vice men are admitted during a
term, they will be given an inform
al program of work composed of

500 WORKERS
TO AID FARMERS
$40 Bahamians and Jamacians
Now Aiding Harvest of
State Crops
SCHOOL GIRLS HELP

Nearly 500 farm workers from
the Bahamas and Jacaica arrived
in Delaware Monday, bringing to
about $40 the total of workers
fro mthose islands aiding the har-
vesting of Delaware crops. The
arrival of the large contingent
made it necessary to open two ad-
ditional camps for them, George M.
Worrilow, assistant director of the
Extension Service at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, said. The Wood
side camp, a few miles below Do
yer, has been reopened to accom-
modate 184 Jamaicans, and a new
camp has been established at Stay
louisville, four miles from Milford,
to house 200 more.
Smyrna times., 1944-06-29
Considered Individual

Each service man will be consid-
cred as an individual and plans
made to suit his particular case.
If he entered the service while at
tending college, he will be admit
ted exactly as if he had not left
except to be given such refresher
courses as are necessary. A high
school graduate without college ex-
perience will be regarded as if he
had just been graduated. If the
applicant left high school before
graduation to enter the armed SER
vice, he will be tested to determine
whether he should be admitted
without condition, admitted to take
refresher courses, or advised to re-
turn to high school.
Smyrna times., 1944-06-29
To Pick Beans, Apples

Also in the latest contingent to
arrive are 100 Bahamans, who will
be assigned to the Cool Springs
camp, doubling the number of
these workers at the camp. There
are also 275 other Jamaicans in
southern Delaware, being housed
privately on farms. The newly i'm
ported farm workers are expected
to start picking the string bean
crop and the early apples. They
will remain throughout the season,
harvesting each crop as it natures.
The workers living at the three
camps are assigned to farmers
needing them in accordance with
arrangements made with the ex-
tension service.
Smyrna times., 1944-06-29
Credit For Courses

Credit for courses in Army or
Navy Institutes will be given a
liberal Interpretation, depending on
the training received. If a demand
exists for night courses or exten-
sion courses, these will be set up
as needed. Because of the import
ance of treating each returned SER
vice man as an individual, a Coun-
selling Service Bureau, with DR.. I.
A. jackson as Chairman, is provid-
ed for the purpose of interviewing
each applicant to help him in plan
ming his program and in deciding
on his vocation, as well as for the
purpose of giving advice and help
to the Committee on Admissions.

To Live at Schools

Mr.. WorriloW said that from rs
to 100 girls will go to Milford and
like number will go to Bridge
vile. They will be housed in mod
ern school buildings of the two
towns, where they will be able to
use all school facilities, including
the cafeterias, school libraries, ten
mis- courts, and volleyball fields.
The girls, who are from private,
parochial, and public schools of
Wilmington and the suburbs, are
among more than 1000 girls of
the area who have indicated a de-
sire to help get in the crops this
summer. Miss Mray McCloskey,
physical education teacher for girls
at Wilmington High School, was in
charge of recruiting the girls for
the Victory Farm Volunteers of
the U. S. Crop Corps.

School Girls Help

Another war-emergency farm Ia
Dor group will go into action next
week, when the Wilmington school
girl members of the Victory Farm
Volunteers will leave for Milford
and Bridgeville. From IT'S to 200
of the girls are now scheduled to
leave on Sunday, one week later
than originally contemplated.
Farmers believe the string beans
will be ready for the girls to start
picking the following day, July 8.
The girls also will help to pick the
early apples.

more at the time Dan had u
away. He'd only opened up here be.
cause Dan had run away and his
mother insisted on having a son
at hand. He was glad he'd come
back to Weston now, although his
mother was gone. The eastern
shore was his world and his time
in Baltimore had been conclusive
proof of it. He belonged here.
And now Dan vas back. He
seemed to fill Russell's mind as he
apologized to Miss Tiller for keep
ing her so late and took her home
in consequence. Miss Tiller was
about his age and had a bony
face and high-bridged nose which
always made him think OF a boat,
Her father did have a little boat
yard and built WORK boats for oys-
termen, and small sailing yachts
Miss Tiller affected a great scorn
of water and all that floated upon
it, but she was a very good legal
stenographer. Russell considered
himself quite lucky to get her.
since she had worked in both Bal
timore and Philadelphia, where she
had naturally earned more money
than he could pay.
Once Miss Tiller wa dropped at
her door and Russell had refused
her mothers invitation to stay to
supper he crossed the railroad
tracks of the discontinued line
which had run on to Ocean City
and turned by the high school into
| the Talbot road. It was a lovely
1O-mile drive home. The road swept
between wheat fields, through love-
ly stretches of woodland, noisy and
beautiful with spring, and across
the lovely mirrorlike back reaches
of water. Peachblossom Creek.
| What a lovely name for a lovely
stretch of water framed by great
clumps of trees. He laughed as he
paused to watch the sinking sun
cross a broad field on the next rise.
There were sheep grazing, and cat
tie and horses. A Few pigs grunted
contentedly by a fence that was
almost buried under wild honey
suckle vines. Soon h air would be
heavy with the fragrance and the
warm breeze would sing with the
hum of bees.
With a laugh he broke off his
thoughts. Dan was affecting him as
he al ways had since Dan was a kid
who didn't want to do arithmetic
and preferred studying about flow
erS and birds. Russell remembered
spanking Dan for staying out of
school. 1t had been hard 10 do, but
he'd done it thoroughly, as he did
everything which he belt we'd to be
his duty. Dan had worn at him
and so had beer spanked some
more. Dan had finally laughed at
him and said. IN forget this, but
I'll always remember the birds |

