STATE LAND AT
FENWICK SOLD
Highway Department Gets
Applications for Purchase
by Summer VacatiOnists
SO OF THE ITO PLOTS SOLD

The State Highway Commission
Thursday afternoon approved sale
of SO Of the some ITO lots on a
tract of state-owned land at Fen
wick Island for summer cottages.
The acton was taken ON report of
Ernest Muncy, secretary of the
highway department, on the appli-
cations for purchase of the lots at

All Own Cottages
All the purchasers own cottages
on other state lands along the At
lantic Coast and around Indian
River Inlet from which they are re-
quired to remove their cottages by
April Is under order of the high
way commission. To provide sites
on which they and others may build
legally, the commission sometime
ago had the Fenwick Island tract
divided into building lots. Present
cottage owners on state lands are
being given first opportunity to
buy, and within a reasonable time
after each has accepted or declined,
remaining lots will be available for
sale to others. There are about 80
such owners or so-called squat
ters," who have built without land
title. Present owners may move
their cottages to their new lots.
New buyers will be required to
erect structures costing not less
than $1,000.
"Squatters" Given Notice
The so-called "squatters" all have
received notices from Muncy that
they must remove their cottages by
April Is, warning that "rastic ac-
ton will be taken by the depart
ment toward all cottages remaining
on state-owned land" after that
date. 1.-THE United States Navy is
also DESTROYS of having this situa-
ton corrected and is holding this
department responsible for condi-
tions existing along the Delaware
beach front" the department secre-
tary advised them.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The United States government is
still telling its people what it told
them twenty-five years ago Food
will win the war" Only this time
that slogan has been made even
stronger Food will win the war,
and write the peace"
The Delaware College Extension
Seryie issued a bulletin on food
during the last war which it called
Liberty Recipes" A quotation
from that bulletin might have been
written today. "Your government
does not wish you to give up three
square meals day-nor even one.
But it does ask you to eat plenty
but wisely-and without waste"
The advice to eat wisely still
goes, but we know now more what
it means to eat wisely. In the last
war the emphasis was on white
flour, lard, sugar, pork, beef and
butter. To conserve these foods
for the army the folks at home
were asked to use other grains than
wheat, vegetable oils, compound
fats, margarines, molasses, syrups
honey, eggs, fish, CHEESE, nuts, beans
and peas.
Many of the foods which we con-
sidered as substitute in the last
war are now the most highly priced
for our army, our allies and our
selves. Eggs, tomatoes, dried milk
and cheese as well as pork and but
ter are the things our allies are
asking for now.
At the time of the last war foods
were judged for protein and energy
values. Vitamins and minerals
were not yet considered in balanc-
ing the diet For example, con-
trast the old Liberty Recipes"
with suggestions in the new Exten-
sion"Delaware's Daily Food Guide. /"
All the Liberty Recipes" were for
breads, meat substitutes and des-
serts. In "Delaware's Daily Food
Guide" the emphasis is upon milk,
cheese, vegetables, fruits, eggs,
meat, fish, whole grain or enrich
ed cereals and breads and cod
liver oil. Sugars and sweets are
now mentioned only to warn that
their use should be moderate so
that other more valuable foods will
not be crowded out.
The advance and research in nu-
triton has been largely English and
American. We have discovered the
protective action of certain foods in
maintaining health and strength.
Yet this knowledge is more sci
entifically applied in Germany than
in the United States. AS patriotic
citizens we need to apply that nu-
triton knowledge which we have
discovered to make our nation bet
ter able ito win the war and write
the peace"

