Delaware families received ST.

during the first three months of
this year, compared with S1,013,-
900 under 1,449 policies in the COR

Institute of Life Insurance reports.
This rise in death benefits, in ad-
dition to rejecting the mortality
experience among policyholders in
this state, also reflects the greater
amount of life insurance owned"
the Institute said. OF the aggre-
gate payments in this state, ST.

policies; S215,0O0 was under 1872

in the near future. This, of course,
will increase the enrolment of pro-
jects in the county and will in
crease the enrolment of club
members to a new total of 300.
The total project enrolment is 257
units. This figure is greater than
the number of members because
many of them are participating in
more than one project. Field Crop
Record tops the boys project list
with Al members enrolled. Other
girls projects, with high ENROLL
ment, are: Cooking-24 members
participating, Canning men,
bers participating. Members meet
together at their homes, under the
direction of their local leaders and
occasionally a state specialist in
some particular project work.
Meeting in a group provides better
opportunity for learning through
the mistakes and accomplishments
of the others. Providing adult
leadership for these clubs are 81
men and women in addition to the
county club agent. Club agent,
Osborne, points out that these are
all volunteer leaders. They attend
all local meetings of the clubs and
guide officers and committees in
conducting the club program. As
sistance to the leaders for their
work with the clubs has been and
will be provided in a series of
training schools conducted by the

1t is understood that their retention was
made mandatory by their party as a
condition to its continued support of the
government.
The Socialist leaders are making strong
play for the consideration of their party
as the indispensable basis of any cabinet
combination, while Communist spokesmen,
changing their tune with characteristic
opportunism, are beginning to hint at a
new popular front" against the menace
of de Gaullist "Caesarism" But it is
difficult to see how the bridge between
the two parties can be built. On the
other hand those parliamentary members
affected by the De Gaullist sweep are
considering the formation of an Inter
group" block which might play an i'm
portant role in Chamber so divided as it
now promises to be.
The outcome of all these complex politi-
cal maneuvers will be shown after the
Chamber convenes in its special session
next week. Stormy times are anticipated
out of which almost anything may emerge.

The Show Must Go On
But Movie Makers Held Obligated to Exclude
Propaganda From Entertainment
By Rayrn ond MoIey

The real issue in the probe of the movies is
whether pictures are to be entertainment or
something else. Some of the representatives of
the big companies seem to overlook this point
entirely. Since they are accused of making
pro-Communist pictures, they defend them
selves by saying they will make ant-Commu-
mist pictures Their pictures should be good
entertainment good recreation for the millions
who are perfectly capable of getting their po-
htical education somewhere else.
This point seems to be lost in the hullabaloo
going on in Washington. But the companies
paid one OF the most astute politicians of our
time for az years to teach them just that
Will Hays very wisely adhered to single policy
while he headed the industry He said that
entertainment pictures-which, incidentally,
are the ones under consideration before the
Thomas Committee-should carry the torch
for no issue or "ism," however worthy. He
knew, as few people could know, that show
man is not an educator, nor is he philosopher
or political leader. If he tries to do some
thing besides entertaining his public he spoils
both the cause and the show.
Hence, Hays gave one answer to every one
who had an idea or crusade to put over. This
answer was given to all such efforts however
worthy, whether they were directed at the cure
of disease, the value of sunlight or the evils
of drink. This argument is an excellent me-
