IN MEMORIALS

In loving memory Of vi be-
loved father, Adam N. Braxton.
who died September 9, 1912.
The world may change from year
year to year-Our lives from
day to day.
The love of memory Of you dear
shall never fade away.
We shall forever think of you
and of the way you died,
And that you could not say good
bye before you closed your
eyes.
The blow was hard, the shock Sc
we're, | never thought your
death SO near.
And only those who have lost
can tell, the pain of parting
without farewell.
Sadly Missed by Children.

his crew of workmen without
proper supervision.
The supervisor upon returning
to work the next day, was laid
off by his department head for
a two-day period, but upon re-
viewing this decision, higher
management determined that
this was insufficient punishment
for a men who had not only
flouted his own responsibility but
had involved another employee by
his eample. Accordingly, he was
given his choice of returning to
his tools as a journeyman or ac-
ceptlng a discharge. The super
visor accepted the latter.
Some of the workers of the de-
partment took exception to this
action on the part of management
and demanded the superior's re-
instatement. They were advised
that this was a management mat

the contract with the unions they
had no jurisdiction over the SUI
pervlsor. They were further adj
vised that the management could
not negotiate with union repre-
sentatives over the matter. but
that company representatives
would be very glad to explain
the reason for the action taken.
This was done.
The union members have now
been off their jobs in an unau-
thorized walk out for a period
of approximately three and one
half days and as a result will
hold up the delivery of six com
bat transports that are vitality
needed by the U. S. Navy and u.
S Army in the war effort and on
which the company has been
bending every effort to complete.

SOIL BOARD In
KENT REPORTS
Drainage Operations Started
In Southern Kent; Many
Applications Received
REPORT AT MEETING

Satisfactory progress in the
farm drainage program was re-
ported by the board of supervisors
of the soil conservation district of
Kent county at recent meeting
held in the Dover Office of the Soil
Conservation Service. Plans were
discussed relatives to completing
the drainage operations on as
many farms this summer as time
will permit and as conditions will
justify the construction of open
bitches. Members of the board of
supervisors include Harvey E. VIII
son, chairman; Isaac Thomas, c.
Arthur Taylor, Lyndon D. Caulks
j. S. Willis, chairman of the Kent
County Levy Court, and Russell E.
Wilson, county agricultural agent
and secretary of the board.
Many Applications
Drainage operations have start
ed in the southern part of Kent
county, and elevations have been
taken on several farms in other
areas preparatory to the construc-
ton of open field bitches of the
V-type, but it is doubtful if this
work can be completed this year
on all the farms represented by the
large number of applications from
land owners. The cleaning out of
tax bitches presents another sert-
Gus problem to the board of SUPER
visors, as many farms cannot be
properly drained unless adequate
outlets are provided for the open
eld bitches and laterals. As So
luton to this problem, however,
the board plans to secure the nee
essary heavy machinery including
drag lines for use in opening these
big bitches, and cooperation in the
procedure is being solicited from
the legally organized tax ditch
companies within the county.
Contracts Approved
Contracts between land owners
and the Soil Conservation Service
for farm drainage are to be ap-'
proved by the board of supervisors
and this rule will be followed with
reference to all applications for
this type of work. AS the drain
age program progresses, farmers
in Kent county are showing in
creased interest in this method of
conserving soil fertility along with
more profitable and economic
utilization of the land, the report
stated.

State Women's Clubs

Addressing the State Federation

last week, DR.. w. Owen Sypherd,
acting president of the University
of Deaware, stated that the most
useful thing the Women's Clubs
could do at present would be to in
fiuence the girls who are recent
graduates of our high schools to
enter college. Many girls are en-
tering business or industry who
should be attending college and
while in some cases patriotic mo-
tives have led to this, in the long
view the girls would serv their
country best if they continued
their education beyond high school.
