The pri2e boner at this convention was when one of the stooge delegates made a motion that all contestants make it known whether they would re- linquish the position of High Sheriff in favor of Col. Novey should he come back from war duty before their term expired.
 The c. I. o. is definitely against Baldwin and have gone on record to that effect. Bill Fadden was forced to run against Bill Par'e is the thought of a great many Re- publicans regardless of the fact that Bill said he wanted the nom- ination.
 A great many believed that Bills pay off was when he got the nom- ination of High Sheriff for New Haven County for his home towns man. MT Schall who enlightened the New Haven County Young Re- publicans at rally in Waterbury that a drunk who was made a trusty at the County bastile upped and walked away, but forgot to mention the fact that MT. Slavin now High Sheriff has becoml- nationally known because of the good he has done for the youth oi this country and also their parents i through his Firsh Offender Clubs throughout the nation formed prin- cipally through national radio hook ups as a great expense and not to the State of Connecticut or to New Haven County.

 The manager declared, however that an optional system has been set up for those customers who prefer to have their bills compiled each month from actual readings. By reading their own meters on the usual reading day, fillink out and mailing postcards which will t'e provided by the company, these customers may receive actual bills instead of average ones. These cards will be available at com- pany offices on application.
 Estimated savings to the con- pany under the ncw plan will be about $66,000 annually. Of this amount, MT. Jebb pointed out, $59,- 400 will be paid the Federal govern ment in increased taxes under the proposed tax bill already adopted by the House. This leaves only $6,- 900 to help meet increased opera ting costs.

drive to get sufficient oil into the
city to take care of all normal needs.
He explained that this would mean
delivery of Washingtons fuel oil
quota on schedule and that this
phase of the rationing system is
the responsibility of the Petroleum
Administration for War.
After we get oil in the city the
next step will be to get it out to
the people," he said TT is for that
reason that I am so glad to hear
that the OPA has done away with
the IS per cent limit. Now dealers
can make deliveries instead of hav-
ing to run around town looking for
oil"
The attorney said the question OF
properly supplying the District with
oil. according to rationing allot-
ments, will be one Of the matters tc
be brought up at the conference
called by Mr.. Henderson.
Mr.. Camalier conferred severa,
days ago with the price admins
traitor and followed this up yester.
day with general discussion of the
rationing system with some of Mr.
Henderson's assistants. He said
after leaving the latter meeting. that

could be eliminated.

1t was early morning. 1 was
trudging along narrow rough
mountain road as it lead up over
Eagles Crest. The wild growth of
the forest crowded in from both
sides. From the trees which arch
ed overhead, branches protruded
into the roadway as if to dispute
the right of way to the slow plod-
ding teams that occasionally crawl
ed over the rockstrewn road to-
ward the lonely valley which lay
beyond.
Making wy way slowly up this
challenging road, inhaling deeply
the fragrance of the cool morning
atmosphere and catching the joy
notes of the jubilant birds. 1 ha6
almost reached the top of the Cress
where it seemed to break off intc
the sky, when it happened.
Directly in front of me, as though
it had just popped up from out Of
the deep valley beyond there sud
denly appeared the glowing bril-
liant disk of the morning sun, ex
travangantly splitting down the
road upon me floods of golden radi
ancy.
With such a baptism of yellow
splendor there came to me reali

URGE USE OF
DAIRY FOOD
Value of Milk Stressed; Con-
tributes Much to Nutri-
ton and Health
HAS MANY USES

June has been designated as
Dairy Month throughout Delaware
and the nation to emphasize again
to the people of the State and ma
ton the value of milk and other
dairy products. Miss Pearl Mac
Donald, nutritionist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, says that with all the fine
things nature has brought us in
the way of food there is nothing
that can take the place of milk IN
the diet. She points out that re-
search studies in foods show that
milk contributes more to good nu-
trition than any other single food.
Milk contains some of all the food
factors which are needed for good
growth in children and for good
health in both children and adults.
Delaware's dairy industry in addi-
tion to contributing to the nutri-
ton of its people also is important
to the economic welfare of the
State. The child who drinks the
recommended quart of milk a day
is in the safety zone for calcium
that is needed to build strong bones
and teeth and keep them strong
For adults, Miss Macdonald rec.
ommends at least pint a day. In
addition to calcium, milk supplies
the body with other essential min
erals, vitamins and high-quality
proteins. Milk also contains cream
and sugar, both excellent for en-
ergy, says Miss Macdonald. Milk
is valuable in any form and can be
used in many ways. 1t gives a
greater nutritional return per unit
of cost than any other natural
foodstuff. In fact, Miss MacDon-
aid points out that whatever value
one puts upon health is the price
one can afford to pay for milk
Delaware families are urged to in.
clude milk in their diet. For milk
together with an abundant supply
of vegetables, fruits and eggs
gives constant protection. 1t is ar
essential part in an optimum diet
diet that will add not only years
to ones life, but also life to ones
year.

only small rugs and hold them by
the side so that crosswise threads
will not pull apart. Other import
ant ways of prolonging life of rugs,
advises Miss Whitcomb, are to
clean loose rugs on both sides,
place a pad underneath the rugs,
turn rugs every few months to in
sure equal wear, remove spots be-
fore they become set and prevent
furniture from making sharp
marks on the rug.

Dear Sir:
I have been following your col

very fine thing. Often I have
wondered to what outfits the boys
I know belong, and just where
these organizations are located.
One of the Divisions from back

some of my friends are in it. I
had the pleasure of meeting an old
friend of mine from Clayton, who
is in this Division. He is Charles

know, it does one good to meet
someone from back home.

will continue, and I would appre-
ciate hearing from my old friends,
and acquaintance.

CARE OF RUGS
TOLAST LONGER
Seeing That Rugs Are Prop.
erly Cleaned Is Very
Important
TURN RUGS OFTEN

It's not going to be easy to re-
place the rug in the living room
quite as easily nowadays, says Miss
Louise r. Whitcomb, home man.
agement specialist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Her suggestion to home
makers is to give all rugs in the
home the care they deserve to
make them last. The important
thing in caring properly for rugs is
seeing to it that they are properly
cleaned. She points out that it's
dire down in the rug not dirt that
one can see on top that does real
damage. Particles of grit at the
base of the pile cut and grind fibers
until eventually whole tufts become
loose and work out. Those home
makers who use vacuum cleaner
says Miss JWhitcomb, should bt
sure to pick up any metal object:
on the rug like pins or tacks ant
any bits of thread or paper, befor,
using the vacuum. Having tn,
nozzle of the cleaner at the propel
height from the rug makes for tn;
bet cleaning job too. A clea,
vacuum bag allows for much NOR,
pull SO it should be emptied Otter
and dirt brushed from the fabric O
the bag. If homemaker depends
upon broom to keep her rug
clean, the straws should be sof
and phable. Beating and Shaking
are rougher methods of removing
dirt and unless done carefully ma,
