November Is Xmas
Mailing Month
tcontlnusd irom FIrsI Paesl

1T is also the only way to avoit
the possibility of Christmas emer
gency in the transportation ant
postal services. If the public will
cooperatee by mailing their Christ
mas parcels DURING NOVEMBER
We can handle a small volume o.
light, last-minute mailings, such as
cards. up to December 10-but We
can do that and avoid an emergency
only if November is really Christ
mas Bailing Month"
Postal officials pointed out that
the volume of mail now is far
above any previous records, that
railway cars by the hundreds have
been diverted to war service and
that the air lines have only about
half as many planes as they once
operated.
More than two hundred thousand
extra temporary employees nor
mally are employed to help with
the holiday postal rush. This year,
the extra employees will be largely
women and high school boys and
girls who are unable to work the
long hours usually required and
whose work will be relatively slow.
To deliver the Christmas mails
on time, therefore. it is necessary
that mailings be spread out over a
longer period so that available
transportation equipment and pos
tai personnel can be used during
more weeks. 1t will be utterly i'm
possible to make the deliveries by
Christmas if mailers wait until the
last three weeks before the holi-
day, as in normal years.
There is another reason for shop
ping and mailing earlier than ever
before. Retail stores are short
handed. Purchasers can avoid
shopping in crowded stores. long
waits for service. and other incon-
veniences of late shopping if they
buy now. They will also doubtless
have a better choice of merchan-
disc than will be available later
Postmaster General Walker OBJ
served that his warning lis not an
attempt to tell the public what 10
10: it is only an advance notitica-
lion of what will happen if they
mail late. He feels that the public
IS entitled to the facts, and that
when they know them. they will
decide to MAIL IN NOVEMBER.

soon as possible after hostilities
cease.
ITO achieve this employment OBJ
jective the nation must provide and
sell on. a profitable basis an an
nual output worth of approximate
ly 140 billion dollars or 40 per cent
more than in 1910, when about 100
billion goods and services were
turned out.
ITO aid in reaching these goals,
American business must put on its
own greatest industrial revolution
new designs and uses for pro-
ducts, new products, expanded mar
kets and new markets developed all
over the world"
Mr.. Cannon said that the COM
mittee aimed at two things as ma
jor steps toward a healthy post
war economy of high level employ
ment and productivity:
First-To stimulate and help
each company in every American
industrial community to use its
own resources and abilities to
their maximum in postwar plan
ming.
Second-To provide on national
scale working answers to the ques-
ton: What conditions does busi-
ness require from government and
from all other aspects of its en-
vironment to enable it to do its
maximum job?
mount task is winning this war
But our second certainly is to see
that the war stays won-that we
don't permit our country to plunge
into the deep depression and wide
unemployment out of which dicta-
torships and wars have bred in
other parts of the world" Mr.. Can
non said.
He explained that the commit
tee had organized a national re-
search division to get the answers
to what provides a favorable eli
mate" for business. and a field di-
vision to get business started on its |
postwar planning on a company
basis, and then TO help ,
it follow through.
Our own district chairmen are
going TO find first-class men will !
ing to take leadership of COM
mittee in each industrial commun-
ity. Those community committees
will help and encourage every
single company.
It's a grass roots job. We aren't
an overhead planning organization.
We aren't overhead about anything.
We're engaged in growing from the
roots up and not the top down"
Mr.. Cannon said that the COM
nittee for economic development is
Independently financed by business

