BOARDING AIDS
NO INDIVIDUAL
Smyrna Civilian De f e n S e
Council Urges Programs
on Price Control
ASK HELP IN RATIONING

The Smyrna Civilian Defense
Council has announced that this
group and the many trained work.
ers in the Smyrna area, can help
the cause of Victory by conducting
educational programs on the part
that price control and rationing
play in the war effort. They can
serve their country by helping
drive home the fact that boarding
does the individual no good and
helps the enemy"
Cooperation Needed
Citizens should be encouraged
to cooperate in the Civilian Defense
programs complementary to ra-
tioning, such as saving rubber
through car pooling, walking to
work, household salvage, conserva-
ton of paper, and carrying more
bundles. Americans must be will
ing to sacrifice and periodically
play the game to insure victory.
Perhaps, if the residents of Smyr-
ma were to realize more fully how
much these seemingly unimportant
projects actually aided National
Defense, and the entire war effort,
they would be quite willing to CO.
operate more thoroughly towards
reaching the goal desired.
Tie Up Facilities
Every article you buy which
you do not need means fewer guns,
tanks, and airplanes for Americas
fighting forces. 1t takes men, ma
chimes, and materials to produce
those necessary goods. 1t takes
trains and trucks to bring them to
the store where you buy. If you
buy to hoard, you tie up these vital
facilities, desperately needed now
to produce and transport weapons
of war. You help Hitler" declares
the local Council.
Price Control
price control, of course, dis
courages boarding. Hoarders of
scarce goods often are motivated
by the desire to cash in by specula-
ton The overall price ceiling
prevents profiteering by those who
have stored goods with the expec-
tation of realizing tremendous
profits when they become scarce
1t protects the wage Garner, the
farmer, the person with fixed in
come who would suffer and be
thrown into bankruptcy if prices
were permitted to get out of con-
troll and imitation develope."

BERRY SALES
SET RECORD
Turnover for Six Days at AUG

FARMER GETTING MORE

With strawberry sales for SIX
days amounting to 1898 crates
yielding SAG the Laurel auction
block, operated by the Southern
Delaware Produce Growers Asso-
citation, a cooperative, closed its
biggest strawberry week in the his
tory of the market. Each crate of
"a quarts brought, on an average,
1921. This exceeded the previous
record week, not only in quantity
and total sales, but also in general
average, the week before bringing
but $2.98 which was considered an
unusually high average.
Hauling Rather Light
Hauling was rather light, how
ever, only 5000 crates being sent
out by truck from this date and ap-
proximately 10000 crates from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Sus-
sex County for the season has sent
Oul lWO CdllOlo WihC lhC GoobSii
Shore of Maryland has shipped by
rail four cars. Most of the fruit
has been sent out by truck to the
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Balti-
more, New York, Washington and
Boston markets. The record of the
past week also established in a
week that included holiday, the
sales on Friday being almost neg
ligible, due to Memorial Day on
Saturday.
Had Ideal Weather
Farmers of this area have been
unusually fortunate in having ideal
weather conditions for the straw
berry crop, whereas the berries in
other sections have suffered in one
way or another. Monday of the
past week was the peak day, with
total sales equalling nearly $4,000
Shipments this week are not ex-
lpected to come near those of last
week. Many farmers in this Sec
ton have made more money from
Strawberries this season than they
have ever made from this crop be-
fore.

COST OF AMERICANISM
The Rev. S. j. Thaclxaberry Says
No Hand Should Be Idle


In Memorial Day service here,
the Rev. S. ]. Thackaberry, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church,
talked on"WhatDoes it Cost to Be
an American" Whether we can
keep the title, American" depends
on how we answer that question.
He told of the men at Valley Forge
and Gettysburg, who counted the
cost and did not find it too dear.
They knew what it meant and will
ingly paid the price.
The Axis Viewpoint
Mr.. Thackaberry reminded his
hearers that the Axis powers have
said: you Americans like luxuries
too we'll, and we are confident you
will not give them up to beat us. y
He drew a picture of self-seeking
citizens trying to get gas as against
a seaman going down on a tor
pedoed vessel, and declared we
should be willing to put away
everything, not only luxuries, but
car, house, clothes, shoes" to pay
the price willingly No hand should
be idle" he said. There is work
for everyone, many are giving of
their time, many are withholding. y
He reminded them that even
though men die on foreign soil
wherever a sailor has gone down
or soldier has fallen, it was
America"
