Been Donated.

The Milford Bathing Beach and
Playground will lbe informally Op-

Ticks are abundant in damp
areas covered with underbrush,
tall grass. and weeds. Right now
they will be encountered in almost
any woods. woody area. or old

bite. Even infected ticks cannot
produce the disease unless at

New Plan

RatiOning of heating and cook

Rationing will be adjusted by

Business Men Urged
To Help Can Crops
Those Too Old To Fight Can Per-
form Real Service At Home

There has been much talk that a
food crisis still exists. The growers
in this area have done a stupen-
dous job of shifting to essential
war crOps-but the food shortage
will not be licked until those crops
are harvested and prOcessed-and
a whole army of workers must be
recruited to handle this work.
Full-time as well as part-time
workers are needed Men who are
too old to fight but who have
longed to feel that they are doing
something essential for the war
effort should look upon this as the
ideal opportunity. 1t has been said
that food will win the war and
write the peace. But that isn't
putting it strongly enough. Actual
ly, this war can be won or lost
right here at home. If the food is
grown but not harvested, not pack
ed, we folks right here are to
blame. And no one can tell now
how dearly we would have to pay
for our shortcomings. for our un-
willingness to help where help is
most needed.
Start now to budget your time.
Decide now how many days, how
many hours you might be able to
put in-on the farms and in the

vital war work-just as essential

Shields On
House Lights
Approved For
Dim out Use
Only Opaque Covering
Sanctioned To Permit
Ventilation Of Homes,
Under FOreman's In
terpretatiOn.

An Interpretation of the dimout
regulations sanctioning use of
Opaque shield on lights in homes
and other buildings without clos
ing doors and windows entirely
was released this week by Colonel
John P. LeFevre, state dimOut di-
rector. Translucent shields do not
meet the requirements.
The Interpretation was received
by Colonel LeFevre from Colonel
A. w. Foreman, director of the
internal security division, Head
quarters Second Service Com
mand.
Colonel Foreman explained:
with the coming of the spring
and summer season many Ques-
tiOns are being asked concerning
cOnformance with dimout regula-
tions and at the same time obtain
ing adequate ventilation.
1T is obvious that the people
have lost sight of Section ". Par
agraph u. of the dimOut regula-
tions, which permits shielding at
tAAN oOhA CC VI AuC AlSIls OO THAT IL
cannot be visible from the outside.
THE opaque shields which have
been devised by the lamp manufacI
turers accomplish this purpose. 1t
is true that their opacity is effec-
tive to about 81 per cent. However,
this is sufficient compliance with
the regulations"
Announcing the Interpretation
Colonel LeFevre said it should
clear up the doubt now existing in
the minds of many householders as
to the proper manner for dimming
out lights without closing the
doors and windows entirely"
The requirement is effective in
all the dimOut areas of Delaware,
which comprise Kent and Sussex
counties, he said.
