FARM LABORERS.
BROUGHT HERE
FSA To Bring Farm Labor
ers to Delaware Within
Next Week
TO AID LOCAL FARMERS

The Farm Security Administra-
ton has just announced through
the Dover Office, which services
Kent and New Castle Counties in
Delaware, that twenty-five heads
of farm families are to be brought
to the Dover area within the next
week for location on farms within
the above named counties. These
men will arrive within the next
week. Applications for laborers
already received in the Dover Office
almost equal the number to be
brought in at this time. Due to
the scarcity of farm labor, it will
be well for those desiring additional
help to call at the Dover Office,
which is located in the basement of
the Post Office Building, and make
application at once, according to j.
l.. Soper, Rural Rehabilitation SUI
pervisor.
To Serve Farmers
The Farm Security Adlninistra-
ton is endeavoring to place year
round labor in the hope that the
farmers thus served will be able to
produce the maximum amount of
food and feed in line with the Mutt
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture goals. The laborers will be
transported to the farms for the
purpose of entering into agree
ments with the farmers as to wages
and living conditions. This trans
portation will be provided by the
Farm Security Administration.

SALE OF USED
FARM MACHINES
Important Changes AnnOunc.
ed by USDA War Board to
Affect Farm Sales
TO CHECK INITIATION

Important changes regulating
the sale of used farm machinery
and equipment became effective re-
Gently throughout the country, ac-
cording to an announcement which
has been received by the Kent
County USDA War Board from the
Office of Price Administration in
Washington. With reference to the
sale of farm equipment by farmers,
auctioneers, or any other persons
except dealers, ceiling prices now
apply to tractors Except the craw-
Ter type), combines, corn pickers,
corn binders and hay balers, both
motor and tractor operated. When
one of these machines is sold less
than year from the time when it
was sold as a new machine the cell
ing price is So percent of its base
price, and in every other case its
ceiling price is 20 percent of the
base price. The base price has
been designated as the last publish
ed suggested retail price of the
manufacturer for the same model.
In those rare instances where no
such price exists, or never has ex-
listed, the base price is that for
which the same or nearest equival-
ent machine might be sold new by
any dealer in the locality less the
carload freight from the factory.
Distinction Made
Distinction is made between used
machines which dealers completely
recondition and guarantee and
those which they do not guarantee.
Where dealers do not recondition
and guarantee this machinery their
prices cannot exceed the purchase
price, or the allowance given in a
. trade, or the balance due, if repos-
sessed, plus SIS or 5 percent, which
ever is greater, plus the maximum
prices for any parts and labor en-
ployed in repairing the machine. For
the five so-called critical farm ma
chimes listed above the sum of these
may not exceed So percent of the
base price if the machine was sold
less than year ago, and rs per-
cent in any other case. To this
ceiling price so computed may be
added the cost of transportation
where the machine has been ship
ped a distance of over 100 miles
from the point of purchase.
Protection of Farmer
In order that the skyrocketing
prices for used farm machinery can
be held to the ceiling basis for the
protection of farmers and the
checking of imitation, the County
USDA War Board advocates that
all buyeors and sellers abide by
these administrative rulings to
avoid the reporting of violations.

URGE FARMERS
TO TAKE COURSE
Farmers Face Critical Ma
chinery Shortage; Course
at O'Neills Garage
ADVISE CAREFUL CHECK

Farmers must act quickly in or
der to repair or recondition their
machinery in order to avoid break
down while the machine is in use,
when spare parts are all sold, and
when no mechanics are available,
according to Paul M. Hodgson,
State Supervisor of Vocational Ag-
riculture. All farmers are urged
to attend the Farm Machinery Re-
pair Course, sponsored by the
Smyrna School, and held at Bud
O'Neill's Garage, every Monday,
and Wednesday evenings
from 700 until 1000 o'clock. Pres
ent plans are to terminate the
course near the first of April.

Standpipe OverfiOws

The standpipe here overlooked
last week, flooding the cellar of
Thornley's factory, and necessitat-
ing the aid of Smyrna firemen. The
low temperature at that time caus-
ed some of the overflow to freeze,
attracting many visitors to view
the icy landscape. Because the
furnace was damaged by the flood,
work at the factory was suspended
for one day.

