Nary Relief Bali
viii Be Held In
Milford Tuesday
Walter ViOhl's Famous
Orchestra H as Been
Engaged To Furnish
Music For Gala Lower
Delaware Affair.

In these days of thin rubber and
scarce gasoline it takes more than
a Come on, gang, let's go!" to get
the gang to go.
1t takes something like the Navy
Relief Fund Ball, the big spring
dance of lower Delaware and near
by Maryland, to get people rolling
these days. People are going to
figure 1t out something like this:
Well" they'll say, "our tires are
thin (maybe), but gasoline is going
to get thin too. Suppose we can get
SO little gas. month after month,
year after year, that our tires will
rot before they wear out? Then, by
heck, we'd be sorry that we didn't
go to the Navy Relief Ball in the
community building, Milford. on
Tuesday night, May 81"
Or maybe you are figuring it
some other way. Maybe You are
going because you know the Navy
Relief Society is a fine old organi-
cation, headed by Admiral Stark,
devoted to relieving seamen of the
Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast
Guard of all worries that kindness
and friendly services, gifts, loans
and other boons, can help to elimi-
nate. To contribute to the Navy
Fund or to go to this Navy dance is
an act of pure patriotism.
And don't feel bad about it if the
main reason you are going is that
you want to have fun. Walter
Viohl's orchestra is plenty good, the
decorations will be plenty nautical,
and you will feel plenty peart (as
we say in Sussex. It's a smart
idea to have some real fun once in
a while, especially when our work
and our own worries require at
tention most of the time. Sure come |
along just to have fun. That's a
good enough reason. You won't
be disappointed.

Mrs. Susan Murray was burned
about one leg, arms and hands

Warden Webb Expects
Big Fishing Increase
Predicts Great Activity Due To The
Shortage OF Tires

A vast increase in lake fishing in
Delaware is foreseen by Chief Game
Warden E. Sherman Webb, who ex-
poets many anglers to take shorter
trips because of the rubber short
age and gasoline restrictions.
Practically all of the so lakes of
the state have been restocked with
bass, Mr.. Webb said, and will offer
the anglers worthwhile sport.
Restrictions which have been, or
may be, placed ON ocean fishing, al
SO will have part in sending many
fishermen to the lakes, although he
expressed belief that, unless re-
strictions are placed, bay fishing
will hold its own.

JUST as important as having
every item of the baby's layette
on hand when he arrives is hav-
ing every item scrupulously
clean. For sake of his protec-
ton, his entire wardrobe should
be carefully washed and ironed
before initial use, whether pur-
chased brand new from the store
or handmade. Wash garments
with very mild lukewarm
suds; boil diapers, rinse repeat
edly until no trace of soap re-
mains. Crib and carriage ac-
cessories as well as baby's ex-
elusive towels and wash cloths
come under this rule, also. Abb
