DO I have no doubts for the
future ?" writes DR.. Durant. yes.
Certainly, we shall pass through
misery and terror. But envy our
children"
Delaware agriculture's 1941 out
look is for improved domestic de-
mand for farm products, smaller
exports, higher general average Of
prices and larger total cash income
from marketings. Farm income
may be the largest since 1929. But
K. w. Baker, farm management
specialist for the Delaware Algri-
cultural Extension Service, reports
that increased costs of commodi-
ties and services used in farm pro-
duction will cancel part of the 1871
gain in farm income.
Production of all agricultural
goods combined may be little
smaller in 1871, but with large
carry-over stocks of several farm
products the total supply will be
fully adequate for the country's
needs. 1t appears that the farm
ers who are in the best position as
to prices and income are those pro-
ducing for Delaware and nearby
markets of dairy and
poultry products, meats, and some
of the fruits and vegetables. Prin-
cfpal support to prices and income
from wheat and corn will be gov
eminent loan and export programs.
Baker says that for National De
Tense, the physical condition Of the
agricultural plant is the best in
many years. Soil productivity has
been increased. Man power is
more than enough for an emer-
gency.
Since Delaware is located in the
highly industrialized Northeast
Area, farmers must study the pre-
sent economic situation when plan
ming their future farming business.
Baker maintains that it will be
necessary for farmers to tighten
their belts" by lettering general
farm conditions through planning
to use credit efficiently, make wise
use of labor, curtal wholesale ex-
pansion, make more efficient use of
farm machinery and practice more
self-eficient farming by planting
home gardens and maintaining
poultry and livestock for eggs,
milk and meat.

COLD WEATHER
HARD ON AUTOS
Makes Starting More Diff
ficuIt; Safety Council Lists
Rules for Winter Driving
COMPLETE CHECK-UP

Psychologists tell us that just as
an unsuccessful attempt to over
take and pass slow moving We
hicle greatly initiates a driver, so
an annoying four or five minutes
at the beginning of trip may
poison ones mental composure for
the rest of it.
Cold winter weather naturally
makes starting more difficult and
preliminary precautions are requir-
ed to avoid trouble. They include
ID a complete mechanical check
of the ignition system spark
plugs, points, starter, and a fully
charged battery, (2) the use of a
good grade of winter oil in the mo-
tor, and 81 the use of a good
volatile winter blend of gasoline.
Three tips from the Delaware
Safety Council on starting are as
follows:
First, depress your accelerator
to the floor twice before you touch
the starter button. This makes an
extra charge of gasoline available
for the first firing.
Second, always depress your
clutch pedal when using the start
er. In that way the heavily greas-
ed gears in the transmission do not
have to be turned over with the
motor, and you tighten the load on
the starter
Third, if you do not have an
automatic choke, pull out your
manual control fully during the
first few revolutions of the motor
that the starter is turning over,
then push it in half way. Use the
choke sparingly after that only
enough to keep the motor from
suffering.
Some other precautions which
should be taken in winter weather
are to see that the windshield win
er is in good condition, for clear
vision is a prime requisite fer driv-
ing in inclement weather; also t.
see that red lights are kept burn
ing during snow storms or foggy
weather, for rear-end collisions are
nearly as numerous as head-on col
lisions when visibility is obscured
by snow, sleet or fog.

In FREEDOMS CAUSE

Referring to the plight of the
latest victim of wanton aggression
among the nations of the world
Booth Harrington, noted author, ex-
presses the thought of millions of
liberty-loving Americans when he
declares that ''the burning indigna-
ton of the world should not burn
itself out in mere words of sympa-
thy for the Greeks"
We have an opportunity to turn
the words into action by responding
to the Greek War Relief organiza-
tons nationwide appeal for funds
to be sent to Greece to be admins
tered there among the distressed
women and children and aged left
destitute by the brutal assault of
Mussolini's forces, and also to sue
cor the wounded in the pitifully out
numbered but fiercely fighting army
of the embattled little homeland.
Only God knows the extent to
which the suffering will be increased
by Hitler's participation in the saw
age attack on historic, heroic Hellas
to whom civilization owes veritably
its birthright.
Valiant aid to valiant people who
dared to remain free by resisting the
invader. 1t is urgently needed
at once. Let the amount of your
contribution be governed by the size
of your purse Where local commit
tees have not yet been formed, checks
may be sent direct to the Greek War

MILL DAM BROKEN

About 5 o'clock Sunday after
noon last cave in of the dirt was
discovered on the south side of the
waste gates at Garrison's mills,
four miles south of Smyrna, and a
small current of water was forcing
its way around the timbers of the
bridge. Help was Immediately
called, but the force of the water
increased so rapidly it was utterly
impossible to stop it and they
speedily drew the main gates with
the view Of lessening the volume
and force of water through the
break, but before the pond. was
emptied about fifty-two feet of the
road was carried away and the
bridge partially undermined. The
disaster has caused great incon-
venience to the travelling public in
reaching points north, who are
compelled to take a rounding
course via the Central Mills and
Brenford to again intersect the
State road in their travel three or
four miles.

PROGRESS MADE
IN TEN STEPS
Will Durant, Famous PhilOs-
Opher and Author, Lists 10
Steps of Mans Progress
ENVIES CHILDREN

''Only within the past century
has it become the fashion to say,
OF course, PROGRESS is real, /" de-
clares Will Durant, famous phil
osopher and author, in the current
issue of the Rotarian Magazine.
In the midst of the wealth and
power of the 18th Century, some
of the wisest of men raised a ques-
ton mark over the idea of pro-
gress."
William Morris-inventor of the
Morris chair-John Ruskin, and
Tolstoy We're among those who
question if the accumulation of
comfort and wealth were really
progress as long as men suffered
from poverty and ill nourishment.
IAN increase in mechanisms is not
necessarily progress, Author Dur
ant points out. Science is but a
committee on ways and means, and
it is always reporting progress, but
the human heart is the committee
on resolutions and platforms. It
decides what we shall want to do
with these tremendous instrument
talities, and it is always humbly re
porting that it has the same basic
desires it had $4,000 years ago"
Yet Philosopher Durant believes
that man has made ten steps up
from the jungle: ten steps which
once made We're never lost. These
are: The coming of Speech, The
Conquest of the Animal, The Con-
quest of Fire and Light, The COM
ing of Agriculture, The coming of
Social Organization, The Coming
of Morality, The Development of
the Esthetic Sense, The Devel-
opment of Science, The Coming
of Means of Communications, and
last, Education.
These steps, DR.. Durant, declares
are the basic ones that even war
and hunger have not been able to
abolish. One by one, from the COM
ing of speech to the development
of systems for handling knowledge
on to the next generation, they
have meant progress of man from
a jungle beast to whatever he may
be today. These are the signs of
real progress.
