Home Demonstration Agent
Tells How to Remove Cause
Of Dampness
BULLETIN AVAILABLE

Even with all the damp weather
in Delaware, mildew can be con-
trolled, says M. Katherine Jones,
home demonstration agent. Even
where there is limited storage
space in home, there are several
precautionary steps you can take
to prevent this troublesome mold.
Most important is to remove the
cause of dampness in storage spac-
es. On damp days, close windows
and doors. Ventilate the house
only when the air outside is cool
and drier than inside. Heating the
house for short time with stove
or furnace is one way to get rid
of dampness. Then open the win
dows and doors to let out the
warmed air that has taken up the
extra moisture. To remove damp
ness from closets, place an open
COIlLdlllCI VI CdlNldAl NAhOiA0 AZ
the closet. 1t will take up the
moisture and become liquid. When
this happens, replace the container
with fresh calcium chloride. Mil
dew-resistant awning, shower cur
tains and other household goods
may be bought, or you can use
a home method of making cotton
articles mildew resistant by using
a soap and calciu mchloride solu-
tion. Exact procedure for this
method is given in a bulletin that
is available from county extension
offices. This bulletin includes ways
of preventing mildew and methods
of removing it from clothing, bed
ding, wood, leather and household
textiles.

SUGGEST WEED CLEANUP
Town Truck Available Aug. 20 and
% To Haul Garden Rubbish


At the regular meeting of The
Town Council on Friday evening,
August 18th it was suggested II
Council that a cleanup of weeds
and grass in gardens and yards of
the Town is badly needed. Inas-
much as this period is the begin
ming of the hay fever season and
also the danger of polio is not yet
over, general cleanup of weeds,
etc. might prevent spread of germs
causing the diseases. Council
agreed that if those having gard
ems, lots or yards that have be-
come overgrown with weeds, grass,
etc. will clean them up and put the
debris in baskets or piles in places
accessible to the Town dump
truck, the truck will be made
available for hauling it away on
Friday, August goth and Friday,
August 9th. Let us clean up our
yards and lots and make the Town
better place in which to live.

of the Democratic party, to every
ward, every hundred, every dis
-tfict. For I feel that ours is a
vital message, a message which
every citizen of the state of Della

message which calls for truly rep
resentative government for Della
ware through the active participa-
tion of the people, so that the high
promise contained in our form of

TO DEFER
ROTC STUDENTS
Deferment For College Stu
dents To Lapse Next June
Must Enroll in ROTC
VETS ARE EXEMPT

The Army's policy of deferment
for college students will lapse next
June, except for veterans, National
Guardsmen, officers Reserve Corps
members, and students who are
expected to be in the advanced
ROTC course, Col. Randolph 7.
Pendleton, professor of military
science and tactics at the Univers-
ity of Delaware, said last night in
explaining deferment policies in
connection with ROTC. Colonel
Pendleton and William H. Bohning,
the University's registrar, confer
red over the weekend at Cover
nors Island, New York, with Maj.
Gen. Lawrence Jaynes, command
ing officer of this military district,
and with representatives of %
other ROTC colleges in this dis
trict. Until next spring Colonel
Pendleton said, the Arnny's policy
will grant deferment to all stu
dents enrolling in college next
month. To facilitate operation of
the policy toward advanced ROTC
students, he said, it is anticipated
that the University of Delaware
and other colleges offering ROTC
training will be authorized during
the coming year to accept increas-
ed numbers of underclassmen for
future training in the advanced
course. This latter course cove S
the last two years of college, and
ordinarily it enrolls only small
part of the entire male student
body which is required to take the
first two years of basic military
training. For the first time in his
tory, said Colonel Pendleton, stu
dents completing their freshman
year will, next spring, be able to
indicate their desire to enroll for
advanced military work more than
a year in the future. Both fresh |
man and sophomore students who
indicate such a desire, and whose
are acceptable to the
University's military department,
will receive draft deferments en-
abling them to remain civilians
throughout their college life, SO
long as they continue in ROTC.
Next year, the University of Della
wares ROTC battalion-the larg-
est ever-will include some 300 /
freshmen and 200 sophomores in
the basic course and SO Juniors and
26 seniors in, the advanced course.
For the succeeding year, however,
Colonel Pendleton said, it may be
possible to accept as many as one
half of each class for advanced
training. This will be TN
der the newly-announced Army
policy of draft deferrals for 49,
500 students in ROTC and Air
ROTC courses at 231 colleges. The
exact quota for each college will be
fixed later. Students who are ac-
,epted for advanced ROTC work
must maintain satisfactory aca-
1emic and military records, will
attend summer training camps,
must agree to accept an Army or
Air Force commission if one is Of
'ered, and to serve two years or
more on active duty upon call at
any time. ITO assure selection for

carnival committee chairman. The

ing made by Earl C. Ford, assist
ant Scoutmaster for the Smyrna

out to 25 other troops in nearby
towns. The Smyrna Scout band,
under the direction of B. P. Osbon,
is being scheduled to give con-
cert on the carnival grounds but
the date has not yet been set. The
Smyrna Firemen's band is also
scheduled for a street concert dur
ing the affair. Rutter stated that
several merchants of Smyrna have
voiced their intention of donating
the ground prizes to be given away
each night. Tickets for the ground
prizes may be obtained from the
car booth and from the various
game booths. The retail value of
each ground prize will be announc-
ed along with the merchants name
who donated it. According to Rut-
ter the value of these ground priz-
es will be far higher than the fire
company could afford to give away
if it were not for the merchants
supplying them.
