SERVICEMEN GET
 CHANCE TO VOTE
Only Small Number Apply to Service Bureau for
 Ballots to Date

The recently created Voters Ser vice Bureau of the Democratic Town Committee today offered aid and assistance in enrolment of the city'S absentee vote for the coming election. With several thousand local men in the service only a small number have made application to date for absentee ballots.
 With headquarters established in the rooms of the Democratic Town Committee, 79 North Main street, and an office staff on duty from 10 to 12, morning; 3-to 5, afternoons, an excellent opportunity is provided local families with men in the ser vice to see htat they are given the chance to vote in the November election.
 In view of war conditions few ef- forts have been made to accommodate the thousands of eligible voters among our armed forces who are on duty in foreign sectors. But there are many more thousands at camps and centers in this country who can vote.
 Applications for absentee ballots will be provided by the Voters Ser vice Bureau for any and all service men. Persons requesting that the same be forwarded should indicate the name, military address, and last-known voting address of the servicemen. These applications when filled out are returned to the office of Town Clerk who in turn forwards the applicants ab- Sentee ballot.
 The Democratic Voters Service Bureau also is continuing its work of having new voters made this week, during the period the Board of Selectmen and Town Clerk are in session in the City Hall. Inform ation and accommodations are pro- vided for all who seek it. Anyone desiring the same may pI.one 4-1761.

 He said he had up to a dozen things to talk about and might might touch on all. White House press secretary, Stephen T. Early has list of from 30 to 40 suggestions from many people, including mem- bers of the public and some news paper editors, he said.
 He did not believe it would be a war survey as there was no news in that type of speech material.

KENT SUSSEX FAIR
WILL BE HELD IN JULY

At a meeting of the directors of
the Kent Sussex Fair, last Monday
night, there was a unanimous vote
Of the 80 board members present to
hold the twenty-third annual Fair at
Harrington from July 27 to August
l. 1t was the opinion of the board
that to close the institution 'would
be unpatriotic" Wartime restric-
tions will be completely observed, but
even these limitations it is said, would
bring but little change to the regular
schedule of events. Compliance with
the coastal region dimout regulations
would eliminate only that lighting
which in the past has been used for
additional "showiness." Shielding the
remainder of the lighting system to-
comply with regulations will be easy.
Fireworks will mt be part of the
program. Lucky" Teter will be the
feature on opeTing day. Horse rae
ing through the week and auto rae
ing will be held on Saturday. There
will be the usual children's day on
Tuesday and Governors Day Thurs
day. Victory" will be the theme of
the Fair this year.

FULL ACCOUNT OF THE
CRASHED AIR PLANE

Two Army filters were slightly in
jured and a third was unhurt when
they were forced to parachute from
a disabled Army plane which crashed
between Shovel and st. Martin, Md
The first news of the wrecked plane
being in trouble was when John
Feichit landed via parachute on the
farm of John Steele near Stockley. He
was uninjured and according to Harry
Pack who was there when he landed
the flyer asked to be taken to a
phone so that he could report the ac-
cident to his headquarters. He was
taken to the CCC camp just outside of
Georgetown, Del, by Mr.. Pack.
S. Simon, clerk in the Sussex
County Prison Farm reported that
the rumored flaming gas tank, which
was reported dropped in a woods near
the prison farm, turned out to be
only an emergency canvas gas con-
tanner, and that it was not in flames.
Jack Ennis of Berlin, Md, who was
in Shovel when the plane crashed
nearby. stated that he heard the
plane overhead and looked up The
first he knew of it being in trouble
was when he noticed pieces of the
tail assembly flying off into space.
Ennis reported that he saw the plane
bank up On one wing, and start into
a gentle spiral. 1t was then righted,
only to bank up on one wing again,
at which time he saw the two re-
naming flyers bail" out from the
high side. He said they looked about
the size of a quart milk bottle, and
Judged the plane to be two and three
thousand feet in the air at that time.
Following the battling" out of the
flyers, Enni reported that the plane
started to fall in a lazy spiral mo-
ton, and suddenly straighten out with
the motors roaring as though they
were wide open. AS the plane start
ed to climb the motors evidently
killed, according to Ennis and the

ing for Indian freedom for 40 years, and English promises of freedom long overdue In 1917, India promised by Montague. then Secretary of State for India, progressive realization of responsible government in India After contributing 1500000 men to the Allies, ie. contributing than all the British Dominions combined, to the last World War, India rewarded with the Amristar Massacre in 1919 in which, according the English version, about 450 killed and twice that number wound ed and according to the Nationalist version twice that number killed and wounded Now, I mention this only because it helps to understand why In dians seem both impatient and ncredulous of English promises
 Tn 1888 Ramsay Macdonald told the Labor Conference in these words: T hope that within period of months rather than years there will be new dominion I refer to India What became of those promises that are 20 years old?

