St. Peters Church, One of The

as the first missionary to kezt
County. In 1740, Rev. Arthur
Usher built the wooden Chapel ct
Duck Creek, parent of st. Peter 5
Parish, in Smyrna. The growth Of
the parish was steady and in 1762
the Rev. Charles Inglis began the
erection of large church of brick,
but was soon called to Trinity
Church, New York and was later
made Bishop of Nova Scotia. Four
years later, on the old cemetery
grounds near Duck Creek this
church as enlarged and completed,
under the direction of building
committee: Daniel Cummins, John
Cook and Thomas Collins and the
Rev. S. Megaw, who had "a COM
municants. He was the last mis-
sionary sent over by the Society
from England. The American Rev
olution interrupted the work of the
Society and the church remained
vacant during the war.
From 1871 until 1927 the history
of the parish was that of almost
constant decline. In 1927 the brick
church was taken down andanother

John Cummins on Union Street in

which was named at that time con-
sisted of John Cummins, Ebenezer
Blackiston, Jacob Raymond and
Eben and John Cloak. At this
time the church had missionary
services. In the General Conven-
ton of 1929, the church was repre-
sented by John Cummins, who was
continued as Deputy.
In 1889 Bishop Onderdonk, of
Pennsylvania, who had jurisdiction
of the church in Delaware found no
church supplied with a minister
south of Smyrna and in the Con-
vention of this year held at Sea-
ford, there were only two clergy
men and twelve lay members. The
first Bishop, consecrated in 1841
was the Rt. Rev. Alfred Lee. He
found only four acting ministers
Zone below New Castle) and only
seven parishes supplied with regu-
lar services.
At this period the Ladies
Church Aid" Society was organized
by Mrs. Fisler, Mrs. Jacob Ray
mond, Mrs. Martha Cummins and
others, each member contributing
one cent week. There was no
sexton for the church but these
ladies took their colored servants

gton-FP-Workers should
organize consumer co-Operatives rath
er than wait for socalled free enter
prise to bring prices down through
competition for the consumer market
the AFI. economic bulletin, Labors
Monthly Survey, says in its July issue
1--WE have seen that competition by
producers is not enough to bring
down the prices of workers living ne
cessities," the survey says, quoting
government sources showing that
many factories are now cutting out
put and laying off workers while their
prcies remain at high-profit levels.
IAN orderly downward adjustment
of prices and an increase in consumer
buying power are essential if full pro-
duction and full employment are to
be maintained" it continues. by
organizing as consumers in co-opera-
tives we can mobilize our buying
power to achieve these goals.
when we own our own cooperative
stores, credit unions, WHOLESALERS, and
factories, we can use wherever neces-
sary the only effective means of re-
ducing prices-competitio in the free
market with other business"
The ALL bulletin gave the example
of midwestern farmers who organized
fertilizer co-ops after World War l
when prices were prohibitive, and to-
day these groups act as tempering
influence on the entire industry. Fer
tilizer prices, it says, rose but II per
cent in the past year while industrial
prices generally rose an average of

| 100000 jobs have been lost in Ameri-
can factories between March and May,
1947. The bulletin says that consum-
ers, about rs per cent of whom are
wage and small salaried workers, must
buy substantially more" this year if
they are to take their necessary two
thirds of the production of fully-em-
ployed America. Government, bust
ness and exports account for the other
third.
Every time consumer buying falls
short of the necessary amount by
