AGE OF WHIsKEY

The period of storage OF whiS-
key, after distillation and before
bottling, in oak containers.
In the case of American-type
Whiskies, it means storage in
charred, new oak barrels with
the exception of corn whiskey).
According to the U. S. Govern
ment Standards of Identity, the
time a whiskey spends outside
of a charred, new oak container
does not add to it's age.
Corn whiSkey need not be aged
in charred containers. However,
when corn whiskey has been
treated with charred oak chips
or stored in charred oak barrels,
it becomes bourbon whiSkey.

Your deuture is an important invest
ment. It's important to your health and,
yes, your happiness. Yet so many people
who wear a plate or removable bridge
just refuse to face the fact that il can't
be treated like natural teeth!
You just cannot brush your plate or
bridge with cleansers like toothpaste or
powder (some people even use soap) and
expect to keep yourself free from Dentare
Breath. And, that's one of life's little
tragedies-when you unknowingly offend
the people closest to you.
Another hard fact about dentures is this:
The plate material isn't as hard as it
looks! In fact, with daily brushing you
can wear the fit right off your plate. And,

You and you alone pay the price of
possible pain, expense, and unnecessary
social problems when you clean your false
teeth the wrong Wdy!
So, isn't il time you gave up old-fashioned,
Ineffective misunderstanding Of your
dentures? Do what more dentists recon-
mend-use Polident. the revolutionary

Lovers Of Historic
Lore Can Explore

Persons interested in historic
lore will have an opportunity to do
some exploring in Delaware during
the next several weeks, the Del
aware State Development Depart
ment announced this week.
Old Fort Delaware on Pea Patch
Island, just off shore from Del
aware City about 20 miles south of
Wilmington, on Route 13, will be
available for inspection Saturday
and Sunday, September 29 and 30,
and again during the four week
ends in October, according to a
joint announcement by the State
Park Commission and the Fort Del
aware Society.
Meanwhile plans are also pro-
crossing for Odessa Day, which will
be held in that community, midway
between Wilmington and Dover on
Route 13, Sunday, October IA. Odes-
sa Day is not observed annually,
so the opportunity to visit the fine
old homes in that area is looked
forward to by many history-minded
people.
Fort Delaware is an island of
some 17S acres and contains the
ruins of fort which dates from
1913 when a wooden structure was
| built on the island. 1t served until
1882 when il was destroyed by fire.
In 1S47 the Congress of the United
States passed an appropriation to
construct the largest and most
modern fort in the United States.
Work began in 1848 and it was
completed in 1859 During the War
between the States it served as a
southern prisoners camp.
The fort was in active use during
World Wars / and II, but later was
abandoned and the property re-
yerted to the State of Delaware,
and the Park Commission. With the
aid of the Fort Delaware Society
it is hoped that a Civil War Muse
TIN may be established on the site,
particularly to be i'm readiness for
the centennial observation from
1861 to 1865. The state is a mem
Der of the All-South Congress
which is integrating plans for such
an observance.
Boats will run on regular sched-
ule from 10000 a. m. throughout
Saturday and Sunday this week
end and the four week-ends fol-
lowing A one dollar fee for trans
portatiOn will be the opiy cost in
volved to visitors. Children up to
IA years will be accommodated for
80 cents.
Ait Odessa on Sunday, October IA,
two restored homes will be dis
played for the first time. They are
'Leftovers', owned by H. Rodney
Sharp which stands next to the
old inn in the center of the town
and the William Polk House which
dates from 1886 A total of Is CO.
lonial homes will be on exhibition
from 100 to 500 p. m.
Ceremonies, will begin at II 90
a. m. in Old Drawers Church
which has a great heritage of his
tory for Methodism in the United
States, according to Mrs. Jesse A.
Loven and George F. Kelly, CO.
chairmen for the affair. The first
congregation was formed in 170S,
Among the homes on exhibition
will be the Mailly House, built
about 1770; Lore House, once the
home of Chief Justice Charles b..
Lore; David Wilson House, dating
from 1863; the Pump House, built
in 1922; and others of similar his
toric significance.
Proceeds from Odessa Day will
be used for community improve
mants according to the two officials.
