hot game from the Civilian

day, the 827 Tank Destroyers

The transfer of two mean

first game because of a So point

however, and took the only game
they needed to win to own first
place by a score that was over 100
points atop the girl bowlers.

G.. VI. WorrilOw, chairman of the
Agricultural Division of the Della
ware War Finance Committee and
acting associate director of the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, points out five good rea-
sons why Delaware farmers should
buy extra bonds during this drive /;
"a War Bonds are the, best. SAT-
est investment in the world; (2)
War Bonds bought today will buy
farm equipment, home equipment,
new car or truck or a farm after
the war is won; go War Bonds
(series E) return 81 for every SO
in 10 years; (4) War Bonds bought
today help win the war; (5) War
Bonds provide a reserve for lean
years and old age.
Certainly the need of our armed
forces for this support is all the
reason we need to put all the mon
ey we can into War Bonds. But
farmers must also look ahead. and
they are looking in the right direc-
tion when they buy War Bonds
now for the things they will need
later. Equipment and machinery
are not available now, and land
prices are generally at an uneco-
nomical level--the money will be
worth more in terms of these re-
sources when the bonds mature.

GOVERNOR W. w. BACON
ANNOUNCES THAT HE
WILL BE CANDIDATE
Ccontinusd from r4rsT rAEsl

I'm making this decision. I am
mindful of the great responsibility
it incurs and likewise realize
the magnitude of the problems
which will confront this state dur
ing the administration of the next
governor.
Should l be the nominee of the
Republican Party for Governor of
Delaware l will base my campaign
upon the record of my present
administration. For three-fOurths
of the period l have been in the
Governors Office our nation has
been engaged in a world war of
glObal proportions, condition
which created many unforeseen
problems in state government.
I'VE have met those problems in
the best interests of our nation.
our state and our people. Prob
lens confronting the state incon-
nection with the war are far from
completed. Constant planning is
required to cope with this situa-
tiOn and we have endeavOred to
the best of our ability TO keep
abreast of the needs of the time.
II am not unmindful of the
many requests from organizations
and individuals that I become a
candidate for another term as Gov
ernor of Delaware and the en-
dorsements they have placed upon
my administration. For these l
am most grateful and to all con-
cerned l extend my sincere thanks.
Il promised to give the people
of Delaware my best efforts in the
office of Governor. Three and one
half years of my term is now COM
pleted. The record can speak for
itself"
Governor Bacon is serving his
first term as chief executive of
this state. having been elected in
1910 and assumed Office in 1941.
Prior to being elected Governor he
served three terms as Mayor of

operating with the board are Rich
ard S. Snyder and Herbert b.
Hendrick of the Soil Conservation
Service, also Lawrence Lindley,
soil technicician, and Harry Hull.
drainage engineer, who have been
assigned to Kent county to assist
with this project
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-
tion of open field bitches of the v
type, but il 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 serious
problem to the board of supervis-
crs. as many farms cannot be pro-
perly drained unless adequate out
let's are provided for the open field
bitches and laterals. AS a solution
to this problem. however, the board
plans to secure the necessary
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 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
drainage program prOgre sses.
farmers in the Kent county are
showing increased interest in this
method of conserving soil fertility
along with a more profitable and
economic utilization of the land.

Nazi Prisoners Are
Taken To 2 Camps
(cOntinusd from First Pase)

AT the present time there are a
few prisoners working at the Stock
ley Cannery in Rehoboth Beach,
while others are working at can
neries scattered throughout Kent
and Sussex counties. helping to
can beans, which were harvested
earlier than usual due to the warm
weather.
The go now at Lewes will work
at several large canneries that have
not yet begun full-scale opera
tions.
The old CCC camp is located at
the entrance of Lewes. 1t was re-
conditioned and made habitable by
four business concerns at a cost of
$4,000. The companies which f.
nanced the reconditioning are the
Stockley Company, the Houston
White Company of Millsboro; the
Marvel Package Company of Lau-
rel. and the Parsons Brothers of
Seaford. The latter three compan-
les are engaged in the lumber bus
mess and will supply boxes for the
cannery.
Russell Hudson. manager of the
StOckley Company, said that the
Nazi prisoners had worked at that
plant for the past few days, having
come down in trucks under guard
from Fort dupont each day, re-
turning at night. He said that the
prisoners were highly satisfactory
as workers but that it would not
be necessary to use them if local
labor had responded.

Food Selection
Food Is a second contributing
factor in Fathers health, not only
on Fathers Day but all through
the year. Almost everyone knows
that children need milk, citrus
fruit, green vegetables, and whole
grain cereals for the maintenance
of health and growth. But how
many realize that the masculine
machine also needs these foods for
the best performance. Too often
daddys are soley "meat-and-poIa-
toes-men". These foods are good
but everybody needs other protec-
tive foods, too. Mothers intrOduc-
tion of more of the basic Z foods

o'clock slump--a fatigue brought
on by too little of the right kind of
foods. Summer always increases
the consumption of liquids and
Father might well be encouraged
to drink more milk. fruit and to-
matO juices and less of the non
essential soft drinks.
Physical Examinations
Food and rest are day in and day
out affairs like gas and oil for the
family car. But. just as the engine
needs an occasional Over-hauling,
so, too. does Father need periodic
physical check-ups by the family
physician. Cancer and tuberculosis
are two widespread diseases from
which people may recover IF
these diseases are discovered and
treated EARLY.

show that 1O1 men between the age
