to cover operating expenses and
obligations, rather than earnings
on an investment such as is the
usual source of dividend payments.
Services given by Interstate to
its members, which are financed
from the1e dues, cover a wide va
riety of milk marketing activities
and quality control work, includ-
ing a market guarantee program
whereby members are protected
from loss of market and from
failure to receive payment for milk
marketed for them by the Coopera-
tive. More than $500 was paid out
uader these guarantees during the
past year, Jamison reported.
The refund currently being made
by Interstate to its members dis
tributes the unused dues paid by
them during the fiscal year ending
August 81, 1949 Operating on a
seven-year revolving capital basis,
the savings of the intervening
years provide operating capital and
a reserve fund for the market guar
antees extended to each member

feasible, it is then permissible for
the landowners to form a tax ditch
company to construct a system of

maintenance. The new law also
provides that the state and county
share in the construction costs,
since the benefits tend to improve

p The meeting on the 18th will be
concerned with the preparation of
a petition for drainage if the dis
cussions show that there is enough
general interest. Facts concerning
the proposed drainage area, type
OF construction, and answers to
specific questions will be given.
The Cattail Tax Ditch, west of
Harrington, has been substantially
Completed under the new law. The
Greenbranch Tax Ditch Company,
also west of Harrington, is now
under construction. An older tax
ditch, known as the Culberth
Marsh, has been operating for
many years under the original laws.
About fourteen groups in the coun-
iy are in various stages of plan

Drainage is after all, the most
pressing conservation problem in

Improvement Of Dirt
Roads Speeded Up

AS a resalt of the activities on
the part of these engineers, the
projects are moving at a more
rapid pace and the cost is likewise
being reduced on each project.
When a series of dirt roads are
selected for Improvements, these
staff engineers will assemble at a
given place and ride the roads,
make notations concerning condi-
tions, observe what has to be done,
determine where the centerline
should be and from these observa-
tions come the plans for the i'm
proVement.
Wherever practical local earth
is used for stabilization purposes
while drainage is provided fo'
through the grading and reshaping
of the road, all of which has serv-
ed to reduce the cost of the opera
lions and provide more road i'm
provements with the funds avail
able.
Localized interest and knowledge
of road usage and needs forms the
basic background for the selection
of the dirt roads for Improvement
Mr.. Haber explained.
Following the directive of the
dirt road improvement law, which
requires roads to be selected for
Improvement on the basis of traf-
fic count, the Department has pre-
pared a map of the dirt roads in
each Representative District.
Next, Committee of ten repre-
sentative citizens in the district
we're named, five Democrats and
five Republicans. to advise the De-
partment concerning the roads
most needing improvements. This
committee selects roads from the
viewpoint of use by rural mail
routes, school buses, and farm
needs.
Through the cooperation of these
committees the Department is CIV
en- the local picture on the use of
the roads, as we'll as where the
improvement will do the most good
for the estimated daily require
ments for travel over the roads.
1t is interesting to note that the
Department has had almost COM
plete cooperation from the local
residents in assisting in this plan
of getting the dirt road improve
ment to places where it is needed
most and will do the most good,
Mr.. Haber commented.

Delaware Begins Preseason
Football Practice

FOOtDaI Practlce
The approach of fall became Of
fetal last Friday when 43 Univer-
sity of Delaware football players
reported to the Newark campus for
the beginning of preseason grid
iron drills.
Under the direction of head
coach Dave Nelson and his staff,
the Delaware gridders face sched-
ule of two practices each day for
the next two weeks, with one af-
ternoon session planned following
the opening of classes.
Two members were missing
from the anticipated squad roster
of 45-ends Carmen Celia and
Dave Colcombe. Both of these sem
iors are currently training at the
U. S. Marine Corp base at Guam
tico, Va, and will join the Della
ware team on September 10.
The two-a-day drills are timed
to avoid the midday heat Nelson's
varsity aspirants met Friday NOR
ming at 7:45 o'clock for board
work." session with the head
coach at the blackboard where
plans for the practice and specific
formations were outlined. At 800
a. m. the Hen gridders moved to
Frazer Field for Is minutes of cal
isthenics.
Following this was nearly two
hours of group work. and team
work. "In these opening drills /

mentals such as blocking and tack

offensive series as the practice ses-
sions progressed.
AT midafternoon another half
hour of lecture was in store for the
Delaware team. The practice be-
gan at 1870 p. M, when the players
spent over two hours drilling as
integral parts of Nelson's wing-T
offense.
Coach Nelson expressed concern
over the delayed start that Celia
will get because of his military
training. Without the services of
the slender Linwood, Pa, tanker,
Nelson will have available only
two lettermen in that position, jun
Tor Ben KliEgler of Hershey, Pa,
and Larry Dalton of Media, Pa.
Cella lettered in both his sopho-

starting in only a couple games.
The Delaware coach also point

Drill sessions will drop off to one

and the scheduled scrimmage with

must prepare to accept even great
er numbers of Delaware students
in the future as they find it more
difficult to enroll elsewhere"
Educationally speaking, Della
ware is a debtor state, for more of
her college-age young people mi
CRATE to out-of-state institutions
than are educated within her bord-
ers. The same condition exsists in
nearby New York where DR.. Will
liam S. Carlson, president of the
University of the State of New York
and a former president of the Uni
versity of Delaware, recently re-
ported that admissions pressures
had become so great that even
qualified in-state residents we're
being turned away.
Fortunately for Delaware, the
long range planning of the univer-
sity's board of trustees, properly
implemented by the State, will pre-
vent such a problem. University
officials must reckon with three
major causes of expanding enroll
ment in the coming years: Q)
Delaware's birth rate is increasing
rapidly; (2) greater numbers OF
young people are attending col
lege; (3) and, finally, more and
more of these students, partly from
choice and partly because of en-
rollment problems in other states,
will attend their own sthte univer-
sity. The University of Delaware
wishes to serve all these qualified
students and at the same time edu-
cate parents to the fact that not all
young people are academically fit
ted to enroll in a college or uni
versity.

event for over a year in order
tU devise something entirely
in the hunting tradition"

W. must face the eventual
liquidation of the white mans
position all over the world"
Ambassador Henrik de Kauff-
mann of Denmark said in a
lecture yesterday sponsored by
Chapter III of the Colonial
Danes of America.
Il hope this can happen
slowly, nationally and without
too much destruction" con-
tinued the Ambassador.
He said he was not sure this
was the best solution for the
colonial peoples of the world.
Citing the example Of North
Africa he said he thought per-
haps they would be worse off
in few years than they had
been under French rule.
The Ambassadors speech on
Peace in the World Today"
was part of a benefit program
held at Anderson House for
the Colonial Danes Scholar
ship Fund.
Ambassador de Kaufman
felt the countries of the world
could ensure more lasting
peace by making boundaries
less important, by more liberal
trade and freer migration and
by following the same pSy-
Geological principles in inter-
national relations as are used
in personal relations.
Western civilization has
made its impact on all parts of
the world and in its wake has
created difficulties in Asian
and African countries. They
see us and are dissatisfied with
their own lot, said the envoy.
He urged that nations be
more careful in the language
they use and in their promises.
I'VE have built up high
hopes" he said. More should
be done to enlighten peoples
and nations on the limitations
to what they can do
