le4S Packing Earnings

By the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-All- time rec
ords in sales and profits in the meat
packing industry last year probably
will not be equaled this year." the
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
said yesterday. -
Reasons given were recurrent
>hortages of livestock supplies, work
5top9ages affecting the largest pro-
ouc-rs and rising costs.
Tie report was made in the banks
second annual supplement to its
"finan>.el and economic survey of
the meat packing industry" first
publi1,cd in 1916.
by met measures, however" the
report continued, the industry con-
tlnues to be in a strong position.
In considering prospects for next
year, the bank said present indica-
tions are that total meat production
during the next calendar year ma
increase as much as 2 to S per cent
over the 1948 level.

University Notes

An Institute of Delaware History
and Culture to foster active interest
in the states past and contempor-
airy life and institutions, has been
organized at the University of Del
aware.
DR.. John A. Monroe, assistant
professor of history at the Univer-
sity, who is chairman of the insti-
tute, explained that the institute
will operate not only at the Uni
yersity but in all communities of
the state, in cooperation with Or
CARNATIONS of similar interests.
such as the Historical Society of
Delaware, the Archaeological SOcie-
ty and the State Archives.
This new organization has
grown out of the efforts of several
members of the various DEPART
ments of humanities and social
science at the University, who have
sought in this way to focus and
stimulate interest in the history
and culture of Delaware" said DIR
MunrOe. Its functions include the
encouragement of research and
scholarly activities of faculty and
others in the field, the collection of
source material and data, and dis
semlnatlon of information through
publications and lectures.
The immediate plans of the or
ganlzation include a number Of lee
lures in the field of Delaware his
tory and culture, and sponsorship of

a group of research projects, some
of which already are underway.
These mainly are related to the as
sembling of basic data on the eco
nomic life in Delaware.
Faculty members at the Univer-
sity join the institute by submitting
brief statements as to work in the
field which they are doing or hone
to do. Non-voting associate mem
bership is open to nOn-active facul-
ty members and other interested
persons in the state.
In addition to DR.. Munroe. the Of
icers include: DR.. Frederick B.
Parker, associate professor of So

tive committee consisting of the

billions, fears, feeling about his
family, and social attitudes.

youngster and his home. She gives
parents an outlet, they call for con-
sultation and the counsellor saws.

The cornerstone of her scheme is
to point out the likeness of chill
dren, rather than the differences
among them.
Her motive is to give children a
good start in school before they
guess what's happening and catch
on to the devious devices of iuve-

spent on the project and the Board
Of Education has decided to add to
the staff a regular teacher for this

Chef Sings
His Way Out
Of Kitchens
APP Newsfeatures


CHICAGO - Patrick Curran, 81
year-Old lyric tenor who doesn't
read a note of music, is laying aside
culinary tools for a singing career.
Thirteen weeks after he arrived
from England, Pat landed a job as
chef of the Sherman Hotels College
Inn. Appearing on a local amateur
radio program, he won first prize
for singing "A Little Bit of Heaven"
in an Irish manner
The singing contest opened the
opportunity door when the general
manager of the hotel invited Pat to
make a guest performance in the
Inn show.
Audiences who heard Pat sing
applauded for encores and he was
signed for a regular singing en-
gagement.
Billed as the Singing Chef" Cur
rams previous experience in sing
ing was when he gave imprOmptu
concerts for troops abroad British
ships during the war. He had served
II years in the British Merchant
Marine as a cook.
His dream of studying voice in
Italy by arrangement of a priest of
Wishaw, Scotland, where Pat was
reared, was shattered by the war.
Patrick was born in Antrim, Nor
thern Ireland. When his mother
died his father came to the United
States in 1922. Now a naturalized
American citizen, Curran's father
spent two years getting the neces-
sary papers for his sons family
wife and two children-to enter the
country.

NEW YORK A modern mental
hygiene project is being demon
atrated by the National Committee
of Mental Hygiene for New York
City's board of education.
The first proving ground is Pub
lie School SO in a tenement dis
trict. 1T is one Of four all-day neigh
borhood schools with an enriched
curriculum and an augmented staff
for after-class activities.
The mental hygiene project, un-
der the direction Of Mrs. Evelyn
Adlerblum, is a unique experiment
10 find practical means Of prevent
ing psychological Ills
Get at the reason behind a per-
sons behavior-and you can change
the behavior" is the projects pre-
mise.
Our FIVE year olds, the director
says, Shows us stories of them
selves at play. We have only to look
carefully to find meaning in it. Play
is the mirror Of a young child's
life In it he shows the world the
story Of himself"
The schools psychological pro-
gram exists only from kindergarten
through the first grade with a modi-
fed fOllOW-up in the second and
third grades. The psychological
counsellor sits out the potential
problem pupils in the first three
months they are in the school. Mrs.
Adlerblum's corrections begin thus:
Those who are shy, over-aggres-
sive, foreign born, or in some other
way different are taken out of the
class periodically for special play.
1t IS found that play in small
group, guided by a sympathetic adj
ult, helps to reinforce them for the
larger class.
1T also enables the mental by
giene worker to observe and inter-
pref their individual behavior. The
play data gathered here and in the
class room are compared with the
chiidren's home records in order TO
give the teachers helpful informa-
ton about the children"
Mrs. Adlerblum finds: Every
day pressures of families come
through readily in dramatic play.
Alice likes to play house and she
is concerned about paying rent.

Home Service
Head Resigns
/. G. Burton Announces
Resignation OF August
F. Faix AS Red Cross
Worker.

Irwin G. Burton, chairman of
Area No. of the Delaware Chap
ter, American Red Cross, has an
nounced the resignation of August
FaiX, of Kings Highway, Milford
as Red Cross Home Service Chair
man for Milford.
Mr.. Faix accepted the RESPONSE
bilitye Of being Home Service Chair
man of Milford for Red Cross ten
years ago and has been active IN
until very recently. Mr.. Faix has
stated he regrets the fact that he
must resign this position but finds
the pressure of work in his busi-
ness makes it necessary for him to
give up this particular activity be-
cause he no longer has the time to
devote to the study and consider
alton of the Red Cross cases. He
is well-knOwn in the community
for his leadership in other local or
ganizations, as we'll, and for his
association with the L. d. Caulk
Company of Milford.
Prior to, during and since World
War II, Mr. Faix. in his Red Cross
capacity, assisted servicemen, vet
Grams and their families during
time of personal trouble and finan-
cial diculties. He assisted service
men in filing for family allowances
He verified emergency situations
arising in servicemen's homes SO
that emergency furloughs could be
granted. He financially assisted
families with Red Cross funds
when, through some mistake, a gov
ernment check did not arrive and
the soldiers family was faced with
no income for month or two.
Since the war. Mr., Faix has help
ed veterans file for claims for back
pay, pensions, review of discharge
the return of World War III dead
burial allowance and many other
benefits to which veterans are en-
titled, but which are confusing to a
veteran who doesn't know how to
apply for these things.
