FEBRUARY is
SHORT MONTH
Don't Make 1t Shortest In
Your Life Because OF
Ira. C Accident
OBEY SPEED LIMIT

February is the shortest month
in the year. Don't make it the
shortest in your life because of a
traffic accident" That advice was
offered today by John D. Reeder,
President of the Delaware Safety
Council.
The old adage, "A little know
ledge can be a dangerous thing, ;"
is especially true in the case of
drivers who have only an incom-
plete, perhaps inaccurate, know
ledge of traffic regulations, Mr..
Reeder emphasized.
NEARLY go per cent of the driv-
ers involved in fatal accidents in
1949 had violated one or more
traffic laws at the time of the &C
cident. National Safety Council
figures also show that violations
reported per one-hundred drivers
in rural accidents were IL per cent
higher than in city accidents.
mo one feels safe with person
who handles a shotgun carelessly,
vet ignorance and disregard for the
law in the hands of a motorist can
be an equally dangerous, double
barreled weapon" Mr.. Reeder said
Cardinal rules which drivers
should obey to prevent their join
ing the ranks of accidental killers
were outlined by Mr.. Reeder. They
include:
1. The only proper place for alco-
hol is in the radiator of car
not in the driver.
2. Obey posted speed limits and
those safe limits imposed by
weather or other conditions.
8. Avoid ''right-of-way' argu-
nients. It's better to yield the
right-of-way than to give up your
life to prove you're right.
A. Look for and heed signs, sig
mails and traffic officers directions.
5. When you leave your car to
become a pedestrian, carry with
you the same respect you have for

EXHIBITS AT
STATE MUSEUM
''PIant of the Month" At New
Museum in Old Presby-
terian Church, Dover
EVERGREEN MAGNOLIA

The PLANT of the Month" is one
bf the changing exhibits at the new
Delaware State Museum. The COM
mittee members who are RESPONSE
BILE for the horticultural displays
are not daunted by winter time
and lack of fresh plants. Various
evergreen leaves and branches
make fine winter arrangements.
The February display presents a
bold and simple arrangement of
evergreen magnolia, scientifically
smown as magnolia grandibora,
Linnaeus. In a brass contalner it
sits against the window of the or
iginal circular stairway of the
State Museum, formerly Dover's
old Presbyterian Church. It is con-
tributed by Mrs. Charles Bunker
and Mrs. Arthur Edgeworth. The
evergreen magnolia tree is little
seen north of Delaware, being ma
tive farther south. The native
Sweet Bay, or Swamp Magnolia, is
commoner here than February's
botanical specimen at the museum.
The tree featured in the museums
plant of the Month exhibit is strik-
ing for its large glossy evergreen
leaves, rust-colored underneath, its
eight-inch, fragrant, white bios
SONS and it's clusters of red bead
like fruits. 1t is favorite orna-
mental tree. It's leaves fall off in
the spring, before the lotus-like
blossoms appear. The magnolia ar
rangement shown through Febru-
airy may be seen daily except Mon
day from IL to and on Sundays
from 2 until 5. The Delaware State
Museum is at 316 South Governors
Avenue in Dover one block south
of Loockerman Street. Admission
is free.

CHOOSE HYMN
OF THE MONTH
National Federation of Music
Clubs Choose Hymn For
This Month
ORIGIN OF HYMN

The Church Music Department
of the National Federation of Music
Clubs has chosen as the hymn for
February, "The Spacious Firma-
ment on High" The words of this
hymn are based on Psalm 10. The
Hebrew Psalms formed the oldest
hymn book of worship to the living
God. Sung antiphonally by wor-
shippers through thousands OF years
they have carried the singers
through noble thought and exalted
emotion into the very presence of
Deity. Psalm 10, beginning with
the majestic line, THE heavens de-
clare the glory of God, and the
armament showeth his handiwork, /"
was Joseph Addison's inspiration
for writing this great hymn, '"The
Spacious Firmament on High"
1t was first published as a climax
to one of his essays in the Specta-
tor, August %, 1712. In this writ
ing, after a quotation from the
psalm the author introduced the
hymn with these words, "Such a
hold and sublime manner of think
ing furnished a very noble matter
for this ODE" DR. Samuel johnson
was very fond of quoting this
hymn. 1t has found its way into
both Hebrew and Protestant hymn
nails and holds an important place
in church worship. The tune gen.
orally used with this hymn was
taken from the orattous creation
by Franz Josef Haydn which was
composed in 1898. Haydn was a
prolific writer of many forms of
music and in his later life he was
known as the best musician in all
of Europe.
The Spacious Firmament on High
The spacious armament on high
With all the blue, ethereal sky;
And spangled heavens, shining
frame,
Their great Original proclaim;
The unWearried sun from day to
day
Does his Creators power display;
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous
tale,
And mighty to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth.
While all the stars that round her
burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll
And spread the truth from pole to
pole.
What though in solemn silence all
Move round the dark terrestrial
ball;
What though no real voice or
sound
Amidst their radiant orbs be
found?
In reasons ear they all rejoice
And utter forth a glorious voice

NEW SAUSAGE DISH

Reba Stages, Home Economist,
Suggests Satisfying Sausage Dish
On a winters night a spicy
sausage combination is certain to
rank high with the family. Reba
Stages, home economist, suggests
a satisfying dish combining sau-
sage links with lima beans and to-
matoes.
For this dish frozen lima beans
or dried limas may be used. If
dried beans, cover them with water
and soak over night. Drain and add
hot water and salt and cook until
just tender or about 1 hour. Add a
can of tomatoes at this time and
continue cooking another hour.
Sausage links are prepared in
the usual manner. They are placed
in a frying pan with 2 or 8 table
spoons of water. The pan is cover
ed and the sausages cooked slowly
for to 10 minutes. At the end of
the time the cover is removed and
the links allowed to brown. Onion
slices are Drowned in the dIfppings.
Then 1 tablespoon of f1our is added
to 2 tablespoons of the sausage
drippings. The mixture is seasoned
with dry mustard, sugar and pep
per, then combined with the beans,
sausage links, fried onion slices
and all simrlered together for 10
minutes.
Sausage links are also popular
for dinner with fried apple rings
or wedges. Or they may be COM
bined with rice and tomatoes for
a tempting casserole.
