GOLD STARS AMONG THE BLUE

GOLD STARS appear among the blue in service
~ flags hanging in windows this Christmastide.
Many of our own membership ale symbolzed by
those golden points.
To the families of gold star members OF
our organization, who served so galanty in the
Armed Forces of the United States and Canada
throughout the world conflict just ended the war
will not have ended completely. Their hearts will
be heavy as they recall other Christmases when
the particular chair, now empty, was filled.
Our understanding sympathy to them, how
ever is mingled with congratulations. For is not
a valiant son, brother husband, sweetheart, some
thing very special to call forth praise? And when
we are permitted to keep, isn't that victory of the
he has paid the supreme sacrifice for the freedom

In silence for a moment we bow in admring

CHRISTMAS, 1945
ce ON earth. good will toward men |.

WITH renewed meaning this year we recall the
W angels song Nineteen Hundred and torty-flve
years ago at the birth of the Christ Child.
After much strife, the world has laid down
its arms and is now busy with the business OF
peace 1t would seem from the various verbal
clashes around the nations, that peace is diff
cult business to keep going right. But the big
thing to remember is: The nations of the world
are irving to thrash out their problems around a
conference table.
Problems are inevitable following the most
devastating in history. Differences OF opinion
can be expected among SO many diverse peoples.
What matters is the willingness of them all to
seek solution that will mean no more war.
Our Christmas prayer is: Help the nations to
understand each other better. Guide them to the
right answers. Grant us continued peace.

Public Hearing
May Be Held On
Proposed Pounds
tContinued from First Page)

The MispilliOn association has
protested on the grounds that the
fish pounds would work a hardship
on small fishermen, particularly
party fishing boat operators. 1t was
explained party fishing boats stay
in close to shore principally for
safety and to establish the pound
area would increase the hazard and
expense of party fishing by driving
the boats out for successful
catches.
This group met at the MispilliOn
Lighthouse last Friday evening
and elected Mayor Edward {. Ev-
ans of Milford chairman of the
meeting. Mayor Evans prepared a
petition protesting the pound.
Would Reduce Small incomes
The pound nets would also re-
duce the small commercial fisher
mems income by increasing their
costs and reducing their catches 1t
was stated.
The Delaware Underwater ASSOcl-
alton will consider the matter at
a meeting and the Lewes Fisher
mans Association will hold meet
ing soon.
Colonel Lessig explained II had
not been planned to hold public
hearing on the establishment OF
the area. IF protests are sufficient
ly numerous and of importance, a
