Chicken FavOrite
Holiday Treat

Fried chicken for Fourth OF july
nicnics is part of our American
heritage. And Miss Gertrude Hol-
loway, extension nutritonist IoF
the University of Delaware, points
ont that right now chicken holds
favorable position both in the mar
kets and in the family diet.
Chicken rates high in food value,
its protein content. builds tissues,
its minerals build red blood, strong
teeth and bones, and its vitamlnS
promote growth and stimulate ap-
petites.
Chicken is versatile, too, says
Miss Holloway, being adapted to a
number of recipes, ranging from
ever-popular fried and broiled
chicken to barbequed chicken and
chicken a la king. The success oi
a chicken dish lies in the method
of cooking. Choose the bird suited
TO the cooking method. Young ten
der chicken may be cooked by dry
heat such as broiling, frying ant
end roasting, while older chickens
should not be cooked by tnoiet heat
Slow cooking at low temperature
is best resulting in less shrinkag'
end more tender, attractive meat.

CONCENTRATIONS
SEAFORD LEADER

Another Delaware weekly newspaper has
met the requirements for membership in the
Greater Weeklies national organization and
has been accepted as member of that or
gairizatiof The Seaford Leader, edited and
owned by Wright Robinson, to day joins this
seIect-group of weeklies. The Milford ChrOn-
icle which was the first Delaware weekly to
qualify for membership in the organization,
and which has held exclusive membership
rights for Sussex County, waived the exclu-
sive county franchise so that the Leader
might be accepted. The final arrangements
were completed last Saturday The Seaford
Leader thus becomes the third weekly news
paper in Delaware to become members. The
Dover Index was accepted several months
ago. One additional weekly newspaper in
Delaware is now being Investigated to learn
whether it could qualify for membership.
Should the investigation prove that it can
meet the stringent qualifications, an invita-
ton to join will be issued. If, or when, this
weekly is invited and accepts membership
the list for Delaware will be permanently
closed. No more than four weeklies will be
accepted from this state We congratulate
Wright Robinson upon his acceptance to this
group. The Leader is worthy addition to
Greater Weeklies.

Plan Now For
Summer Picnics

To many people, a picnic is a
must" for the holidays and other.
summer evenings. Picnics for the
family are likely to be easier and
more successful If a picnic corner
of the kitchen or other convenient
center is arranged for the season,
suggests Maybelle Ligon, Sussex
County Home Demonstration
Agent. Utensils and dishes needed
should be set aside in one place so
the family can pick up and go
whenever the picnic urge comes
on. In the picnic corner, Miss Lig-
on suggests that you keep handy
basket, thermos jug, lightweight
picnic plates and cups, paper nap
kins, wax paper or sandwich bags,
salt and pepper shakers, sugar con-
tainers and other essentials for a
picnic.
A list of items usually needed for
picnics posted on wall or cupboard
nearby can be checked the last
minute to be sure nothing is for
gotten.
A picnic meal, according to Miss
Ligion, never has to be expensive
indigestible or difficult to prepare
1t can include all the protective
foods needed by various ages IN
the family-fresh fruits, raw veg
etables, eggs, milk, fruit drinks
sandwiches made with meat, fish
eggs or other protein fillers-witl
all of the "fixings" in the basket
YOU can pack up and head for some
"picnic spot" on short notice.

Ball is considered the bell-weather

for him to know every detail of an
amendment or bill under consider

EDUCATING FOR FREEDOM
Labor circles left wing groups and the like, are
all telling their story Whom do industralists groom
to speak for management at conventions, high
schools, on the radio at the Parent-Teacher AssOc
