Everybody Helps

There is one way to win this war
and that is for everybody to pitch
IN and help. Most Americans know
this, as has been demonstrated by
many fine examples of this method
of going about things in our local
communities and in the nation since
Pearl Harbor. Each cooperative
effort brings victory few steps
nearer.
A good example is offered in Cen
eral Motors. The Corporation has
just reported on the first two
months results of its produce
more for victory suggestion plan.
More than $4,000 suggestions were
submitted by GIN workers in those
two months and thousands more
are pouring in-all designed to
simplify and speed the production
of things that will beat the Axis.
Some of the suggestions are excel
lent, representing careful study
and thought. Others are not cap
able of adoption, but you can bet
that coming from workers who
know their jobs and are bent on
helping to win the war, a good
number of the suggestions have
real value.
Of what value are these sugges-
tions to the workers, aside from the
satisfaction of making a contribu-
ton to the united effort? That is
the other side of the cooperative
picture-management. General Mo-
tors, besides instituting the plan
and putting the suggestions into
practical use, has awarded a total
of more than $4,000 in war bonds
to men and women workers in So
plants for 1,155 worth while sug-
gestions in two months, while 120
additional suggestions have been
approved for awards. Two workers
received $1,000 awards, the high
est. Another has received four sep
arate awards totaling S400. Where
possible the award is figured as a
percentage of the actual saving in
volved over a stated period of time.
There is one other happy aspect
of cooperation in the plan. All the
awards are made in the form of
war bonds. Thus, the war effort is
helped further. Needed cash goes
into the Treasury and at the same
time the specter of imitation is CIV
eli no Encouragement.

CONTINUED rrom slrss rags,

Returns from 9095 of the states
1927 districts gave Dewey 2,063,-
322; Bennett, 1,4S4,S86, and Dean
Alfange, American Labor Party
candidate, 399,79S.
It was the first time since Nathan
L. Miller beat AL Smith for a two
year term as governor in 1920 that
the Democrats had been ousted
from leadership in Albany and the
defeat was even more bitter in the
face of Dewey's humping plurality
Plans To Serve Years
Dewey said during the campaign
that he would serve four years as
governor if elected.
When he issued his statement at
Republican campaign headquarters
in the Hotel Roosevelt interpreting
his victory as a declaration that
the people want to put every
ounce of our energies and of our
resources wholly into the national
war effort" reporters asked him if
he thought he would make a good
governor.
"I1l have to let the people judge
that after four years." he said.
-Four years" someone asked.
"That's what 1 said," Dewey re-
piled emphatically.
With all of New York City's dis
tricts reporting, Lieut-Gov. Charles
Poletti, the Democratic incumbent,
went ahead of Republican Thomas
W. Wallace by a scant $4,000 votes,
but the 431 districts in the state
still not reported were in the nor
mally Republican upstate region.
Other Republicans Win
Other Republican candidates on
the state ticket-for attorney-gen-
eral and state comptroller-appear-
ed to have been swept into office
with Dewey.
In the traditionally Republican
upstate counties-where Republi-
can candidates normally must draw
support sufficient to offset the
usual Democratic pluralities of
New York City-Dewey polled more
than $4,000 votes over those for
his opponent and he lost New York
City by only about $4,000.
The American Labor Party vote
was less than 100000 and even had
the party followed its previous
policy of endorsing the Democratic
it could not have swung
the election to Bennett.
One of Dewey's first actions after
victory was to issue a statement
calling upon Americans to redouble
the nations efforts for total, un-
compromising, crushing i victory
over our country's enemies.

discussed the migratory labor camp
in Delaware.
Discussion Is Held
A round table discussion was
conducted with John P. Benson,
farm placement supervisor, as
chairman.
A survey made by the extension
service of the University of Della
ware revealed that in New Castle
county 21 per cent of the farms
had lost labor to industry and sew
en- per cent had lost workers in the
draft.
A high percentage of Delaware
farmers, including truckers, employ
labor at some time during the year,
Alex D. Cobb, extension leader in
agricultural planning, said. He
stated that farmers estimated, they
would need about 1900 employed
for the full year, and about an
equal number of local and migra-
tory workers to be employed sea-
sonally.

they have been improperly taught,

think Of obedience as gate in

to tear it down.
In a totalitarian state unques-
tioning obedience is demanded. If
boys and girls in a democracy are
required to obey in totalitarian
manner how can we expect them
to know how to think for them
selves later on? How will they be
prepared to use the privilege of
free speech wisely OF. to assert their
independence in matters that do
not involve infringement of our
statutes but conform always to both
the spirit and the letter of the law?
Nevertheless, obedience on the
part of the child is very necessary
for his own protection and for the
protection of all with whom he
comes in contact. The proper idea
of obedience is best introduced and
understood in infancy and early
childhood through regularity. III
child's physical needs are cared for
with rhythmic regularity a feeling
of security develops much like that
experienced by an adult coming in
to a country wisely governed from
one where lawlessness reigns.
Don't give a very young child
chance to disobey. He can't disobey
if you make no demands upon him.
The fact that he knows what you
require of him is not sufficient rea-
son for furnishing him for not com
plying. Keep articles you don't
want him to touch out of his reach.
Remove him from the scene if he is
unkind or annoying. This is i'm

tinue to annoy-remove either the
child or the cause of his misbe-
havior.

