controller will be filled by Edwin
c. Coughlin, chief accountant OF
the controllers office. Coughlin's

the past both as acting city con.
troller and acting deputy con.

In announcing McLaury's ap.
pointment, Mayor Jeffries said:
IL felt the Importance of the
task of handling the 10000 air
raid wardens we will ultimately
have will require the full-time
efforts OF a man with Mr.. Nc

His work with the navy and
with the city especially suit him
for this work; we are fortunate
to have such a man with his
background to take over the
job"
The mayor paid tribute TO boil

they've done in recruiting 30,00'
air raid wardens and in settinj
up training courses for the n so

spoons to soften moderately hard
water. Second, remove cake wrap

before using. Third, do not leave
soap in water longer than neces-

dish dry. Fourth, save all scraps

WISE USE OF
SOAP ADVISED
Suggest Delaware Homemak-
ers Buy and Use Soap
Supplies Wisely
MAKE SOAP LAST LONGER

Since the war has Limited the
supply of essential fats and per-
fume oils used in the manufacture
of soap products, Miss Louise R.
Whitcomb, home management spec
ialist for the Delaware Agricultur-
al Extension Service, suggests that
Delaware homemakers buy and
use our present soap supplies more
wisely. Buy soap suitable for the
job to be done, and consider the
weight of the soap as well as the
composition, advises Miss Whit
comb. She recommends a neutral
soap for bathing. For heavy laund-
ering or dish washing, a harsher
yellow or white soap is preferable.
Homemakers are reminded that the
price of soap is not always guar
antee of mildness for the cost can
be greatly affected by perfume,
fancy packaging and novelty
shapes. Soap flakes, chips and
powders, although convenient, are
more expensive than soap in cake
form. Wise use of soap products
as well as wise buying is import

The soups that most of us really
like best though, are those with
heft and substance. We enjoy eat
ing them, and they are both COM
forting and satisfying to the inner
man. Since such a soup is highly
nourishing we can serve it as the
main dish for a light lunch or
supper or as a hearty first course
for dinner.
These days there is an almost
unbelievable number of delicious
soups for our enjoyment. Just look
at the variety on your grocer's
shelves. Then, too, we can take
those fine canned soups and by
combining two or more Of them
together achieve new and altogether
individual flavors.
Or we can use q canned soup as
a base and add outside ingredients
