10000 More KiJOWatts
Coming From DeJaIUare
POlUer And Light
CONTINUED from arst paeO

Such a big generator doesn't just
happen overnight. The need for it
appears when the business men who
manage the company fOresee that
the future demands of the commun-
tty will be much greater. Their en-
gineers go to work and draw up
plans and specificato The man
agement prepares to finance the
project Construction gangs go to
work to build the huge structure
which will eventually serve power
aplenty. Plans for the new gener-
atOr at Vienna originated way back
IN January of 1948. Construction
began in the late fall of the same
year, and took two and a half years
for completion. Now, at last, in
March, 1851, the generator has
been put to work.
The most modern methods for
efficient use of coal have been in
corpOrated in the design of this
new unit. The coal consumed is
pulverized to power as fine as
any face powder, then blown by
powerful air blast into The boiler.
The air mixes with the minute par
ticles of coal to form a highly com
bustible spray which burns at white
neat. Even poorer quality btu
minous coal can De used if it is
pulverized and full capacity Of the
boiler will be maintained. It Gre
ates flame so intense that the
operator, when he wants to see
whether the fuel is burning efficient
ly' must study it through SPECIAL
blue glass to protect his eyesight.
From what seemed adequate pow
er supply in 1927, when the first
generator was completed, the DOW
er plant at Vienna, nd, has come
a long way. Then it produced 1000
kilOwatts. Now, "a years later. it
can produce 100000 kilowatts.
which require 20 Otons of coal every
day.
Eastern Shore Public Service and
Delaware Power ard Light Com
pany have invested five and a quar-
ter million dollars to add this gen
Grating unit to the great power
supply designed to carry the load
ior industry, and tighten the bur
dens In homes on the Delmarva
Penlnsula. The construction, finan-
ced by bonds and common stock
SOLD to individual shareholders ev-
efyWhere, is a symbol OF the achiev-
ement of free enterprise and good
business management.

Late Peach Sport Found
In University Orchard

DR.. Chester V. Hitz, horticulture
list on the Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station staff, reports
that a late ripening sport of Ell
berta peach has been found in the
University orchards.
The sport limb was first noticed
in 1949 because of its late ripening.
In 1850, Hitz found that this limb
'Dlossomed a week to ten days later
than the rest of the trees.
According to DR.. Hitz this is the
latest blooming variety ever obser-
we'd. The fruit of the sport is not
excellent quality, but its late
bloom and ripening characteristic
will make it valuable in a breeding
program.
If, by breeding, lateness and high
quality can be combined, in one
variety, it will help Delaware peach
growers avoid the late spring free
zes which kill blossoms on present
varities.

ROADS TO RADIANT LIVING by
Charles L. Allen. Fleming H. Re-
veil, New York ST. More than fifty
"heart-tO-heart" talks. They are
above average. They are really SER
mons in brief, and have appeared
in the Atlanta Journal-C Constitution.
DR.. Allen has one of the largest
Sunday evening congregations in
America, and is the Methodist edi-
tor of Pulpit Preaching. He has
common sense in abundance, knows
how to express himself, and has a
sense of humor. His topics come
from the commonplace which he
makes uncommon, and from life he
knows and loves. Indeed his writ
ing is more hOmespun than most
books Of this type. 1t is a delight
to read him. His illustrations stick.
"It is far better to have a big heart
and limited ability than to have un-
limited ability and a little heart. -
"The best thing for each of us to
do is to get busy on ourselves"
WHAT THE JEWS BELIEVE by
Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein. Farrar,
Straus and Co., New York. $1.25. A
summation of living Judaism. A part
of this book appeared in an edition
of Life, and met wide response. The
author is a scholar easily read. Non
Jews can profit much from reading
his viewpoint. He is the president
of the largest rabbinical body in the
world. "Out of a mass Of slaves,
Moses fashioned a nation and gave
them a faith. From that day to this,
Jews have never ceased to be a peo-
pie. They have not been a sect, a
denomination, as are the Christian
groups. Common memories, prob
lens, hopes, common attachment to
the land of Israel and to the Heb
rev language conjOined to common
faith have made and kept them a
people,"

and fellowship the members of
Crystal Fount presented Colonel

ship for the kind remembrance he
touched on many phases of his ac-
tive Odd Fellow days.
Rev William o. Hackett, Grand
Chaplain of the Grand Lodge of
Delaware, was the principal speak
er for the evening. He gave a very
interesting and inspiring address.
The evening came to a close with
well wishes extended to everyone.
1t certainly was an evening of good
fellowship.

Table Tool History

New YORK ~ (P) - Jean Sui
pice, who probably was a French
man, had this to say about table
manners in 1880:
1T is wrong to grab your food
with both hands at once; meat
shocld be taken with three fingers.
and too much should not be put in
the mouth at the same time"
The quotation comes from a
pamphlet prepared by Dan. S. De-
fenbacher, director of the Walker
Art Center, for use with an exhi-
bition showing the evolution of thu
knife, fork and spoon. The display
is open here at the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History.
Early forks are traced to the
Greeks and Romans, and the three
tined fork to a 18th century Italian
whose wife nagged him about u.s.
ing all five fingers. The knife is
prehistoric, and the first spoons
were sea shells and gourds. the
booklet said.
