While no definite promise can be
made" he stated, 'it is anticipated
that the recommendations made by
this Office relative to additional
compensation for live buyers will
be made effective in the near fu-
ture." The additional compensa-
tion, he said, will apply to cases in
which live buyers sell and deliver
to professors and to other custom
ers within a reasonable trucking
distance of the Delmarva PENN
sula," and also to transactions in
which the live buyers merely make
delivery for the professors of poul-
try purchased by the latter direct
ly from the producers.
Caution to Growers
Walton Smith, Bridgeville, who
is vice-president of the Peninsula
Growers Association, declared:
Growers should be very cautious
about putting in too many chicks
at this time because there may not
be enough feed when they mature. "
1t was pointed out that the pres
ent increase will provide no incen-
tive to increase production because
chicks started now will not mature
until the prices are scheduled to be
back at present levels.
Storage of Poultry
The second factor, it was ex-
planned unofficially, may be the
storage of dressed poultry. 1t was
said that the increases are approx
imately equal to the costs of keep
ing dressed poultry in warehouses
for the periods concerned-1.e 6
cents for this month, and % cents
for May. The increases will there
fore tend to lead owners of stored
poultry to keep it in storage until
May, which is normally month OF
high poultry consumption. June is
also a fried chicken month" but
by that time Western poultry be-
gins to reach the markets in guam
tity, it was explained.
Ceiling Prices
The present ceiling price for
broilers and fryers under four
pounds live weight is 281a cents a
pound, wholesale. With the April
increase the price will be 30.3 cents
pound. Present ceiling prices in
the farmers curb market for broiI-
ers and fryers are: 36 cents a
pound live; As cents dressed, and
So cents drawn.

NAME CEILING PRICES

Prices of poultry were increased
all along the line from the farms
to the markets, effective approx
imately April II" it was announced
by Charles w. Hardesty, Delaware
OPA director. The increase will
amount to 1.8 cents a pound for
April, 2.2 cents for May, and one
cent for June, with the present
scale to become effective again on
July 1. How the increase will be
passed along to the consumer was
not made clear. Stores figure their
selling prices by adding a percent
age mark-up, fixed by the OPA, to
the wholesale prices. Whether the
increases will be added to the pres
ent retail prices or whether they
will be swollen slightly by being
subject to the percentage mark-up
was not stated.
Live Buyers Compensation
while the increases do not af-
feet the conditions against which
live buyers of poultry have been on
strike, Mr.. Hardesty said he antic-
ipates additional compensation for
the live buyers in the near future.

some deep impression He may as
sure you that at the proper time
the solution will present itself.
There is such a thing as Divine
Guidance. And happy is the man
who can place the outcome of his
difficulties into the hands of
sympathetic and understanding
God.
A certain writer says: 1--WE fail
not because our resources fail, but
because we fail to link up with
them completely"
Here is the Great Resource to
Whom we should link up COM
pletely." 1t is the wise guidance
of our Shepherd God.
Fortunate indeed is the man who
has the ability to so trust the abil-
ity of God that he is no longer
crushed by the weight of the burd-
ems which life has piled upon his
back.

Respectfully,
Grace M. Jones
There is certainly no question
about our Government officials be-
ing fully appreciative of your sons
service and personal sacrifice, Mrs.
Jones. And it is somewhat COM
forting for you to know just how
much Importance the Navy Depart
ment attaches to the work the us.
Merchant Marine is, and has been,
doing. More impressive are the
citations they have forwarded to
you on behalf of your son Harvey.
Unfortunately, this does not make
less the loss we have all felt since
your boy was reported missing in
action. Let us continue to pray,
that by some Divine Miracle, Har-
vey will return to us. Even though
the possibility may be one in thou
sands, to hope is everyone's priv
Hedge. Prayer, hope and plenty
of hard work has been many a per-
sons salvation here in this world.
Undoubtedly, it will continue to be
so.
Frankly, Dribbles does not con-
slider your sons case matter of
controversy, Mrs. Jones. True, it
has produced different opinions,
which can very easily be turned
into good. If certain rulings exist
that are not consistent with our
American way of thinking, for
one think it time that they should
be changed.
1 could not help being impressed
to-day when 1 saw picture in the
Sunday magazine showing King
John of England signing the Magma
Carta. This notable event took
place many years ago. Up to that
time the assumption in England,
and in many other parts of this
world, were that King could do
no wrong. Facts proved otherwise.
And so it is to-day. The world is
rapidly changing, and with this
change people think differently.
The result of trained minds is
bound to bring about reforms of
one kind and another. Those things
which were considered correct pro-
cedure as of yesterday and to-day,
may be judged in quite different
light tomorrow. Therefore, even
learned men, holding high offices,
many times changed their minds.
This was especially true of the
Supreme Court of the United
States. In the past several years,
this body has reversed itself on
more than one occasion. Several
OF these cases may we'll be traced
back to what is known as public
opinion.
This all boils down to certain
facts-f an injustice has been
