WATERMEN TO
TAKE COURSE
Class of instruction Open To
Boat Operators of State

PART OF DEFENSE PLAN

A series of classes of instruction
to qualify fishing and oyster boat
operators of Delaware for petty
officer rating in the naval reserve
or coast guard will open Tuesday
night, January 13, in the Frederick
High School. Fourteen watermen
of the Bowers area attended
meeting Monday night in the fire
hall to arrange for the course. In
structors for the classes, to be held
on Tuesday and Friday nights, will
be supplied through the Whining
ton Power Squadron. 1t was stress
ed the course will be available to
all experienced and capable water
men who wish to qualify for the Of
ficer rating in order to handle aux
iliary craft in inland and coastal

gram. The committee on arrange
ments comprises w. A. Stokesbury,
Jr., Frederick, who presided at the
meeting; Harry Blades, Bowers;
Samuel ]. Fox, Leipsic; William H.
Young, Port Mahon; Thomas Triv-
EFT, Milford, and a member to be
named from Lewes. Those wish
ing to enroll are asked to contact
one of these men. 1t was pointed
out that while watermen are cap
able of handling boats in a certain
area, the instruction will provide
knowledge for operating boats in
unfamiliar waters. Among the
speakers at the meeting were:

"a HOUR DUTY
AT FIRE HALL
Town Defense Control Center
at Fire Hall to Have 2 WO-
men of Daytime Duty
REGISTRATION VITAL

Arrangement for twenty-four
hour duty at the civilian defense
control center in the fire house was
made at a recent meeting of town
council, it was announced. Two
women, whose names have not as
yet been announced, have been en-
ployed by the town to serve five
and one-half hours duty each, from
seven in the morning until six at
night. From six until seven the
next morning, or the night watch,
will be taken by Julian Stats, who
is guarding the town power house.
Extension of the siren alarm wires
from the fire house to the power
house will enable Stats to sound
the air raid alarm during the night,
should emergency demand. A tele-
phone for such emergency calls is
being installed at the power house.
The two women will, aside from be-
ing responsible for air raid signals,
do all the stenographic work con-
nected with tabulating the forms
filled out by civilian defense volun-
teer registration. Complete and
up-to-date files of these records will
be kept.
Small Registration Deplored
For the sake of completing and
tabulating all defense registrants,
Mayor R. F. Corley, local defense
director, has urged that all adults,
REGARDLESS OF ANY OTHER
GROUPS THEY MAY HAVE
REGISTERED WITH, should go to
the fire hall next week, and register
at the control center for general
defense. This is very important
he said in order that the town may
have complete record of volun-
teers. Many persons who signed
up as spoilers did not think it nee
essary to register at the center,
and many others told someone
they were willing to do their part. =
This is not enough, said Mayor
Corley, for all volunteers must be
registered at the control center.

at 7.15 o'clock, to discuss and plan
for the War Fund Drive which is
to start here next week. Roll call
solicitors are particularly urged to
be present at this meeting, Miss
Anna B. Beskett, local chairman,
said, since the Importance of this
drive can not be overestimated. The
quota for Smyrna is S1225.00, and
Miss Beckett said that only whole
hearted cooperation and generosity
on the part of town citizens would
mean success for Smyrna in doing
its part. Necessarily, there will be
a house to house canvass, she said
and urged that everyone be ready
when the solicitor called.

AFRAID ALARM
SIGNAL CHANGE
Army Orders Universal Sig
nal: Warning, Short Blasts;
All Clear, Long Blasts
IN EFFECT IMMEDIATELY

The air raid alarm for Smyrna
has been changed, and a new sig
nal will be put into effect immed-
lately, according to a letter receiv-
ed by Mayor Roy F. Corley, local
civilian defense committee chair
man, from George Ehinger, civil
defense committee chairmen for
the state of Delaware. The letter
stated that from now on until fur
ther notice, there will be only two
signals given in connection with air
raids, instead of the three used
during the practice air raids last
October. The first, or warning sig
nal, will be a series of SHORT
blasts on the fire siren here. The
short blasts will last for a period of
two minutes, will be followed by a
slight pause, then will be repeated
for two or three times. The all
clear signal will be a series of
LONG blasts on the fire siren, last
ing for a period of two minutes
followed by a pause, then repeated
for two or three times.
Ordered By Army
The order for this type of signal
came from the Army headquarters
and will be in effect until further
notice, the letter announced. ut is
hoped that these instructions will
be carried out to the letter, in or
der that uniformity may be had
throughout the various towns of
the State, as we'll as throughout

20 POULTRYMEN
KEEP RECORDS
Cost Accounts and Reports
Sent in Each Month By
Kent Poultry Growers
..s'gssE gssgbaz s14Aalgs

y 6carting with October of this
FAST year, the poultry cost account
. work in Delaware entered upon an
other project year with an increas-
ed number of poultry raisers keep
ing complete records of expenses
and receipts of their entire poultry
business to determine those factors
which influence profit or loss in the
production of eggs for the market.
There are over twenty poultry
farmers in Kent county who are
enrolled in this project which is be-
ing conducted under the direction
of County Agent Russell E. Wilson
in cooperation with H. l.. Richard
son, extension poultryman of the
University of Delaware Agricultur-
al Etension Service, and these CO.
operators are sending in their re-
ports each mouth to the county ex-
tension office. These monthly re-
ports are forwarded to the poultry
specialist, who tabulates these rec
ords and prepares statewide sum-
maries which are mailed to the CO.
operating poultrymen in each coun-
ty by the agricultural agent.
State Wide Summary
The statewide summary for No
vember included so poultry cost ac-
counts representing 26,688 layers,
or an average of 534 layers per
flock. These birds laid on the av-
erage 9.6 eggs each during the
month, and these eggs sold at the
average price of 27 cents a dozen
Practically the same production
was received in October, but the
average price of eggs for that
month was 43 cents per dozen, OF
a difference of 16 cents. AS there
are several important features in
volved in keeping these complete
cost account records, as well as in
teresting and instructive facts con-
tanned in these annual summaries

keepers have been invited to q
