HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compeW
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 90

Until late today mildly adverse
planetary influences are active, but
benefic aspects rule after noontime
HEART AND HOME: Added re-
sponsibilities are indicated for wom-
en- who today come under stimu-
lating and encouraging direction
of the stars. The evening appears
to presage courtship for girls, young
and not SO young Men of fortune
come under a sway making for
susceptibility and their wooing is
more definite that that of the
youths in uniform. This is an aus
picious day for shopping. While
uniforms will be worn by an in
creasing number of women femin-
inc apparel is a lure for young men
who are in the service of their
country.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Interest
in agriculture is strong and the
need of farm hands will be impera-
tive from now on through the sum
mer. Again farmerettes will prove
their efficiency by combining brains
with muscle strain. Truck garden
ing will attract many older women
who foresee the need of increased
production of food. Prosperity will
continue to a degree that relieves
residents of the United States of
fear of lack in any form. Plenty
Of money will be in circulation but
initiation may appear imminent.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Reduction
in living expenses will be sought by
many owners of large houses. Man
sions will be converted into hoSpi-
tails and Institutions for the care
of children OF the aged. In Wash
ington, D. c., and New York City
there may be legal measures for
the utilization of dwellings and
other buildings not occupied. Ma
tional needs will multiply rapidly
within the next few weeks which
will bring about unexpected emer-
gencies that require quick action.
INTERNATIONAL AIR 5:
Violent offensives will mark COM
ing weeks. The United Nations will
launch such fleets of airplanes and
such great armies as have never
been directed against foe. Nav
al surprises are prognosticated. In
the air, on land and on the seas
the forces of the Democracies will
overwhelm their enemies. Desperate
situations are to cause the Axis to
take recourse to gas and to other
barbarous methods of gaining adj
vantage All fighting will be in
tensified through May when the
trend of the war should be definite
ly against the Axis.

DISCUSS KENT
FARM PROGRAM
Field Supervisors Meet to
Plan 1912 COnserva-
ton Program
SHORTAGES NAMED

For the purpose of receiving in
structions in regard to checking
farms for compliance in 1912 Agri-
cultural Conservation program field
supervisors We're called in for a
conference recently in the Office of
the Kent County Agricultural Con-
servation Office of the Kent County
Agricultural Conservation Associa-
ton by County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, secretary of the associa-
ton, at the request of the agricul-
tural conservation committee. The
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration was represented by Il. 0.
StelZer, executive assistant for Del
aware and Maryland, who explain
ed some of the details of the farm
program in connection with the
checking for compliance, and urged
that field supervisors exercise every
caution possible in obtaining the
list of farm practices and in secur-
+ ing all the required information
which will entitle farmers to re-
ceive conservation payments. AS
the 1912 agricultural conservation
program closed June 80, all farm
practices which are carried out af-
ter July 1 will be included in the
1943 program.
Cover Crops and Soil
The important part which cover
crops play in relation to soil i'm
Iprovement practices was discussed
by Claude E. Phillips, extension
specialist in forage crops, Univer-
sity of Delaware, who is cooperat-
ing with the county agent in SER
les of pasture improvement dem
onstrations in various sections of
the county this year. Mr.. Phillips
placed particular emphasis on the
need for more cover crops, and
stated that more information along
this line of soil-building practices
will be available to farmers in the
Dcdl luJuIe.
Storage of Pasture Crops
There is decided shortage of
pasture and hay crops in this area,
and it was suggested that the Ag-
ricultural Conservation Association
could greatly assist the Extension
Service in encouraging farmers to
sow the proper clover and grass
mixtures for this purpose, and at
the same time follow a program
for increasing the fertility of the
soil. One of the chief detectives in
using cover crops is to provide
nitrogen to the soil, and this prac-
tice is very necessary now because
of the shortage of this element due
to its extensive use in the manufac-
turing of war material.

FOOD BIGGEST
FARM EXPENSE
Account Studies of Delaware
Farmers Reveal Family
Living Expense
S1,O5S.7S AVERAGE SPENT

An analysis of family living costs
of So Delaware farm families, by
Miss Louise R. Whitcomb, home
management specialist for the Del
aware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, reveals that two major costs
were food and the automobile.
Fifty-eight farm families scattered
throughout the State, kept detail
ed accounts of all their living costs
with the assistance of the home
management specialist. The aver
age amount of money spent for all
living expenses was S1,05S.78, for a
family of four. OF this amount
1882 was for food, and S218 for
gasoline and repairs on the auto
mobile. Other items were S155 for
operating expenses, such as fuel,
electricity, telephone, and laundry
supplies; S113 for home repairs and
new equipment; sos for clothing;
$50 for contributions. These farm
family account records provide an
excellent basis for wise handling of
family income this year, says Miss
Whitcomb. According to the rec
ords AT per cent of the food used
was produced on the farms, while
the remainder was purchased. This
year, farm families are urged by
the Extension Service to produce as
near rs per cent home food supply
as possible. Miss Whitcomb sug-
gests that families may help to
meet family living costs by using
discretion in buying and by making
only necessary purchases. Savings
in fuel costs for the farm home
may be made by using more fire
wood in place of other types of
fuel. Homemakers will find too
that home sewing will help to keep
down clothing costs. Priorities and
restrictions will tend to keep some
expenditures to a minimum. With
these avenues of spending closed,
families are afforded an opportun-
ity to increase their savings pro-
gram. Wise managers will take
advantage of additional income to
pay off debts and invest in war
STAINS and bonds, Miss Whitcomb
concludes.

