from neighbOFing food producing
group, John Hammond, chairman Of
the Poultry Commission said, 1T is
gratifying to see that other folks,
too, think highly of Marion B. Al
lens ability as a specialist in the
field of food promotion. While we
here in Delaware have not desig-
mated such a distinctive award to
Mrs. Allen, we are none the less
appreciative of her efforts and of
her contribution to the poultry in
dustTy of this area"
Some of the commissions promo
tiOns have been aimed at consum-
ers, some at the trade, and, some
locally. All of these have been di-
rected toward improvements in
both production and marketing and
a wider knowledge of the use OF
our poultry products. During the
past few years, our chickens have
been featured and plugged
through publicity contacts, with an
average of 7j times per year, and,
during 1858, 1875 times. Recently,
commercial radio and TV pro-
grams were purchased on eight sta
tiOns in five different eastern cities
in an effort to bolster the depressed
| chicken market.

up in Greenwood. The building in
which the Delaware Aircraft In

built, and the operating four story
steel structure has been completed.
Each of the eight bins will be
sixty feet high and fifteen feet in
diameter, also of steel. They will
arrive in the near future.
More than two million pounds of
popcorn on the ear is now in
storage at the plant ready for pro-

mel positions. With the excep-

ment, the Veterans Administra-
ton SO far is the largest Gov
eminent agency to appoint a
special official to handle job re-
quests.
The VA appointment has
caused considerable uneasiness
among VA employees and some
veterans groups. They declare
that the VA has been relatively
free of party politics during the
past Is years or so and that
most job appointments were
made without regard to political
partisanship.
Most VA jobs are under civil
service. but the huge agency does
have thousands of positions not
covered by the merit system.

There have only been four