FUND DRIVE TO
BEGIN MONDAY
Solicitors to Canvass Town
For Contributions to Red
Cross Drive
GENEROSITY URGED

Beginning Monday, the Smyrna
Branch of the Delaware Chapter of
the American Red Cross, will begin
a drive to meet Smyrna's quota of
$4,000, as the twon's part of the Ma
ttions War Fund Campaign. So
licitors, contributing freely of their
time, will canvass every resident of
this community. Contributions
should not be only in keeping with
what one has been giving in the
past, but in order to successfully
attain our objective, and prove to
cur boys that the home front is in
back of the organization so very
essential to their welfare, we must
double that contribution" said
George w. Wright, chairman of the
Red Cross War Fund Campaign
here
Zach Must Do His aPrt"
eff each of us do our part in plac-
ing the Red Cross in position to
render full and complete aid in
every phase of civilian disaster and
on every front of military activity
we can then, and only then, feel
complete satisfaction. The Red
Cross is ready anytime and any
where to answer the call of suffer
ing humanity. Only where disaster
has ben actually felt can the SER
vices of the Red eros be fully ap-
preciated," said Mr.. Wright.
Aid and Comfort
Let us express our thankfulness,
that our community has never had
a disaster, thus enabling the Red
Cross to show the actual work the
organization can do, by contribut-
ing to the fullest extent to this
War Fund Drive. At the same time
we will be extending organized aid
and assistance to the less fortunate
of our fellow man.
Don't Say No
Don't say mo" to the solicitors"
urged Mr.. Wright. Give freely.
We might need the Red Cross
sometime here at home as it is
urgently needed now, throughout
other sections of the world"

Uncle Ruy's Corner

The French language gave US our
word "onion," but the French got
their word from Italy. The old Latin
name used in Italy for this vege-
table had the meaning Of pearl"
If we take an onion apart, we can
see q reason for it to be compared
to pearl. The parts under the
outer coating have coloring some
thing like that Of a pearl.
Onions are related to the flowers
known as lilies. Yes, they are In
the lily family, but they have q
different smell!
The sharp odor of the onion
comes from an oil in the bulb. When
this oil Is exposed to the air much Of
it will turn into vapor. If there is
a good deal of the vapor it Is likely
to make a persons eyes water, and
that is one way to "cry" without
having felt sad In the first place.
When onions are cooked they lose
most of their odor. Boiled onions
are easy to digest and the person
who eats them need have little fear
that his breath will carry q strong
message.
Yet raw onions have their place.
They have some health-giving values
not present in those which are
cooked. If members Of family are
worried about onions on the breath"
they can stay home that evening.
If every one in the family eats raw
onions Cts saidO no one will notice
them-unless an unexpected visitor
turns up.
Onions have been grown In gardens
for more than 1000 years. The
ancient Egyptians raised them, and
so did the Greeks and Romans.
Besides the common white onion
there are "red" and yellow" onions.
Red onions have very strong.
sharp taste, but tests have shown
that while the bulbs are in the
ground they are better able to resist
mildew and meek rot"
Spanish onions are popular be-
cause they are mild. Other important
kinds are the Bermuda and Portu-
guese.
Onions which are picked while
young are milder than those left in
the ground to reach full size. The
latter, however, have special value
because they can be stored and used
months later.
Many gardeners use "onion sets"
instead of seeds. In other words
they buy very young plants which
have been grown by others from
seeds.
It is remarkable how far onion
seeds will go. With one pound Of
seeds you may obtain four tons Of
onions-but perhaps you won't need
that many of them!

West expected a substantial pen
atty, and while East didn't care
much for the double he could not
veto his partners choice.
West opened the heart king and
got his first jolt when North put
down the king-jack Of clubs back
Of his queen. The second shock was
when South ruffed his next lead Of
the heart ace.
South led a club and finessed
dummy's jack, discarded a spade on
dummy's heart queen and led a low
diamond from dummy. East rushed
in with the ace, and West, anxious
to discourage another diamond lead
since ruff would only take away
his trump trick, signaled a little
too violently with the spade eight.
Dutifully, East led the spade jack.
South covered with the queen, and
West took his king, exiting with q
trump. Dummy's king won, and
South blasted Vests last hope of q
safe exit by leading the last heart
and ruf1ng 1t in his hand. He then
cashed the club ace and led the
diamond king. West tried to stay out
by discarding another spade, but
South led his last trump, and West
had cause to regret his prodigality
with the spade eight. If he led low
spade, dummy's nine would hold the
trick and permit the cashing Of the
diamond queen. The best West
could do was lead the spade ten
and hope that East would turn uI
with the seven spot. It was South
