RESIDENTS of Kent and SUSSEX
Counties will elect their Boards Of
School Trustees of State Board Dis
tricts and Boards of Education ol
Special Districts at elections to be
held in each district on Saturday
May s. between the hours of one
and five o'clock in the afternoon.
These elections are held in accord
ance with the new school laws en-
acted at the session of the General
Assembly which has just closed.
Under the new laws boards con-
sisting of four members will be
elected for each district. The pres
ent boards will be abolished and
cease to function on July 1 next.
1t is well for those interested in
the school elections to know the
procedure to be followed in nomi-
mating candidates for office. Names
for candidates in the State Board
Districts must be filed on or before
April 90, which is fifteen days be-
fore the elections. Due to an error
in typing the bill for presentation
to the General Assembly the time
for filing candidates in the Special
Districts was made ten days before
the election. which makes the final
filing date for the Special Districts
Wednesday, April 2S.
The names are to be placed on
the ballots in alphabetical order
and without party designation. The
candidate receiving the highest
number of votes is elected for four
years, the next highest for three
years and on down the line. AS
many as may desire may file. pro-
vided they meet the qualifications
for members of the boards. Candi-
dates for election to the Milford
Special District Board of Education
must file with the Clerk of the
Peace of Sussex County, for the
reason that the principal school is
located in Sussex and the law pro-
vides that in case of the district
being in two counties the location
of the principal school shall gov
ern the county into which it shall
be placed.
On another page of the Chronicle
the Clerk of the Peace of Sussex
County is advertising the places at
which the elections are to be held,
the full law governing the elections
and the filing dates for candidates.
1t will be well for those interested
in the welfare of the public schools.
to read these instructions.

Tuesday when the British opened
their new drive north of Gabes,
and promised that the British sue
cess and the American fianking ac-
tions would be exploited to the
fullest" Commenting on the same
developments, owl Director Davis
was also optimistic. He explained
the continued Allied success
against Rommel by pointing out
that the pressure of U. S. forces
against the right flank of the
Afrika Korps compelled Rommel to
divert part of his forces to meet the
American drive, and British forces
were thus able to drive through
and take another German-held po-
sition.

POSTWAR RESERVES

In it's recommendation for the
adoption of a national policy to
provide liberal profit margins
for war contractors who create
reasonable reserves for postwar
conversions purposes, the Senate
Truman Committee has pointed out
one of the most vital issues of the
period Immediately following the
war.
This proposal. which was made
as part of the committees report
on renegotiation of war contracts,
wisely distinguishes between 'eX-
cessive or padded" reserves. and
those which are essential to the
very necessary job of reconver-
sion.
Too many people are prone to
forget the fact that these reserves
will mean as much to them after
the war as they do to the individual
companies.
An industry geared to the max
ing of war materials will offer lit
tie employment after the war when
the need is for peacetime products,
unless it can afford to reconvert,
and quickly.
AS the Committee has rightly
stated, sound national policy re-
quires the encouragement of manu-
facturers to set up such reserves
and that somewhat more liberal
allowances of profit margins might
properly be made to contractors
who create reasonable reserves of
this character than are allowed to
contractors who spend or distribute
all profits as they are earned"

cent of provocation and powerless
to do anything about it. In war
time, when all strikes are endan-
gering the war effort, the jurisdic-
tional strike is particularly out
rageous. 1t is merely a manifesto
tion OF the attitude of organizing
first" which organized labor has
promised to abandon for the dura-
tion.
Reports of the conference state
that while both sides of the table
felt that their proposals were es-
sentially the same, the difference in
language was barrier which could
not be overcome. There was no
disposition by either side to blame
the other for the breakdown in the
negotiations and the failure to
reach an agreement. 1t was a mat
ter of mutual regret, it was under
stood"
1t should be a comparatively
simple matter in these days of
tremendous sacrifice, for these two
organizations to clarity their Ian
guage since that, admittedly, is all
that holds them from a mutually
acceptable basis of cooperation.

RADIANT LIVING
THE UNBURDENED LIFE
By REV. C. M. GRIFFETH
Pastor Methodist Church, CeciIton, Md.

