Americas Number One Band
that's how the country's leading
music publications described Ralph
Flanagan ard his orchestra, a short
time after they played their first
date at WTentham, Mass, in March,
1850. Actually, although the de-
scriptiOn was correct, it fell short
of telling the whole story. Closer
to a true picture would have been
supplied by such a phrase as
Americas Miracle Band. For in
climbing to the top Flanagan, who
will appear in person at The New
Milford on Sunday, November 23rd,
broke every established speed law
for success.
Here's a quick resume of the
things he accomplished in the first
year: Crossed a half million dol
lars played lin person" to an esti-
mated three million persons; broke
attendance and gross records in
many of the nations top dance band
location spots; had "A weeks OF
sponsored commercial radio shows

Ords, as we'll as 1950's top selling

Meanwhile, plans for the annual
V. F. W.-spOnsored kiddies party
are progressing nicely with Chair
man Walt Quering and committee
members working like eeager beav-
ers" to make this years party the
biggest and best yet.
Initially staged three years ago
as part Of Blue Hen Posts program
of service to community, this party
for underprivileged youngsters has
attracted much public attention
and has been supported not only by
the veterans hut also by non-veter-
ans who have contributed time,
gifts and money. The first party de-
velOped from an idea by Clement
Nevins, present post commander,
who headed up the committee for
the first Xmas Party; approximate
ly 100 youngsters were entertained
and assisted at the first party and
this number has increased each
year. Palmer Anstine headed up
the 1850 Christmas Party commit
tee and w. Gordon Manlove was
chairman last year.
Reports on progress of plans for
the 1852 party highlighted the regu-
lar meeting of the post membership
held at the Post Home Tuesday
evening Plans were also discussed
for a "kick-off'' membership drive
dinner, and reports were made on
such recent V. F. W.sactivities as
co-sponsorship of a Bazaar and
sponsorship of a highly successful

Dover Hi To Sponsor
Annual College Night
tcOntinuea from Ilrst Dags)


/ cepted the invitation to have a part
in this event, and number of
others are expected to send their
| acceptances shortly.
AS for the boys and girls for
whom College Night is designed,
about 500 from various parts of the
state have registered.
The schedule remains the same
as in previous years, the first item
being a dinner in the Social Hall at
o'clock. This will be for school
administrators, cOunsellOrs, and the
local faculty. Reservations should
be made in advance by contracting
Miss Harrison.
( Following the dinner will come
the general meeting in the Field
House, commencing at 1880 p. m.
Guest speaker is to be DR.. Frances
/ Wilson, Director of Vocational and
( Educational Guidance for the City
! of New York. DR.. Wilson was for
merly connected with the Guidance
Laboratory at Teachers College,
Columbia University. Her address
will concern many of the problems
inherent in securing advanced, or
higher, education and the apprO-
pirate places for the purpose.
Later, conferences with the vari-
Gus Representatives will be avail
able in the high school building.
All interested seniors and juniors
throughout Delaware, and their
parents, are urged to take the Op-
pOrtunity to meet and talk with the
cOunsellOrs at this time.
The obvious advantage of College
Night, and the reason for its sue
cess to date, is that it provides To-
cally and uniquely the contacts
with institutions for advanced
training that would. in many in
stances, be impractical or actually
impossible for students and parents
because of factors Of travelling dis
tance and expense.
Delaware's State Department OF
Public Instruction is actively sup
porting College Night, as is also
the Dover BO3rd of Education.
Additional Information regarding

intendent of Schools, David NJ

Home Food Production
Is Down In State

The amount of home food pro-
ductiOn in Delaware and in the rest
Of the nation is decreasing.
Us this a wise trend?" questions
Miss Louise r. Whitcomb, home
management specialist of the Del
aware Agricultural Extension
Service.
Farm families produced quanti-
ties of food at home under the pres
sure Of war and rationing, says
Miss WhitcOmb, but it evidently
doesn't appear urgent now with
store shelves full.
Miss Whitcomh feels that home
food production is even more i'm
portant now. She gives two main
reasons.
First is the high cost of food.
Home food production and preser-
walton can cut family costs by as
much as One-third. Some farm fam
lies do produce One-third of the
food they eat
Second is the farm diet. Studies
have shown that the nutrients in
which most farm diets are low are
those which home produced foods
can help supply. For example: Wit
amin A and ascorbic acid are found
to be low in farm diets.
Fresh fruits and vegetables can
supply both of these. Calcium is an
other lack in many farm diets. Milk
eggs, meat and poultry can supply
it and ribOflavin and protein.
So if high prices continue next
year and the housewife wants her
Lamily to be nutritiOnally we'll fed,
, it looks as though home produced
food should be in family plans for
/ 1853.

First Comic-Strip
Creator?

ROME -, (P) - Was the 18th
century painter Giotto the first
comic-strip creator?
PierO BaTgellini, Italy's leading
art critic, said in a magazine arti-
Gle that the series of mural paint
ings made by Giotto, Andrea delP-
Orcanga, Agnolo Gaddi, Domenico
del GhirlandaiO and other leading
Italian artists were "the first COM
ic strips" Giotto's was the first.
He added then, as of TODAY.
there was the need to attract the
attention of the common people
the eternal children-who, unable
to read, preferred to see, that is to
read by images"
The question of education by
comic strips, much debated in this
country and abroad, found in Bar
gellini a defender who said comic
strips have an immediate grin on
the fantasy of the simple ones and
of children"

almost $50 radio hams are mobiI-
lied for just that purpose.

then proceeds to solve it. Some
times the hams" act as agents of

FARM NOTES

Plant breeders are now adapting
crop plants to machinery. Breed
ers have already whitfield the sorg-
hum plant down in size to fit the
grain combine. They have devel-
Oped small grains with stronger
stems that stand up straight and
wait for the combine. They have
developed sturdier shanks on hy-
brid corn and put the ears at an
even height to fit corn pickers
And they nave managed to lift the
pods higher on the sOybean plant
to fit the combine. Now they are
working Oh adapting the cotton
plant to machines and the chem
ical age, says the USDA Agricul-
tural Research Administration.

The 30th annual Outlook Con-
ference was held in Washington,

ture trends. This information is
channeled back to farm people
through the Delaware Agricultural
Extensions Service.
