(Continued rrom first PaeeI


tory service which has been one
of the outstanding features of the
Milford Laundry since its found
ing a few years ago by Mr.. Gala
way.
Approximately 80 persons are on
the payroll of the Milford Laundry,
included in this number are the
five drivers who operate delivery
and pickup trucks, that cover both
Kent and Sussex counties.
The Milford Laundry not only
maintains one of the most modern
laundrying services on the PENN
sula, but specializes in dry clean
ing by the famous Zoric method.
This latter phase of the plants
operation, is directed by experts in
the dry cleaning field and every
garment cleaned by the Zoric meth
cd is guaranteed to be free from od-
ors often left in the garments by
other cleaning preparations.
Mr.. Dare has been in Milford all
this week supervising the plant
operation. A Kiwanian, he attend
ed the meeting of the Milford club
on Tuesday evening and was great
ly pleased with the hearty welcome
given him by the local members.
He plans to make his home in
this city in the next few weeks or
as soon as he can obtain a satfs-
factory home for his family.

receive a card on which she will
record, among other items, her
present occupational status, eX-
perience and training, and partic-
ulars about her affiliation with the
federation. individuals will mail
their cards direct to national head
quarters, where, after the cards are
analysed and tabulated, the file will
be available for federation and gov
ernmelt use in studying occupa-
tional trends and shifts, aiding in
the location of needed skills, and
thinking through on the problems
Of vocational adjustment at the
conclusion of the war period.
Data will be readily accessible
for various purposes. For instance,
all members with clerical or secre-
tarial training, or those within a
given state who are now employed
as nurses, can be located immedi-
ately through the master file.
According to Miss Pennypacker
the information will be kept up-to-
date, so that changes in address,
occupation, income, and training
will be registered as soon as they
occur. The file will present a pic
ture of shifting occupations and
residence as result of defense.
The Federation hopes thus to be
able to act as a laboratory for Gov
ernmental and other agencies in
surveying the effect of defense
upon a large group of women work
ers.
In addition to determining de-
fense and post-defense opportuni-
ties and responsibilities the master
file will be valuable as a legislative
and vocational tool, enabling the
federation to inform members of
proposed Government action that
will effect their communities or oc-
cupations, and to supply human in
terest material about women in
specific occupations. OF immediate
interest to community defense
councils and organizations are the
files of any local or state group
that may be set up through the
system being established by the
national federation.

Harrin
Angered Over
WOman's 'sAttack
CONTINUED from First Pare,

Donovan was taken before Judge
John p LeFevre on Thursday of
last week in the Kent County Court
OF Common Pleas at Dover and held
without bail for trial in the Febru-
ary term of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer after waving hearing.
Police said he made no statement
regarding the assault
Victim Is Highly Regarded
Mrs. Carson, mother of two sons,
is popular among the residents of
Harrington. She is the proprietor
of a small restaurant next to the
Ace Manufacturing Company OF
Clark street. Her husband is a
truck driver for Harry Porter and
was in New York at the time the
attack took place. The comely
mother was enroute to an ice cream
store block distant from her home,
when she was accosted by an un-
known man inquiring about another
resident of Harrington, Suddenly
he slugged her in the face, stun
ming her, police said, but she man
aged to grapple with her assailant
before lapsing into unconscious
ness. The man dragged her to the
rear of the Powell furniture store
where he assaulted her. Following
the attack her assailant fed from
the scene and was seen by Cornell
Tee, who later found Mrs. Carson
staggering to the street in a dazed
condition.
The intersection where the at
tack took place is we'll lighted.
Clark street, the main thorough
fare leading to the business sec
tion of Harrington is heavily trav-
eled.
Taken To Hospital
Tee took Mrs. Carson to the office
of DIR. W. T. Chapman, and she was
later transferred to the Milford
Memorial Hospital. Her face was
badly bruised from the blows of
her attackers fists. Residents quot
ed her husband as saying it was
difficult to recognize her.
Police were reluctant to discuss
how Donovan was apprehended, but
residents said that after talking to
Mrs. Carson they got the name of
the person for whom her assailant
asked. On questioning they learned
that Donovan fitted the meager de-
scription that Mrs. Carson gave the
police. At the hospital police said
she positively identified the man
as her attacker.
Residents also said that Mrs.
Carson told her husband that she
bit one hand and scratched the face
of the attacker. Donovan is alleged
to have scratch and bite marks.
Mrs, Carson is a sister of the late
William ]. Derrickson, who was
killed at a railroad crossing, near
Pennington, recently.

Sees Gain In Barley
Mr.. Hodgson in his report said
barley as a crop is gaining favor
in Delaware and on many farms
is replacing part of the wheat and
corn acreage. The raising of lima
beans for canning purposes is an
outstanding and developing enter
prise in the ventral and lower parts
of the state.
ledCners, MI hOuSSOH Sdiu, are
following a recommendation to en-
phasize wherever possible more
work on farm machinery, servicing
and repairing; more work on poul-
try, especially laying hen projects,
and more swine projects.
These are projects that the boys
can get into quickly and get salts

There is no one more interested in
the manufacture of planes than
Miss Anderson. but when it comes
to travelling by air she-like her
boss. Secretary Frances Perkins,
likes to travel nearer the ground
and goes by train. Neither she nor
the Secretary ever would fly eX-
cept in an extreme emergency-and
that would not happen often as they
both believe in preparedness in the
affairs of daily life and plan well
and execute without furry.
Women Well Fitted
For Jobs, She Finds.
During her Western inspection
trip she visited airplane factories
In California and Seattle. and was
much eratified over the number Of
young women engaged, and empha-
sized, with show Of satisfaction,
that they were even better fitted
for some jobs than men. This she
said she found in the California
factories in which women were en-
gagged in very precise jobs in ma
chine tool making where the tiny
parts used in the manufacture OF
shells and fuses require the most
delicate handling and deXterlty in
placing. 1t was found that women
we're doing very precise jobs IN
punch presses, assembling primers
to shells on dial presses and run
ming machines lor the shell draw
ing cups.
Miss Anderson made it very clear
that while women can do many Jobs
as well as if not better than men.
1t was not the aim TO have women
replace men. She stressed the ne
cessitv of health and safety meas
ures for women which she advocates
as conducive to the best work and
most efficient output. Carefully
guarded machines protection against
industrial poisons, special lighting
equipment for fine work, right kind

and the job, good plant sanitation.

hours of work to prevent excessive

added the proviso that for those
who 90 work, and do not have to
make living. it might be better for
them to do the kind of work that
would create Jobs for those who

that the right to work should not be
