JUNE IN JANUARY: Liz
Doonan and Nancy GUIDE gave a
luncheon for soon-to-be-married
Allie Williams at the Columbia
Country Club on Saturday. There
was certainly an orange blossom
tinge to the lovely affair-tulips
and roses adorned the table and
the place. card for each guest was
decorated with a wedding bell tied
with lily-the hostesses presented
the honor guest, Allie, corsage
of white camellias and her mother
one of pale pink camellias. For
this occasion Allie chose a very
becoming blue frock and hat to
match. Fashion-setting Nancy
was smart in winter beige-Liz
was in black with a very fetching
black hat accented with a mauve
bow. Others on the guest list in
cluded "these charming people,"
Mrs. Adolph GUIDE, Sr., Mrs.
Frank Williams, Rose Buckingham,
Marcella Prescott, Cissie Williams,
Tony Prescott, Mary Anne Veirs,

FASHION TIPS: If you are
at low ebb you probably need
spring shot in your wardrobe
when you shop remember this as
a color guide:
Red gives you a glow (does for
you what nothing else CAM
Green makes you interesting.
Purple makes you look dignified.
Black and Brown shows up all
of your defects-lines, wrinkles
and rolls.
Pink and Blue give the illusion
of youth and love-(Ziegfeld
always put pink on his Follies'
girls when they look tired.)
Il
TO THE VIDEO SET: Now
that we are staying at home nights
looking at television, women are
finding that hostess gowns are
almost a necessity for relaxing
and lounging-No, just an old
housecoat won't do the trick. Re-
member, you have to be alluring
for your family so get yourself a
pretty new taffeta or jersey one.
COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT:
"Why don't you come off of South
Washington Street and find out
what's going on?"
Answer: Just remember, SUI
garfoot, my number is in the tele-
phone directory love choicey

Bill Redding HonOred
For 4-H Club Work

As a reward for his construc.
tive efforts in soil saving, 1S-yesr-
old William Morris Redding has
been named the top Delaware State
winner in the 1850 National All
Club Soil and Water Conservation
awards program
Williams state award is a gold
watch engraced with his name, pro-
vided by the FirestOne Tire and
Rubber Company. The program is
conducted by the Extension Ser
vice of the State Agricultural Col
lege with gSDA cooperating.
On his fathers SO4-acre farm in
New Castle County, Newark, VIII
liam has practiced soil and water
conservation methods for the past
four years. Now a sophomore at
the University of Delaware, viii
liam feels that the most important
soil conservation practice to date
was a strip cropping program car
rled out on two fields. The fence
had to be removed between The
fields and the strips were laid
out on the contour. In alternate
strips, barley and wheat were
planted. The following spring the
barley was plowed under for a
green manure crop and the wheat
vas left to be harvested. The plow-
ed-under strips were planted with
corn.
An additional 9-acre plot, now in
alfalfa, is planned for strips on a
three-year rotation basis. In the
years to. come, all of the farm will
be planted in cOntOured strips ex-
cept the permanent pasture.
A group of 1,5OO pines has been
planted for beauty and will also
serve as refuge for wild. life

'See~Ability' Important
In Home, Says Agent

"OUr one set of eyes are about
the most precious possessions we
have, so let's take care of them. -
said Mrs. Maybelle Long, Sussex
County Home Demonstration Agent.
See-ability becomes increasing
ly important now that winter and
shorter days are coming"
Mrs. Long warns that glare is
hard on eyes; bare bulbs should
be shaded. Light Innings in lamp-
shades reflect light and add to the
amount of light available. With
age and use, many shades, este-
clally those of parchment, become
drab and discolored. If they're in
good condition they can be painted
so as to give up to so per cent
more light. If the parchment
seems oily, shellac it before paint
ing.
All portable lamps should no
placed close to whatever Won are
working on, preferably within "a
to 80 inches of the object. Tbev
should also be adjusted to one side
or rear of the task to prevent glare
and shadows. '' =
Always keep lamps and fixtures
clean, or you are robbing yourself
OF half the light you're paying for
warns Mrs. Long. Wash reflector
bowls in soap and water. Use .
slightly damp cloth on the bulbs
when they are turned off and
the lamps are disconnected. Shades
can be washed, dry cleaned. or inst
ousted depending on the fabric. Re
member, too, that light ceilings
and walls reflect light so keen
them clean and as light colored as
possible. ~ '''

Chilkoot Won't Pay Taxes Because They're Too High

The reason the town of Vacco and the Port Chilkoot Company haven't paid their school taxes, is because they think those taxes are too high, a witness testified in the court of Judge George Folta at Juneau last week. The school district has put up the former Chilkoot Barracks property for tax sale, and the whole matter was hauled into court by the Chilkat Valley axpayers League, an organization formed
 to fight the payment of the school taxes, as assessed in 1948.
