he is involved has his child and
naturally she is going to do every

OFFICIAL. TRANSFER
CARDS

Occasionally we have members in
our local lodges who wish to trans
Ter 70 some other lodges of H. B. A.
Most of our presidents and lodges
know that the only way that a mem
Der can transfer is by obtaining an
official transfer card How ever,
we have som elocal presidents who
nave not as yet learned how to
transfer members.
Throughout the years, some of our
presidents have been writing to the
office to find out what members,
who have been unfinicial, will have
to pay in order to renew.
q The office is always glad to fur
nish any information desired to the
local lodges through the local presi-
dents. However, a lot of the in
formation that the presidents write
to the office to obtain can be found
in our Bylaws and Constitution I
am thinking that if we would read
our Constitution more often, a lot
of us would be more familiar with
the laws (which govern our Asso-
citation.
If you do not have a copy of the
last revised Constitution, the office
will be glad to send you one. The

WE FEEL QUITE HoNoRED

The editor of the Milford Chronicle was
pretty happy on Monday of this week when
he had an opportunity to hang a new and
significant certificate on the Office wall The
certificate says that the Milford Chronicle
has been analysed and rated against the
other newspapers of Delaware and given a
rating of "AAA Plus" the highest rating
given any newspaper in the United States.
The complete analysis for the State of Della
ware shows that the Chronicle is the only
weekly newspaper to receive ratings of
"AAA Plus" This means that the Chronicle
in every respect has topped the required rat
ings as set forth for well balanced weekly
newspaper. The rating symbols used in the
evaluation were as follows: AAA, Superior
Newspaper; AA, Excellent Newspaper; A,
Good Newspaper; B, Fair Newspaper; G,
Inferior Newspaper. Where the AAA rating
is followed by ~ symbol, the newspaper
has rated in the top half of the AAA group
In other words, it is in the very select group,
few in number, now published in the U. S.
The Public Press, published at RehObOth, and
the Leader, published at Seaford, were rated
"AA." The Sussex Countian, published at
Georgetown, and the State Register, of Lau-
rel, both received ga" ratings. The Delmar-
va News, Sebyville, and the Bi-State Week
ly, Delmar, were rated "B." The Bridgeville
News received &C" rating.
All Delaware newspapers were evalu-
ated with the same basic formula and with
the same careful and impartial analysis
which are being used to rate the other
weekly newspapers of the Nation. The eval-
uation studies are made by the Community
Research Bureau, an independent research
organization. Members of the staff of the
Milford Chronicle make every effort, week
in and week out, to give Milford, Kent and
Sussex Counties and the State of Delaware
the very best newspaper possible 1t is most
gratifying to us to know that a completely
impartial analysis of our efforts show thai
we are doing a good job In producing the
Chronicle we spare on reasonable effort OF
expense to give you readers the best in week
ly newspapers. We have no desire to rest
on our laurels-but the result of the survey
Just released puts us in position where We
must work harder and harder to maintain
the high position in which we have beer
placed. We shall continue to appreciate con
structive suggestions or criticisms from oul
ever growing list of readers. These sugges
tions we value, for they give us the oppor
tunity to weigh and evaluate their content
with the hope that we may produce blgge
and better Chronicle. We are happy to hav
received this latest impartial boost and Shal
continue to deserve it in every respect.

THE FIRE ENGINE

We all like to watch the fire engine go by.
It's an exciting sight, with the siren
screaming and the firemen hanging on Tor
dear life and the dogs and the children tear
ing down the street after it.
But the sight at the end of its run may
not be so stimulating.
1t may be grass fire, easily put out with
extinguishers. 1t may be some deserted
shack which should have been torn down
long ago. It may be minor damage to a
building.
But, on the other hand, it may be fire
that puts the biggest employing concern IN
town out of business for mOnths-Or fire
that destroys a house that represents the
savings and labor of years-Or fire that
burns somebody to death.
Whatever kind of fire it is, great or small
costly or unimportant, it makes it's cOntri
button to our disgraceful record of fire waste
Maybe the damage to building only runs
into a few hundred dOllars-a sum so small
as to be hardly worth talking about. Tha
was the little fire you saw. But, day afte
day, month after month, year after year
thousands of such fires occur. And that
when we add in the occasional cOnflagratiOl
that does damage running past the million
marks why American careleSSnesS wit
fire costs us we'll over half billion year.
The signal bell sounds in the statiO
house and the red engine answers anOthe

