FARMERS IN
GOOD STANDING
Plant and Equipment of Dela.
ware Farms Never Been
in Better Condition
H. R. BODLEY REPORTS

The plant and equipment of Del
aware farms has never been in bet
ter condition, and the states farm
ers are prepared to meet any
emergency that may lie ahead, ac-
cording to Harley r. Bodley, pres
ident of Fruit Growers National
Bank and Trust Company, who
represents the Delaware Bankers
Association as a county key bank
er. zone of the best indications
of this is that Delaware farmers
borrowed less from banks during
1949 than during 194s," Mr.. Bod
ley said.
Reporting on the results of the
ninth national survey of farm lend
ing made by the Agricultural Com
mission of the American Bankers
Association, Mr. Bodley noted that
there was a decline in both the
number of new loans and the total
amount borrowed from banks by
Delaware farmers last year. This
decline is particularly healthy" he
said, 'in view of the present uncer-
tainties and the slight drop in farm
income. 1t shows that farmers are
wisely avoiding excessive debt and
are holding on to their reserves to
meet any possible emergency"
Mr.. Bodley stated that "in 1949,
the last full year of operation, the
3s Delaware banks serving agricul-
tural communities loaned $4,703,-
900 to 1852 farmers to meet all
types of financial needs. This is a
decline from the 1925 farm loans,
totaling $4,9O0,00 made by banks
in 1948. OF the total amount loan
ed last year, $3,913,000 were bor-
rowed by 2,493 farmers to finance
production and ,operational re-
quirements. Of these loans, only
$2,648,OOO were outstanding on
January 1, 1850.
During the year, there were 260
farmers, representing 28 per cent
of the farmers in the state, who
made farm real estate loans in an
aggregate amount of $790,000. The
prosperity of the states farmers
is shown by the fact that only
$6,603, 900 in real estate loans were
outstanding at the beginning of
this year.
"The total of all bank-held farm
debt in Delaware on January 1,
1850, was $9,251, ,0O0."
Mr.. Bodley noted that one of the
brightest aspects of the present
farm debt situation is the small
size of the average loan, indicat-
ing the service that banks are
rendering to the owners of small
farms in particular. The average
loan for production purposes was
only $1,57O, and the average loan
made on farm real estate was only
$3,O38.
with the pent-up demand Tor
equipment caused by World War
II apparently satisfied" Mr.. Bod
ley said, "a larger and larger per-
centage of farm borrowings nave
been going into other long range
improvements. These improve
ments, along with the growing
trend of Delaware farmers to prac-
tice modern conservation and land
management, will assure the inn
portance of the state in the agr-
cultural picture for years to come.

Keith's Outrage Is Honest

OUTRAGE" an RKO release, pro-
duced by Collier Young. directed by Ida
Lupino screenplay by Young, Malvin Wald
and Miss Lupino. At Keith's
Evening star., 1950-10-26
By Horry Macarthur

The people in Outrage" are
great ones for pouring cups of
coffee which they quickly aban-
don after one sip. They are as
hard on the nerves as those peo-
pie in the movies who light
cigarettes and never smoke them
and mix highballs and never
drink them. Aside from this mi
nor irritant there is nothing to
complain seriously about in the
new picture at Keith's.
Ida Lupino. who directed Out
rage" for Producer Collier Young,
has great liking for the frank,
blunt look at subjects which
Hollywood has hitherto ignored.
In the new picture she turns her
attention and yours on the tragic
plight of a rape victim and she
does it forcefully enough that you
are not likely to have a more
kindly attitude toward those who
commit sex crimes or toward
loose laws which don't stop them.
The script, a collaboration be-
tween the producer, the director
and Malvin Wald, does have a
contrived look at times. The at
tack victim, for instance, is al
lowed by what seems to be a fair
ly large business firm to work
late at night alone and unpro-
tected. Then, before the deed is
done, she fees for blocks through
a business area which never
would be that deserted at that
hour.
Still Director Lupino gets a
great deal of terror and suspense
into the sequence of violence and
after it is over a young neWcom-
er named Mala Powers manages
a moving portrait of shock and
horror. An actress of Miss Lu-
pino's caliber apparently can, as
a director, teach a young girl a
lot about the art of acting. At

