The grim voice of a surgeon breaking the news to
a patient: I'm afraid we'll have to operate"
OPERATE! A hundred years ago. no other word
in the whole English language struck such cold,
steely terror into the heart of man. With eyes
wide open-brain wide awake-every sense alive
every nerve alert-he'd be strapped to the
torture table, to struggle and scream, while burly
attendants assisted in holding him down.
But on one Friday morning on the 10Th of
October, 1916, the clock on the wall of Boston
hospitals operating theatre chimed the hour of
ten-and sounded the death knell of terror and
pain under the surgeons knife! Stretched on
the operating table was the form of man.

ment. The sponsoring agencies,
The ChiEdren's Bureau of Delaware
and the State Board of Welfare,
hitherto able to place children with
out campaigning to that end, have
found the need of homes rising
critically of late, until the demand
far exceeds thir ability to find
homes in the usual routine way.
Pays For Board
AS has ben previously explained,
the agencies pay for board, cloth
ing and medical expenses. and the
carefully selected foster parents
provide educational and religious
supervision, physical care and the
emotional stability so sadly lacking
in the present lives of these chill

apply for child of any age, white

from periods ranging from months
to many years. Interested persons

DADS GIVEN
DRAFT TEST
CONTINUED from Page OneJ

Der will be relatively small = in
some instances only three to five
per cent of the total called. This
ratio, however, is expected to be
increased sharpl in December, when
the other classes of eligibles will
be badly depleted.
Warned in September
All men eligible for the draft in
the non-deferrable lists were ad-
vised by the VINO in September,
when the non-deferrablel list was
extended, to transfer to war-sup-
porting work or face reclassifica-
ton and induction. The men were
given 80 days to register with the
U. S. Employment Service and find
suitable jobs, but only a mere
handful took advantage of this
offer, employment officials said.
One local draft board, to avoid
pre-Pearl Harbor fathers,
searched its lists for men having
industrial exemption from the draft
which have recently, or are about
to expire; for those who through
family illness or other cause had
secured temporary deferment, and
those now reaching Is years of age.
A number of boards also increased
the percentage of men called for
limited service.
Have Physical Defects
A number of these men have
physical defects which have either
been corrected or fit them for linn
tied service. Five per cent of one
city boards quota of this type man
will be called for limited service.
Recently Inducted
Meanwhile, the names of men
recently inducted into the armed
forces from two draft boards in
Kent County were released at the
Service headquarters.

The
What Not Shelf
By Louise Hoffecker Burslem

oy LOulSt I1OutChtI
Orchids to the volunteer firemen
here for their hospitality last Fri
day night. The "open to all' dance
was well attended and obviously
well enjoyed, and the spread of
food they offered!
The writer dropped in just to
look on and show interest in the
Ifiremen, when one member of the
Citizens Hose Company grabbed us
firmly, and capered away at a
merry pace down the dance floor.
1t was just the beginning of a
square dance-so swathed in coat,
hat and gloves, and Juggling hand
bag, we pranced and danced and
twirled for nigh on to twenty min
utes. Soon after the last note
sounded, we were a lump-just a
sodden, shapeless lump, on the
sidelines.
After a brief period of violent
struggle, strength returned, and
we mustered up enough energy to
stumble weakly over to the fire
hall to partake of some nourish-
ment. The firemen had table set
with treasures reminiscent of pre-
war days-and they urged their
guests to eat all they could hold.
They even had generous plate of
butter-to say nothing of about
eight kinds of meat and as many
varieties of cheese. 1t was a make
your own" party-and you didn't
have to mentally count the points.
= -
Seaman Sara Ellen Wright of
the WAVES has been home on fur
Tough, and reports that the girls
speculate happily on the first cos
tune they will buy after the war.
Some want fancy evening gowns
while others would stake months
salary on just a bright red dress
and spike-heeled sandals. The gals
are glad to wear suits for the dura-
tion, and to look just like thou
sands of other girls, but after the
war-just watch out for their dust!
Now that the street lights have
been turned on full force again,
this old town looks like, Broadway
in its heyday! So long have we
stumbled and blundered about on
the dark streets that having
enough light seems strange indeed.
Timid souls will now be able to go
out of an evening!
