that much of the New Orleans jazz

This was Robert Kennedy, Vice
President for Public Safety of the

ton today of one of the more i'm
pOrtant factors influencing safe
winter driving.
cat no other time of the year"
he said, 'is the drivers vision put
to more strain than in winter. Long
hours of darkness, the formation
of frost on the windshield and
snow, fog, rain and sleet combine
to restrict the drivers vision to a
point that can be deadly unless he
takes the proper precautions.
Mr. Kennedy's remarks today
were in support of the Delaware
Safety Councils January program
of traffic safety education, which
is being conducted in cooperation
with the National Safety Council.
Good, well-aimed headlights, a
windshield wiper blade thai actu-
ally cleans the glass instead of
smearing narrow eye-slot. and an
efficient defroster," Mr.. Kennedy
said, are the best sef-helps that
a motorist can adopt in coping with
January's 'ceiling-zero' visibility"

prevention of destruction to school
property has focused attention on
vandalism and Juvenile delinquency
on some public school property.
The contest, sponsored by Com

was aimed at cutting down vandal-
ism in public schools which costs
the city of New York 100000 an

that school property sometimes was
used after hours as a place for
drinking and gambling and where
drunks and degenerates could men
ace children.
One recommendation called for
flOodlighting of school yards hidden
to public view. strict legal enforce
ment against trespassers, and OPEN

ABOUT SUSSEX
HOMEMAKERS
BY Nancy &. RatliH
Home Demonstration Agent

This may be little early to talk
about Flower Gardens, but if you
could have been present at the
Leader Training meeting at the
Agriculture Center, last week. YOU
would probably have caught some
of the same enthusiasm tUr the
subject as did the leaders that were
present. Robert Stevens, Exten-
sion HOrticulturist, was in charge
of the demonstration and gave a
number of suggestions that were
well received.
Mrs. Myrtle Harrison, of the
MillsbOrO Club, has these com
ments on the demonstration. Il
was quite interested in the list of
flowers given by Mr.. Stevens that
are especially adapted for our light
sandy soils and will grow well
throughout the season. This list
included: FOur-O'clOcks. Gaillar-
dias, MarigOlds, Petunias, Morning
GlOrys, Porchilaka, and Poppys.
Early spring flowers are seldom
problem. The later ones, however,
have been a different story and
was glad to get some suggestions
of what to plant and how to grow
them"
Mrs. Sarah Stevenson, of the
County Seat Club in Georgetown,
in reviewing her notes, brought out
these points. Annual flowers are
those that mature each year and
new plants must be started each
season. They may be divided into
two classes, based on their use.
Bedding or Solid Border make up
one class and these flowers are we'll
suited to planting around new
homes where shrubbery has not
been set or is still quite small, or
along walks, or boundaries for the
yard-garden-Or vacant lots. Va
rites in this class include. Petu-
Mas, Poppys, COsma, and Verbena.
The second class is Cut Flowers
and examples are: Asters, Baby's
Breath, Marigold, Corn Flower,
Larkspur, PhlOx and Sweet Peas.
Flat boxes for starting early
flowers, and they should be start
ed now, can be easily prepared by
using moss from the woods in
place of soil. The moss should be
shredded or broken up finely and
placed in the box to a depth of
to inches. Moisten it we'll and
place the seed in it.
In a few days the plants should
be coming up and it will be nee
essary to feed them as the moss
contains only a very little plant
food. To do this, use about II tea
spoon of any commercial plant
food, prepared for this purpose, in
one gallon of water and sprinkle
the moss we'll from time to time.
Mr.. Stevens. concluded his dem
Onstration with the thought that
anyone can have lovely flowers, but
to do so will require some time
and attention and the more of
these two ingredients provided, the
better the flowers will be.
You will hear more of this sub
jeCt as you attend your club meet
ings this month. For still further
information, request the pamphlet
-"Growing Annual Flowering
Plants" and l will be glad to Sc
cure it for you.

Needs Change
With Advancing Age

AS people grow older their food
needs change. Since they become
less active, they require foods
which are lower in calories and
easier to digest.
Miss NJ. Gertrude Holloway, nu-
triton specialist, with the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. points out that better eating
habits of healthful foods often help
older people to be more vigorous,
useful and happier members of the
household.
Continued nutritional deficien-
cies can cause body disturbances
which take place slowly and grad
ually increase. Situations often
found in aged people are poor
utilization of foods. poor eating
habits, poor teeth, and poor appe-
tites.
To help meet the requirements
Of good health. the daily diet should
include one and One-half pints of
milk to furnish needed minerals to
maintain bones and teeth; fruits
and vegetables for extra vitamins
and minerals; easily digested meat,
eggs and fish for building and re-
pairing worn out tissues; enrich
ed cereals and breads to preserve
the appetite and aid the nervous
system, Since the foods high in
energy value are not needed in la
ter years, moderate amounts of
breakfast cereals and bread and
butter should be included Rich
desserts and gravies should be
avoided.
Milk is high in calcium and phos-
phorus. 1t is very important that
it be included daily in the diets of
every one. If older persons have
not had milk, this may be one rea-
son for less activity. Withdrawal
Of calcium and phosphorus from
the bones, if continued indefinitely.
may cause them to deteriorate.
