These are probably the
busiest days for any
family. Not only is
there house cleaning
and house keeping to
do but so mucn school takes
place this month. Even the
smallest pupil is concerned
with the last weeks of school,
and the thrill of having done
good work during the year, and
will be passed on to the next
grade in the fall is one of the
big issue of his or her life.
Just about this time, too, comes
the thought of the occupancy
Of the cottage for summer and
the preparation for that migra-
ton takes place. Some families
will be having a son or daugh-
ter graduate and the hustle Of
the events current with that
puts parents in a whirl of ac-
tivities, even though the actual
graduation comes in June, so
much goes in the preparation
just now. Every month is
busy but May must surely be
at the top of the heap.

wares milk production could be-
come alarming if the present trend
to do away with dairy herds con-
tinues, according to Walter Lee
president of the State Board OF Ag'
riculture.
A survey conducted by the De
partment of Agriculture indicates
that farmers are reducing herds OF
abandoning them entirely in favor
of other crops, poultry raising an'
similar, more profitable operations
Cause for this change, according
to the survey, is the inability o
farmers to secure, what they be
lIieve is. a fair price for their pro
duct. They sight the fact that tn
nrocessor is able to secure increas
es in his price when costs OF oper
alton rise, but the same has no
held true to the farmer.
"The State Department OF AgFl
culture feels it has duty to per
, form in reporting the following
facts to the people Of the state n
.. said. "Milk is one OF our mos
staple food products. Our babie
and young children are in need 9
a suficient quantity Of milk in thei
! daily diet if parents wish to kee
. them healthy and develop stron
bodies. Adults as we'll are larg
milk consumers" J"
"Our survey disclosed, Lee con
tinued, that during the past yea
there was a decline Of 6.02S in tn
( number of dairy cattle in Delawar
' herds. The fact is also reporte
E that we had 1,76S dairy farms !

others, listening to Programs on
TV or Radio, but your first step
must be to have a receptive mind.
You must also see only the good in
all so that your mind is clear and
not cluttered with evil or with
that which is not good so that you
will be receptive to the best that
is available to you through all
channels.
We might tell you that Poise
and Faith go hand and hand. When
you have poise you will have faith
in what you can do and in your
self. Then too, one of the most
important things to know is that
when you have POISE you have
POWER to convince, attract, and
sell" yourself and what you are
trying to do.
Charm can not be thought of
without knowing POISE.

your letters :. +. Lou Swarz, Global,

YOUR POISE is YOUR POW
Err and you can count on
holding any person, audience, man.
ager, or group to your listening
pleasure when you have poise. Then
you might say, What is Poise?"
The most simple definition of
Poise was one given by Thomas
Gaines, noted Lecturer of Los
Angeles Poise is to know that
you know you know" Easy, isn't
it? Especially when you know
what you do know, and know it
well. In such instance you have
no fear and can do whatever you
have to do whether it is driving
your Cadillac, speaking before
thousands or before ten, designing
an exquisite gown, writing a story,
conducting an interview, entertain
ing as hostess or artist :. but you
must know what you are doing and
know it well.
Poise can be acquired through
reading, training, contacts with
