SlrIS can De pIoiiioteu llldn lnlS an- nual event.
 In view of the recently acquired building for the Boy Scouts, and the use of the building allowed to Girl Scouts and other youths of the community, there is much to De done for the boys and girls of Nome. The building is being read fed for occupancy, for meetings of .he Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts on their various regular meeting nights and for parties as scheduled n order to give the youth of Nome ne lift needed in addition to home am school training in becoming, eventually, the community'S lead ng citizens.
 Much work has been done by scouting committees, Scoutmaster assistants and others interested in youth welfare, in obtaining the necessary facilities to make it pos sible 10 do the job right.
 Our future citizens deserve all he support we can give them. Public attention must be focused uron the boys and girls, their po- tentialities and their problems, to ne end that increasing numbers of adults. whether in business or pri- va:e life, may awaken to the joys and opportunities of youth service and be encouraged to cooperate in programs of character building ac- tivities for the general welfare of boys and girls, bringing to each realization of his duties and re- responsibilities as a citizen.
 This week, April 26 to May 4, Boys and Girls Week." the theme is "Youth-The Trustees of Pos terity."
 Sunday, April 27, the buildings of the Boy Scout summer camp will be moved to the Dexter loca- ton, where work will commence n readying them for occupancy this season.
 Members of the Rotary Club, the Scouting Committee, and others are giving money, time and mate rials, to renovate and recondition the new Scout Headquarters build 1 ing, and it should be ready for meetings in the very near future" |" stated John Hudert, chairman of the Scouting Committee, "and 1 should be real asset in providing 1 a meeting place for youth in the community"
 It has been pointed out that the ] entire program cannot possibly be carried on without community CO., operation. Much help and equip ment is necessary.
 The present staff of Scoutmas- ter, Assistant Scoutmaster, and Committee is good, but they alone cannot put Scouting across. No single one of us can accomplish much but the combined efforts of all of us can bring the desired re- suits in developing our future cit ' izens.

may feel obligated to go along with their leaders in de- nouncing this bill most can look upon It as Ma9i' Carta of labor.
 The bill does have strong and much-needed restrlctVe features It would forbid such abuses as these
 Jursdctional strikes-that s strikes resulting from
 dispute between two unions over which shall do oh'
 Secondary bOycOtS-n which workers refuse to nan dle goods from or destined for, an employer not ther own:
 Featherbedding ng-in which union seeks to fore" an employer to hire than reasonably necessarV for Ob pay for work not perfOrmed in which union penazes employer for of certain machines or materials;
 Mass picketing and violence in picketing
 The bill would correct of the most glaring faults of the Wagner act by giving employers the right to speak freely to their employees on labor matters
 Most important of all is the recognition which the House bill gives to the rights of the publictoo long the innocent victim in many strikes. By curbng industry wide barganing the measure would make unlikev the national paralysis which has been inflicted by railroad COql and teleDhOne strikes
 Tn addition it would establish procedures incre9sno the hope of peaceful settlement in such disputes affect n0 the public health and safety the present telephone t"ke Tn these situations the bill would authorize the government to seek an injunction delaying the strike for a reriOd during which:
 (a) For thirty days intensive efforts would be made to settle the dispute by concilation;
 fb) If agreement not reached the secretary of labor would ask the chief justice of the U S. circuit court of appeals for the District of Columbia to three-man advisory board with himself as chairman and with members representing labor and management:
 c) The board would investigate the facts and report within thirty days;
 d) Fifteen days after the board renders its opinion the NLRB would take secret ballot among the employ ees on whether they would accept the findings
 (e) Neither party would be obligated to accept the findings;
 Q) If at the end of these proceedings, agreement were not reached the injunction would he dissolved and the union could strike.
 The merit of this procedure is that it would delay strike while determined effort is made to settle dis pute Findings of the board would enable the public to form intelligent opinions a case.
 Labor politicians naturally oppose this bill feeling with John L. Lewis and his ideoogical forebear King Louis XIV of France, "L'etat cest moi'-"I am the state. But for the ordinary workngman for the now powerless employer and for the public this bill is new bill of rights
 The prediction is made that President Truman who vetoed the leSsincusve Case bill last summer will kill this measure if it reaches his desk If he does the coun- try undergo another year of unrestraned industrial warfare-and there will be reckoning in 1948

Quart Milk Without Cost
Each Day Defense Move

Declaring that 38 per cent of the
first l,000,00 draftees were declared
unfit for military duty, largely be-
cause of malnutrition, W. D. Dob
bins, Birmingham real estate man,
is steadily building support for a
plan under which every child in the
nation. under IA years of age, would
receive quart of milk each day
without cost.
The Dobbins proposal, which he
hopes to have introduced in con-
gress as soon as some difficulties
are ironed out, provides for an ini-
tial federal appropriation of $780,
100000 to start operation of the plan
which he characterizes as de-
fense move.
Dobbins cited figures showing that
26 per cent of the nations $4,000, 900
school children are undernourished
and liable to serious mental or phys
ical illness.
He would have the department OF
agriculture issue white stamps SIM
liar to food and cotton stamps now
being used, with which those un-
der IA could purchase not more than
one quart of milk day.
His slogan is: "A quart of milk a
day per child will make the cheeks
of American children rosy, the pas
lures green and the farmers pros
porous.

