MILLIONS OF MOUTHS TO FEED

Our boys in khaki, our sailors and
marines, our brave Allies-the mil
lions of them who are fighting our
fight, must be fed. Right here in
Milford We have the opportunity,
the responsibility. and the privilege
of helping to do the job of keeping
their bodies fit, and their spirits
high by sending them the kind of
food they need
Canned foods are important in
war for they carry the product of
our own fields right to the boys who
are giving so much that this world
may be a decent place to live in.
The harvesting of the canning
crops is the first step but these
crops still are useless unless they
are canned. So it's a double job to
be done in double-quick time. For
a few weeks it means working
hard. 1t means aching backs, sore
hands. and often. encouragement.
But we'll go on. all of us, until the
last tomato and the last bean is in
the can. Because not one of us
will forget-nor want to forget
that the food front is a war front,
too.
This is the battle of food. Our
own private way of getting crack
at the enemy. Less spectaculas and
far less dangerous than standing
behind a gun. but as Claude r.
Wickard. Secretary of Agriculture,
puts it. "as important as bullets in
the war"
We wish we could send a personal
message to every one of the boys
and men wro have left Milford to
fight this war. telling them that
their own neighbors of Milford are
picking and canning the biggest
crops in history-that. if it depends
on us. they will lack for nothing so
long as we can stand on our two
feet.
When the canning crops are
ready. we must all put our shoul-
lers to the wheel and help. be-
cause there are not enough workers I
to do the job unless we do. !

persons during periods of black
out and air raid.
Since the above dates, these fed
eral regulations were enforcible
only in federal courts.
1t never occurred to the state
dimout director that loyal and pa
triotic Delawareans would not i'm
mediately and gladly comply with
the above regulations established
for our own protection and widely
publicized, but. in spite of numer-
GUS appeals to their patriotism.
many of our citizens disregarded
and ignored them.
Therefore. it was imperative that
state law be provided to compel
compliance with these protective
regulations. This was done by act
of the General Assembly, known as
the State Council of Defense Act.
Under the powers of this act, Gov
ernor Walter w. Bacon on April %,
1913, issued Public Proclamation
No. /, making all of the present
blackout and dimout regulations of
General Terry effective and enfor-
chile in Delaware in our state
courts as well as in the federal
courts as of May 1, 1943, and charg-
ing all persons within the state
with the duty and responsibility
to familiariZe themselves with the
terms of the proclamation and to
comply with its orders, rules, and
regulations.
The publication of the procla-
nation of the Governor of Della /
ware. now on display at every Sc
Iective service local board, post
Office, court house and town hall, !
is official and legal notice to the |
state police and all other law en-
forcement officers within the state
to enforce these regulations imme-
diateyl and strictly by arresting
all violatOrs.
1t behOoves all of us to comply
with all of the air raid protection
regulations and to bring all arti-
fetal lighting under our control
within the requirements of the reg
ulations. This means in our homes,
where lights shall not be visible
from the outside; in our stores
and other places of business, in
poultry plants. factories, farms,
and motor vehicle lights. One of
he glaring violations has been the
use of high-beam driving
lights and the failure to keep the
upper One-halif of headlight lenses
)lacked out. Also, there has been
/ noticeable failure of residents to
lraw their window shades so that
lights within their homes are con-
.ealed. Another is the failure to
or properly shade var
GUS types of outdoor lighting, {
uch as porch lights, yard, and area I
lights. S
The penalties for violation of
ny of the dimOut or blackout reg c
lations now effective are extreme ]
y severe, including both fine and {
t
The state dimout director makes s
his as an urgent and final appeal a
D all Delawareans to comply with '
hese regulations, designed for the C
rejection of our own and our ?
eighbors' lives and property, and
void the disgrace and stigma of f
rrest and Imprisonment for what j
lay be aid and comfort for our
nemies. C

Just as everything else is be-
ing done in a different manner,
so these exercises have had a
different pattern from former
years. This has been done in
order that the boys, who will
be leaving in a few days for
the service of their country,
may have some part in the fl
male of their school days. Cir
cumstances have thinned the
ranks of the Glass of 1943.
Otherwise it would have been
