"A All Home-A All Garden" is

to have their own victory garden or

Younger farm youth are especially
urged to help with gardening this

jobs on the farm. To assist club
members to have as complete a

the Wilmington Monarch Club has

The care and repair of present

Home Demonstration Clubs. Every
homemaker realizes that with pri-
critics and curtailed production,
their present equipment must be
made to last as long as possible. In
the Homemaker's Club meetings,
women are learning valuable in

addition they are learning to do
many minor repairs without hav-
ing to wait for a repair man. The
home management leaders of the
Kent County Clubs are in charge of
the April meetings. As part of
the program they are demonstrated
the proper method of gluing chairs;
changing window shades; mending

HORSE N BUGGY
DAYS RETURN
Tire Shortage May Bring
Farmers Buggies Back
on the Highways
TO HELP VICTORY

Farmers who think they can get
tires for their cars and trucks just
because they are included in the
present rationing set-up may be
due for a let-down," DIT. K. Wolfe
of Southern States Cooperative
commented yesterday. He contin-
ued by pointing out that the rubber
situation in the country is so tough
that mighty few tires are going to
be available even for those right at
the top of the rationing list. Maybe
the horse and buggy days we
hear so much about will return
sooner than we anticipated, and
maybe it will be good thing.
When this country was developing
into the greatest nation on earth,
horses, buggies, oxen, and wagons
were the chief means of transporta-
tion-remember the covered wag-
on. The rich West was opened by
people who rode toward the setting
sun, not by motor-driven vehicles
but by the power of horses and
oxen. These people who rode at
the leisurely pace set by their
beasts of burden had time to think
and mediate on the past and pres
ent, and time to dream of and plan
for the future of the Golden West,
a West which must surely have de-
veloped beyond their most elabor-
ate dreams. Who knows what
further advancement this country
might make if it once more had
time to think? We presume that
horses used to do some thinking
when they had the bit their teeth,
because the accident list was then
quite short as compared with what
it has been since transportation has
become motorized. We talk a lot
about ''horse sense;" and we GER
tainly never needed horse sense
more than we do today. We see in
the news that shipment of buggy
whips has just been delivered in
New Richlands, Mimi, the first sent
there in 20 years. Evidently farm

EGG STORAGE
FOR SUMMER
POultrymen Urged to Use Egg
Cellar For Storage Pur-
pose This Summer
NEED COOL, MOIST PLACE

Poultrymen in Delaware who are
producing eggs for the fresh mar
ket and for Delaware hatcheries
are producing eggs for the fresh
market and for Delaware hatcher
les are reminded that hot summer
days will soon be here. They are
reminded, too, that the egg cellar
for storing eggs is the answer to
the problem of maintaining egg
quality during the summer. This
advice is contained in the fifth of
the series of poultry information
letters being distributed by the
county agricultural agents. 1t is
another of the timely letters pre-
pared by H. L. Richardson, poultry
specialist for the University of
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, who points out that you
can't improve the quality of an egg
but you can maintain its quality by
proper handling.
Maintains Quality
Whether poultrymen are produc-
ing Matching eggs or eggs for the
fresh market, he says the job of
maintaining the quality is essen
tally the same. To maintain this
quality poultrymen are advised to
collect eggs often and to store
them in a cool and relatively moist
place. Further information on the
production of quality eggs is con-
tained in Extension Bulletin No. 81,
entitled producing and Marketing
of Good Eggs" Delaware poultry
men may secure a copy of this bull
letin by contracting their county ag-
ricultural agent, Russell E. Wilson,
Dover, or by sending their request
to the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, University of Delaware, New
ark.

Make Diory Writing
A Pleasant Habit

VOU don't have to be writer
i to keep diary. You don't
have to be philosopher. All you
need is lively curiosity in what
goes on around you and the urge
to record what you think about it.
Diary writing is fun, says Ruth
Fay in the January Good House
keeping magazine, but the trouble
with most diary keepers is that they
don't know it. Don't, Miss Fay ad-
vises, write down dry little records
of the weather and appointments
when you can have fine time MAX
ing bold predictions about your best
friends romance or listing your
husbands ten most irritating traits.
But if you want to have fun keep
ing diary, you must have the right
materials, Miss Fay AYERS. Get a
fairly large book with really blank
pages. Use ink, not pencil, to elimi-
nate smudge. And if your remarks
are going to be intimate, you better
get one with a lock.
What to write about? Anything
that enters your mind. Gossip, witty
remarks you've heard, even head
lines, or poem you fancy. When
to write? Any spare half hour. 1t
doesn't have to be day-to-day af-
fair, because often that can become
a bore.
It isn't always easy at first. But
you grow more articulate as you go
along. Your perspective improves
too; things you thought were ter
ribly important lose some of their
significance, and vice versa. You
learn to understand yourself, and in
the process you learn an amazing
amount about other rnople.

Pluck and Goodness Save Man
With Back Broken in Car Crash

WHILE late home-bound cars
w roared by on a curve dozen
feet above his head, Roland Will
son, of Littlefeld, Texas, lay in
the darkness beside his wrecked
automobile at the foot of the en-
bankment over which the car had
plunged.
Unseen by the motorists who
raced along the highway above,
Wilson could not make them hear
his occasional shouts for help. His
legs were paralyzed and he could
scarcely move his body because
of pain. He did not know that
his back and five ribs were brok-
en-.
For four consecutive nights he
had been driving along that road.
His baby had been sick, so after
work he had gone each night from
his job at Clovis to his home in
Littlefield, returning in the small
hours. Due to lack of sleep he
had dozed for a moment at the
wheel, plunging off the road at the
curve above him.
AS he lay beside the wreck of
his car he realized that he would
have to get help very soon. In
addition to his injuries he was
suffering from the cold. He might
freeze to death before anyone
found him.
He still had the use of his arms,
and he began pulling himself to-
ward the car. He dragged himself
close, reached in through the
smashed door, and got his fash
light out of the glove compart-
ment.
