Burning destroys materials in
the upper soil layers that form hu-
mus. An accumulation of debris
improves the water holding capac-
ity of the soil and destroying this
upper layer may increase the need
for more fertilizer.
Not only does burning destroy
humus in the soil, but it destroys
many young rabbits still in the
nest and are killed by these ground
fires also. Since the first litters
of rabbits and the young which
they produce will make up large
percentage of this falls bag, it is
necessary that they be given as
much protection as possible.
Burning has little or no control
over live weed seeds. In fact,

School News

On Friday, May 11th, pupils O
grades 3 and 4 accompanied b,
their teachers, Mrs. Evans and Mr.
Davis, went on an educational tril
TO Philadelphia. Other interested
adults who went were Mrs. Naom
Harris, Mrs. Mary Powell, and Miss
Agnes Dennis.
The first stop in Philadelphia
was made at Independence Square
Here the children heard a briel
history of the Liberty Bell. Eacf
child was allowed to touch the bel
as they observed it. They saw the
room in which the Declaration Of
independence and the COnStitu-
ton of the United States were
signed. 1t was very interesting to
see the very early fire wagons and
firemen's hats.
After leaving Independence
Square, the pupils journeyed to
The Betsy Ross Home, the place
where the first flag of the United
States was made. Most of the chill
dren were very interested in the
high canOpied bed and the bed
warmer. They wanted to know how
person got in such a high bed.
The visit to the aquarium was
equally as interesting. Many fish
that heretofore had been seen only
in pictures could be observed
closeup swimming about.
And then on to the Zoo! How
thrilled the youngsters were to
hear a lion roar just a few feet
from them. 1t was gratifying to
note that because of their studies
in Science, most of the children
could recognize, the animals and
tell interesting facts about them
before reading the write-up on the
cages. Since many pupils had TAX
en- cameras with them, many pic
lures were taken which will be a
reminder of the pleasant day spent
in Philadelphia. 1t was a tired but
happily satisfied group of children
who finally settled in their bus to
begin the trip back home.
The ~ II. A. girls went on a
hike to Mr.. Amos Bells farm on
Saturday. They were accompanied
by Mrs. Russell. At the farm. they
roasted weinies, played softball and
rode on Mr.. Bells tractor. This
tired bunch was brought back to
town in a truck.
The last p. T. A.. meeting for
this school term will be held on
Monday evening at 500. AT this
time, officers for the next year
will be elected. Please be present
and give your support.
On Thursday evening. May 24ih.
at 500, the elementary grades will
present the operetta "Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs." Please give
these children your support. They
have worked hard and deserve it.
Tickets are on sale now. Admis-
sion is as follows: Adults-50c;
children-25c; families attending
with A or more children will be
admitted for $3.50.
May Day activities will be held
on Wednesday. May 30th. Since this
is also Memorial Day, services will
be conducted at 11:09 a. m.
A boy or girl from each class
has been chosen to compete to be
May King or Queen. These pupils
we're chosen by their classmates
on such traits as scholastic abili
ty, courtesy, initiative and leader
ship ability. The contestant selling
the most tickets for the ''Snow
White" operetta will be crowned
King or Queen and will reign over

activities will be concluded with
a softball game between the boys
Of Laurel and Milford.

Harmful Effects OF Weed

GEORGETOWN - About this

Lights Asked
By Mcdowell

Installation of highway lighting
on the bridge over the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal at st. Georges
in the interests OF safety was re-
commended by u. S. Rep. Harris
B. Mcdowell, Jr., (D-Del, in let
ter to Col Allen F. Clark, Jr.,
Army district engineer, Philadel-
phia district.
A copy of the letter was also
sent to Richard A. Haber, chief en-
gineer, Delaware Highway Depart
ment.
Mr.. Mcdowell wrote in part:
when the bridge was originally
built, there were lights placed on
it. For some reason, they were la
ter taken down 1t may have been
a part of the blackout during the
war period. The reason for their
removal is not known to me.
However. it certainly seems to
me that it has become a common
safety practice for such structures
to have the modern daylight kind
of lighting installation. for night
traffic. The safety features would
also apply to residents of the area
who must use the bridge in order
to cross back and forth over the
canal. Other than these safety fea-
lures, it would add considerably in
my opinion to the attractiveness of
the structure"
The congressman was informed
that a contract has been awarded
to Acorn Construction Co, Inc,
100 South 31st Street, Philadelphia,
for deck repairs on the same
bridge. The amount of. the contract,
awarded by the Corps of Engineers.
is $15,49O. Deck repairs apparently
means repairs to expansion joints
on the bridge roadway, a highway
department official said. The work
is now under way.

A Salute to Mother

In all the world there is no
other who could possibly take the
place of a dear mother. Those
words may sound familiar to you,
but just how much meaning is in
them? It is difficult to tell. No
two people feel the same about
their mothers. Even two children
with the same parents have varied
feelings.
The amount of love, affection,
gratitude, respect, admiration,
ETC., that one has for his mother
is not measurable with cooking
utensils nor tape measures. That
feeling is intangible and expresses
itself in numerous ways.
And on this special day, Moth
er's Day, when all mothers are
honored, we tend to show this at
lection more so. And may this
1856 Mothers Day be the best day
of every mothers life. For God
has said: Honor thy father and
thy mother.
HAPPY Mothers Day to all
mothers!

through this medium he will de-

and varied aspects of the educa-
tional institution. All this Is quite
true, however, I feel that the
question pertinent to whether or
not a student should 60 to college
should be left entirely to the in
dividual.
Frankly, I don't think every
student should be made to go to
college. This sounds rather IRA
tional, I know, but let's face it:
everyone just isn't college ma
terial. This now brings in the
question of who is college mater
ial and who possesses these
qualities?
Only those persons who are
definitely sure that they want to
go to college, want to develop a
meaningful philosophy of life,
those persons who are willing to
sacrifice much time and effort to
better themselves and their coun-
try, and those persons who have
acceptable comprehension for ed
ucation. To these persons and only
these do l extend the invitation

found desires, / assure you that
the embarrassment upon yourself
and your family due to your hav-
ing to leave school because cd
low scholarship, or other such
reasons, would be lessened.
Having now definitely decided
to come to college, just what type
of life should you expect to find?
College is not a three season
resort, neither is it a four year
Sweatshop. Still it's a vast new
area, full of excitement and dis
appointment. l could go so far as
to say that ii is one of the broad
est links between high school and
maturity.
College affords one the OPP
cortunity to make many of his
own decisions (although at times
these might be questioned by the
deans) take part in extra cuuric-
ular activities, further studying in
some particular field, and yet
have time for a little "grillology"
