Revise Diploma Rule
To Aid Service Boys
Education Board Says Pupils Com
pleting Junior Year Eligible

High school students of the state
who successfully complete their
junior year before being inducted
into the armed forces will receive
their diplomas as if they had grad
uated. the State Board of Education
ruled last Friday. Under the form
er rule, only seniors whose stu
dies were carried into January with
satisfactory marks were entitled to
their diplomas at graduation time
if called into or volunteering for
any of the services.
The change made last Friday
puts the state school students on
the same basis as students of Will
mington schools called to serve in
the armed forces,
The action was taken on an ap-
peal in the case of Joseph Graham,
New Castle. who was inducted last
November and. under the former
ruling, would not receive his di-
ploma as he had not remained at
his senior studies into January.
The boys mother. stressing that
the granting of a diploma is sig
nificant as a morale builder, asked
reconsideration of the existing reg
ulation.
Jacob Fl. Spiecher, a member of
the state board and president of
the New Castle Board of Educa-
tion. submitted a letter from DR..
w. H. Lemmel explaining that in
Wilmington schools any twelfth
grade student in good standing is
permitted his diploma is called into
service.
Graham, his mother said, is soon
due for overseas service.
U. S. Representative Earle d.
Wiley, in communication to the
board, advised that he will main
tain contact with developments in
regard to. a national compulsory
training law and express
ed himself as hoping that there
will be no interruption of high
school education of boys affected"

Prices For
Poultry Are
! n CT e a S G d
By OPA Order
Ceiling Raised 1.8 Cents
A Pound For Balance
Of April And % Cents
Per Pound For Month
Of May.

The anticipated increase in cell
ing prices for poultry was made
effective last Friday when prices
were raised is cents a pound, for
the balance of April, the OPA an
nOunced.
The increase for next month will
be 2.2 cents above the ceilings eff
fective until last Friday, and in
June the prices will be l cent
above the previous level. The cell
ings revert in July to those pre-
viOusly in effect, and the same lin
its are set for the balance of the
year.
The OPA indicated a program of
increases for January through June
of 1945.
The increases are effective at all
levels of distribution except retail.
Because retailers must recalculate
prices on perishables each Thurs
day, the increases will take effect
on retail sales next Thursday. and
will be passe dalong by retailers
in the markup they are permitted
to add to their wholesale costs.
The price increase, it was point
ed out. has no effect on the situ-
alton of live poultry buyers. who
have been requesting a wider pro-
fit margin. No action on their case
has been announced since the meet
ing at the Delaware OPA Offices a
week before last when recommen-
dations were made by poultry pro-
cessOrs and by the live buyers.
