Space. Is
Problem
lnSeWln!g
By EIeni

The "do-it-yourself" rage for
everything from assembling
furniture to making clothes
shows no signs of abating.
More and more women and
young girls are sewing than
ever before. It's more than a
fad. It seems to be a return
to the time when pride in the
self-made article was preva-
lent. Our machine age has had
a tendency to let interest and
pride of personal craftsman g,
ship fall by the wayside. Why
bother? The ready-made ar
ticle would answer it all.
Home Sewing Coming
But in some instances it
didn't-where, for example,
budgets wouldn't permit the
buying of such an item. In still
other instances the quality of
the item didn't satisfy the in
dividual seeking it. Whatever
the reason, home sewing is
gaining more and more con-
verts daily.
The woman who seWs has as
much a problem of space 'as
does a scientist.
Where to put her work space
so that it is efficient, compact,
and still not underfoot con-
fronts many a woman. The
right organization and PLAN
ming will alleviate the situa-
ton.
A Working Plan
Expensive cabinetwork isn't
necessary to achieve working
sewing center. Almost every
home has a bookcase which,
with a few simple additions
such as casters for easy NOV
ing, can be converted into an
interesting grouping.
It should contain the sewing
equipment needed such as a
work table, place for an IRON
ing board, an iron for pressing
seams, a fitting form if you
use one, and full-length mir
ror for try-ons. A handy peg
board on which to hang spools,
shears, a hem marker, tape
measure, thimble, pin cushion.
and other sewing accessories
should be thought of in your
overall plan.
Use a large box marked
Sewing Accessories" to keep
the necessities together even
on a closet shelf if you haven't
room for a peg board.
Storage Ideo
From the pfaff Sewing In
stitute comes a suggestion for
one storage idea. They sug-
gest leaving space for unf1n-
ished garments or uncut
material as we'll as a sewing
basket and other equipment.
Divide your sections. Make

later years. There also seems
to be quite a difference in the
ability to learn between the
group which has continued
study and the one which
dropped it the minute formal
schooling ended. Members Of
the first group are capable Of
much keener mental effort.
To Keep Up 1890"
Most men have to continue
studying to some extent in
order to keep UP with their
business or their careers. but
even so it may be a tempta-
ton to rest on the oars Of past
performance.
It never occurs to the aver.
age woman that it is down.
right essential that she exer-
else her mind if she wishes
to remain keen and youthful
mentally as the years pile up.
She can do this by studying
alone at home. by joining
study groups or by taking
classes in adult education.
New Language
There are no doubt many
subjects that would interest
you. Learning a new language
is always a splendid exercise
for the mind and nothing 10
quite so exciting or so much
fun as learning to express one
self in a new medium.
There are many courses
which require real study and
which are associated with
housekeeping and child care.
Study these but also some
thing entirely disassociated
with your daily life.

all of the patrons to Middletown.
The early gardeners are PLAN
ming to have another good garden
this year unless the bugs or a dry
spell sets in to bring ruin and
disgust. The usual race is to see
who can be the first to produce
the first tomato, also the first ear
of sugar corn. The contest usually
develops into a lively one but
based on friendliness. No one
seems to take the contest too SER
iously and that is well.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Townsend Fire Company met at
the fire hall last Tuesday evening.

Townsend

Formerly the peach state, Della
ware has now become the chicken
state and more and more plants
of the business are being added
as time goes by. The business
develops from a small yard of
poultry to a big business system
almost overnight, and thousands
of baby chicks are being sent all
over the country from Delaware
every day. Even boys and girls
while attending school take hand
at chicken farming and they gen.
orally succeed too. A good paying
business has often sprung up from
a small start and the limit has
not yet been reached. Chicken is
a favorite dish for lot of healthy
eaters.
Our congratulations to little
Peggy Hughes who celebrated her
7th birthday anniversary on Sat-
urday, March 10. Peggy had big
time on the occasion.
The eerie experience of digging
for pot of gold at midnight has
been tried out by several persons
who, after having dream to that
effect, crawled out of bed and
went quietly out into the country
to which point the dream had di-
rected them. After digging a big
hole, say 6 feet across and as
long, and finding nothing they
would creep back home and hurry
to bed. Usually their dreams were
misleading. Such holes are still
evident at Smyrna, Townsend and
Middletown. We have been unable
to find anyone who ever found
anything of value in the holes
they made.

The annual ham and chicken
salad supper will be held by the
Townsend Fire Company at the
Fire Hall on Thursday evening,
March "a, 5 to pm.
Sunday with its balmy spring
like weather gave opportunity for
the strollers, also car riders to
enjoy the lovely occasion. 1t was
truly delightful and not a few had
their longings in this respect sat
isfied. Soon, now the Sunday
walkers will be out in force and
every part of the country side
will be visited. Some of them will
go to real historic places and a
favorite place in the past has
been the site of the old Harman
Mill. The old mill, although gone

easae ARE THERE SEA

Yes, says DIR. Anton Bruun, leading Danish
be happy when he catches a real live monster
by A. Z. HOtchner
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-08-14

At the International Congress of
Zoology, held here and attended by 500
scientists from all over the world, DR..
Bruun, who was secretary-general of the
Congress, announced that after years of
research he had decided that formidable
sea serpents do actually exist in the
Atlantic and the Pacific.
Here in an exclusive THIS WEEK inter-
view, DR.. Bruun discloses the facts
behind this startling Copenhagen story.
If you thought reports Of sea serpents
were either hoaxes or based on mistaken
identity of whales or masses'of sea weed,
you can now judge for yourself.
Six-Foot Mystery
DR. BRUINS interest in the sea monster
stems from strange, unknown fish that
was caught in the South Atlantic by the
Dana deep-sea expedition of 1890. In
picked form. this six-foot fish was
identified as the larval form of an eel,
never before, nor since, observed.
This specimen" DR.. Bruun says,
had four hundred and fifty vertebral
plates, whereas the largest eels we know
about have only one hundred and fifty
plates. This means that if that fish had
grown to adult size, it might well have
been as big as any sea serpent from the
pages of science fiction. Fishes weighing
several tons, such as basking and whale
sharks, are not uncommon, and if their
flesh were confined in the elongated
shape of the eel, it would be monster
indeed"

COPENHAGEN

TVHE old sea serpent, with its bulging
l. green eyes and serrated back, has
once again reared its sinister head, but
this time under the best scientific aus
pices. Naturalists and oceanographers
have additionally pooh-poohed the
notion that sea serpents exist, but the
most eminent oceanographer of them
all, DR.. Anton Bruun, has dropped a
depth bomb that really has scientific
waters churning all over the world.