my other group. private or public.
We aim TO help business do its

inow now that such planning must

New Book Tells
Story OF 'Moors'
(continued from F1rst PaesI

Both groups of people exhibi
the commingled blood of early
white settlers, shipwrecked Sailors
= and in some families, but not all
there is a dark-skinned trait thai
can be traced to African heritage
perhaps Moorish, dating from indi.
viduals who were sold in America
as slaves, according to the author
Although the Moors maintain
separate schools and churches
they do not preserve an Indian
identity, yet many of them have
the appearance of Indians. The
Nanticokes are still deeply con-
scious of their native origins and
consider themselves as Indians. In
1929, through the assistance of DR..
Frank G. Speck. noted Indian au-
thority on the teaching staff of the
University of Pennsylvania, they
formed the Nanticoke Indian As
sociation, which is legally incor-
porated under the state laws. Until
1896, the Nanticokes held annual
pOwwows each Thanksgiving at
Oak Orchard which drew hundreds
of outside visitors to Sussex coun-
ty.
The first elected chief of the in
cOrporated tribe was William Rus
sell Clark. a prosperous Indian
with large land holdings along In
dian River. At his death, he was
succeeded by his son Ferdinand
Clark, and after the latter's death,
"a younger son. Charles Clark
tChief Little OWL became the tri-
bal sachem and is the present lead
er of the group. Meetings are held
each month and the author de-
scribes one of the meetings in de-
tail as well as a church service in
the Indian house of worship.
Mr. Weslager lauds the Moors
and Nanticokes for their thrift and
industry, pointing out that many
are more prosperous than their
white neighbors who often in the
past were inclined to view them
with prejudice. He says that the
two communities, because of their
geographical isolation, are unique
in American life. He estimates the
NanticOke community as consist
ing of about 200 individuals, while
the MOOrs at CheswOld have a pop
ulation of about 500.
Peoples originating in one or the
other of the two communities are
also found in Milford. Dover and
Seaford Mr.. Weslager says that a
few of them have married white
persons and moved TO northern cit /,

DELAWARE'S
FARM FRONT
THIS WEEK

With increased supplies of pres
sure Gamers now available in deal
ers' stocks, the War Food Admin
istration has relaxed rationing
regulations to facilitate purchase
of Gamers by individuals and
groups for home food processing.
Group use of all Gamers is no
longer a prime requisite for eli
gibility to purchae and Gamers
may be bought now for individual
home use. Persons who need them
may apply directly to County Farm
Rationing Committees for certifi-
Gates of eligibility or ak that pre-
viously filed applications be re-
viewed under the new rulings. APP
plications no longer need to locate
Gamers for sale before the appli-
cations to purchase are approved.
C. E. Ocheltree. chairman of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture War Board, has announced
that the conference for planning
the 1914 Food For Freedom" CAM
paign of Delaware farmers will be
held in the conference room at the
United States Custom House in
Wilmington, October IA to 16.
County agricultural agents and
county war board chairmen will
meet with state agricultural agen-
cy and United States Department
of Agricultural representatives TO
determine the maximum cOntribu-
ton which Delaware farmers can
make to next years food produc-
ton program. Chief purposes of the
meeting are to set goals which
Delaware farmers should be able
to meet in production of each of
the essential food crops. consider
ing price supports and ceilings,
machinery and supply require
ments. labor, food for live stock,
marketing. transportation, and soil
conservation. and TO find solutions
TO as many as possible of the prob
lens which farmers confront in
meeting such goals.
Buildings which can be operated
as warehouses for the storage of
potatOes on a unit basis are being
sought by the New York Regional
Office of the War Food Admins
tration. Clifford w. Shedd, WFA
State Supervisor, has announced.
Since an estimated 10 to 10 mil
lion bushels of potatoes must be
moved out of Maine before Decem-
her l. WA is interested in OBJ
tanning immediate information
about available buildings suitable
for storage of potatoes, both for
short period and for the entire win
ter.
Minimum requirements for build
ings for the storage of potatoes are .
that they be tight, heavily enough
contracted to handle the weight,
and that they can be kept at a
temperature of between 80 and 80 /
degrees. Buildings that can be I
darkened or those having few win
dows are desirable. Air circulation
is also important for storage of
potatoes. and railroad siding is
preferred.
Anyone having information con-
cerning buildings suitable for po-
tato storage should contact John A.

