is late. the honey in the hive is
often consumed before spring bios
SONS and flowers appear. When
spring is late. the bees have to be
fed sugar until spring arrives. At
other times early blossoms are ex-
hausted before clovers and shrubs
come into bloom. During this per-
iod also bees must be fed sugar.
Amos says that there are other
important reasons why making
sugar available to beekeepers is es-
sential too. 1t has long been recog-
nized as a splendid nutritiOnal food
and is growing in importance as a
milk modifier for baby food. Honey
has also been used in medicines for
many years. Perhaps most impor-
tant of all, bees are indispensable
for the pollination of fruits, vege-
tables and forage crops.

Governors Statement
In urging Delawareans to coop

Bacon commented:
"An adequate home food supply
is the best means of assuring the
health and strength of the Amer
lean family in war times. The in
creased food needs for our armed
forces, our Allies, and those living
in the cities mean further supplies
of commercially grown foods.
These needs, in particular,
make it highly desirable for the
home production of substantial
portion of the family food supply
by those on farms OF those having
suitable ground, thus helping to
meet increased living costs, and
aiding in transportation conserva-
ton, packing expense and the ma

Mr.. Green contended the election
board was a court of law and the
Supreme Court, under the consti-

writ demanding a review of the
election returns.
Mr.. Lynch claimed the board is
not a court but "a body created for
a specific purpose-canvassing the
vote" and therefore the Supreme
Court does not have the jurisdic-
tion to issue the writ.
He maintained the proceedings
appeared before the Supreme Court
in improper manner. To bring the
case before the higher tribunal, he
said, there should have been an
appeal from a Kent County Super

Boys and girls-rememher this
when you go ice skating Skating
is lot of fun, but it can be dan
gerous too. The best idea is to
skate on a flooded tennis court or
playground, the Delaware Safety
Council says. But if you do skate
on frozen lake or pond. make
sure the ice is good and strong.
and have someone else along to
help you if you break through the
ice.
A newspaper the other day told
of woman who was killed when
her hair caught in the wringer of
washing machine.
Housewives. the Delaware Safety
Council warns that long. loose hair
is hazard in many ways. 1t is
especially dangerous around mov-
ing machinery or open flames.
It's a good idea to keep your
hair pinned close to your head, or
to wear some sort of cap, while
working around the house.
1t is still dark these days when
people go to work, now that the
nation has moved its clocks an
hour ahead.
The Delaware Safety Council ad-
vises everyone who drives to work
to allow more time for the trip and
drive with extra care. Most auto
accidents occur during darkness.
Don't try to maintain your old
schedule when driving to work.
Start sooner. Take it easy.
Pedestrians-Watch out for auto

perry with ice, the Delaware Safety
Council warns.
Motorists can't stop quickly,
even when they see you. Don't jay

BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5--If you are on the uncalled selective serv- ice roles or have relatives or a sweetheart there, the best thing you can do at the moment is not let the smoke screen of confusion get you down.
 , Selective service is in that state of flux which has come to almost everything in the United States war plans. The trouble is that we started building on a foundation far too small and weak for the superstructure this war demands. Now, to save the whole business from collapsing, we have to jack up what building we have, and slide new foundation under it.
 That already has happened in war industry and it isn't certain yet that the foundation is big enough to carry the load. That is what is happening now in the ef- forts to solve the problems of in- flation and of rubber. That is what is going to happen to manpower-

MAKE DAILY RAIDS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. = The Navy Department said today that Army bombers operating from new bases in the Aleutians are making almost daily raids on the Japs at Kiska and Friday downed five en- emy seaplanes
 The communique says that Thurs day and Friday large number of hits by demolition and incendiary bombs were scored on the enemy at Kiska and a seaplane hangar there.
 Weather conditions permitted fre- quent attacks on Kiska last week and the "enemy was under continual fire and photographic survey
 The Navy disclosed that two cargo ships damaged by bombs in prev ious attacks have been beached by the Japs.
 The Navy Department now reports more than 38 Jap ships sunk or damaged in the Aleutians.

 Their midday communique said that the Red Army itself has im- proved it's position northwest O. the city
 But the Nazis, in determined drive on a Stalingrad factory set clement, forced the defenders to withdraw somewhat before night.
 Pravda, Russian news agency, said that the German command loosed an assault in this sector after bringing up two more infan- try divisions and one tank divis- ion, increasing their strength to 5 divisions after getting into posi- tion.
 Northwest of the city, Russian troops are reported locked in bat tie with the Germans, clinging strongly to a fortified hill.

 SOVIET CHIEF
U. 5, British Ambassadors 10 Seek Information
 from StdIin

MOSCOW, Oct 5.-United States and British ambassadors discussed informally Stalins letter which call ed upon Russia's Allies to fulfill obigations fully on time.
 The ambassadors are expected to seek some explanation of some of the phrases of the letter.
 The main issue appears to be whether the creation of Second Front in 1942 is generally held by the Russians as an Allied obligation and should so be considered by the governments involved.
 In diplomatic quarters, the letter is considered an important devel- opment bringing into the open the apparent differences of views in the Allied capitals.
