tratiOn laws, it was pointed out by
Mr.. Mcdowell, has been written
for the benefit of the layman-the
average person not versed in the
law who would find it difficult to
understand the legal Technology
in the complete edition of the reg
istratiOn and election laws. He
said that wherever possible the
actual laws themselves had been
interpreted, stripped of the legal
phraseOlogy, and condensed into
easy to read and understandable
language. The entire code of regis
tration and election laws has been
condensed into only twenty-One
pages in the manual and would not
require more than half hour or
an hours reading time, Mr.. Nc
Dowell indicated.
The Secretary of State nOinted
out that the last section of the
booklet which contains the COM
pilation of election statistics for
the past six general elections,
marks the first time that such in
formation had been made avail
able through any office of the
state. The information in this sec
ton gives the results of all state
OFFICES for 1910, 1912 and 1914,
while for the last three general
elections-1946, 194S and 195O-the
statistics include county and legis-
Iative offices as we'll as all state
offices. Included in the pamphlet,
it was pointed out, were the list
of elective offices to be filled in
each general election, as well as
a map of Delaware showing Repre-
sentative and Senatorial districts
and a map of Wilmington with the
same information. Any groups or
individuals desiring copies of the
Condensation of the Registration
and Election Laws may do so by
writing to the Office of the Secre-
tary of State, Dover, Delaware.

4-TO-1 Gain Shown
In Persons Over IS
CONTINUED from IIrst pagsl

The fourfound increase in the
relative number of older persons
was attributed primarily to gains
in the fields of illness prevention
and medical care and the general
rise in the standard of living. Few
er die in childhood or their early
adult years; more live to reach
their sixties and seventies.
In observing that women are
tougher than men," the book said
that the trend toward more older
women resulted from a more rapid
decline in female mortality. More
boy babies were born, it noted, but
since in every age class the male
death rate was higher the male su-
periority in numbers in a given
generation did not last very long.
Other highlights of the report
were as follows:
Between 1910 and 1850 the
country's population 65 years and
over rose SO per cent. In CalifOr-
MIA and Nevada the increase was
at least GO per cent, in Arizona
and Florida, 80 per cent
The proportion of men 65 years
and over in the labor force de-
clined from So per cent in 1890 to
Al per cent in 1852, primarily be-
cause of the shrinking place ag-
riculture and self employment
held in the national economy.
OF the 100000 older persons
5000 900, or in 10, lived in their
own households, 100000 with
wives, husbands ore some other
relatives.
Of the families headed in 1850
by person So years of age or
older 43 per cent had cash in
come of less than $1,000 30 per
cent had under $1,000 and nearly
40 per cent had under $500.
In the fifty years life expect
ancy at birth rose from 40 years
60 6S years, with the biggest inn
provement securing in early
years of life and becoming pro
excessively smaller in later years.

England and Germany between
April, 1947, and March, 1850.
He and his 'old friend" were
separated in 1850. Whether She

Safety Council Notes

IAN exciting game....a quick dash
into the street,..an automobile bear
ing down...and the game ends trag-
ically for some unfortunate child"
In these words, Robert Kennedy
sketched today a scene all too fire.
quietly enacted in our streets. Mr..
Kennedy, vice president for Public
Safety of the Delaware Safety
Council which is cooperating with
the National Safety Councils Sep
TENDER Back to School Child Safety
program, urged parents to redoubie
their vigilance to guard their child
ren against involvement in traffic
accidents.
Children" he said, must be
taught to take care of themselves
III traffic. It seems strange that
parents who are careful of their
children's we'll being in other re-
spects will often be negligent in the
matter of safety instruction. What
good is a balanced diet, adequate
rest and the many comforts and
Injuries most parents try to pro-
vide if the child knows no better
than to risk his life needlessly in
trafic?"
Mr.. Kennedy pointed out that
training for traffic safety is an out
growth of all safety training, not
something that starts when the
child first ventures out alone in
traffic.
He advised parents to teach by
practice as well as by precept,
since children learn most readily
by example, and stressed the ne
Cessity of cOordinating the home
instruction in traffic safety with
] the traffic safety program at school
Any conflict between the two, he
maintained, will hOpelessly confuse
youngsters. He also suggested that
( parents follow up to make sure
their children put into practice the
/ traffic safety lessons learned at
home and in school.
"All efforts in traffic safety edu-
cation should be aimed at develop
ing a sense of responsibility in the
child" Mr. Kennedy said. Parents
should strive ii impress upon child
rem that whenever they are on the
street, without an adult, they are
strictly on their own-that any act
of carelessness may cost them their
lives"

1922 as being harmful to long run
and real interests of farm people.