FALL GARDEN WORK WILL BE
VALUABLE NEXT SPRING

"A little time spent in the garden
this fall will be worth lot next
year" says Z. p Brasher. truck
crop specialist for the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service.
Mr.. Brasher says that a fall
cleanup of the garden area is one
of the best ways of combating sew
eral common diseases and insect
pests Destroying all plant refuse,
trash, and weeds. preferably by
burning. will cut down carry-Over
of disease spores from infected
plants, and at the same time kill
numerous insects which spend the
winter in these shelters. Such in
sects include corn borer, squash
bug. harlequin cabbage bug, and
cucumber and blister beetles, all
among the hardest to control by
spraying.
After a thorough cleanup, in
Guiding edges and fence rows, the
garden may be given a heavy COW
ering of barnyard manure, COM
post, or other organic materials. If
the garden is level so that it will
not wash during the winter, il
should be turned under to depth
of six or eight inches so that the
organic material will decay. This
decayed material will hold mois-
ture for next years plants. Expos
ure of the plowed soil to freezing
and thawing helps break the soil
particles, making it easier to work
in the spring. And a garden hand
led in this manner can he worked
earlier in the spring, which will be
advantageous in raising early
crops.
When stable manure is not avail
able, green manure crop is a good
substitute. Rye is probably the best
for late fall sowing. 1t will add
valuable organic matter to any gar
den when plowed up in the spring,
and is especially valuable in pre-
venting erosion during the winter
of areas which are not level. Rye
may be sown in strips as soon as
each crop is harvested or between
rows of late crops at their last
cultivation. Scatter or ounces
(about half a cupful) on each 100
square feet and cover the seed by
raking or cultivating.

THERE Is A FOURTH
DIMENSION

The fourth dimension is just d
hypothesis, realistically speaking
but the fourth dimension of public
relations has been brought into TO-
Gus. Paul Garrett. vice president
and director of public relations OF
General Motors. in recent address
listed four public relations dimen-
sions for industry in better inter-
preting itself to the public. mat
ter of great Importance TO both.
Doing a good job is the first di-
mension of public relations. This
certainly is true for all organiza-
tions in war or peace, and indus
try has demonstrated over the
years what it can do. Companies
engaged in war production have
had a special opportunity both TO
do their greatest job and. because
of the special attention paid them
in the war emergency, to demon
strate conspicuously their mass
production talents.
Telling about the job done is
the second dimension in the public
relations rule book. The doing is
more important than the telling,
but the doing alone is not enough.
War industry and other concerns
have made striking steps in this
direction with the reportto-the-
public nature of their advertise
ments and annual reports.
The third dimension is telling
how a company is able to do the
kind of job it is doing. Mr.. Garrett
says quite rightly that industry
must give the public an under
standing of the how" and why"
Surely the public, eager to know
the how of everything pertaining
to the nations accomplishments in
the war, will agree. And the facts
prove this point, for some of the
most avidly read contemporary
war stories are those telling the
how" of events long after the pub
lie has read about the events them
selves in the newspapers as they
have transpired.
But there is a fourth dimension
that equals in importance any of
the first three. 1t is the question
of diffusing the responsibility for
public relations thinking through
out an organization. AS Mr.. Gar
rett put it, You never know at
what stage even a small decision
may develop to the maturity of a
good or a bad public impression"
The importance of these princi-
pies lies in the fact that they ap-
ply not only to the public relations
of industry and public understand
ing of industry. They apply to
the activities of all organizations,
whether the business you work in
or the fraternal group to which
you belong. Their most important
application, particularly that of the
fourth point, is to the whole nation
and to us in our role as its repre-
sentatives.
Let us be conscious of our pub
lie relations responsibilities and
in public relations let us be four
dimensional beings.

SENATE FAVORS TOWNSEND
FOR 1914 G. q. p. DRIVE
Continue from F1rst Pasel

the Republicans will win the presi-
dency. the House and the Senate too
in 1914"
Senate Republican leaders be-
lieve they will gain seats in Cali
fornia. Iowa. Illinois. Indiana. New
York. Oklahoma and Washington
next year. They also see possibility
of victories in Idaho. Maryland.
Missouri. Utah and even in Ken
tucky. They say gain of seven
seats is almost certain with 10
seats quite possible.
Democratic Senate leaders con-
cede the likelihood of Republican
gains next year but deny the Senate
will go Republican. They hope TO
defeat sitting Republican here and
there to partially Offset their eX-
pected losses. They decline how
ever TO speak of specific states.
In any event. the despair that
gripped Republican political minds
in the Roosevelt first and second
terms has completely disappeared.
They believe they are on the road
back to national power
