular route between
the Eastern and Western Shores of
the state, has changed to a winter
schedule of operations between
Annapolis=Matapeake and Roman
coke-Claiborne. This new schedule
became effective September 23.
Coincident to the national cam
paign to save gas, the Chesapeake
Bay Ferry System affords the mo-
torist pleasant avenue of cur
tailment in motor fuel when driv-
ing to or from the Del-Mar-Va PEN
insula. Not only does the trip
across the Chesapeake Bay effect
a savings in fuel consumption and
time, the delightful break in driv-
ing gives all renewed vigor for
safe resume of the journey. This
sound logic gave cause for the
ferry system to adopt the axiom,
use the Ferry and Relax, Fatigue
Causes Fatality"

Now Is The Time To

Fall Seeding Is Natures Way OF
Replenishing Grass

Now is the time to get that lawn
into shape for next season. Fall
seeding is natures own way and
grass grows naturally well in the
fall when weeds are less trouble
some and when nights are cool and
natural moisture is more plentiful.
Lime, fertilizer and organic matter
should be worked into the soil,
making the seed bed firm and fine.
A good seed mixture, should be
applied at the rate of about 5 fb
per 1000 square feet There are
many good lawn mixtures on the
market and naturally in seeding a
lawn or, in buying any kind of seed
it pays to buy the best. A suitable
mixture for Delaware is composed
of 40 ID of Kentucky Blue Grass, 25
of Chewing's Fescue, 25 of Redtop,
of Colonial Bent grass and of
White Dutch Glover. Keep the soil
moist at all times until the seed |
