ANSWERS MILLS ARTICLE

Editor, The Citizen:
I, too, like your breezy little
paper. However, / especially
didn't like the article printed in
your Peoples Forum headed
HAS Peeve" in your edition of
May 20, 1851. e
1t is not tasteful for me to en-
ter into controversy through
a newspaper, but after reading
the above mentioned article, the
temptation to reply in behalf of
those very fine ladies who give
freely and unstintingly of their
time to God was overwhelming.
Undoubtedly this was the most
vicious and uncalled for piece of
criticism that I have ever read.
Mrs. Mills, in her "peeve," stated
that the chimes peeled out so
sweetly," the tones of the Ham
mond organ were melodious, the
choir sang softly and sweetly.
What more did this woman
who evidently must be extremely
beautiful from a physical stand
point, desire?
Does she think that her critic
ism was Christian-like?
Does she think that God smiled
with approval at this attack on
His creation in His House?
If Mrs: Mills approves of and
is only seeking physical beauty,
she will eventually find that this
alone will not suffice. Real beau
ty will be found only in the
hearts and not on their faces.
Sincerely,
WILL E. P. ROBERTS.

Another gay note in the even
ing came when Gail Wallace and
George Cathey presented the
Last Will and Testament of the
Class. The Seniors left every
thing to the Juniors from the
ability to wear sweaters in good
form, to getting straight AS;
from skill in holding on to one
boy friend, to getting along with
a certain Mr.. Kaiser; from their
sympathy to their dancing feet;
from ability to play softball, to
Gkiil in playing hockey.
The prelude to the evening
was professional march to Ell
CARS Pomp and Circumstance"
with Mr.. Josef Hurka at tho
piano. The girls in white dresses
pf materials from pique to
stagched organdie marched in on
the arms of the boys who were
in dark trousers and cream col
pred coats. There weren't quite
enough boys to go around so the
best looking girls brought up the
rear in twos, and the prettiest
bl0hde in the class walked alone.
When the graduates were seat
ed ''ofi chairs on the stage, with
a background of gray drapes, and
footlighted by boxes of bougain-
villea, Don Williams, the Glass
Emcee began his evenings
wrestles with the microphone.
He upEed it and downed it to
suit the speakers and he slapped
itefor whistling. He pinched it
and pushed it and shadow boxed
it all Dyer the front of the stage.
But the thing was impertinent,
fresh and wildly rambunctious.

School Health Is An
Important Factor
Continued from arss DassD

Continued from nrst Dago1
ment of Health staff, and a dental
hygienist.
The obligations of the school to
the child, as far as health is con-
cerned, are:
1. The provision of a safe,
af52healthful environment.
= 2. Protection against COM
mUnicable disease.
3. Protection against educa-
tional Overlooking detrimental
to health.
4. Teaching of healthy liv-
ing.
Instead of mothers watchful
eye, the child will be observed by
the teacher-who will have in mind
not only the individual pupils prob
lens but those difficulties as they
are related to the whole group.
Sometimes this difference in point
of view produces conflicts.
Parents can help the child and
the school to make the necessary
adjustments. The preschool exam
ination offers the first contact.
From then on, the home attitude
influences the child's cooperation
with the schools health program,
which usually covers additional
physical examinations, dental in
spections and treatments, immuni-
cations, communicable disease con-
troll, posture and nutrition.

Nitrogen SidedreSsing
Boosts Corn Yields

How would you like to grow an
extra ton of sweet corn per acre
and make about s13 per acre extra
profit at the same time?
That's just what was done on a
farm near Smyrna by sidedvessing
with a nitrogen fertilizer at the last
cultivation. When $50 pounds of
ammonium nitrate was put on each
acre, the yield went up from 3 tons
to over four tons per acre.
E. NJ. Rain, of the University of
Delaware Agricultural Experiment
Station, ran the tests on Charles
Ewing's farm near Smyrna. A piece
of land which had been manured
the previous fall was used. At
planting time 700 pounds of 5-1O-1O
per acre was applied in bands.
Rain divided the field into Sc
veral one-acre plots, and tried
number of fertilizer practices. The
sidedressing cost $12 per acre, and
brought an additional return of S25
per acre.
Sussex County farmers should be
able to increase their sweet corn
yields greatly by increasing plant
stands and soil fertility level, ac-
cOrding to William H. Henderson,
County Agent.