Have you ever seen a picture Of
a safari- treaking through some
African Jungle? Do you remember
how that long line of natives
marched across the scene in single
file, each one carrying upon his
back some heavy burden of bag
gage?
Such a picture is illustrative of
a phase of American life. Many
there are who mentally are on a
daily march, carrying a heavy
bundle. Some indeed, have bundles
so heavy that they are nearly
crushed to earth by their weight.
The bundles differ in size but the
content of each bundle is the same.
1t is trouble.
God, however, never intended
man to be a bearer of a crushing
bundle of trouble. He created man
to be a master not a slave, to be
free not shackled. to be happy not
sad.
But how different life is today
from what God intended it to be!
The sorrows of our lives have
touched the heart of God. He
seeks to relieve us of these crush
ing bundles of trouble.
l am confident of this because
the Christ has given to every
bundle bearer this gracious invita-
ton: Come unto me all ye that
are heavy laden. and l will give
you rest"
Another assurance that God
wants us to be relieved of the
weight of trouble is His declara-
ton to Paul, land through Paul to
you) MY grace is sufficient for
you"
1t is true that you can not avoid
meeting trouble. But you can re-
sist it leaping upon your back and
riding you as though you were a
slave. sapping your strength by its
wenght and finally crushing your
spirit into hopeless pessimism.
Face your troubles. therefore, not
with resignation. but with resist
ance. Resolve that you will not
permit yourself to be mastered by
your troubles. but that you will
master them by an increased faith !
n Divine hsustaining grace.
Troubles can not burden the back /
1f a faith-filled mind.

DELAWARE'S FARM
FRONT THIS WEEK

Delaware's 4943 crop of soy
beans for oil and meal have been
give ma support price of $3.50 per
bushel yellow beans having a II
per cent moisture contenD by the
Food Production and Distribution
Administration. The 1912 crop sup
port price was $1.6O per bushel and
the 1943 price had been tentatively
fixed at s1.70.
Incentive Payments
Funds have been made available
by the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency for incentive payments to
Delaware farmers who plant po-
tatoes and truck crops. both i'm
portant war crops in this State.
This action was taken after Con-
gress failed to appropriate special
funds for this purpose.
An incentive payment of $50 per
acre will be paid on truck crops
for ninety to 10 per cent of the
individual farmers acreage goal
The incentive payment on potatoes
will be fifty cents per bushel for
ninety to 10 per cent of the farm
goal. based on the average yield.
Delaware farmers have purchas-
ed $50 tons of soil conservation ma
terials through their State Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency since
July /, 1912. it was reported today
by Clarence E. Ocheltree, chairman
of the Delaware Agriculture Ad-
justment Agency, in charge of con-
servation materials. This figure
does not include materials purchas-
ed by farmers directly from deal
ers.
Release Fencing
All rationing restrictions on wire
fencing have been removed, Clar-
ence f. Ocheltree. chairman of the
Delaware United States Department
of Agriculture War Board ,announ-
ced today. These materials may
now be purchased by the farmer
without priorities or certificates of
purchase.
Plenty
Under the agricultural conser-
vatiOn program of the Agricultural
Adjustment Agency the farmers of
Delaware and the other farming
states increased their output of food
from 81 per cent of normal, during
the ten years preceding the AAA
to 1851 per cent of the
base during the ten years the pro-
gram has been in operation. More
over, the average American ate
per cent more in 1941 and 1912 than
during the sO-called prosperity
years of 1928 and 1929.
Canning Supplies
Farm wives in Delaware are as
sured an ample supply of glass ,
Jars and rings for the record home

Z. Ocheltree, of the State USDA

ual specifications, are now being
turned out for military purposes
on a standardized mass production
basis. In fact, the wide variety of
uses found by the Army, Navy and
Air Corps for trailer equipment
will undoubtedly stimulate future
peacetime use because of increased
iiexibility and efficiency. Rapid
engineering and material develop
ments, such as the field of plastics,
open up interesting conjectures for
possibilities in the period ahead.

requirements since it can be
