August Lawn Moving

If moving the lawn is one Of the
jobs your husband is lazy about in
summer, that may be all to the
good for the grass. William HI
Mitchell, assistant Extension agro-
nOmist at the University of Del
aware, says that the kind Of grass
you have should decide how close
to cut in summer. If you have the
familiar bluegrass or creeping fes-
cue, which thrives sin cool seasons,
then laziness about moving during
hot August weather may benefit or
even save your lawn. A close shave
in the heat can ruin such a lawn
Mr. Mitchell advises that these
"cOOl season grasses should be cut
no shorter than 1-11k to 2 inches
in hot weather. "A closer cut at this
season when growth is slow may
use up the food reserves Of the
plant so that it win be too weak
to come back when the cooler fall
growing season begins,

Can you realize
that symbols Of

be into a fall month SO soon.
But there it Wednesday,
September /. And one week
from that day there will be the
patter Of feet past this door
and boys and girls will be on
their way to school again.
Then comes the period of ad-
iustment for parents, teachers
and pupils for another school
term. For it is new work each
year and it does take time to
acclimate ones self. The Board
Of Education has planned
ahead and has issued invita-
tions for a reception on Thurs
day. September 8. at eight o.
clock, when they will honor
the new members Of the ele-
mentary, junior and senior
high school faculty. This is a
very nice gesture on the part
Of the Board and annually
done, to make the new men,
bers feel welcome. It takes
place in the cafeteria and the
social hour follows the recep-
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chester C. Cot
fin announce the engagement Of
their daughter. June Naudane.
to Mr.. Richard Charles Felty,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry B.
Felty Of Dover. Miss Coffin is
a graduate Of Milford High
School and is associated with
the Dover Office Of the Dia-
mond State Telephone Com
pany. Mr.. Felty was gradu-
ated from Caesar Rodney High
School and is with Motorcar
Service Company. No date has
been set for the wedding.
Informative clippings from
western papers have again
been received from the Carl
Collels, who have been having
a marvellous trip along the
coast from Alaska to Southern
California. Their last visit was
in 1850 and they have noted
many changes in the places

they have visited, particularly
speaking of White Horse in
Canada as having doubled in
size, and Anchorage in Alaska,
as being SOME city. The Alcan
Highway they have been over
and by the time they reach
home will have covered an es-
timated $4,000 miles. What in
teresting accounts they could
give!
This evening at the George

Mr.. and Mrs. Sheaffer will be
Joined by Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin

will make quite a gathering.
From nine to eleven o'clock
they will greet them and well
come them to an evening of
sociability.
Tomorrow Mrs. Leslie Dob
son is having the members of
her sewing club and her
neighbOrs to come to Lewes
Beach for the day. Mrs. Dob
son shares her cottage with her
friends each year in this way,
having them come with their
children for a day at the shore.
Mrs. Jack Burris is also gener-
GUS with her cottage and has
had a similar group visit her
this month.
You surely have noticed how
much politics enter in every
conversation these days. With
election time a little more than
two months away, l suppose it
is time for the warming up
period. Interesting to her
friends was the picture of our
Lillian 1. Martin with President
Eisenhower. which this paper
carries this week. So much
goes on before we shall know
who our representatives in
state and national bodies will
be. 1t will make a busy fall.
So much for this week that
brings August 1854 almost to a
close.

Dual Vaccination
Program For Dogs
CONTINUED from iirst page)

CONTINUED from first page)
Increasing frequency as a develop
ment of the distemper complex.
The Foundation warned against
considering such immunization pro-
grams as providing permanent pro
lection. Dogs leading a semi-seclud-
ed life need booster inOculatiOns at
regular intervals. Those in heavily
populated areas with free access to
streets usually experience constant
exposure to virulent virus which
may have the same effect as a
booster.
Inoculating brood dogs a few
weeks before breeding is good prac-
tice, said the Foundation. Immuni-
zing antibOdies are passed along in
the milk to protect puppies during
their critical early days.
