TO CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY
fContinued from PaRe Onel

Day in Old New Castle" is observ-
ed annually the third Saturday in
May. This year it comedies with
Armed Forces Day. New Castle,
Delaware, has been proclaimed by
national authorities as the best
preserved colonial community
standing in America today. On the
Strand the buildings remain as
they were in the days of Peter
Stuvysant. True, repairs have been
made, but the homes of Cunning
Bedford, Jr., the fabulous George
Read House and others are much
as they were when New Castle
was still the colonial capital in
1776. The Old Court House, I'm
manuel Church, Amstel and Dutch
Houses, which are now museums,
give much at which the tourist
may revel and wonder how so
much at which the tourist may
revel and wonder how so much
has been preserved so long. Newer,
but non the less lavish and en-
! thralling to more than 10000 Wis
itors during the month of May,
1858, is the Wintherthur Museum,
west of Wilmington. The famous
azalea gardens will again be open
to tourists during this coming May
with the exception of Sunday and
Monday. There are garden tours
plus a visit to 80 of the more than
100 rooms of period furniture dat
ing from 1740 to 1910. The collec-
ton of Henry Francis DUPONT, it
was converted to one of the ma
tion's most glamorous museums
and attracts thousands annually.
Bookings for the museum tour
alone must be made in advance
and there is a waiting list nearly a
year long. All of this charm, all of
this historic lore will bring hund-
reds of people to Delaware in May
time-when the apple blossoms
will be in bloom, and plans will be
ready for the opening of Delaware
Park on Memorial Day for its
running race season which extends
through July 4th. Here is a bit of
the very foundation of the stuff
from which the United States of
America is made. It's worth a trip
to the First State on either of the
3so-called colonial days, on for a
tour of it's famous museums which
are open year-round.

not been prevented from rendering
them by being removed from his
place of employment, were not an

QUESTION REDUCED

This precedent determination by
the Justice Department was just re-
leased upon the conclusion of a re-
view hearing on the merits of the
claim which had been appealed by
the claimant. Originally the claim
had been summarily dismissed on
February IL, 1858 as involving
merely a loss of anticipated earn
ings" for which he could not re com
pensated under the law
decision, the government contended
that the present claim is reduced
strictly to the question of whether
or not the claimant is entitled to be
compensated because he was depri-
we'd of the full use Of his earning
power during the period of his ex-
clusion from tae military areas or
our West Coast during World Wal
II. The fact that this claimant had
position, around which the state OF
California had thrown certain pro-
tections, does not we belive, distin-
guish the case in respect of comper
stability from that of any other able
bodied claimant who both before
and after his evacuation proved his
willingness and ability to work
Methods could be found for evalua-
ting the losses of earnings in mos
cases if it was the intention of the
Congress that such losses should bt
paid"

ROCKLAND, MASS.--Dr. Jo

most troublesome of these, accord.
ing to the President of the Ma.

matomycosis Pedis, athletes foot
which may cause painful verrucae
warts, requiring extensive surgical
treatment. The greatest incidence
of the trouble occurs in the early

trouble would be avoided if people
would make 1t serious rule never
to wear a shoe without some kline
of foot covering. In the very hot
weather it is the safest procedure
to change socks or stockings al
least twice a day. Excessive per.