Senator John j. Williams
United States Senate
Washington, d. G.
Dear Senator Williams:
HR 1922 providing for extension
of dual parity for three years and
mandatory price supports at 900
of parity for basic crops certainly
is not in the best interest of farm
ers from this section of the COun-
try.
High supports to farmers will
certainly cause consumers to de-
mand ceilings at support levels
and soon farmers would have a
completely controlled economy.
Price ceilings and high supports
have been discussed at a great
many meetings in Delaware and
opposition was unanimous to both
unless in an extreme emergency.
However, the majority are in
favor of a flexible support program
that will give farmers an <OppOr-
tunity to stay in business while
they make the necessary adjust
lments.
Sincerely yours,
! Ralph R. Peters

Counsel of the National Grange,

posed to extend the 500 parity

said that while his organization
could offer what it considered to
be a better agriculture program
than either the 500 Or the flexible
formula, nevertheless since it was
a choice between these two "the
flexible was superior to the 500
rigid support"

tors representing the three states

together in favor of the flexible
formula.

FISHING HEARING
TO BE HELD IN
WILMINGTON

Raleigh, March Problems fac
ing commercial fishermen of North
Carolina will be discussed at an
open hearing to be held by the
commercial fisheries committee of
the State Board of Conservation
and Development at Wilmington
March &c at l p. m. in the Whining
ton city councils meeting room,
George R. Ross, department direc-
tor, announced today.
The hearing, which preceded the
opening that night of the spring
meeting of the board of the De-
partment of Conservation and De-
velopment, will be presided over by
Mrs. Roland McClamroch of Chapel
Hill, chairman of the commercial
fisheries committee. Other men,
bers of the committee are: Charles
H. Jenkins, Ahoskie; Fred P. La
than, Belhaven; Charles S. Allen,
Durham, and DR.. C. Sylvester
Green, Chapel Hill.
All commercial fishermen having
matters they wish to place before
the committee are urged to be
present at the hearing, Director
Ross said. In view of the fact the
commercial fishing season will
soon be in full swing in the State,
the director anticipates the hear
ing will be we'll attended.
In many respects, Ross said, the
commercial fishing in the State for
the six months period that ended
January l was better than during
preceding years despite weather
conditions that at times made it
most difficult to catch the larger
fish when they were in North Caro-
lima waters.
Thus far, he added, the shellfish
season, based on reports made by
C. D. Kirkpatrick of Morehead
City, State fisheries commissioner,
has been much better than usual.
The harvest of oysters, shrimp,
hard and soft crabs, CLAIMS, and
escallops has been exceptionally
good, Kirkpatrick reported.

A GOOD DAYS
HAUL OF FISH
ATLONG SHOAL
Sea Level Men Bring in Two
Thousand Pounds and
Unload at Deep
Greek Monday

Some IL miles from Stumpy
Point, west bound on U. S. 264 a
narrow estuary called Deep Creek
makes in from Long Shoal River.
1t is crossed by a bridge, and oc-
casionally fishing boats tie up at
this spot. On Monday afternoon
was sight to gladden. the heart
of a fisherman. Two boats were
there, and in one of the boats was
a net, and in the other, more than
ton of shad, and herring, mostly
shad, with a small assortment of
mixed fish, including a monster
striped roe-bass that weighed all
of 80 pounds. Several diamond
back terrapins were clumsily
crawling over the fish.
This nice catch, made with a
short haul seine in Long Shoal
River where the fish were either
seeking harbor from the rougher
waters of Pamlico Sound, or were
bound to some nice fresh water
place to spawn their eggs and re-
turn to sea, brought more than
81 900. They represented the days
work of about four men, the lead
er being Frank Taylor of Sea
Level, way down in Carteret Coun-
ty. With their two boats, they had
found fishing no good at home, and
like all good fishermen who know
that 'fish are where you find
Them" set out to the place the fish
had gone. It is a nine and a half
hour trip by boat to the Long
Shoal vicinity, which means more
than a day and a half is conveyed
in travel between the fishing place
and home.
Fishing is a gambling game to
great extent. But its rewards go to
the keener fellows who work con-
stantly. Months pass by and no re-
turn, while expenses go on and
equipment depreciates, but finally
comes a day that hits the jackpot,
and that is all that is needed to en-
courage the fisherman to go on
even if he goes broke.