Each trick" like the airplane

three hours. A weekly schedule
will be made, Chief Jacobs said
and each person on weekly duty is
responsible for that trick by MAX
ing certain the Center is manned
either by himself or a substitute,
during the hours for which he has
volunteered. A list of substitutes
will be posted, Jacobs announced,
so that the person responsible for
duty can arrange with some substi-
tute a schedule whereby each will
be on duty during stated hours
every other week. Chief Jacobs
urges that all women and men who
feel able to do so volunteer for
duty at the Control Center.

The Civilian Defense Control
Center here will be operated for

Gil announced yesterday. The Cen

Smyrna have expressed willing
ness to serve at the Control Center,

to the appeal for volunteers is ex-
pected. There are many persons
here who wish to further assist the
local defense effort, the council
reported. Heretofore, two paid

URGES PLANNED
FOOD SUPPLY
Wise HOmemakers Will Plan
to Have a Good Supply
of Canned Goods
SOME MAY BE STORED

While Delaware farm families
are enjoying fresh foods from the
garden, wise homemakers will plan
for a vegetable supply during the
winter months, says Miss Pearl
Macdonald, nutritionist for the
/ Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service. This year wise homemak-
ers who plan now to have a good
supply of canned vegetables on the
pantry shelves for the winter
months will bring savings to the
family and contribute to the vic
tory effort. For those who have
usually canned a considerable
number of jars of carrots and
beets, Miss Macdonald suggests
that these vegetables, if planted in
the late garden, can be stored in
the cellar or storage pit. Home
makers may wish to put up few
jars of young and tender carrots
and beets for special occasions, but
by storing other quantities of these
vegetables, Miss Macdonald points
out that additional canning jars
can be released for the more per-
ishable vegetables that cannot be
stored. Transportation facilities
net winter will probably be used to
the limit in the defense effort, and
homemakers should plan to can an
abundant supply of Delawares
popular farm and garden product,
the tomato. Tomatoes, both can
ned and fresh, can help take the
place of citrus fruits in the family
diet. Miss Macdonald says that
20 to 25 cans of tomatoes this year
for each member of the family will
not be too much. Other important
fresh vegetables that should be
canned as they are available are
asparagus, peas, lima beans, string
beans and corn. By planning the
family canning and storage budget
now, the ,homemaker will be sure
to have on her pantry shelf, in
storage and in the late garden,
some of all the essential vegetables
for the winter season.
Smyrna times., 1942-07-09
NO TIME LIMIT
CANNING SUGAR
Applicants Can Register Any
Time Except Today, Tomor-
row and Saturday
HOURS CHANGED 9 TO 4

Persons applying for sugar fol
canning purposes can register any
time except today, tomorrow and
Saturday, July 8, 10, and IL, at
which time gasoline applicants will
be registered exclusively. Harley
R. Bodley, chairman of the War
Price and Rationipg Board here
further stated no time limit has
been placed on canning sugar reg
Iistration. Applicants have been
swarming to the Ration Board Of
flee under the mistaken impression
that they had only a day or two
left in which to get their sugar for
canning" said Mr.. Bodley. Appli-
cants may get this sugar at any
time when they have need for it.
The hours during which the Ration
Office will be open to the public
have been changed due to the in
creased amount of work. Hours
are now 8 a. m. until 4 p. M, in
order that the personnel may dc
work after the office is closed.
Instructions received by the
Board state that only those persons
residing in this Board area, which
is the First and Third District, can
apply to the local office for gas,
sugar, tires, or any other commod-
ity that may be rationed. All per-
sons living in New Castle County
covered by the area served by the
Middletown Board should apply
there, Mr.. Bodley said.

'BLACKOUT HERE

Between July 18th and 18th
Will Include Extensive
Position Test
WILL LAST ONE HOUR

Sometime during the dates of
July 18th and July 18th inclusive,
the residents of Smyrna will be
called upon to experience another
complete blackout. This blackout,
when it is called, will include posi-
ton tests by the various groups
listed under Civilian Defense. These
units will plan a number of Incl
dents, which will be carried out
under strict blackout conditions.
From rehearsals of this type, the
Smyrna Civilian Defense Council
hopes that all workers in the entire
organization will become more ia
miliar with their duties, thereby
better fitting themselves for what
ever emergency that may arise in
the future. The present plans in
clude calling out the Motor Corps,
and the First Aid Groups. Part of
the Motor Corps members will be
detailed to report to the Transpor-
tation Center, and part will be call
ed into service to take their posts
at the Welfare Home. Instructions
for the Motor Corp drill will be is
sued by Mrs. c. L. Harmonson,
chairman of this unit. The pro-
posed blackout is expected to last
for one hour, and the exact time
set, to remain unknown except to
one or two selected persons. 1.-THE

lowing points in collecting fats are
emphasized: save fats from meat
and poultry pan drippings, from
bacon, fried potatoes, fish, dough-
nuts, etc.; pour waste fats into a
wide-mouthed can, and strain as
the fat is poured in; keep fat in re-
frigerator or cool place until one
pound has been collected, never
less. Paper or glass containers are
not acceptable, nor are rancid fats.
No returned fats are used as foods.
