BETTER HEALTH
CHILD PROGRAM
Effective School Health Pro-
gram Urged by State
Board of Health
USE INSECT SPRAY DDT

With the re-opening of schools
in Delaware this month, the State
Board of Health is urging parents
and teachers to work together in
building an effective school health
program. Health officials stress
that not only is it important that
our children have adequate medical
care and protection, acquire right
practices of sleep, rest and play,
but also that it is equally import
ant that their surroundings be con-
genial, pleasant and sanitary. Flies
are particularly plentiful at this
time of year and the Sanitation
Department of the State Board of
Health is urging that protective
measures be taken by both city and
rural schools to prevent the spread
of those diseases which may possi-
bly, be transmitted by flies, such as
typhoid fever, intestinal diseases of
childhood and poliomyelitis. Screen
ing the windows and doors of
school buildings helps to some ex-
tent, but depending upon getting
rid of flies by swatting them after
they get in is futile. To deal ef-
fectively with flies it is necessary
Smyrna times., 1948-09-16

to do one or both of two things,
according to Mr.. R. C. Beckett,
State Sanitary Engineer.
1. Spray with DDT. This pro-
duct developed during the war is
effective for weeks after being ap-
piled. Flies and certain other in
sects are killed after coming into
contact with walls, screens, etc.
which have been treated, even
though the spraying occurred some
time ago.
2. Destroy breeding places of
flies. Proper sanitary precautions
must be taken especially in rural
schools where there are outside
toilets. Also there should be a
place to keep lunches in the school
room, and in one-room schools
where the classroom serves as a
lunchroom as well as in larger
schools where cafeterias are pro-
vided, the children should realize
the importance of cleaning up any
spilled food or crumbs. Much pro-
gress has been made in dealing
with the fly both as a disease car
rier and as a nuisance, but much
remains to be done. 1t is the hope
of the State Board of Health that
each school health program will in
clude the Importance of sanitation
in all it's phases and that Della
wares children will become active
workers in this campaign against
illness and filth.

Truman Is Labeled
Stable, Effective
In New Biography

HARRY TRUMAN, PRESIDENT
BY Frank McNaughton and Wal
ter Hehmeyer. (Whittlesey
House; s3)
Reviewed by
JOSEPH A. FOX.
The authors of 1.-THE Man Tru-
man." a biographical study of the
political career of the President up
to the time he entered the White
House, have done another first-rate
job of reporting in this story of the
Missourian's three years in Office.
The treatment accorded is thor
oughly objective, and there is an in
cisive presentation of the day-by-
day developments along the intricate
path this Nation has travelled in the
evolution from full-scale war to an
uneasy peace.
In the end, the authors reach this
conclusion:
"Assuredly, Harry Truman, by
1913, cannot be stamped as failure
as President of the United States.
Viewed against the background OF
tremendous problems which were
obtruding themselves when he took
Office, his administration often
times appeared surprisingly stable
and effective. There is much that
the President might wish to have
forgotten, but there is also much of
which he and his supporters may be
justly proud"

CORDELL HULL
1.-THE Macmillan Co., NeD York,
$I0.50J (T,Do uolumesJ
Reviewed, by
GARRETT D. HORNER.
After more than half century of
public service that brought him
from the hills of Tennessee to world
recognition as the Father of the
United Nations" Cordell Hull is
alarmed that Americans now are
taking their way of life too much
for granted.
He sounds solemn note of warn
ting in the concluding chapter of
his account of his rich life as noun
tain farm boy, State legislator,
judge, member of the House and
Senate and Secretary of State, now
published in two volumes after the
high lights were printed serially in
The Star and other newspapers re-
Gently.
Enlightened interest in Govern
ment by all Americans is the safe
guard of their liberties, Mr.. Hull
writes. This requires real time,
sacrifice and effort :. day by day,
week by. week, year by year, and not

