From Mrs. Rhoda Bell, Spencer

was a child about the time Presi-

er and grandmother made what
they called linsey. They didn't
have sheep, but they bought wool
and cleaned it. l don't know just
how, but my grandfather would
card it into small rolls, and Moth
er would spin it into thread and
Grandma would weave it into
goods. They colored it an old rose,
then they made dresses for my
two sisters and myself. Boy! We
thought we were really dressed
up in our linsey dresses!
From Mrs. C. n. Vaughn, Tate

Phia Reports On Current Trends

Trends in commercial and finan-
cial activity in the Third Federal
Reserve District during June were
comparatively stable. with most
business indexes showing little or
no change.
Physical output of PENNSYLVANIA
and Delaware manufacturing plants
remained at the previous months
level, although firms making non
durable goods continued to curtail
operations. With the June reduce
ton, activity in factories produc-
ing soft goods fell below that of a
year ago for the first time since
April 1850. Factory employment
was also unchanged during the
month despite the adverse effects
of the nOn-durable cutback. A num-
Der of firms reported that they
were compelled to lay of workers
because Of material shortages or
conversion to defense production.
Department store sales rose
somewhat during the month but
failed to show an increase over a
year earlier for the first time in
thirteen months. The various soft
goods lines, such as apparel, made
a better showing than hard lines
in year-ago comparisons of sales.
Preliminary figures indicate that

Building activity, as reflected By
construction contract awards, de-
clined in June but still showed con-
siderable vitality. Residential and
public works and utilities con-
struction continued below 1850
levels, but non-residential activity,
sustained by the boom in the in
dustrial field, recorded a gain Of

PRESIDENTIAL TALK STARTS


The next presidential election is well
over year away, but all the political camps
are specializing on who the candidates will
be, and the hOpefuls are out looking for
delegates. And there are plenty of straws
in the wind.
Some months ago it was widely forecast
that Mr.. Truman would not run again. Re
cent developments make it look as if that
forecast was decidedly wrong. More and
more people, including both supporters and
opponents of the President, now think that
he will ask for and receive the nomination.
There are various reasons for this. Mr..
Truman has been nettled by the SetbackS
Congress has given his REORGANIZATION
larly in civil rights and welfare legislation
and he obviously believes that if he takes
his case to the people they will support him.
He is intensely resentful at the attacks on
Dean AchesOn and other members of his Ad-
ministration and he wants his policies and
his appointments to be justified by another
victory at the polls. And he believes, in all
sincerity, that he is the best man available
for the biggest job in the world.
Ii Mr.. Truman does not run, he will
name the Democratic candidate. There is no
argument about that. The power of the
presidency is so great these days that it is
incOnceivable that the nominating conven-
ton would go against his wishes.
On LQo RepuDucan SIDE, IaIC leads, but
he isn't in by long shot. The Senator from
Ohio occupies a curious position. All con-
cede that he is one of the ablest men in the
Senate. He probably knows more about the
complex workings of the government than
anyone in public life today. He is thorough
and conscientious and at times he comes
close to brilliance. He has organized and led
the Presidents opposition, and he has more
to say about COP policy than anyone else.
Yet, even among his friends and admirers,
there is a feeling that Taft could not win
that, from the vote-getting standpoint, he
might be a weak candidate This is the feel
ing that Taft must overcome if he is to be
nominated. In the meantime, he has more
convention votes in his pocket than any
other Republican possibility. It has been
said he is General MacArthur'S choice. If
that is so, he has gained an important asset.
Most curious Of all is the Eisenhower
situation. The Generals prestige is enor-
nous, here and abroad. He has a record
which is almost beyond criticism. He has
warm and attractive personality, and little
of the austerity that is generally. associated
with top military men. But no one knows
or, at least, nc one in position to know has
said-whether he is a Republican or Demo-
crat. Eisenhower followers in both parties
are urging his candidacy. And no one knows
what his views are on many vital subjects.
The general opinion is that he is strong
internationalist in foreign policy, and that
he tends to relatively conservative stand
on domestic policy.
The polls indicate that Mr.. Truman's
popularity is at very low ebb They also

POUNDED TO PIECES


just how much damage is heavy COM
mercial truck traffic doing to our highways -?
ANY motOrist can pretty well answer
that with the evidence Of his own eyes. And.
in addition, he can substantiate that evil
dence with the views of the experts.
In October, 1949, the American AssOci-
alton OF State Highway Officials said in a
resolution: 'This ruinOus practice of over
loading our roads is destroying our primary
highways raster than we can build or re-
place them"
In February, 1949, the American Auto
mobile Association said: billions of dol
lars worth of the nations finest highways
are being pounded to pieces by overweight
and overloaded commercial vehicles"
AT the same time, Thomas M. MacDOn-
aid, U. S. Commissioner of Public Roads.
said: I'VE are overlooking our highways
IN their traffic volume capacity and in their
structural capacity. There is more than
ample proof. =. Prior to the war, damage
had reached alarming proportions. With the
marked increase in heavy loads since the
end OF the war, the damage has become even
more alarming"
The highway departments of 41 states
have reported that overloaded trucks are
damaging their roads,
Evidence of this character could be re-
cited Tor page after page. What, then, is
the solution? First, loads should be kept
within reasonable limits, and violators of
the law should be severely punished. Sec
Ond, the commercial users of our highways
should foot their fair share of the Bill for
building and maintaining roads which are
required to handle their heavy loads Mel
Cher OF those things is being done today.

The Kent and Sussex County
Fair last week was truly an ex-
citing one. Aside from the very
warm weather, everyone seemed to
be enjoying themselves. Several
Home Demonstration Club women
came into the Extension Building
t. see the All exhibits. The Alters
displayed many fine things such as
clothes they made. improved home
furnishings, canned products and
baked goods. Some of the All girls
gave demonstrations on sugges-
tons for using dairy products.
They all did a grand job and it's
nice to know that many Of these
girls are future Home Demonstra-
ton Club members.
In looking over the entries in
the Culinary Department at the
Fair, noticed many Of them were
entered by Home Demonstration
Club women. Several Of them re-
ceiyed prizes. Mrs. Alvin Brown
from the Laws Club won first
prize for the Clover Leaf Rolls.
She also won first prize for her
Lemon Meringue Pie. Her Cocoa
nut Layer Cake won second prize
and the Jars Of Chill Sauce she en-
tered also won second prize.

at home, they just can't swing it, On the otbor
hand students WHO ARE MUCH LESS DEsERv-

and select their students by their HIGH school,
record and then help finance these students through
college, These corporations are now doing their

IMPORTANCE OF SUMNER WORK
OF one thing am certain-namely, that how
high school students use their summers is - root
Importance. I have about come to the conclusion
that will employ only those who have worked
every summer during high school and college
Those who have earned at least half their college

their entire way through college, with the HELM
