London Paper
 Asks Margaret To Make Up Her Mind

LONDON, R-The big circula- ton Daily Mirror clamored today for Princess Margaret to make up her mind once and for all whe- ther she is going to marry Capt. Peter Townsend, 40-year-old div breed war hero.
 The paper, which claims the worlds largest daily circulation of more than Az million, printed a large front-page picture of the radiant princess with this head line: Come on Margaret"
 Below the portrait was the line: Please make up your mind"
 The Mirrors was only one voice in the growing chorus of speculation and gossip as the pretty princess prepared to cele- brate her 25th birthday Sunday in seclusion with the royal fam lily at Balmoral Castle in Scot land
 Once g, Margaret will be free of the Royal Marriage Acts ban on royal family weddings that do not have the sovereign's approval. It is generally accepted that Townsend, father of two children who divorced his wife for mis- conduct, is the man of the prin- cess heart.
 Because Queen Elizabeth II is temporal head of the Church of England and the church disap- proves the remarriage of even the innocent party in a divorce, the Queen could hardly sanction of ficially her sisters marriage to Townsend.
 But after Sunday Margaret can bypass Elizabeth and give years notice of intent to wed to the Privy Council and both Houses of Parliament. Unless they express 1y disapprove-an unlikely devel- opment in this day and age-the marriage can take place.

FELTON, FLA Group
Fighting Rodents

Future Farmers at the FELTON,
High School are taking an active
part in the program to reduce the
rat and mouse problem on Delaware
farms according TO a report just
received from Melvin c. Luff, the
teacher Of vocational agriculture.
The campaign involves first re-
moving harbors, brush, trash and
the like where rats and mice can
hide. Hurricane damage Of tine past
two years left many such spots on
Delaware farms. Removing this de-
bris will go a long way towards eli
minating places for rodents to live.
Each boy in the FLA chapter
has been encouraged to set out war
farin-type bats to kill the rats and
mice. The problem seems especial
" severe this year because storm
damage has created favorable coli
ditiOns for these pests. Prior to set
ting out the bait, each boy was
shown film on the proper way to
use bats and pOisOns for rodents.
They were carefully cautioned to
avoid the possibility of small chill
dren or pets accidently getting to
the bats.
The film is available for showing
to interested groups from the Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent. Several
pieces Of literature may also be OBJ
tanned from the same source.
Boys who have signed up to par
ticipate in the program so far are
as follows: Fred William Casper,
Wayne Dill, Bobby Draper, Joe
Green, Jackie Greenly, Laurence
Norris, George Diaz, Elmer O'Day,
Sammy Rattray, Martin ROthermel,
Marvin Rothermel, Norman Trib-
bett.