just during a presidential or con-
gressional campaign"
He emphasizes that unless there
is greter awakening, more intelli-
gence and more alertness on the
part Of the people everywhere, espe-
cially with respect to international
affairs, and a greater understand
ing of what Government officials are
trying to do, liberty and democracy
are destined to a more dangerous
and uncertain existence than that
which they have recently so pain
fully experienced"
Saw Great Changes.
Mr.. Hulrs memoirs span a time
Of great change in American life. In
the isolated hill country where he
was reared he was IA years old be-
fore he saw daily newspaper; IS
before he saw a train. But he took
a great interest in public affairs and
made his first political speech at IT.
He was elected to the State LegiS-
lature a month after he was 81.
During that period, he recalls, IT
began to build up my political Bible. "
Basing his political tenets on JET
fersonian principles, he considered
himself a liberal and later a "Wil-
sonian progressive" who thought the
New Deal went too far in some
aspects.
He tells in detail his long fight as
a member of the House for Federal
income taxation and other progress
sive measures that are taken for
granted now. He also recalls that in
1882 speech he quoted from So
year-old economic writings the
phrase "the forgotten man." which
later was used frequently by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In Greater Detail.
The extensive portion of Mr.. Hul's
memoirs dealing with his nearly IL
years service as Secretary OF State
already is known in large part to
readers of the excerpts previously
published by The Star, and so needs
no detailed review here. Readers of
the memoirs in book form will find
this first-hand account of recent
history intensely interesting in its
analysis of men and events, with
considerable more detail than could
be included in the newspaper in
stallments.
Mr.. Hulls memoirs, particularly
his story of Americas part in world
affairs from 1888 to his resignation
as Secretary of State in 1914, have
the double value of personal recol-
lection and complete Recommendation.
He had access to all pertinent doc
uments in State Department files in
writing his story, and draws heavily
on them.
Still confined to the Bethesda
Naval Hospital by the i'll health that
forced him to retire nearly four
years ago, Mr. Hull was assisted in
preparation of his memoirs by
Andrue Berding, who covered the
State Department for the Associated
Press during much of his tenure as
Secretary. without him this book
would not have been written" Mr..
Hull writes in fyleaf note.

ments are mentioned-livesi in cot
tage on Cape Cod with his young
wife and baby. His former wife
Mara and their 17-year-old twins,
Bayard and Beth, suddenly appear
and ask temporary shelter in view
Of terrifying radio reports. Some
sort of atomic missile has fallen on
New York, and the city is reported
paralyzed. Mark opens the house
to his divorced wife, much to the
displeasure of his present wife,
Blanca.
Things get more complicated
when the man known as Glare
Locke, whose real name is Torch,
Biancas former sweetheart, shows
up. Lorch's face was burned off in
World War II and plastic surgery
has provided new countenance far
from fiattering. Another unwel-
come member of the unlimited house
party is Mara's boy friend, Lew
Dachill, a reactionary heel who
trailed Lorch during the war be-
cause of Lorch's Communist affilia-
tions.
These persons seem much more
concerned with their loves and
hates than with the fate of New
York and of the country. They eat,
sleep and pretend; their real feel
ings burst out here and there.
Turning the radio on and off capri
ciously, they move toward tragedy
in their own lives which obliterates
thought of the undisclosed number
of dead in the metropolis.
The story is heavy with symbol
ism, though it is not always clear
what Mr.. Frank is driving at. A
line of propaganda emerges now
and then, as when the radio an
nouncer, explaining the state of
emergency imposed against the I'M
named enemy, adds: 90 the De-
partment of Justice issued a ruling
that under the new laws any labor
er who, individually or through &C
ton of union to which he belongs,
disobeys, criticizes or otherwise i'm
pedes the enactment of these laws,
is declared guilty of treason and is
to be shot without court-martial
The characters hardly are identi-
fable as human beings. Perhaps
Mr.. Frank intends them to be SYM
bols-of one thing or another. The
author, nonetheless, can write
haunting phrases and moving de-
scriptions. The trouble is that at
other times his prose is merely
self conscious, directing attention
to itself rather than to what it de-
pictS.