RUSSELL SMITH was a busy
nan all day in Weston, as only a
young, serious lawyer a be. Court
term was beginning soon and ne
had a number of cases to argue. He
had been very fortunate 10th IN the
number of cases he had gotten ana
IN the quality of them.
Young lawyers usually got what
older ones didn't want to handle
for one reason or another, but he
had not only cases he coulc take
a real interest in. cases he u
believe in, but also clients who were
willing and able to pay. 1t was a
side of his affairs he had no inten-
ton of %neglecting. And the idea OF
losing a case didn't occur 20 MN.
Already he had established himself
as a lawyer who O He intended
to go on winning.
So he was too busy to lunch with
Laura Reynolds even when she got
him on the phone and told him II

was so deep in things he couldn't
break away. Can. you tell me
over the phone" he concluded.
mo, 1 most certainly can't she
answered, and hung up at once. He
thought of ringing her back, but
decided against t. After all, he was
busy and he didn't see why any
body couldn't say anything over
the phone, unless it was something
highly improper. He smiled a little
at the thought of Laura Reynolds
doing or wanting to say anything
improper.
He lunched at his desk on a
sandwich and a very rich matted
milk. He didn't think matted mllks
with extra ice cream in them were
very dignifed, so he only INDUCED
In the privacy of his Office when
Miss Tiller, his stenographer, was

from Laura, even though he saw
her every day and they We're en-
gagged. He didn't talk al ut himself
to her and, to be exact, she didn't
talk about herself to him. She

| of the moment and he talked about
his cases, but that was all. Each
knew what the other was doing,
but not what the other was think
ing. 1t had always seemed a sensi-
BILE, dignified way of doing. He had
no intention of sitting holding her
hands and "sighing like a furnace"
He was quite sure Shakespeare
was hooking such Stiffness when he
wrote the line ending, with a Woe
full ballad made to his mistress
eyebrow"
But still he and Laura haG been
a strange engaged couple for five
years now. Last night for a mo-
ment he had suddenly felt very
near to her. He had wanted to
! catch her in his arms And she had
only wanted to tell Anne Wilson
she was not wanted. Anne Wilson.
The name slipped nicely off the
tongue, and Eleanor Bancroft had
seemed to back up Mrs. Reynolds
opinion of her. Laura, on her side.
had been brusque, if not actually
rude. He had noticed Harry Ban
croft glancing up at her In his
quiet way. He valued the opinions
of Harry and Eleanor Bancroft.
Likewise he valued Mrs. Reynolds
| opinion when it was as definite as
it had been last night.
He was frank with himself, as he
could be on occasion. He didn't like
the way Laura had acted on COM
plete prejudice. 1t was quite true
no one knew anything about this
Anne Wilson beyond the fact that
after several days at the inn Elean-
or Bancroft had liked her enough
to recommend hef to Mrs. Reynolds
and want her to stay in Talbot.
Why should Laura have decided
ipso facto that Anne would not do?
Wasn't Laura being unkind, if not
presumptuous, in countermandlng
her mothers express wishes? And
why should Laura want Mrs.
Slots, who was called an old witch
by more people than her mother?
He was glad he had decided not to
lunch with Laura, at least until he
had e this Anne Wilson for HIM
self.
With that much settled In his
mind. he finished his lunch, hid the
matted milk container under a
newspaper in his wastebasket so
Miss Tiller wouldn't notice, and
took up his work again with re-
newed eagerness 1t wasn't until
6 o'clock that he remembered he
wasn't eating at his restaurant in
Weston, but going home to Talbot.
He was having dinner with Dan.

once. 1t was years since he'd had
