Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1944-02-10

Grudges have absolutely no value
whatever and serve only to injure
the person who bears them, accord
ing to an article by Florence Hewitt
in the February issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine.
Analysing this common manifes-
tation of hate, the writer urges the
person carrying a grudge to stop,
look 1t right in the eye, and de-
termine just what it is doing to you
or for you.
"Grudges keep alive memories
you would be happier without" she
writes. They force you to live
through the old humiliation, not
once. but whenever you start lick
ing the wound and getting all
worked up. They make you sour
and likely to do unto others what
has been done unto you which is
not 50 good. The presence of a

Leftover Baked Bean
Beauties

Best way to make the most of a
big batch of home-baked beans is to
plan seconds along with the first
serving meal. Don't let a half-filled
bean pot languish in the refrigerator,
forgotten for days. Don't let the
family nibble wasteful spoonfuls be-
fore meals, or before bedtime either.
Have well-designed scheme for
using them, and adhere to it two
days later.
Never just re-heat and serve. In
stead, feature the beans in a de-
icious new dish. Say shortcake,
made of two pats of corn bread with
home-baked beans heaped in be-
tween. Or, baked beans scooped
into a toasted hamburger bun and
topped with a tenderly baked egg.

ago. We've had you on record
since February 25th, 1912, which
was about two months after you
reported for active duty at Fort
Dix, New Jersey. Quite lot has
happened since then, and I am very
thankful that the greater part of
it has been decidedly in our favor
The tempo is now being stepped up
at much faster pace. and natural
ly is forerunner of still greater
things to come. However, there is
still plenty for all of us to do be-
fore final victory is attained.
Walt, 1 cannot see why the show
of shyness about writing back to
this column. Don't forget we're all
foreigners here in the United
States-the American Indian being
the only exception. The Indian is
of a fine and noble race of people,
no discounting that as fact, but
he would certainly have been in
bad row of stumps right about now
if the foreign element had not step
ped in and made America what it
is to-day. So, when you talk about
this so called foreigner angle,
you're barking up against many a
tall tree and quite a few young
saplings also.
You're quite right about Smyrna
not having to hold her head down
after this war, Sergeant. Dribbles
has about four hundred and thirty
five names of Service folk entered
in the file, of these two hundred
and forty-nine are from the Smyr-
ma post Office area. The balance
are from Clayton, Delaware, our
good neighbors one mile west, and
the Kenton and Hartly, Delaware,
areas.
Fact is, the deeper you go into
this sort of figuring, the more it
brings out the fact that nowhere in
this great United States will any
community have to hold its head
downtown, or after this war.
While the Boys and Girls, who en-
tered the Service, are away from
home doing their respective shares
in this world wide conflict, folks
back home are trying in every way
to back them up. Of course, Drib-
bles is not attempting to place the
soldier and civilian effort on the
same basis of sacrifice to ones
country, but he has lived just long
enough to realize that it takes a lot
of people, in and out of uniform, to
win any large scale war. And, so
it is with the present one.
Walt, we'll all be here waiting
for your return, and meanwhile
Dribbles is wishing you the very
best of llulck and good fortune.
How about writing in again before
too very long so that we'll know
how you are making out.

Dear Dribbles:
Since you probably have not

son lately, 1 am sending you his
new address and few excerpts
from his latest letters.
Clarence has been sent overseas,
arriving at his new station just be-
fore Christmas. OF the conditions
there he writes:

they have gone through, the people
deserve a lot of credit. One thing
sure, they will do everything posi-

A Community Service

Many persons do not realize
fully the contribution to the
cultural life of our community
that is being made by the Ro-
tary Club in bringing to us
the Institute of International
Understanding.
The Institute will be held
one evening each week for
four successive weeks begin
ming on Friday, February IS.
All meetings will be held in
the High School Auditorium
beginning promptly at 8 p. m.
AT each one of these sessions
an authority competent in his
special field of public affairs
will give an address, followed
by a forum period in which
members of audience may ask
questions about some phase
of the subject discussed in the
address. Each community
having an Institute, therefore,
will have four speakers, each
delivering two addresses-one
before the high school assem-
bly, in the daytime and the
other before the public forum
in the evening.
For the season 1884, the
Institute has as it's underlying
theme, Contributors to a New
World Order"
The Institute will enable
the persons attending to have
an appreciation of this prob
lem pressing for solution in a
world becoming more and
more interrelated. World
peace will be discussed in a
practical light and there will
be a decided upswing in COM
munity public opinion for in
ternational understanding.
Residents of the Commun-
ity failing to attend the Insti-
tute will be the losers. Such
an opportunity is presented but
seldom. 1t should be a per-
sonal duty to express appre-
citation to the members of the
Rotary Club for this educa-
tional contribution they are
making to our community life.
