a small row boat they were in
swamped in a strong tide about
mile of Fowler's Beach
in the Delaware Bay.
The two had been fishing with
Frank James Wilson. police officer
of Georgetown, about a half hour
when they decided to return to
shore because of the strong tide
and the choppy water.
Brothers Jump From Boat
I'VE had just started back when
the waves began coming over the
side of the boat" Wilson said. "The
two brothers jumped from the boat
as it went under the water and
James grabbed me around the
neck"
I'VE both went under and ! al
most lost consciousness before l
could pull myself loose from James

Wilson then started swimming
for shore and was assisted by JOS

prices are permitted. the car is
warranted to be in good operating
condition, and to remain in such
condition under normal use and
service for period of 80 days after
delivery, or 1000 miles. whichever

Only dealers who are equipped to
fulfill the terms of the warranty,
which provides for repairs and re-
placements under specified condi-
tiOns, are permitted to charge the
warranty price. The OPA will de-
termine which dealers are equip
ped.

not equipped to repair and recon-
dition cars and who do not main
tain a place for display of used

Fodder Saving Keeps
State Farmers Busy

To Long Drought

With the arrival of September
come watermelon parties. fodder
saving and cider time.
Corn fields have rapidly matur-
ed due to the long, dry weather
and those who are fortunate to
have a fodder crop are now har-
vesting it. In most sections. the
corn and fodder crop are far be-
low normal. this year being one of
the most unreasonable in five years.
The continued dry weather. with
but little rain for several weeks,
prevented the corn from getting
the proper growth and naturally
the blades and stalks were kept
from getting the growth that they
otherwise would.
Years ago it was customary to
strip the blades and top the fOd-
der aud bundle them at the same
time. For the past thirty years.
however. it has been different. Far
mers pay but little attention to the
blades. but in many cases top the
