Sees No Tax Hike
On this improved site it is con-
templated to build the new city
hall and public rest rooms which
Mayor Edward c. Evans states can
be built, he believes, without any
increase in taxes, or debt.
Mayor Evans said that on ac-
count of the increase III city busi-
ness, and the increased work of
the Milford police department,
which is now housed in the old city
hall on Walnut Street, the building
has become crowded, and more
space is urgently needed.
Would Be Put Up To Citizens
The preliminary survey order is
to ascertain if the old city hall.
which is situated in the center of
the business section of Milford, can
be sold at a fair price.
Mayor Evans, in an interview,
made it clear that the actions
would not be taken without the
consent of the taxpayers of Mil
ford, and their opinion on the sub
jeet would be sought by either a
referendum, or a citizens meeting.

Easter Seal Agency, The Delaware
Society for Crippled Children and
Adults, Inc, is an affiliate of The
National Society for Crippled Chill
dren and Adults, Inc.
The Statewide goal for 1862 is
$4,000. This is an increase of $5,-
600 over the 1851 campaign goal.
Mrs. Vera G. Davis of Dover, pres
ident of The Delaware Society,
stated that the devalued dollar
has made it necessary to increase
the Easter Seal Campaign goal
rather than to decrease services to
the handicapped children and adj
ults.
At a recent executive committee
meeting in the Society offices, Mrs.
William II. Cam, State Campaign
Chairman, reported that over 65,-
600 letters will go out to individ-
uals explaining the services now
being provided through Easter Seal
Funds and the SOciety's hopes and
aims for additional services to be
established as soon as there is
money enough to support addition
al services. Five thousand more
letters have gone out in the mails
than were mailed during the 1851
campaign.
Mrs. Cam said that, for some
time, it mas been the custom of
many people to purchase a sheet
of Easter Seals for one dollar, and,
while in times past, that dollar
would buy considerable service for
crippled children, under present
conditions, it has become neceS-
sary for the Easter Seal Agency
TO set it's sights higher and the
Easter Seal Campaign can no long
er be thought of as a Dollar Cam
paign" but should be regarded as
service campaign" in which
everyone contributes an amount
each person feels will provide the
services for crippled children that
he knows are necessary.
Mrs. George Ehinger is the Kent
County chairman of the Easter Seal
Campaign. She is assisted by Mrs
John LOngbOtham of Milford and
Mrs. Howard Deakyne of Smyrna
as cO-chairmen in Kent County.
Mrs. Joseph Lofand of MillsbOrC
is the Sussex County chairman.
Mrs. Cam and her county
chairmen urge everyone to give as
generously as they can to the vol
untary campaign that keeps 92%
of it's collected funds right here in
Delaware to meet the unmet needs
of the crippled. Easter Seals hell
and give courage to those who face
life with greater handicaps thar
we can ever realize or understand

SPARK OF LIFE by Eric Maria
Remarque. Appleton = Century =
CTOfts, Inc, New York. 1915. This
volume is rough going even for
readers who can take it. It is a
realistic treatment of the cOncen-
tratiOn camp; giving out the hard
facts of tortured lives in the mad
ness of war. Numbers instead of
names, skeleton forms of living
death, men used as guinea pigs,
the smell and crime of the ere
matOrium, filth and disease COM
pose the ugly picture. Yet above
all there is the human will to free
dom; the survival of the human
spirit. The spark of life burns
in the one soul Says the author:
GAS long as human beings are i'm
prisOned, tortured, and murdered
for their convictions, humanity is
a bitter farce. If this book can
draw some attention to the fight
against tyranny. its purpose will
have been fulfilled"
TARA'S HEALING by Janice
Holt Giles. Westminster Press,
Philadelphia. $500. A different
theme with a doctor the patient.
NeurOtic, and in the veterans hos
pital, DR.. Tara COchrane meets an
old acquaintance who served un-
der him in the army. Hod Pierce
invites the doctor to go home with
him to the Kentucky hills, there to
find a change of scene and secur-
ity. A preacher, Jory Clark, en-
cOurages the doctor to find a life's
mission to the hill people. And so
they work hand in hand. Near the
end of the book the doctor ans
wers a challenge to herOism, and
is wounded i'm taking anOther's
place. Because he'd seen and
known a man who wasn't afraid
to be good, he wasn't afraid any
longer. Because the only reason
he could see the goodness in him
was because il was the image of
his most secret self" This book
