Mrs. Paul Kellogg
Century Club Speaker
Was Education Day At Milford
Club On Monday

Mrs. Paul Kellogg of Dover. vice
president of Kent County of the
Council for Delaware Education.
Inc, and a member of it's execu-
tive committee, spoke before the
Milford New Century Club on Mon
day. 1t was Education Day on the
club calendar, of which Mrs. Her
man r. Phillips is chairman. Mrs.
Kellogg gave considerable back
ground of Delaware education.
when democratic education began.
the birth of taxes for uniform edu-
cation in 1897 and the beginning in
1919 of the Delaware code until the
present day. She spoke of mass
education, 400 of which pupils has
verbal mind and 500 of which
are best with their hands. The
cOmplexity of teaching, the lack
of teachers, the inadequate school
buildings and the present day
problems of increased population
were given as a preparation for
her talk on proposed legislation
beneficial to the school system in
Delaware. Bills will be intrOduc-
ed with reference to increased sal
aries for teachers, to liberalizing
the pension system, a $50 day
school year, a proposition whereby
schools with few pupils may be
closed and provision for school
nurses and some principle for sab
batical leave for teachers. Mrs
Kellogg said in conclusion that on
these very things may hinge the
future of education in Delaware
or even the democratic way in the
nation. Questions followed the
talk.
New members voted into the club
this week were Mrs. Carl Allen
Mrs. Ira Garbutt, Mrs. Frank Glen
daniel and Mrs. Harvey Davidson.
A group of fifth grade pupils, un-
der the direction of Miss Adele
Nepley, supervisor of music in the

Blue Hen Post
To Launch
Member Drive
Local Drive Is In Line
With Nationwide Set
Up; Post Presently Has
231 Active Members.

In line with a nationwide men,
bership drive by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Blue Hen Post No
6483, Of Milford, is starting SINH
lar drive of it's own this weekend.
The local drive, aimed at increasing
the post membership to $50 active
members, will continue throughout
the remainder of the current year
At present, Blue Hen Post, al
though only a little over two and
One-half years old, has 231 men,
berS, the largest membership of any
V. F. w. post in Delaware south of
Wilmington, and the largest men,
bership of any Veterans-type organ
iZatiOn in the state south of Dover.
The past growth has been due in a
large part, to the all-year-arOund
program of community benefit
sponsored by the post. AS a result
of this program, which has included
assistance to needy veterans and
their dependents, local observance
of national holidays, a free Blood
Donors service, and sponsorship of
community basketball and baseball
teams, Blue Hen Post has built up a
tremendous amount of goodwill,
with the result that Milford is often
referred to i'll veterans circles as
being a ". F. unconscious COM
munity"
Despite the rapid growth of the
post and it's standing invitation to
all eligible overseas veterans to
affiliate themselves with Blue Hen
Post, there still are some eligible
veterans in the area who are not, as
! yet, members. 1t is this latter group
that Blue Hen Post hopes to acquire
as members during the drive that
begins this weekend. There are
also veterans in neighbOring towns
such as Lincoln, Frederick, and
Harrington, who are eligible for
Veterans of Foreign Wars member
ship, but whose home communities
do not, as yet, have local posts
these veterans are being urged tC
affiliate themselves with the Milford
/ post or with some other V. T. W
1 post near them.