standing and need arises, make one

ENTIRE STATE TREATED TO
CONTROL JAPANESE BEETLE

Over two tons of ammunition
have been used in the battle in
Delaware against the Japanese
beetle menace-ammuniti in the
form of dust containing spores of
the milky white disease of Japanese
beetle grubs-reveals Paul l.. Rice,
acting head of the department of
entomology at the University of
Delaware.
In cooperation with the State
Boar dof Agriculture and the Bu-
reau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, fieldmen of the ento-
mology department have practically
completed the placing of this dust
in sod lands and in lawns through
out the state. During the summer
of 1941, milky white dust was dis
tributed in New Castle county and
in Kent county in two one-half acre
plots per square mile. In each of
these one-half acre plots 225 spots
of dust were deposited.
This past summer the work was
continued to include Sussex coun-
ty. In Sussex county, two one-half
plots per square mile have also
been treated. To make doubly sure
that the beetles will be dealt real
blow two more one-half acre plots
have been treated in Kent county
and in New Castle county, in those
areas where the beetle infestation
has been found the heaviest.
The spores of this disease-num-
bering two million for each gram
of dust-will gradually be spread
by the wind, rain, cultivation and
animals to surrounding areas.
There are some few areas in
the state where grubs have been
found already infected with the dis
ease. Those naturally infected
areas together with the treated
areas in all sections of the state
mean that now the Japanese beetles
will not have things too much their
own way" states Rice.
This program of beetle control
will not mean, however" cautions
Rice. that there will be immediate
relief from this serious pest. 1t will
mean that gradually in three or four
years perhaps as the dust becomes
spread about through natural
forces, and the disease takes its toll,
there will be fewer beetles emerg-
ing from the soil.

SAYS GENE TUNNEY
is WRONG?

Il believe in smoking. AS a, doc
tor l recommend it. 1 claim to-
bacco is one of the greatest boons
to mankind"
So writes DR.. Louis e. Bisch, not
ed psychiatrist, in the July issue
of Click magazine. DR.. Bisch takes
issue with Lt.-Commander Gene
Tunney; who opposes the use of
tobacco by men in the armed forces.
DR.. Bisch contends that tobacco is
stimulus to alert thinking, that
alert thinking rather than Drawn
will win the war, and that men in
their sixties and seventies who are
inveterate smokers are fully cap
able despite Tunney's claim smok-
ing shortens the life span.
In this connection DR.. Bisch cites
an interesting example of how, by
careful selection and compilation of
statistics, almost any conclusion
can be drawn: The average life
span in America, has, since 1882,
been increased by seven and quar-
ter years in the past two decades.
In the same period the annual con-
sumption of tobacco has risen in
leaps and bounds. But DR.. Bisch
states categorically that smoking
within reasonable limits does not
cause cancer, heart ailments or any
other Affections equally severe, and
that man develops a tolerance for
tobacco which resists the. supposed
effects of nicotine. In short, he
concludes, if you have a boy in the
army and he smokes cigarettes,
send some to him. Total war calls
for mental conditioning more than
athletic training.

Are the children in our own
homes ready for any emergency?
This, naturally, is our first defense
responsibility. 1t doesn't lessen our
readiness to serve in other capaci-
ties, in fact it definitely increases
our value to the community as a
family, and it really is must, isn't
it?
Now please excuse the personal
form of address in what l have to
say. If you can answer the ques-
tions satisfactorily, you will be
glad l asked you, and if you can't,
I'm sure you'll realize that the sit
uation is too serious for you to care
just how your mistake has been
brought to your attention.
First, just what does that word
must mean to you and your family?
How often, for instance, do you use
it when speaking to your children?
Do you resort to it so seldom and
say it with such confidence that it
is sure to bring a quick, smiling
and willing response? Or, have you
worn it out by using it whenever
you wanted child to put away his
playthings, to pick up scraps, or to
hurry, or to be a little more care
full?
Must implies the necessity for
unquestioning compliance. Is obed-
ience in your home a do as l say"
requirement, accompanied by
threats of punishment, or is it
dignified provision for safety,
trustingIy respected? If the children
of democracy have been properly
taught, there is no clash, in their
thinking, between obedience, and
liberty. They understand that obed-
ience is the gateway to liberty. If

Health Board Advises
Well Cooking OF Pork
CONTINUED from First FAss)

With the coming of cooler wea-
ther pork and pork products are
used much more frequently in
menus. If these meats are thor
oughly cooked there will be no
danger from trichinae which are
present in the meat in about two
per cent of all hogs, but so small
they are difficult to detect.
Take no chances says the Board
of Health, whether the pork be
produced on the farm or bought
from places where there is meat
inspection, whether it be fresh or
smoked, whether it be prepared at
home or in public eating places
do not eat it unless it is thoroughly
cooked. Only when the meat is
cooked white is it safe to eat. This
means white all through - not
white on. the outside and red near
the bone.
These days people cook meats at
"a lower temperature than they
used to in order that it will be
more juicy and tender and so there
is less shrinkage. If low tempera-
ture methods are used it means
that pork must be cooked a longer
time in order that the heat may
penetrate to the very center of the
meat and it will be thoroughly
cooked white all through and there
fore safe to eat, with no danger
from trichinosis.
Some people are fond of raw sau-
sage, and eating this chopped-up
pork rare is just as dangerous as
eating roasts or chops that have
not been thoroughly cooked, ac-
cording to the Board of Health.
Often hamburgers have pork mixed
with the beef. so be sure, when you
stop at a 'dog-wagon", that your
hamburger is well cooked.
