YeLIOuO OIeO Bill
Passed BIZ Senate
teontlnued from nrst -

w. Steen of Dagsboro, and John e.
Reilly. Sr, Of Wilmington, majority
whip.
The original oleo bill, introduced
by Senator Klair, was ready to be
put up for a vote when Senator
Barnard offered his amendment.
"a representative of the Del
aware Food Merchants Asso-
ration said that the amend
ment means practically that
that bill has been killed as no
oleO manufacturer could afford
to produce such packaged oleo
for so small a state as Del
aWare)
Senator Klair Immediately voiced
an objection, pointing out that no
copies Of the amendment were made
available in accord with the new
procedure rules. He was upheld by
Lt.-GOv. Alexis 1. dupont Bayard,
Senate president, who declared a
recess until copies We're available.
When the Senate reconvened,
Senator Barnard explained that the
lack of copies was an oversight,
nothing more, then launched into
defense Of his amendment.
Because the great majority of
the public wants a cheap substitute
for butter" he said, "the dairy in
terests have no great objection at
this time.
But oleO is being palmed of as
butter-and those who buy butter
would have the assurance that they
are getting butter if yellow oleo is
packaged in triangular shape.
1T is for these reasons that ]
urge the adoption of this amend
ment."
At this point, Senator Klair was
granted the floor. II am glad to
know the lack Of copies was ain
oversight" he asserted, "and not
an attempt to slip something over
on u.s."
| Senator Peeney interrupted his
colleague. Il object to those words, .
he said
Defending his original bill, Sena-
COf hlalfi Lnen requested pefmis-
sion to call George C. Simpson
chairman of the Delaware Farm
Bureau dairy committee, who was
attending the session.
Mr.. Simpsons signature appear
ed on mimeographed letters which
had been placed on each senator's
desk before the session was began.
Simpson Is Questioned
The letters cited figures to show
the price spreads between yellow
and white oleo in 25 supermarkets
in each of six cities, none in the
East, during Dec. q and 80 in
1949.
Pointing out that Maryland has
legalized the sale Of colored oleo
Senator Klair asked Mr.. Simpson
why communities in that state were
not checked in the price study.
Mr.. Simpson replied that the
survery was taken two years ago in
heavily populous communities, al
the time of the 10 cent federal tax
on oleo

SMALL BUSINESS AND
PHILOSOPHY

Editorial writer's seem to agree
with politicians that small busi-
ness was built out of small savings
by local people. But one wise new
shawk gives the suggestion that
the so called small business of to-
day would have been considered
years ago as "big business"
Costs have mounted as wars and
rumors of wars have passed their
shadows over most of us for many
years.
Most small depositors are usually
able to get moderate loans from the
banks. But the idea of financing
small business seems to bump up
against the political idea that the
Government must put up the
money for loar > and depend upon
private banks to act as agents to
insure the loans.
Really, what the country needs
is a steady expansion of economy
and increased employment for q
growing labor force if such a force
can be created without political
bosses who might dominate in the
future as they do today.
1t seems to us that the Grass
Roots has been the logical and
growing field that actually double
the strength Of small business in
nearly every locality, and do it on
its own plans and methods Of cred
it. Maybe private banking channels
should be granted a minimum
of support by Government agenc-
les.

DON'T UPSET OUR OWN APPLE
CART

The United States framed its
own business organizations and
standards and methods to conduct
big and small business. AS time
has gone on its way, wages have
increased, and prices have reached
new heights. Before we begin to
grow Warminded, taxes weren't so
high.
Times have changed since the
days when every family kept a
COW and a horse and buggy. High
taxation and high cost Of Govern
ment has a lot to do with high cost
Of lYing-with first class pair Of
mems shoes at $40 and SIS for a
suit Of clothes.
When you look the whole ques-
tion over you will find that the
Government of the Nation, the
States, cities and towns have been
slipping.
The old-time politicians are no
more. What we called radicals so
years ago have drifted into organ
izations and new political c1iques.
There still exists in this Nation
of ours tens Of thousands of villag-
es, towns and small cities. The
smart guys in the metropolitan
districts call these localities the
Grass Roots"

ing in cramped, sometimes makes
shift quarters.
Charged with the tremendous
task of preparing students for the
profession of teaching, and of pro-
Yiding for the further training of
teachers in service, the School Of
Education has undergone a ten
fold increase in its students in the
last five years. Yet the facilities
available remain the same as be-
fore.
"There are now about 450 under
graduates taking education work
here. About 100 new teachers for
Delaware schools are being grad
uated yearly.
But the present rate of in
crease in training Of teachers must
be stepped up to an even greater
degree. Whereas we can make 100
teachers a year available to the
public schools now, within Is years
Delaware's schools will need 300
new teachers every year The Uni
Versity, through its School of Edu-
cation, must prepare to do this vi
tai job. The new building is. abso-
lutely essential to this undertake
ing. Not only would the cramped
conditions of Robinson Hall be al
leViated, but the space in the new
building would have the added val
ue of being functional in terms of
modern practices of education"
Of the needs of the School of
Home Economics, President Per-
Kins cited the 2S7 girls now study
ing in courses there during the
present term. 1.-THE available space
is no greater that it was five years
ago when there were IS girls in
Home Economics" he said, ''nor,
for that matter, is it greater than
lit was 30 years ago.
'But aside from the need of bet
ter instructional facilities for these
young women, it is also important
that our School of Home Econom-
les be able to fulfill it's obligations
lin service to the state through ade-
quate research into problems of nu-
triton, foods, clothing, textiles and
child development; and then to
carry their findings through to the
logical end by making them avail
able to the homemakers of the
state in cooperation with our ex-
tension service"
At present, Robinson Hall, a 81
year-old structure which was one
of the original buildings of the for
mer Women's College, is shared
not only by the School of Home
Economics and School of Educa-
tion, but by the Department OF Art
and by some laboratories of the
Department of Biological Sciences.
After the construction of the new
building, the Departments of Art
and Music probably would share
Robinson Hall.
