CHILDREN'S BEACH HOUSE
CHATTER

September brought such lovely
weather that we hiked to Lewes on
Tuesday morning. We've had a
few swims this week. We really do
miss swimming since the weather
is not warm enough to swim in ev-
cry day.
Bobby's father came and took him
for ride over to Oak Orchard on
Sunday.
We are changing at the Beach
House all too quickly now that the
fall weather and time for opening
school have both arrived. We GER
tainly miss Charles, Thelma, Cath
crime and John, who left us this
week. They have been with us a
long time and have added much to
all Beach House activities. Joseph
Ross, Jeanne, and Carolyn George
have arrived from Wilmington al
ready, and more are expected soon.
School began Wednesday, and we
have gotten a real start in reading,
number work, story telling, and art.

Quota Announced For
Nations Wheat Crop
CONTINUED from First Page,

made to give growers an oppor-
tunity to make plans for their 1943
crop before seeding time this fall
The marketing quota will apply to
wheat grown on 1943 wheat acreage
allotments of 55 million acres was
announced in June.
Because of the present emergen-
cy and the need for certain COM
modities other than wheat, Della
ware farmers are urged to divert
as much wheat acreage as possible
to crops needed in the war effort.
Farmers who wish to plant less
wheat this fall and more soybeans
next spring may do so. This will
not reduce the 1943 wheat payment
il such a payment is provided, and
will not affect the size of the 1914
wheat allotment determined for the
farm, Ocheltree advises.
With the nation now faced with
heavy supplies of wheat, farmers
are also urged to feed more wheat.
In order to make full use of the
nations tremendous wheat reser-
yes in maintaining current record
production of war-needed livestock
products, the sale of 125 million
bushels of aforementioned
wheat for live stock feeding has
been authorized. 49,.
Further information concerning
wheat for feeding purposes and the
1943 wheat program may be Sc
cured from the c6inty agricultural
extension agent or the local county

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

Service Report for Sunday, Sep
tember 13. Subject: Substance"
Golden Text: Psalms 1856 13. Thy
name, o Lord, endureth for ever;
and thy memorial, o Lord, through
out all generations.
A Bible Citation from the Les
son-SermOn: Mark .12:29-31 And
Jesus answered him, The first of
all the commandments is, Hear, D
Israel; The Lord our God is one
Lord: 80. And thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all they heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
they mind, and with all thy
strength: this is the first command
ment. 81. And the second is like.
namely this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. There is
none other commandment greater
than these. ~, ....s.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: AS God is substance and
man is the divine image and like
ness, man should wish for, and in
reality has, only the substance of
good, the substance of Spirit, not
matter. The belief that man has
any other substance, or mind, is
not spiritual and breaks the First
Commandment, Thou shalt have one
God, one Mind.

BLAZE PARTLY WRECKS
HOME NEAR HOUSTON

Houston firemen used more than
5000 gallons of water in extinguish-
ing a blaze which partly destroyed
the home of Alfred Collins, near
Williamsville, last Saturday night.
The firemen were first called to
the Collins home about 10:30
O'Clock, and upon their arrival
found the entire upper part of the
dwelling ablaze. Using water from
their two huge modern tank trucks
the firemen soon had the blaze un-
der control, although the upper part
of the house was gutted and the
roof burned off.
Shortly before six-thirty Sunday
morning the firemen were again
called back to battle blaze which
had broken out in the ruins.
The firemen hauled water from a
nearby mill-pond for their tankers
and continuous stream was play
ed on the blaze. Persons who were
attracted to the night fire by the
glow in the sky which was visible
for several miles, were amazed at
the efficient job turned in by the
Houston firefighters, who carry
their own water supply with them.
The loss will probably reach ST.
900. Mr.. Collins had approximately
$500 insurance on the building.

Motorists, to be sure, need to ex-
ercise all caution as they drive,
but this will not prevent the auto
mobile accidents to children unless
the children Themselves are taught
fiot to dart out behind parked cars,
not to chase balls across the streets,
run after dogs or play tag where
cars are running ON streets or high
ways.
Parents should remember that
their example to their children is
important. Children are .copycats.
II, parents disregard traffic rules
when they are in a hurry they can
expect the children. to do likewise.
Mothers and fathers should think
