aware had candidate for the ma
tionai honor, Mrs. Jonathan S.
Willis of Milford. Mrs. Willis was
named Delaware Mother for 1850
after many nominations had been
made by interested citizens. She
was considered for the post of
American Mother, but by the final

went to Mrs. Henry Roe Cloud of

by the character of her individual
children; second, that she reflect
a strong religious and spiritual in
tegrity; third, that she embody
those traits highly regarded in
mothers: courage, cheerfulness, pa
thence, affection, kindness, under
standing and a homemaking abil-
ity; fourth, that she exemplify in
her life and conduct the precepts
of the golden rule, so that she may
be truly designated "a Golden Rule
Mother" fifth, that she have a
sense of civic and international un-
derstanding; and have been active
in community betterment or in SER
vice for public benefit; sixth, that
she be qualified to represent the
Mothers of America in all respon-
sibilities attached to her role as
the American Mother. Mrs. Ennis

tee and she urged all interested
citizens to enter the names of typ
ical mothers ito that group. All bal
lots must be turned in to the COM
mittee by the 31st of March in or
der to be considered. On Mothers
Day of this year, the American
Mother will be named, and if the
people of Delaware support the
campaign and name as the Della
ware Mother a woman who meets
the national qualifications, it is
possible that the next American
Mother may be a Delaware woman.

BAMBERGER MODERATOR

During the panel discussion con-
Quoted by five high school seniors
at an open meeting of the Twenti-
eth Century Club last Friday night,
June Cooks comments on the re-
lation of the community to the
school were highlighted by the sug-
gestion of a coalition of the PTA
of Smyrna, Clayton, Kenton and
Hartly, which might develop more
interest between schools and COM
munities. The important points
brought out by Gene Short, on the
topic of relation of farm to the
school, were that there is a definite
need for an agriculture course in
the Smyrna School, to curb ito the
city" tendency, and noted that
Smyrna and surrounding area is
actually better suited for truck
farming than growing corn, wheat,
ct cetera, located as it is within
four hours maximum and 45 min
utes minimum of New York City,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Will
mington. Herbert Churchman, on
redistricting from the students s
point of view, disclosed the advant-
ages as providing more efficient
music, art, agricultural, and auto
mechanics departments; also il
would standardize teaching meth
DDS of a larger area, making trans

Bus Line
Extension Upheld

A three judge Federal Court yes
Iterday dismissed the complaint of
the Alexandria. Bancroft and
Washington Transit Co. which at
tempted to block nearby Virginia
Operations of a sightseeing bus
company.
The ruling, filed in Alexandria
District Court, enables White
House Sightseeing Corp. of Wash
ington to extend its operations
into Virginia and Maryland. The
court order upheld the granting
|of certificate for expanded
operations last January by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
The ABB & w had argued that
the ICC acted unlawfully and
Icapriciously in granting the certi-
f1cate to White House lines. 1t
also argued that the new service
would duplicate existing ABB g. w
routes and would cause a loss of
revenue for the Alexandria COM
pany.
The unanimous opinion of the
court, written by Judge Armistead
M. Dobie, upholds the validity of
the action of the ICC in granting
White House lines a certificate
flor expanded operation.

Patient Load al Peak
In Arlington Hospital

Arlington Hospitals busiest
month so far this year was July,
when the patient load averaged
116 adults per day.
Miss Anne Williams Smith, d.
rector Of nursing. said the hos
pital is hard pressed to provide
nursing Care for the record num-
Der of patients.
She said the hospital, like all
others in the area, has been hit
by the shortage of graduate
nurses. The hospital requires a
staff of 10 graduate nurses, but
only so have been on the staff
so far this year.
Miss Smith said Arlington Hos
pital has made use of volunteer
help and is using part time help
in order to serve its patients. She
said some of the part time people
work two or three days a week.
mostly at night. Volunteer nurses
aides are obtained through the
Red Cross.
Miss Smith said the hospital
reached its record in the number
of births. 1862, during July. She
said 1861 emergency cases, also
a record. were handled in the
emergency room.
The hospital was designed to
provide lis beds but has been
serving well over this number
each day for over a year, Miss
Smith said.

Sleeping Pills Declared Menace as FDA Asks New Controls

When taken in prescribed
doses, drowsiness usually fol-
lows within an hour. The drug
is effective for from six to II
hours. and induces restful
sleep.
If more than the prescribed
dose is taken, the patient may
lapse into a coma and be sub
ject to broncho-p pneumonia,
normally fatal.
Cases are reported each year
in which children accidentally
swallow sleeping pills they find
in medicine chests.
The FDA would like to see sale
of the drugs limited to those
who actually need them, and
suggested controls are in pre-
paration for presentation to
Congress.

Barbiturates- in their most
common form known as Sleep
ing pills "-are the menace of
the medicine chest, Food and
Drug Administration officials
believe.
FDA men long have battled
for more effective control of the
drug, of which they say enough
is produced here each year to
put every man, woman and
child to sleep every night of the
year.
Barbiturates are compare
lively easy to obtain and, in
some cases. are more dangerous
than the normal narcotic drugs
such as morphine and cocaine.
For this reason, FDA officials
say, stronger controls are
needed.
In recent years, there has
been a heavy increase in the