any rate Miss Powers will get to

any rate Miss Powers will get to
your emotions as she fees in
shame and modification from
half Imagined stares, ultimately
to have a young preacher start
the cure of her shock battered
mind.
Tod Andrews plays this man
who turns the assault victim
from terror back to normal life
and does a thoroughly agreeable
job. The others in the cast ably
assist Director Lupino in getting
the authentic touch she has
sought and largely achieved, as
before. in the use of real places
instead of movie sets. Outrage"
isn't great picture, but there is
nothing phony about it. Miss
Lupino. of course. has tendency
to think of movie camera as a
soap box now and then, but it
seldom hurts to pay attention to

The Keith's program also fea-
lures a timely short subject, You
Can Beat the A-Bomb," which
should come as good news to you.

to inject a song or a dance. In
truth, the best single feature of
the film may be it's dances. These
are mostly folk ballets in nature
and they are danced by horde
of spirited and handsome young
humans who would not mind in
the least stealing the picture from
the higher-paid performers.
The production emphasis to be
sure is placed upon the song cycle
through which Miss Grayson and
LAMA run in Toast of New Or
leans" This includes more oper-
attic excerpts than in other Metro
musicals, but it also makes a
sensible allotment Of time to more
popular ballads. These will not
shatter the heart either with joy
or sadness, but BE My Love, :"
I'll Never Love You" and the
Tina Lima" songs are pleasant
enough.
Ine big operate production item
is the duet from Nine. Butterfly, I"
which brings the film to its climax
in which the vocalists recognize
neither could ever live without
the other.
This is also where Niven is
pushed out into the cold, but 1t
is never very cold in New Orleans
and a polished philosophic type
such as he, is unlikely to be too
lonely.
Best single performance in
Toast of New Orleans" is that of
Naish as the comic uncle of Fish
erman LAMA. He is a man with
small patience for the fancy ways
of musical aristocrats. He knows
he can have more fun on his bayou
with his boat and his concertina
and his performance comes close
to convincing you that he is right.

nothing to do but go along with

This is a Joseph PaSternak pro-
duction and as every one should
know by this time, it is the spirit
and not the letter that counts in
such cases. Taken literally, there
is not really much to THE Toast

old story of a pretty young opera
star who meets a talented young
fisherman and the steps that lead
up to their living happily ever

The package itself is so vivid
that it is ungrateful to question
what is inside.
Moreover, if Miss Graysons is
not the greatest feminine voice
any one ever heard. she has GER
tain other superiorities over her
operatic betters. If she cannot give
a convincing imitation of prima
donna, she does offer lively one
and Metro has taken the sensible

flavor in the area. There is some
thing richly aristocratic about
the cafes and other centers of
culture in New Orleans itself and
the adjacent bayous TEEN with
folksiness. The mingling of these
two classes on festival days leads
both to throw back their happy
heads and sing and to burst just
as frequently into frenzied inter-
walls of dancing.
Where, indeed, could a more
joyous or democratic background
be found for bringing together
so polished an aristocrat of the
arts as Miss Grayson and such
a buoyant boy of the bayous as

situation around the city, a prin-
cipal secondary supply port for US.
forces.
The Army said that the Pohang
air field, which is six miles south
east of the city, is still believed to
be in United Nations hands. But
we do not know if our planes can
operate from the field" a spokes-
man said.
tFront dispatches said US. planes
have been evacuated from the field
Briefing officers could not con-
firm press reports from Korea that
Pohang city was in flames. 1T is
safe to assume that the North Ko-
reans are in the town. Army Off
GERS said, but we don't know how
much of Pohang the enemy con-

The report about large fires
burning in Pohang could have sig
nificance, as it is likely that some
quantity of US. supplies are in the
area
These late Defense Department
reports indicated that the North Ko-
rean force at Pohang includes two
regiments that have probably been
augmented by unknown numbers of
South Korean guerrillas.
