ed from the War Production Board,

similar period must come before

The question as to whether or
not the Town of Smyrna has been
included in the new dimout regula-
lions, issued by the Commanding
Officer of the Second Corp Area
under the date of June list, still re-
mains an open question. Prior to
the issuance of the recent regula-
ton, which naturally would super
sede all those issued at an earlier
date, the Town of Smyrna was
definitely placed out of the dim out
area. The new order referred to,
however, clearly states that both
Kent and Sussex Counties in the
state of Delaware, are listed as be-
ing in the zones where reduced
will be enforced. In a re-
cent interview with Kent and Sus-
sex County Coordinator John Le-
Fevre, his reply to the subject was

DECIDE TO HOLD

time Restrictions
USE VICTORY PROGRAM

Decision to hold the twenty-third
annual Kent-Sussex Fair in Har-
rington, from July q to August 1,
was made this week at a meeting
of the fair organizations board of
directors, after a unanimous vote
of the SO board members present
upheld the opinion that sit would
be unpatriotic to close down." War
time restrictions will be completely
observed, Ernest A. Raughley, Sec
rotary, said, and even these limita-
lions would bring but little change
to the regular schedule of events.
Dimout To Hit 'ShOwiness'
Compliance with the coastal re-
gion dimout regulations would
eliminate only that lighting which
in the past has been used only for
additional "showiness." Shielding
the remainder of the lighting sys-
tenn to comply with regulations will
be very easy, Mr.. Raughley pointed
out. Fireworks will not be offered
as part of the fair program this
year of course, Mr.. Raughley said.
Beyond these limitations, he added,
the fair program is similar to for
mer years.
Regular Days To Prevail
Lucky Teter will be the fea-
ture attraction of the opening day,
Monday, July 81. Horse racing
and auto racing will be included,
with the fairs regular "Children's
Day" scheduled for Tuesday, and
Governors Day. program for
Thursday The auto races will be
held on Saturday, closing day of
the fair. The fairs theme will be
reflected in its Victory Program,
Mr.. Raughley said. The directors
expressed the belief that continual
tion of the fair would serve civilian
morale.

About STATE
RUBBER DRIVE
Program to Salvage Rubber
Begins in Delaware
For Duration
LIST OF ARTICLES

An about program to salvage
rubber-the scarcest of all stra-
tegic materials-will be started
this week to reach into every Del
aware home, by the State Salvage
for Victory Committee. AS more
complete figures on the need for
rubber salvage are received and
compiled by the Bureau of Indus
trial Conversion of the War Pro-
duction Board, officials stress the
following facts: More than three
pounds of rubber scrap must be
collected and contributed this year
by every man, woman, and child in
the nation to produce the neces-
sary 319,622 long tons of reclaimed
rubber. Every item from erasures
in the tips of penny pencils, rub
Der heels, jar rings, hot-water bot
ties, and useless auto tires, are
urgently required by the rubber
retaining plants to build machines
of war for the United Nations.
Every One Has Part
The AZ salvage committees in
Delaware are now preparing to in
augurate a continuous rubber scrap
savings program, in which every
household in the state has definite
part. This will not be a one-week,
or one-month project only-but a
continuous salvage job," Mrs. Hen
ry T. Bush, assistant director of the
Delaware Salvage for Victory COM
mittee, pointed out. AS the rub
Der salvage program opens turnout
the nation, citizens are warned by
the Bureau of Industrial Conversion
lit isn't going to be an easy task"
In most cases, it was pointed out,
there are no facilities or even plans
to make a house-to-house collection
tour. The rubber salvage effort
does not stop with the homeoWner
simply placing a box of rubber ar
ticles on the curb for the pickup
truck.
Get All junk Rubber
There isn't any great money
making incentive for junk collec-
tors-and many of these are by
now engaged in war work, the COM
mittee pointed out. With the sug-
gestion that the program be called
patriotic salvage" the Salvage for
Victory Committee stressed the
main purpose is ito get all the dis
carded and junk rubber back to re-
claiming factories as soon as posi-
sible and in any way possible. e"
Methods by which homeowners can
dispose of their collections will be
arranged by the state committees
soon, but they adolf you don't
mind doing things the hard way,
salvage offers chance to help the
war effort"
Importance Stressed
The importance of reclaimed rub
Der in the war industrial program
cannot be over-emphasized, the
committee declared. There are hun
dreds of places where this rubber
can be used in planes, guns and
tanks to substitute for new rubber.
the remaining stock piles
Of crude rubber left to the United
States can be saved, it must be,
experts point out.
List of Articles
Among the many discarded rub
Der articles about homes which the
committee lists for the salvage eff
fort are: Rubber heels and soles,
boots and shoes, overshoes, tennis
shoes, hot water bottles, rubber
gloves, raincoats, bathing caps and
shoes, auto and truck tires and
tubes, garden hose, stair treads,
mating, jar rings, baby car
rage tires, fly swatters, rubber
stamps free of wood.