ture. Scientific records of their growth have
been kept and much has been learned by gov
ernment, state and college poultry scientists
who have supervised the project. A cash
award of $4,000 will go to the winning breed
er and runners-up will shart $4,000 in addi-
tional prizes.
For years past the poultry industry ma
tiOnally has been more interested in egg
production than in the production of fowl
for eating. Eighty per cent of the CONNER
cial poultry meat was sold as a mere by
product of egg production instead of an
Independent cO-prOduct. In 1915 Canadian
poultrymen were addressed by. Howard c.
Pierce, poultry research director of the A.
and p Food Stores, who pointed out the need
of developing better meat-type chickens The
industry accepted Pierces challenge and the
Chicken-o-TOmOrrOw program began official
ly in 1916. Specifications for an ideal bird
were drawn up by poultry scientists. These
called for bird with well-rounded breast,
moderately short neck, plump and meaty
legs and carcass well covered with fat.
The aim is for more white meat, bigger
drumsticks and better proportion of meat
to bone Egg production was also to be kept
high. Since 1916 numerous contests have
been conducted with the idea of better ac-
uuainting the industry with the desired re-
suits. The product has become increasingly
better. The contest ending today has seen
the desired accomplishment brought nearer.
In the future buyers of chickens may well
look to the ideal bird with the large double
breast such as the turkey breeders have de-
veloped over a period of years. Delaware,
and the Eastern Shore Counties of Maryland
and Virginia are placing well in the fore
front in these efforts to produce the Chicken

The success of Operation Boot

the scientists can make the process.
At present most fashionable mater
ial has to come from the elaborate
atomic plants that have been con-
structed at a cost of more than two

terial to bypass these plants.
In a practical way, here's what
Operation BOOtstrap means: The
British use about SO billion kilo-
watt hours of electricity a year
They estimate it would take 1000
tons of uranium to produce thai
much of electricity. But the worlds
entire production of uranium il
y939-the last year for which fig
ureS are available-was only 1000
tons.

the world and the rate at which i

but the British say the known fig
ures are significant. They say tina

WHAT WE EAT
In the years ahead we certainly will have

then will have One World, we must assume
that there will be no tariffs nor further talk
about nationalism. Then our food will be
raised where God intended it to be raised
which is the only way that world peace can be
established and maintained. If such a system
were adopted at once, it could reduce the cost
of agricultural products 500. Furthermore,
if the homes schools and food advertisers
would cooperate to get the American people
to eat what and we should, we all would
live to be 100 years old.
Scientists tell us that with every rainfall
vitamins and minerals are being washed from
the soil. These flow down the streams into
the ocean. Hence while the land and it's
products are constantly getting poorer, the
ocean and its products are constantly getting
richer. Today the ocean is controlled only
within three miles of the different countries
which its borders. When we have One World
this control will apply to the entire ocean

By Charles L. EgenrOad

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The thir-
ty-One members of the SOth Con-
gress who co-authored the resolu-
ton calling for an explanation of
Russian violations of agreements
with this country are wondering if
President Truman's "get tough"
policy with Russia isn't just an
other plea for votes.
In San Francisco, the President
called for an end to Soviet obstruc-
tiOn and aggression, declaring that
1--WE refuse to play fast and loose
with mans hope for peace.
He said that if the Russians
want peace they "can prove it" in
Greece and Korea.
Mr.. Truman failed to mention
that Russia might prove it's will
ingness to assure peace by proper
action in Poland. After all, Mr..
Truman was party to the Pots
dam Conference where SOviet-Am-
erican agreements were finally ap-
proved.
This is the agreement which Mr.
Truman told Congress was viO-
lated in Poland:
1.-The three powers note that the
Polish provisional government . .
has agreed to hold free and un-
fettered elections, as soon as pOSS-
ible on the basis of universal suf-
frage and secret ballot, in which
all democratic an danti-NaZi par
ties shall have the right to take
part and to put forward candidates
:" (POtsdam Agreement, August
2, 1945.)

the violations as sent to Congress
says:
