 UNIFIED NATIONS (P) The U. N. security council unani- mously approved a Western proposal calling for measures to separate Israeli and Egyptian forces along the troubled Gaza frontier.

 These steps were proposed yesterday by Maj. Gen. E. l. M. Burns, U.

An interesting letter from a
former Smyrna resident but who
now lives at New Canaan, Conn,
contains nice things said about
the Times staff of writers, also
the Times as a fine newspaper. In
his letter the writer, Mr.. ]. Irving
Hoffecker, states that he is 78
years old, a Delawarean living in
Yankee land. He also states that
he enjoys reading the column on
Townsend, and that our pithy re-
marks and criticisms concerning
Delaware of his boyhood days in
trigues him no end. He also en-
joys the reprint of fifty years ago,
and the weakly wit of the Clay
ton correspondent. He further
states there being no future for a
chap of his age, he must neces-
sarily turn to reminiscence and
old friends for down to earth en-
joyment. In closing he wishes us
many more happy birthdays.
Thank you, Mr.. Hoffecker for
your very kind wishes. 1t is
nice to hear so many kind words
from friends on our birthday, the
day of true appreciation and
sweet memories.

On the opening day of the small
game season large fiocks of gum
ners went out to shoot up the
woods and fields. George War
rington killed his quota of rabbits
in one hour, while Henry Potts
also of Wilmington, bagged his
quota of birds in two hours. Two
other Wilmington hunters hunted
for opposums and each got four
of them having found them in
hollow stumps while tramping
through the woods.
November IL, 1918 was a day
of memories. 1t marked the his

thus honored American arms and
valor. AS soon as word was re-
ceived here of the Armistice be-

who resided here then organized
parade and soon the march
around town amid enough glory
to thrill anyone. The parade had
about forty cars in line and the
solemn smiling participants enjoy
ed the event until the march fin
ished.
How far can a person walk in
day? That is an important
question since some fellows have
been known to go to Wilmington
on a hike across country and
made the trip in eight hours. An
other person we knew used to
walk to Odessa to get his morn
ing exercise and said he felt bet
ter everytime he made the trip.
He was about 65 years old and
often walked with a cane. An
other man here started his daily
walk at daybreak and thought
nothing of walking to Warwick to
attend church every Sunday morn
ing. This man was blacksmith
and was a good one at that.
Other persons have made success
full trips all going in different di-
rections as they felt want to go.
George Phillips of Middletown
used to walk to Armstrong early
every morning and he called the
trip his morning bracer.

HOuse-Hunters:
Don't Ignore
Possibilities
Of'UsedHome'

a used car in good condition is
often a better buy for the money
than a brand new one. House
hunters are finding the same to be
true in the used home" market.
Real estate brokers counsel cli-
ents to look beneath the surface
for the remodeling potential in
older houses. If the house is struc-
turally sound, the buyer usually
can end up with a house with a
resale value far higher than the
purchase price and remodeling
cost combined. Here are some
used home" shopping tips:
Choose a house that is already
the right size for your present
needs-with expansion possibili-
ties in an attic or breeZeway if
YOUR family is on the increase.
A sound, intact shell is must.
Signs of settling, such as sloping
floors or wall cracks, suggest a
faulty foundation or sill. Signs of
dampness in the basement should
be investigated. Floors which vi
brate or squeak mean trouble, but
bracing may remedy this. Win
dows and doors should open
smoothly and swing evenly.
When remodeling, attend to a
leaky, weatherworn roof first,
since it's the first line of defense
against weather. A sound, water
tight roof of fire-resistant asphalt
shingles can be economically ap-
Piled = often right over the old
roofing. Next, see that the siding
is equally weather-resistant. Re-
pair or replace windows and doors
that are not in condition to seal
out wind, rain, and dust.
When decorating the house,
paint the siding and trim in a re-
lated tone of the asphalt roof coll
or. A subdued color scheme with
out strong contrasts will go far to
disguise any awkward architec-
tural features an older house may
have.
The second line of defense is
adequate insulation, often lacking
in older houses. Wrap the house
in mineral wool all around, that
is, in outside walls and attic floor.
1t will keep fuel bills low right
from the start, and pay for itself
in few winters.
Once full weather protection is
assured, interior remodeling can
follow gradually, as your budget
permits.

Just how good buy is farm machinery nowadays?
Are the prices charged for it reasonable excessive? Does
the farmer get greater lesser value than he used to-?

and factory wages increased heavily 40 per cent and
per cent respectively Higher prices also had to be
paid for many other necessary supplies including tires
ignition parts batteries radiators and Yet the
pany increased the prices charged for only six of the
farm machinery items it produces and the total in
creases averaged less than five per cent.
This does not end the story For that period of
time costly engineering research led to design improve
men that substantially increased the work value of the
equipment The machines did better job than their pre-

the ammunition supply in Korea is satisfactory or

DoyIight Sowing
Time Gradually

Despite almost constant opposi-
ton. daylight saving time grows
and takes over a larger share of
the nation each year.
New York City has voted to join
most of New England in 1855 in
extending summers hour-ahead
time through October, instead of
ending it on the last Sunday in
September.
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Maine and New Hampshire, plus
few communities in Vermont,
tried carrying daylight time over
into fall last year and liked it.
That hour of daylight shifted
from morning to evening gives
pleasure to millions, saves sub
stantial amounts of power in light
ing streets and homes, and cuts
dusk traffic accidents, proponents
argue.
Daylight Saving" time, still
less than 40 years old, has stirred
up storms of sound and fury -
but has been adopted from New
foundland to British Borneo.
Ben Franklin reputedly first
thought of moving the clocks of
Paris ahead to save wax candles.
Paris laughed him down. Not until
1907 was the idea revived by an
Englishman, William Willett. A
decade later it found an American
champion in businessman named
Robert Garland.
Garland fought much the same
battle in the United States. Con-
gress passed daylight saving time
in 1918, but it lasted only two
years. President Wilson was not
in accord. but the measure was
repealed and did not turn up on
the national scene again until 1912,
in a second war.
