D. Cook of Milford told the group
that Mrs. Walls more than any
other person was responsible for
the teachers getting the pension,
as it was through her persistence
that the members of the Legisla-
ture finally recognized the need
for the pension. Senator Paul
BurkhOlder of Dover, the major
ity floor leader at the last session,
stated he was happy to have been
a part of the group that increased
the size of the pension, and pledg-
ed that another session of Legis-
! lature would find. him working to-
ward another increase for the
group. Senator Vera G. Davis said
it was a distinct pleasure to work
with Mrs. Walls, who had shown
the members of the Legislature
that her heart and soul was with
the eX-teachers of Delaware, and
she Mrs. Davis, proposed to do
everything in her power to help
the group at another session OF
the Legislature. Former State
Senator Robert H. Yerkes of Hous-
ton, the father" of the original
Senate bill passed in 1945, also
traced the history of the first mea-
sure and paid a glowing tribute to
Mrs. Walls for her fine humani-
tartan spirit that was responsible
for the passage of the bill.
Professor Jump presented a gift
of appreciation to the members OF
the Legislature given. by the ex-
teachers who felt that thank you
was not sufficient to express theil
gratitude for the hard battle they
had fought in their behalf. Sen

with the ex-teachers of Delaware,
who taught the boys and girls of
yesterday to reverance and honor
Thy name. Many of them today
are leaders of our state and coun-
try.
Bless our colleagues who are
unable to be with us this evening:
some of them are. far away from
their childhood homes in dear old
Delaware, others are very i'll. May
they put their trust in Thee and
when their work here on earth is
completed, may Thou pilot them
safely home (and all of us) across
the border to live with Thee.
Bless the ministers of the gos-
pei. May Thou guide and direct
them in their difficult task in try

We thank Thee for the unselfish
life of Alfred /. dupont. 1t was

work that We are assembled here

Farmers Interested
In Flying Planes
Continued from nrst page)

Is air travel really dangerous
in light plane? The answer is
"No." If you take the record of
members of the National Flying
Farmers Association. In nearly 20
million air miles there was only
one fatality among them.
This same group of flyers had
an average of one minor accident
for 3,195 hours flying time. These
facts were revealed in a recent
survey.
Someone has estimated that a
civilian flyer would need to use his
plane at least so hours a year to
justify the investment. If that's
right, farmers have a good invest
ment, since they fly an average of
24O hours each year, or approxi-
mately 21,600 air miles. Most pri-
vate automobiles aren't driven that
far in II months.
These country flyers are not all
younger men. In fact, they are in
the middle-age bracket, ranging
from Is to II years, with an aver
age of S61a.
Reports show that $3.50 of the
members of the National Flying
Farmers have bought new planes
during the past two years., and
that $40 provide thein own hang
I ars.
The group owns "a different
makes of planes, but $40 were
made by seven manufacturers: Pi-
per, Aeronca, Taylorcraft, Cessna
Ercoupe, Luscombe and Stinson.
! There are 2,200 members in "a
states and 26%o of them were ques-
toned in the survey.

Secretary of State Marshall and

contend the act would undermine

Senator Aiken disagreed, saying
This bill does not give the Presi-
dent any authority that he does not
already possess. The Tariff Act OF
1880 authorized him to raise duties
up to so percent on any commodity
when the domestic market is threat

3. If the weather doesn't suit you,
don't think Of coming.
4. If you attend meeting, find fault
with the work and the officers and
members.
S. Never accept an Office, it is easier
to criticise than to do things.
6. Nevertheless, get sore if you are
not appointed on a committee; but il
You are, do not attend the meetings.
Z. If asked by the chairman to give
your opinion on some important mat
ter, tell him you have nothing to say
After the meeting, tell everyone how
things should be done. 49,. ..r,
8. Do nothing more than is absolute
ly necessary, but when other members
roll up their sleeves and willingly and
unselfishly use their ability to help
matters along, howl that the organiza
tion is being run by a clique.
9. Hold back your dues as long as
possible, or don't pay them at all.
