BACON SEEN AS
PARTY'S CHOICE
Republican Leaders Expect
His Endorsement For Re-
election as Governor
CONVENTION JULY 18TH

denomination of Gov. Walter W..
Bacon for another four-year term
is regarded in political circles as
practically assured at the Republi-
can State Convention at Dover ten
tatively set for Wednesday, July
10. Republican leaders announcing
the tentative date for the Dover
nominating convention were jubil-
ant over the action of the strong
Republican First District whining
tom Committee meeting in unan-
imously endorsing Governor Bacon
for denomination. 1t also brought
out talk that his running mate for
the lieutenant governorship would
come from the lower end of the
state, with Clayton A. Bunting,
Selbyville, president pro tenn of the
state Senate; G. Clifton Maull,
Lewes, former state senator, and
Ebe H. Chandler, Dagsboro, former
state party chairman and former
state senator, as among the likely
choices.
Sentiment Strong
1t was pointed out that the First
District Committees unanimous
endorsement of Governor Bacon
follows similar unanimous endorse
ment given recently by the Repub-
lican Second District (rural New
Castle County, Committee, as we'll
as endorsements by several Repub-
lican clubs and independent party
organizations, and each of the in
dlvidual wards in Wilmington.
Sentiment for Governor Bacon's re-
nomination is equally strong
throughout the lower part of the
state, leaders said, declaring that
If he so desires it, he could be
easily nominated on the first ballot.
Party Has 16O Votes
Total delegate votes at the
party's nominating convention is
LOU with majority vote require
ment for nomination. Wilmington
and rural New Castle have a total
OF 78 delegate votes, 40 in Will
mington and 38 in rural New Cas-
tie; while Kent and Sussex have 80
between them, or 40 and AZ re-
spectivelly. 1t is expected the
party's delegate election through
out the state will be conducted Sat-
urday, July 15, probably with few
II any contests. These dates fol-
low the statewide voter registra-
ton set for Wednesday, July IL.
The only other full day of regis
tration for voters is scheduled for
Saturday, Oct. 21.

spacious porch overlooked the Hud-
son. AS they were sitting there
one afternoon surrounded by large
green lawns overarched by giant
leafy trees, his hostess began to
complain of the scarcity of bird life
in that locality.
Her remark surprised Mr.. Bur-
roughs. why, he declared, "since
1 have been sitting here, 1 have
counted not less than twelve differ
ent species of birds!"
What" she exclaimed, "is it
possible that have been here all
summer and have seen so few, and
you. in the course of a half hour,
have seen so many?"
Then the great naturalist replied;
"Ah, Madam, you must have the
bird in your heart before you can
have it in your eye"
What John Burroughs says
about birds is certainly true of the
beauties of the spiritual realm. Be
fore you can discern them, you
must have them in your affection.
The gates of Heaven open only
to those who have sent on ahead
their love for things celestial.
This is what st. Paul declared
when he wrote: 'The natural man
receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God; for they are foolish
ness unto him: neither can he know
them, because they are spiritually
discerned."

Fats Salvage Doubled
yPoint Payment Plan

Salvage of fats for war purposes
has been doubled by payment OF
two ration points for each pound Of
fat turned in to butchers, but the
quantity surrendered by house
wives is shy of estimated require
ments by 100000 pounds annually,
the Office of Price Administration
reports,
Meanwhile monthly fat collec-
tions in the District scared to
record 69,135 pounds in December,
with January figures not yet tabu-
lated
The Districts monthly quota of
waste fats was changed January l
from l00500 pounds to 1866. Ex-
ecutive Secretary Horace Walker Of
the District Salvage Committee
reports that the 1943 total from
private homes and apartments
amounted to 55740l pounds. This
was augmented by 474.775 pounds
obtained from the Cherry Hill
reduction plant.
OPA yesterday issued scale of
container weights to guide butchers
and housewives. When fat is turned
in, OPA said, butchers will deduct
the weight of the container as listed
in an OPA chart before paying out
points.
Preliminary figures indicate house
wives are saving waste fats at the
rate of approximately 10000 900
pounds a year. While this is more
than double the, rate before OPA
began giving two meat points for
each pound turned in, more fats are
needed for war purposes, OPA
