SUSSEX COUNTY HOMEMAKERS
MAKE LEATHER GLOVES

The first meeting of the Leather
Glove School in Sussex county
was held at the Dublin Hill Com
munity Hall on Friday, Septem-
Der 10, at 10000 a. M, with IL
homemakers attending, announced
Mrs. Alma S. Smith, Home Demon
stration Agent.
Miss Adeline Hoffman, Extension
Clothing Specialist, the instructor,
stated that leather gloves can be
the keynote of a well-dressed wo-
man, and pair of hand-sewn ones
can be the pride of any home
maker. To work with leather has
its problems, however, no pins can
be used and there is no thread to
follow. Too, leather will stretch
therefore it must be handled very
carefully, but it will not ravel
as there is no weave.
Individual patterns were draft
ed for each homemaker at this
first meeting. Miss Hoffman dem.
onstrated the cutting and hand.
ling of leather. The next meeting
is being held sometime during the
first part of October.

DELAWARE FARM FRONT

The feed situation may or may
not handicap Delaware dairymen
in milk production in the months
ahead. Delmar Young, extension
dairy specialist, says dairymen
who have their silos filled, who
have good supply of good le-
gume hay and bins filled or to be
filled with home grown grains,
should not have too many wor-
ries. These dairymen can balance
their daily rations and maintain
economical production from these
feeds.
To those dairymen who have poor
quality hay, Young suggests that
it would be wise to purchase some
top quality hay and feed it liber-
ally during the coming months.
With the feeding of top quality hay
the amount of grain fed can be
reduced to one pound of grain to
three pounds of milk produced.

The stands are in sections, five in

A lot of big cities, including New

many cabs that were headed
straight for him. He answered
quickly: Il watch the other fell

crossing the street against a red
light. It's so-everywhere!

Bradley Hits Car Plan
Extension for Disabled

The House Veterans Affairs Com
mittee has received a second warm
ing from Veterans Administrator
Bradley that the Government must
"stop somewhere" In giving auto
mobiles to disabled veterans.
Gen. Bradley urged committee
members to 60 easy with legisla-
ton to extend the cars-for- -ampu-
tees program at a hearing yester-
day, attended by several arm am
putees.
""If Gen. Bradley rode on street
cars, he could understand the situ-
alton more fully.9 commented Ed
ward j. Beamon of Orange, N. j.,
an armless and deafened veteran.
Gen. Bradley two weeks ago sent
to the committee a lengthy report
opposing bills that would give cars
to arm amputees, World War I
veterans and even those wounded
IN peacetime.
Eve are not involved in q ques-
tion of what the veteran does or
does not deserve. If we sought
to justify this grant on the basis
of our debt to disabled vetreans,
we could add a garage, a house and
furniture-and still fall patheti-
cally short Of payment" he de-
clared.

6. @. P. Leaders Block
Action This Year on
Universal Training
D. shs Asseeiafsd Press

Republican leaders threw up I
road block today against action this
year on President Truman's plea for
universal training legislation.
Senator TAFT OF Ohio, chairman
of the Senate Republican Policy
Committee, told q reporter he doubts
very much that Congress would be
able to take up such controversial
subject and still meet the July 81
adjournment deadline on which he
has been insisting.
There are many other matters
Of more pressing Importance that
will take up our full time he said.
An estimate by Senator Lucas,
Democrat. OF Illinois that the kind
|of universal military training pro-
gram the Army wants would cost
81 .486, ,000. 600 annually gave econo-
|my-minded Republicans another
reason for putting Of action at this
time.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska. the
COP whip, said the training pro-
posal had not even been discussed
lat party meetings. He added that
1t is so far down the legislative
schedule he will be surprised If
either house gets around to it.
Mr. Truman told his news confer
ence yesterday he expects q report
soon from committee Of clergymen,
educators and others now studying
the problem. The group is headed
by DR.. Karl T. Compton. president
of the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology.
Some congressional supporters of
the training program obviously hope
the committee will find way to
give an educational coating to the
military aspects OF the proposal.
Senator Ball, Republican, OF Min
nesota said that while he believes
universal training is necessary, he
will not support what he called the
Army" plan of drafting youths at
a fixed age for full years work in
uniform.
Instead, he went on. he favors per-
hitting the prospective inductee to
pick from q three-year bracket the
time he wishes TO 60 into the ranks
and OF giving aim the choice Of tax
ing National Guard, rather than
Regular Army, training.
Senator Hill. Democrat. OF Ala
bama said he favors using educa-
tional institutions as much as pos
sible, so young men will not lose out
on their schooling while receiving
training.
