bring the food they want frozen to
the plant-the fruits sugared and
the vegetables blanched - and all
they do after that is go to the lock-

FOR
FARMS SHARED
USDA War Board Announces
Plan for Counties to Share
Farm Machinery
ON BASIS OF NEED

Steps have been taken by the
Delaware United States Department
of Agriculture War Board to move
farm machinery from counties
where the rationing quota exceeds
the demand, into counties where
the demand exceeds the quota
within the state of Delaware. Clar-
ence E. Ocheltree, chairman of the
War Board, announced that the
county farm rationing committees
have been instructed to permit
dealers to sell surplus machines, al
lotted under quotas to their own
county to buyers in other counties
The dealer is to give his own coun-
ty farm rationing committee two
weeks notice that the machines are
on his sales floors. The ruling
takes effect June 80.
Eligible For Loans
Delaware farmers, who grow
wheat this year under the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency war-food
production and soil-conservation
program and store it for the ma
tion's Ever-Normal Granary, will
be eligible for Commodity Credit
Corporation loans nine cents per
bushel above 1912 loans. Delaware
wheat of Grade No. 2 will have a
loan value of S1.43 per bushel. Last
year 1,011 Delaware farmers stored
433, 1876 bushels of wheat under
Commodity Credit Corporation
loans. They liquidated these loans
during the winter and spring at a
profit over their loans.
Little Shipment
Ocheltree predicts very little
of Delaware wheat out of
the state this year because of the
transportation situation and the
high war goals for meat and dairy
production in Delaware. Loans will
be made through the county offices
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Agency.

OPA COMPLETES
FOOD CEILINGS
Schedules in Use Throughout
Entire Stats; First in
U. S. Price Fixing
PRICE PANELS AIDING

Dollars and cents ceiling prices
on foods were effective throughout
Delaware Monday, when the new
schedules took effect in the area
north of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal, outside Wilmington
Prices were established for Will
mington on May "a. On June Ii
commodity prices were fixed for the
area south of the Chesapeake and
Delaware aCnal, and effective Mon
day prices north of the canal, ex-
elusive of Wilmington were fixed
Charles w. Hardesty, state OPA
director, said that this final setting
of prices makes Delaware the first
and only state in the United States
to have complete statewide price
fixing on food commodities.
Won't Be Overcharged
Officials of the OPA said house
wives throughout Delaware can
now go to their local stores con-
fident of not being overcharged, for
each store owner is required to post
the class to which his store belongs,
whether small, large, independent,
or chain the ceiling on each COM
modify, and in the case of meats,
butter and eggs, the grade he offers
for sale. In this way the customer
can check the prices asked by the
storekeeper aaginst those set by
the government. If the store asks
more than the ceiling specified for
"a particular item, the OPA said,
the customer can and should bring
this fact to the attention of the
sales person.
Price Panels Aid
If serious abuses are discovered
by the customer which the store
owner refused to remedy, the mat
ter should be taken up with the
price panel attached to the local
war price and rationing board
which will investigate the problem.
Consumers and retailers wishing
more copies of the price lists may
secure them from their local ration
tion board. The voluntary price
panels set up as an adjunct to each
rationing board are now aiding ma
'terially in the effort to keep the
ocst of living down as a liaison
group between the public, the OPA,
and local boards.

MAYOR UPHELD
AT MIDDLETOWN
w. w. Buckingham is Tem-
pOrarily Restored as
Mayor of Town
SUPERIOR COURT RULING

Magistrate Warren w. Bucking-
ham was temporarily restored to
the office of mayor of Middeltown
as the result of an opinion handed
down in Superior Court Monday.
The opinion was written by Judge
Charles L. Terry, Jr. Judge Terry,
however, gave the respondents COM
prising the Town Council until July
8 to file an amended or further an
Swer. He stated in the event it is
not filed as of that date sit is my
opinion that the averments as set
forth in the REALTORS petition are
sufficient for the granting of the
prayer therein and a writ will issue
in accordance" The court action
filed by Buckingham was a petition
for a writ of mandamus. The case
grew out of the action of the Town
Council holding that Buckingham's
election as Mayor was not valid
under the state law which prohib-
its a judge or justice of the peace
from being a candidate for an elec-
tive office within six months before
vacating the judicial office.
Levinson Takes Post
The Town Council elected Louis
Levinson, who was defeated at the
town election last March, to take
Buckingham's place. Judge Terry
declared that under the majority
rue the issuance of the writ in this
type case does not determine the
ultimate right to possession. 1T
merely grants the right of the hold
er of a certificate of election who
has since duly qualified under the
law, and l might further add that
in a proper action in the nature of
a quo warranto the temporary title
to the office of mayor that 1 have
herein vested in the relator subject
to the filing of a further answer by
the respondents, might prove to be
an idle gesture, or, in other words,
a useless thing" Judge Terry stat
ed. BE that as it may, the con-
clusion reached exemplifies fairness
and Justice under the Circumstance
es as here presented, if the admin
istrative functions of the munich
pality are to operate in an orderly
fashion,"