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

1t has been brought to my attention that the War,
Navy and Treasury Departments and the National
Rifle Association have Joined in campaign of instruc
ton to prevent the loss of life and destruction of prop
erty resulting from the possession of explosive-type
war souvenirs. One need but the papers to
that such a safety program is badly needed.
The problem is primarily one of education
1t is egrettabe that step of this kind not taken
after past This neglect has cost thousands of
lives and millions of dollars.
The Government agencies and a non-proft
sportsmens organization have banded together in a
public service. trust the public will hear them
and heed.

SAVINGS STAMPS
SOLD IN SCHOOL
Delaware School Children Buy
19oo of Total School Enroll
ment of Nation
PURCHASE $4,000 WORTH

American children during the
school year 1946-47 bought S0,000,-
900 Savings Stamps toward the
purchase of u. S. Savings Bonds,
Delaware, with an estimated .19
per cent of the total school enroll
ment of the nation, accounted for
$1,000 worth or "a per cent OF
the national sales of S21 ,429, ,000
during the school term. Besides
this, many savings bonds were
bought in direct cash sales through
the schools. Stamps of 10-cent and
25-cent denominations made up 80
per cent of the national sales and
the 5O-cent, one dollar and S.
stamps the rest.
Delaware ranked sixth in an
honor roll of 13 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia whose percentage
of the national sales of savings
stamps was higher than their per-
centage of U. S. School enrolment.
These facts and figures were an
nounced by Clarence E. Keyes,
State Director for the u. S. Saw
ings Bonds Division, Immediately
upon receiving them from Wash
'ington.
'@The story of the School Savings
program in Delaware cannot be
told in figures alone" Mr.. Keyes
commented. ITO the dollars saved
must be added other important
benefits, to the children whose first
act of citizenship was the purchase
of a u. S. Savings Stamp; to older
students whose regular investment
in stamps and bonds has helped as
sure their further education, and to
the teachers who have seen their
pupils build character and pro-
gress steadily toward chosen goals
through these practical lessons in
thrift, linked with the study of
arithemetic, civics and home eco-
nomics.
'1The statistics are a yardstick
to measure progress in the school
savings program, sponsored by the
Treasury Department, to promote
understanding of the national and
personal reasons for saving in
peacetime as we'll as in war. Pro-
gress has been remarkable and
congratulate the schools of this
state for being in the vanguard OF
it."

of independence, weaving him
from too much mothering."
DR.. KENYON asserts that a child
won't be frightened when he's left
alone at school If he has been
properly prepared for that event.
"Be sure that he understands

IGETTOUGH WITH
DRUNK DRIVERS
Safety Bureau Urges Police
Departments and Courts
To Get Tough
CAUSE FOR DEATH TOLL

Get tough with the drunk driver,
police departments and courts were
urged by the National Conserva-
tion Bureau, accident prevention
division of the Association of Cas-
ualty and Surety Companies.
Drunken driving is one of the main
causes for the tragic death toll in
highway traffic accidents and tsrin-
gent enforcement and prosecution
are needed to curb the menace, the
Bureau said.
Recent tests reveal THAT half of
the drivers involved in fatal motor
vehicle accidents have ben drink
ing. About one-third of them, the
check shows, have enough alcohol
in their systems to be under it's in
fuence.
A recent ruling of the New Jer-
sey Court that two convictions for
drunken driving, regardless of
where they occurred, are sufficient
for permanent revocation of driv-
er's license was lauded by the Bu-
reau's safety experts as an ex-
emplary step in efforts to stem the
annual traffic death rate. The
court decision sets a precedent
worthy of repetition.
The court upheld Arthur w.
Magee, New Jersey Motor Vehicle
Commissioner, who permanently
revoked the license of driver af-
ter the latter had been convicted
twice of drunken driving. State
law makes loss of license manda-
tory after two convictions, but the
driver appealed to the Supreme
Court on the ground that one of
his convictions was in New York.

Lining Closets With Cedar

In lining closets with cedar, it is
possible to nail the cedar to the
sheathing or put it on over the plas-
ter. In new construction, it is ad-
visable to put a layer of building
paper over the sheathing before in
stalling the cedar. In old work this
is not necessary but it will make a
better installation. A closet lining
OF Port Oxford cedar lumber is
now available. 1t is creamy white
in color and has pleasing odor
that is insect repellent. 1t has
micromatic tongue and groove and
end matching as well as V-joint fea-
lures, necessitating a minimum of
finish work before installing.

Record Making Delicate
Work; Gold Plated

Heat is necessary to record max
ing, but never afterward. A disk
starts with round metal plate. one
half inch thick and slightly larger
than the record will be when fin
ished. II is heated and thin lay
er of wax flows on to be cooled care
fully and passed on to the recording
room. The sound picked up by mi
crophones and converted into elec-
trical energy by amplifiers piped
into the room is changed back into
mechanical energy and impressed
on the thin layer of wax by the
cutting head. The waxed plate is
put on a machine under vacuum
and the recorded surface is covered
with very thin layer of gold.
II is now metal plate with layer
of wax containing music cuts and
the surface is gold plated. 1t is put
into a copper-sulphate solution for
l6 hours and heavy copper plate
put over the gold. This copper-plate
is lifted away from the wax and the
inside surface is gold with an oppo-
site impression of music. The disk
is nickel plated, then chrome plated
to make the grooves more rugged
1t now is ready to be put on a press.
Then the label is set in the GEN.
ter, the mass of the formula is put
on the disk and it is heated to 300
degrees. The press is closed by
hand and opened Immediately. The
finished record then is ready to play.
But before it is played on your
phonograph, brush off the carbon
dust with velvet buffer or a soft
hair brush like you use on your felt
hat.
