Contest, the big Chicken Fry, fea-
turing the worlds largest frying
pan, and the whole affair closed
with mammoth parade of flats,
bands and organization groups on

The Chicken Festival is financed
by voluntary contributions from
all parts of the industry and there
fore includes hatcheries, feed deal
ers. growers, processing plants,
suppliers of equipment, vaccines
nd medieatons. The drive for
lese funds is now being carried
m under the direction of the f.
nance chairman in each of the
three states. The festival provides
the one time in the year when all
parts of the industry join together
in major promOtiOnal activity. In
general, the past year has not been
profitable for most segments OF
the industry, which makes it more
important that adequate funds be
raised this year for use in an ef-
fort to encourage a greater con-
sumption of Delmarva chickens.
Rules, procedures, entry blanks
etc, for the above events are now
being finali2ed and will soon bt

Heiehth Of Trust
Fresh from a visit to New
York, Mrs. Jouett Shouse has an
unusual experience to relate. If
you're not sitting down, you'd
better hold onto something
cause the chances are it will
never happen in your lifetime.
One afternoon in the Big City
Mrs. Shouse stepped into a taxi
at 277 Park avenue and asked
to be taken to the Hudson Thea
ter. She hadn't gone many
blocks, however, when she sud-
denly realized that she didn't
have a cent with her so she ex-
planned the situation to the
driver asking him to take her
back so she could pick up her
billfold. To her surprised ears
he said. II can lend it to you.
How much do you need? $40 or
$20?"
"Oh," she protested his ex-
traordinary generosity. II don't
want to borrow money from you.
Drive me back to my apart
ment."
mo, your time is probably
limited" he insisted. LET me
give you $40 or $40 and you can
send me a check"
She was dumfounded because
this man, complete stranger,
was not only willing to trust her,
a visitor to New York, for the
65-cent fare, but was also offer
ing her a goodly loan of his
hard-earned cash. She finally
SAID she would borrow 81 from
him, and she took his name and
address.
"You renew my faith in the
kindness of strangers" she told
him, recalling the last poignant
lines of "Streetcar Named De-
sire" The next day he received
his fare and a nice check be-
sides.

Comments on q Friend
Francis P. Matthews, former
Secretary Of the Navy and AM
bassador to Ireland, had the
kind Of simple goodness that
touches the heart. A deeply sim
cere person, there was no sham
or hypocrisy about him. He
stood on his inner conviction of
what was right. He would not
dissemble for the sake of a good
press or world opinion, not even
in diplomacy where assembling
is an accepted practice. This
was apparent to those of us
who visited him in Ireland.
Practically a teetotaler and
with no interest in equestrian
events, it wouldn't have oc-
cured to him to fake an in
terest in either Irish whiskey
or Irish horses-the two prod
ucts of which the Irish people
are most proud. Nor was there
any pretense about his common
tie with the Irish when he went
to mass at 7 o'clock every morn
ing Of the year. Exceedingly
grateful for any kindness from
his fellow beings, he tried to
practice his religion, too. For
example, he went out of his
way Immediately and vastly tc
improve the living conditions of
the Embassy's domestic staff in
Dublin. The Irish who had come
to know him respected him for
his goodness and integrity.