Pass the Coffee, Please!

Cincinnati Enquirer Will you have your tablespoon of coffee now or with your dessert?"
 The polite hostess after midnight November 28 may ask that of her guests And before she even can go that far, she'll have to invite each diner to fetch along his ration card
 On the basis of the pound per each fivew week basis, the average American this winter will receive enough coffee to brew about cup each day for him. self and members of the family the age of Is. That will be plenty for the coffeefor breakfast only thinker; but for the consumer who has been in the habit of taking two or more cups with each meal, the reduction will be drastic. And that consumer, remember is the fellow who will miss it most
 There are hundreds of thousands of Americans who drink coffee not at all. To them the rationng system offers only invitation to purchase pro- duct which suddenly has become and for that reason precious Some of them, of course will be glad to share their wealth with friends or neighbors to whom the drink is important part of the daily diet
 The coffee rationing plan seems to have been badly handled In the first place, it unfortunate that the talk of coffee shortage was stressed as it The discussions led to much hoarding which cut down the supply available to the average con- sumer It unfortunate, too, that rationng of the product wasn't started just as it became apparent that actual shortage was imminent
 The ration of cup per day will cut the na- tional consumption of coffee only about 20 percent per year, according to Leon Henderson. Prior to 1941, MT. Hendersons office says, the average per capita consumption of the beverage was about 1a pounds per person per year. The ration will cut this to estimated 105 pounds per person pei year.
 On that basis, the reduction is not drastic one But when individual cases are considered it must bt admitted that the ratoning plan will work consd- erabe hardship some people, and no hardship al all on others This, it to us, is the essentia weakness of the program

WHAT ABOUT INDIA?

Lin Yutang, one of the very few Chinese writers who have been successful in translating the lives and thoughts of Chinese into English which has given Americans a better understanding of mil lions of Allies in China recently spoke out on India
 We believe that his words worth reprinting
 Unfortunately, the issue of India is not the issue of India alone It is the issue of aims. It does not matter whether England is fighting for the liberation of countries subjected by Hitler only, or also for the liberation of countries subjected by herself What matters is how it affects the fighting morale of billion Asatics and others who are looking If it only appears to the Asiatics and the South Americans and the people of countries subjected by the Axis that fighting for em- trophe of the first magnitude At least, aver age Asatic, know that totally unnterested in fighting for empire I know that probably eighty percent of the Americans and hundred percent of American soldiers would lose their enthusiasm for the war if they should have reason to suspect that we fighting for empire. The effect is not merely the shooting of few hundred Hndus the effect is worse than the sinking of hundred war ships and loss of all the airplane carriers of the Allies because it takes the heart of the fight of most of allies.
 And yet say, India is of no importance to us This attitude is not only stupid it is positively dangerous The 390,000000 Hndus have lost faith iii England but they still have faith in America as the only western democracy in which they still have some faith left When that faith is lost, I do not know what will happen to the future of Asia

about 100000 men, some 60,0OO to 80,000 would be sent back to the colleges to get more training to become officers.
 Now, however, it is being urged that instead of keeping this small group of 60-80,000 men in the col leges the entire 1,500,000 be given a tough military, semi-educational training, using the physical equip ment of the colleges and perhaps some of the high schools.
 At present the colleges and uni versailles face serious crisis. The 20, 21 and 22-year-old men have left, and now without the Is and l9-year- -olds the colleges will be all most empty, except. for women.
 Therefore, it has been proposed that the colleges be used in the same manner the Air Corps is us- ing hotels in Miami, Chicago and OlIltI Clblco.

The fewer men re- quired for housekeeping, the more effective an army is. That is why the physical equipment of the col- leges. now partially unused, could effect such a great saving.
 One plan would be to make each college virtually short-term West Point, in which the 18-19 year olds would get a thorough military training, plus as much academic training as possible. This would mean not only improving this age group for actual combat, but also preparing the next generation for better leadership after the war.
