Beef Prices On Way
Up, OPS Head Says
Advances Of As Much As Five Cents
A Pound Are Reported

All beef prices are now on the
way up. Joseph J. McBryan, Re-
gional OPS Director, said this week.
Prices for lower grades of beef
are reported following beef steak
and roast prices up to ceiling lev
els, advancing as much as FIVE cents
pound at wholesale within a few
weeks.
Specials on steaks and roast,
which had become more or less
general, have all but disappeared,
OPS said. Price increases for the
lower grades of beef affect ham
burger and stewing meat prices
especially, McBryan said.
AS to other foods, OPS has in
tensified it's drive against potato
price viOlatOrs. Each of the five
OPS district offices in the Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and Southern New
Jersey region, is making a close
check both at farm and dealer
levels. Legal action is planned
against viOlators, who will be liable
for treble damages if found guilty,
OPS warned.

Gathering Last Sunday

Odd Fellows and Rebekah Lodges
from all parts of Delaware gather
ed in Wesley Methodist Church, in
Georgetown, last Sunday morning
for special service. Rev. William
o. Hackett, pastor of the church
and the Grand Chaplain of the
Grand Lodge of Delaware, IOOF,
delivered a sermon on "Mispro-
nOunced Words. He used the words
"I', They and God" as the basis
of. his remarks, pointing out the
selfishness contained in the every
day use of 81" and how the word
''They" is used to shun RESPONSE
bilities. He stated that 1--WE fail to
pronounce God correctly nor in
the true meaning of the word" and
concluded by saying 'We can never
learn to pronounce "T' and They
correctly until we learn to pro-
nOunce and know God" in and
through service to others in our

Republicans elected 12 delegates
to their national convention at Do
yer on Wednesday of this week in
a statewide meeting highlighted
by two floor flights in which eau
Gus majorities were upheld.
But the delegates were not
pledged and they were not instruct
ed and any attempt to make a final
count of their position as of July
z in Chicago, the date of the start
of the presidential nominating con-
ventiOn, is a shot in the dark.
Based on a blend of their public,
private and semi-private Observa-
tiOns, the delegates, chosen in the
most interesting convention since
that of 1896, line up as follows:
Wilmington
Clair J. Killoran, Republican
State chairman, Eisenhower.
State Senator Thomas e. Peeney,
Taft.
Former City Councilman John
o. Hopkins, Taft.
Rural New Castle County
Former U. S. Senator Daniel o.

Innocent Farmer Gets 'Copter Ride In Korean Snafu

WITH THE U. s. HTH ARMY, P) - Somewhere in Korea there is a farmer who will never forget this day.
 He was blowing field when his OK stepped on a mine. The OK was blown to bits. The farmer was scratched on the chest.
 Allied troops took him to nearby evacuation hospital for treatment. A little iodine and some bandage patched him up nicely. To show his appreciation, the farmer offered to help around the hospital tent for while.
 But by and by he got sleepy, lay down on a stretcher inside the tent, and soon was fast asleep.
 A helicopter landed to pick up wounded South Korean Marine and fly him to a hospital ship at Inchon.
 A sergeant said the wounded Korean was right by the tent door. Medics rushed into the tent, picked up the first stretcher and lashed it to the outside of the helicop.rr. The "egg-beatei" took off for TnchOn with bGrden-the sleeping farmer.
 The farmer awakened high in the air. It was worse than a dream. The helicopter blades whirreo crazily overhead. His be- loved earth lay several thousand feet below. Only a thin piece of canvas held him aloft.
 The farmer yelled and lashed his arms wildly.
 The pilot waved back reassur- ihgly and flew on toward Inchon. He understood no Korean.
 On the ground at Inchon, the farmer made his plight under Stood-between gasps.
 The pilot flew him back to the hospital, this time inside the heli- copter.
 Arriving there, the farmer trudged slowly back to his field, still shaking his head.

There is proper procedure for
pouring paint so that the stream

After the lid is taken off a can

should be placed across the center
of the can and held in place with
