Hot Dry Spells
Hike Food Costs

OPS this week told housewives
in this area that more family foods
are likely to cost more as the full
force of recent amendments to the
price control act are felt.
These amendments ordered all
fruits and vegetables removed from
price controls, whether fresh, can
ned, frozen or dried. After decon-
trolling some 100 such items, OPS
this week said still others are
likely to follow.
Most of these are in the social
ed borderline area, the agency ex-
planned, such as catsup, tomato
paste, spaghetti sauce, soups, stews.
jams and jellies. More than one
fifth of the average food dollar is
involved, OPS said.
Meanwhile, the upward move
ment of prices of the decOntrOlled
products continues, OPS added. In
addition to higher prices of from
one to three cents a can for pork
and beans and a long list of other
canned foods commonly used, the
OPS regional Office last week found
higher prices also on canned corn,
peas and beets.
Also higher in price were baby
foods, up to ten cents a can
straight, from a former price of
three cans for a quarter. Baby
cereals, another important family
item, advanced to II cents in many
stores.
Nor can housewives find much
sOlace that such price adjustments
will remain stable, once made. Due
to the intense heat and dry weather
of the past month or more, reports
from growers show alarmingly
small crops in almost every area,
OPS said.
Gamers expect prices, now no
longer controlled, to skyrocket as
a result, a possibility which those
responsible for lifting price con-
trolls on fruits and vegetables did
not anticipate, OPS said.

Diet, Home Equipment
Lift u. S. Life Span

Americans eat 19 per cent more
food, are an inch taller, 10 pounds
heavier and live 20 years longer
than they did at the turn of the
century.
The average life span is 67
years, compared with AZ in 1900,
insurance statistics show. World
War II figures prove the CT was a
heavier and taller soldier than the
World War doughboy. and, while
the earlier generation averaged
1850 pounds of food a year per
person, people now consume 1000
pounds.
While this improvement in the
nations health and stature is as
cribed largely to sOunder diet, a
study by the Gas Appliance Man
ufacturers Association brings out
some other contributing factors.
These include energy-saving home
equipment, modern plumbing, i'm
proved production and storage of
food, and advances in public and
personal hygiene.
Dirty hands and unciean food
remain chief offenders in trans
mitting disease bacteria, according
to the U. S. Public Health Service,
which says 'the strongest and
most accessible weapon against
dirt is hot water" Fifty years ago
keeping clean was more labOrious
than it is now. People relied on
wood stoves to boil water and rough
sand soap to remove dirt. Modern
devices like the gas water heater
make the whole process automatic
and assure a steady supply of hot
water at the turn of a faucet.
Present-day refrigeration, too, is
an acknowledged aid to health.
Years ago, lack of safe methods of
food preservation contributed heav-
lily to infant mortality and high
disease rates. Food was purchased
only in quantities that could be
consumed in one day. Today, most
foods can be bought in bulk and
stored safely in freezers and re-
frigeratOrs, providing the advan-
tages not only of better nutrition
but greater economy.
The current trend to gas for COM
fort heating-accentuated by the
conversion of most of the country
to natural gas is expected to con-
tribute greatly to a further ad-
vance in the nations health, CANA
experts say. They point out that
Kidding the air Of smoke and ash
particles and scientific control of
temperature and humidity, made
possible by modern gas-operated
equipment, will tend to reduce the
incidence of hay fever, common
colds and other respiratory infec-
tiOns.

Food for Thought

Delaware State Board Of Health
UNCERTAINTY

It's a poor policy to kill Juniors
pet rabbit in order to have food in
the home freezer. Very often COM
mercial Gamers will provide you
with foods at a cost less than that
of home preservation. Yet there
are years when it is recommended
that you put all your extra veg
etables and fruits into jars or the
freezer for later use.
This year many people who have
observed the effect of unfavorable
weather upon maturing crops are
encouraging all home preservation
that is within reason. The uncer-
tainty of prices because of abnor-
NAL weather condition has led
hOmemakers to do much canning
and freezing so far and has in
creased the products for much
more preservation as the season
progresses.
1t is important that any food
bought for preservation be reason
able in price. Reasonable in price
is a figure which can be judged on
ly by a comparison with current
canned or frozen foods and which
does not vary widely from these.
Usually the homemaker has a
few foods that she preserves from
choice, regardless of price. This is
because of her superior ability
with these foods or the unavaila
bility of them in local markets. The
results are delightful and always
a source of pleasure to her family.
In the main, all food preserva-
tiOn should be done at prices
which will compare to local COM
mercial supplies. This assumes
that canning may be done without
its being the last straw in the
hOmemaker's day.

FURctiOHing Program
CONTINUED from FIRST pags)

The purpose of the gigantic cele-
bratiOn was to dedicate to poster
ity the grounds where Eleuthere
Irenee dupont established his first
mill in 1902.
The purpose was also to honor
those who during the $50 years had
made possible the tremendous
growth of the company. Among the
more than 200 members of the
dupont family who attended one in
particular was singled out for spe-
cial hOnors.
Pierre S. dupont, dean of the
family and one-time president of
the company, was thrust into the
forefront of the ceremony by the
unfolding history of the company
and by the words of three principal
speakers-Walter S. Carpenter, Jr.,
former president and now chair
man of the board, Crawford H.
GTeenewalt, now president of the
company, and Henry B. dupont, a
vice president and great-great-
grandson of the founder.
The keynote of all talks made
during the ceremony, and in fact
of the ceremony itself, was supplied
by words inscribed on the huge
stone monument:
"On this site in 1902 the
dupont Company was conceiv-
ed. 1t has grown with the
growing nation under a sys-
TEN dedicated to freedom. It's
greatest assets has been all it's
people, and it's guiding philO-
sOphy that there is no privilege
that is not inseparably bound
to a duty"
TriumVirate of Brothers
Mr.. Carpenter, who spoke briefly
Of the growth of the company and
the people who made it grow, paid
special tribute to the triumVirate of
brothers whose guidance has con-
tributed far more to the company's
growth and development than can
be expressed by me in words"
1t was then he called to the
stand Pierre S. and Irenee dupont,
and the heavy stone marker was
unveiled. LammOt dupont, third of
the brothers who each served as
president and chairman of the
board. was unable to attend be-
cause of illness.
Henry B. DUPONT, in his address,
outlined the personalities of each
of the duPOnts from the founding
of the company. and cited the re-
sponsibiilties of each for growth
of the firm.

AGAINST Simkins

The Government today dropped
contempt of Congress charges
against Roger CWhitetop) Sim
kins, colored, former big-shot
Washington numbers operator.
Simkins was tried last week on
the contempt charges but the jury
was unable to agree on a verdict
and a mistrial was decreed by
Judge James r. Kirkland of the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia. At that time
Judge Kirkland said the case
would be reassigned to another
judge for retrial.
But today, Assistant United
States Attorney William Hitz told
District Judge Burnita S. Mat
thews, who had been assigned to
the case. that in light of the for
mer trial, he did not believe Sim
kins should be tried again and
moved for a dismissal. The mo-
ton was granted.
After the jury had reached an
impasse at last weeks trial, it
was learned, the panel stood 10
to 2 for acquittal. Simkins was
charged with Illegally refusing to
answer certain questions put to
him by the Senate District Crime
Investigating Subcommittee.