BOARD URGES
TICK CONTROL
State Board of Health Warn
Bite of Tick Can Cause
Spotted Fever
FOUR CASES REPORTED

Precaution against tick bites
which may cause dangerous Rock,
Mountain spotted fever, have beer
advised by the Delaware State
Board of Health. Although only
one tick in several hundred may
carry the virus of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever, that tick cannot bt
recognized among the others, anc
precautions should be taken in al
tick bites. Four cases of the dis
ease, scattered throughout the
state, have already been reported
this year, and one person died last
week from the disease.
Found in Vacant Lots
Ticks may also be found IL
towns as well as in woods anc
fields. Burning off vacant lots ant
keeping weeds cut or pulled up viii
help in destroying the tick menace
Ticks are usually picked up from
grass and weeds near the ground
Ticks also feed on dogs and some
times cats and rabbits. Pets should
be busted every five days, with der.
ris powder and, if seen, the ticks
should be removed with tweezers
or rubber gloves. An examination
of the body as we'll as the feet anc
legs for ticks is advisable since
ticks often work their way upward
before attaching. themselves.
Must Be Attached to Hours
People are warned not to become
unduly alarmed if they find tick
because it must be attached five OF
six hours and must be infected with
the spotted fever in order to trans
init the disease. Remove the tick
with forceps, tweezers or rubber
gloves to keep the blood of the tick
off your hands. If these are not
available use a piece of paper and
then be sure to scrub your hands
well afterwards, warns the State
Board of Health. Next take a
toothpick or the sharpened end OF
a match stick dip in phenol or
iodine ard turn the stick in the
tick bite hole in order to cauterize
the tissue. If the tick is not easily
removed, see doctor at once.
Special Vaccine
Special vaccine exists for the pre-
vention of Rock Mountain spotted
fever for those living in districts
where there are many ticks. A
new serum for use in combating
the disease after it has been con-
tracted has also been developed.

WAR WORKERS
FACE GAS LOSS
Check at bravo, Wilmington,
Reveals Share the Ride
Promise Not Kept
SCORES NOT SHARING"

Rationing boards in Delaware
have been notified by OPA attor-
neys not to issue supplemental gas
oline to workers who live within
reasonable walking distance of
their plants. A maximum of two
miles is considered within the def
ntion of reasonable walking dis
tance. Attorneys in the Delaware
OPA office also intend to turn over
to the ration boards and the trans
portation manager of the Dravo
plant in Wilmington the names of
car owners whose vehicles were OBJ
served entering and leaving the
plant ON three occasions, each con-
tanning either only the driver, or
the driver and one passenger. War
workers who get supplemental gas,
OPA attorneys sad, are supposed to
participate in the share-your-car
plan but apparently scores of driv-
'ers are not doing their sharing" !"
The transportation Office at bravo
will be asked to investigate these
cases.
First Check May IL
1t was revealed that OPA agents
made their first check at the Beech
Street entrance of Dravo on May
12. At least rs cars-all outward
bound-carrying either B or c
stickers were not taking part in the
share-yourcar plan. Of that num-
ber, Al had only the driver, and 81
had the driver and one passenger
each. The next survey was made
June II when 1876 outward bound
cars were checked. Of that num-
ber, AZ had a driver and one pas
senger each, and 81 cars had just
the drivers. Last Friday, the third
check was made = 253 in bound
cars. The agents found that 105
cars had drivers and one passenger
each and 148 cars just the drivers.
Other Checks Made
OPA attorneys said that similar
checks are to be made at other war
plants. These workers have obtain
ed their extra gas supply on the
promise that they will take other
workers to the plants, attorneys
said.