Boby-fine Hair Needs
Constant Attention

IF yours is fine, soft, thin hair,
Il your hairdresser has a name for
it. He calls it "baby-fine." He's
dubbed it that because he knows
what a trial it is. 1t has no body.
1t won't stay in place.
But it need not be a blight. Offer
ing encouraging words, Lucille Egel-
hoff writes in the October Good
Housekeeping magazine that
washed, waved, and dressed exactly
right it can be as pretty as baby's
fluffy topknot. Like baby's hair it
should be short, but cut so that it
can be curled all over the head MAX
ing it seem as though you have twice
as much hair as you really do. Using
no wave set, do it in small pin curls
over the entire head; then brush it
out in a halo of soft curls.
Naturally, writes Miss Egelhoff,
this type of hair requires the utmost
care. 1t must be washed and set
often, and never allowed to become
droopy or stringy. And as for per-
manent, find a hairdresser who un-
derstands your type and stick to her.
She will probably give you combi-
nation permanent; spiral for the
crown and front of the head and
croquinole for the lower half. She
may not shampoo your hair after
ward, but instead will rinse it light
ly in order to give the wave every
encouragement to set.

REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR

Gu tacsin of war, Remember
Pearl Harbor" has awakened a
martial spirit in American breasts
which will not be appeased until
the last treaty has been signed and
the last wound healed.
No better slogan could be found
to remind us of the dastardly at
tack of the Japs last December Z,
and of our country's high resolve
that this perfidy will be avenged.
Apart from the loss of life and
the injuries received, little has been
said of the fact that Pearl Harbor
is one of Uncle Sans most valu-
able naval bases and that upward
of fifty million dollars have been
spent on its improvement.
Pearl Harbor acquired its name
from the fact that the pearl oyster
was to be found there and no where
else in the Hawaiian Islands. It's
land-locked harbor is the finest in
the Pacific and its possibilities as a
naval base were recognized long
ago.
In 1925 AN expedition from the
British Isles reported that it was
large enough for the whole navy
of England"
Fifteen years later Commodore
Charles Wilkes, of the U. S. Navy,
reported that "if the water upon
the bar could be deepened, it would
afford the best and most capacious
harbor in the Pacific"
Lieutenant j. w. Curtis of the
Marine Corps, who visited the
islands on the USS Constitution
(Old Ironsides) in 1845, strongly
recommended that Pearl Harbor be
selected as a proper site for the
defense of Honolulu"
There were many subsequent sur
veys, but it was not until 1909 that
Pearl Harbor was started as a
naval base, and in 1914 a Marine
Corps post was established there.

however, mother returned to find
everyone down with chickenpox-
which the boys always declared re-
suited from the fact that they were
served eggs at every meal!
Perhaps less heroic way to teach
the girls in the family to cook is to
have them help with the meals right
along. To be sure, at first it's more
trouble for mother but doing things
together can be good fun, too. For
instance, here are several meals in
which preparation can be easily
shared:

SUGAR FOR THE BEES
People May Do Without Sugar, But
Bees Wont; They Need it

DSCo F'ohbJ hwy 4NtOu II
Delaware beekeepers will receive
the sugar they need to keep their
bees alive. This fact was made
known in a recent announcement
from A. E. Bowman, chief of the
Sugar Section of the Food Supply
Branch of the War Production
Board. Honeybees need sugar dur
ing periods of the year when nectar
from flowers and blossoms is not
available. In fact, they will eat
nothing else, not even brown sugar
1t must be table sugar dissolved in
water. During the winter when
bees live in their hives in a semi
dormant state, they live on the
honey left in their hives. However
if spring is late, the honey in the
hive is often consumed before
spring blossoms and flowers ap-
pear, so the bees have to be fed
sugar until spring arrives. Amos
says that there are other important
reasons why making sugar avail
able to beekeepers is essential too.

Honey has long been recognized as
a splendid nutritional food and is
growing in Importance as a milk
modifier for baby food. Honey has
also been used in medicines for
many years. Perhaps most import
ant of all, bees are indispensable
for the pollination of fruits, veg
etables and forage crops. The U.
S. Department of Agriculture has
asked for an increased production
of many fruits and vegetables.
Bees are the chief means of secur-
ing the pollination necessary for
the setting and maturity of these
crops.
