"There goes the curse Of the army"
said Lieutenant General Sonervell
as thousands of rubber stamps were
tossed into a collection of old rub

somebody missed bet when they
failed to emphasize rubber stamps
in the rubber drive. Rubber stamps
are not only the curse Of the army,
they are the curse of the country.
How about last minute appeal to
America to throw its rubber stamps
into the war on the Axis? Nothing
could be better spared.

TREER CARSON claims that
~ Loretta Toomey is the good
luck stand-in of Hollywood. Miss
Toomey was stand-in for Sonia
Henie, Ellen Drew and Joan
Davis before going to Metro to
be stand-in for Hedy Lamar
and Ruth Hussey. All of them
did all right, you'll remember.
Three years ago she became Miss
Garson's stand-in-and how that
young woman has forged ahead!
Now Miss Carson has lent her for
second time (the first was when
Theresa Wright got her for some
scenes in ''Mrs. Miniver") to Susan
Peters, for scenes when Miss Gar
son doesn't need her in Random
Harvest; they're rivals for Ronald
Colman's affections, in the picture,
but never meet.
Incidentally, some exhibitors
thought so highly of "Mrs. Miniver"
that they advocated showing it at
advanced prices. But the sugges-
tioniwas turned down, on the theory
that this swell picture really belongs
to the people, and that the greatest
number should see it in the short

NEW RED CROSS HEAD
r. r. nj. Carpenter Elected Chair
man to Fill VACANCY

R. r. M. Carpenter of Mont
chanin was elected chairman of the
Delaware Red Cross by its board of
directors, succeeding Lammot du-
Pont, Jr., who resigned recently
when he was commissioned a lieu
tenant, junior grade, in the Navy.
Mr.. Carpenter takes over the reins

when it is in full wartime swing
and experiencing the greatest ex-
pansion in its history, with thou
sands of volunteer workers on the
active list. The resignation of
Lieutenant DUPONT, presented to
the board of directors, was accept
ed with regret. At the recent an
nual melting of the chapter Mr..
Carpenter had been elected vice
chairman. That vacancy is now
filled by Henry T. Claus. The di-
rectors also elected Alfred E. Bis
sell, treasurer, and H. B. Robert
son, secretary. Miss Emily P. Bis
sell continues as honorary chairman
of the chapter and Arthur M. Pot
ter as executive secretary. In ad-
dition to his services as chairman
of the Delaware Red Cross, Mr..
Carpenter is also serving on the
State Council of Defense and also
on the Wilmington Defense Cabi-
net.

SCHOOL HEADS
TO MEET SEPT. 4
Greatest Problem is Getting
Men Teachers; Women Will
Have to "Take Over"
MAY DROP SOME COURSES

Delaware school superintendent
and principals will meet in Dover
Sept. 4, to solve one of the most
serious problems: Lack of men
school teachers. The chief difficult
ty is getting men as physical edu-
cation instructors, manual training,
mathematics and science teachers.
The states secondary schools, DR..
John Shilling, assistant superin-
tendent of public instruction, re-
ports, are short about IL physical
education teachers, four or five
manual training teachers and about
the same number of mathematics
science instructors.
Women May "Take Over"
Women teachers trained in art
and women physical education
teachers will have to be placed in
charge of manual arts shops and
all physical training classes of a
school wherever it is felt advisable,
DR.. Shilling explained. The short
age of manual arts instructors, he
pointed out, is due principally to
men trained in this work taking tine
more Lucrative positions in wal
industries, while physical education
teachers avail themselves of the OPP
portunity for commissions in the
Army.
May Drop Some Courses
1t is the consensus that some
courses may be discontinued next
school year because of the teacher
shortage. In some schools, it was
stated, inter-scholastic sports may
be abandoned entirely because Of
the shortage of coaches and the
lack of transportation facilities
DIR. Shilling has asked each prin.
cipa and superintendent to be ready
to respond to the question: What
will I do differently this fall to i'm.

of the need of the boys and girls

Slight difference will appear in
the number of registered voters in
Kent County when complete re-
turns from the first general regis
tration day of last week are turned
in, Warren T. Moore, secretary of
the Kent County Boards of Elec-
ton and Registration, anticipated
yesterday. On the basis of COM
pleted books received from the reg
istration officers, the number of
new voters registered will be about
balanced by the number of names
of deceased persons stricken from
the books and the number of trans
fers. Until the registration day,
there were 1924 voters on the
books, Moore said. In one district
last week, IL new names We're put
