HOMEMAKERS MUST
RATION TIME WELL
CONTINUED from First Page,

First. she should plan her work
carefully. Planning is the home
makers biggest time saver, and a
loyal hOmemaker these days wants
to he able to account for her "a
hours a day.
Second, she should see that her
family, or whoever is involved in
the work with her, helps in carry
ing out these plans-the plan is
of no value until it is carried
through.
And. third, she should keep her
workshop as up to date as pos
sible. Well arranged equipment
will save both time and energy,
good lighting will save eyesight
and promote more efficient work,
and proper equipment will save
health.
Limited time cannot be rationed
by the principles applied to our
other shortages. Its proper regula-
tion depends upon the efficiency of
the individual who governs any
particular set of man hours. The
individual does one of the most i'm
portant rationing jobs when she
manages his time efficiently to do
the most of the essential work.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

Christian Science Church Service
Report for Sunday. April Is, 1943.
Subject: DOCTRINE OF ATONE
MENT.
Golden Text: Gal. 1874. Grace
he to you and peace from God the
Father, and from our Lord Jesus
Christ. who gave himself for our
sins. that he might deliver us from
this present evil world. according
to the will of God and our Father.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: | Peter 1:22.23. Seeing
ye have purified your souls in obey
ing the truth through the Spirit
unto unfeisned love of the breth-
rem. see that We love one another
with pure heart fervently: %.
Being born again. not OF corrupt
ible seed. but of incorruptible, by
the word OF God. which liveth and
abideth for ever.
COrrelative from the Textbook.
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: The way to extract error
from mortal mind is TO pour in
truth through flood-tides of Love.
Christian perfection is won on no
other basis. Grating holiness upon
suppOsing that sin can
be forgiven when it is not forsaken.
is as foolish as straining out gnats
and swallowing camels. The scien-
tific unity which exists between
God and man must be wrought out
in life-practice. and Gods will must
be universally done.

$500, 900 In War Bonds
Sold Down-State
CcOntInusd from FIRST Page,

telephone from other towns of Sus-
sex county. This did not include
$S7 900 sold Monday night during
a celebration in Lewes which hon
ored Lieutenant Commander Leroy
c. Simpler, Solomon Islands hero
and a native OF Sussex county. The
submarine was on exhibit that day
at the gates of Fort Miles, Lewes.
Commander Simpler was a speak
er on Tuesday at the Georgetown
celebration. He told the hundreds
of persons congregated in front of
the postofiice, where the submarine
was on exhibit from 3 a. m. to 2 D.
m, of his experiences in the Pa
cific war theatre. James NJ Tunnel,
Jr., Georgetown, also spoke.
A parade, under the direction of
Herbert H. Lank, was a feature of
the celebration. A platoon of sol
diers and sailors, the Fort Miles
Band. American Legion. " F. W.,
and several school bands were in
the line of march.
A large scale with markings to
show the total bond sales was plac-
ed on the postoffice lawn and a
torpedo moved along the side of it
to show what the sale was, at one
particular time. At the end of the
scale a bucket was placed with
efiigies of Hirohito, Mussolini and
Hitler. The torpedo struck the buc-.
ket at $3.50 p. m.
Dover Rally
Dover sales totalled S154,261 af-
ter the submarine spent the after
noon and early part of the evening
in that town. A driving rain Tues
day night routed hundreds of per-
sons who had gathered along the
streets.
In Milford the goal for April is
S40O 900. This is in addition to the
approximately $4,000 which is be-
ing sold here every month, as Mil
fOrd's obligation to buy $1,000 900
worth of bonds during the year.
Those who watch the thermometer
on the bride will see that this
pledge is being kept each month.
However, to sell the 100000
worth of bonds during April, re-
newed efforts must be made and if
the goal is successfully reached,
this city will give the other towns
on the Peninsula something to
shoot at. The local committee,
headed by Clarence NJ. Welch, Jr.,
NJ. Haswell Pierce and Senator
Robert Fl. Yerkes, need the sup
port of every man, woman and
child in the Milford community.
1t is the job of the people as a
whole to see that this goal is at
tanned.
Buy bonds today. tomorrow, and all
the weeks to come,
Buy bonds to whip Hitler and set
the Rising Sun;
Buy bonds to assure victory and
keep our people free,
Buy bonds so our children can
sing Sweet Land of Liberty
Buy bonds to back the boys who
cross the briny deep
Buy bonds to assure our heroes of
a restful sleep. /
Buy bonds for the Atlantic Charter
that is due to come, /
When battle cries are over and the
victory is won.
