An Editorial
Pleasant Visit

TWO SUNDAYS BEFORE Easter
we visited a nursery to ask about
a particular vine we had seen grow
ing but could not find in any cat
alog.
Starting out to be prosaic bust
ness, it turned into one of those rare
and long to-be-remembered, pleas
ant experiences.
The greenhouses were at their
loveliest. The nurserynan was
true lover of plants and flowers. AS
he walked among them we felt he
must talk to them and they to him.
The nursery was a glorious place
of colors and perfumes. There were
tulips, those harbingers of spring,
in all their gorgeous colors. There
were roses, from the tiny pale pink
sweethearts to the larger, stately
ones of deepest, richest crimson;
snapdragons, canary yellow, mauve,
lavender, ruby red, coppery crimson
and soft creamy white; carnations,
Glove scented, deeply fringed in reds
and pinks.
There were the hundreds of Easter
lilies with buds waiting the appoint
ed moment to burst forth in all their
regal glory; also the pure white
callas, fairest of all the lily family.
Then there were the trays and
trays and pots and pots of tiny seed
lings and small plants-pansies, pc
tunias, marigolds, asters, sweet alys-
sum, ageratum, canterbury bells, vi
olas, chrysanthemums, delphinium,
sedums and all the host of little
known other flowers and plants
each with its own personality and
reason for being.
To the nurseryman each had it:
particular place in the garden-somt
to trail over rocks and scarcely bs
seen unless one looked carefully
others tall and colorful and known
to all.
A tour through a greenhouse wit
one who knows and loves ever
flower is something to remember. A
we walked along the paths the nul
seryman would snip off a rose
order that we might see more close
1y its delicate coloring, or a carns
ton with special spicy scent, or
pansy of unusual size or viola, tt
deepest violet blue. At the end
the trip, we had a bouquet, eac
flower with special reason for b
ing.
When we babe our host goodb.
and thanked him for the pleasat
two hours and the bouquet of floN
ers, he replied with a sly hint
humor, "Well, it's no fun to go vi:
a bakery and come away with not
ing but the odor."
And incidentally, we found t
particular species of ivy which h
been acclimated to our rigorous wi

MEANING OF
ROAD SIGNS
Various Shaped Signs and
Signals Give Warnings
To MOtOrist
SAFETY EDUCATION

Know your signs of Life!"
This was the warning to Della
wares drivers today in support of
the Delaware Safety Councils re-
Gently announced August program
of highway safety education.
Although the Importance of
knowing and obeying traffic signs
may seem almost too basic to men
tion the number of drivers today
who don't know the difference be-
tween a stop" sign and "Slow"
sign is startling.
Re-educating the driver-public
to the forms and meanings of var
ious highway signs, and the con-
sequences they face in not recog-
nizing them, the Council announc-
ed, is the motivation for this
months public information pro-
gram.
In 1948, for every 100 drivers
involved in a fatal accident, there
We're % instances of a sign, signal,
or traffic officer having been over
looked or deliberately ignored. No
traffic violation can be more flag
rant than one of this nature.
The Council pointed out that
most drivers are only aware that
highway signs come in several
shapes and colors and pay scant
attention to the significance of
these differences.
All highway signs fall into five
groups. Three Of these shapes have
exclusive uses. The round, octag-
onal, and crossbuck signs mean
railroad approach" stop" and
"caution-railroad," respectively.
The other two basic sign shapes
are more general in nature. Dia-
mond shaped signs, are fundament-
ally symbols of an approaching
condition that might be dangerous,
and are advisory in nature. Into
this group fall the curve warnings,
the slippery when wet" notices,
and SO forth. The oblong signs,
however have the teeth of the law
in them and must be obeyed. These
signs include speed limits, no-pass-
ing, no U-turn, and similar signs.

Active Duty for Navy Men

In a further effort to build up
the Navy's manpower situation,
Chief Carwile, Recruiter in charge
of the local U. S. Navy Recruiting
Station, announced this week that
information had been received to
the effect that all personnel of the
Navy and Marine Corps hereafter
transferring to he Fleet Navy Re-
serve or Fleet Marine Corps Re-
serve would be continued on active
duty upon transfer. The Fleet Re-
serve is comprised Of those indiv-
iduals within the United States
Navy and Marine Corps who have
completed twenty or more years
active duty. In ordinary times,
these persons apply for transfer to
the Fleet Reserve and when trans
ferred, are placed on inactive duty
and may return to civilian life.
However, in critical times, the De-
partment of the Navy may retain
these men on active duty; and in
view of the critical need for expert
enced personnel at the present time
such procedure has now become
necessary. The local Navy Re
cruiting Station is located in the

Food for Thought

Gardens are bursting with fresh
vegetables every day. Tomatoes,
lettuce, cucumbers and onions
come to the table within a few
minutes of the growing period. If
your yard does not boast a garden,
you'll find, in stores and at road
side stands, great quantities of
these plus many varieties of vege-
tables for which the average gar
den doesn't allow space.
These foods bring to your table
the tossed vegetable salad. This
salad can be repeated frequently.
Most families, instead of tiring of
it, request it more often. You're
missing a lot, if you don't enjoy a
good tossed salad with perfect
dressing several times a week.
There is no limit to the variety of
vegetables that can be used or it
may be a simple combination of
two or three. The important
points are to have all the vege-
tables as fresh and crisp as possi-
BILE. Chop these foods at the last
minute before serving. They re-
tain their fresh qualities better if
prepared just prior to serving and
after being cut, each exposed area
increases the rate by which food
value is lost. Keep all vegetables
cold until serving time.
Then don't be afraid to be ad-
venturous with dressings. Try the
vinegars of various flavor. A
French dressing is preferred.
