A yOungster learns by doing. A
young boy or girl who can spend
summer i'm a new community
comes to understand problems
vividly because he lives them-an
entirely different experience than
just reading or talking about them.
He knows because he feels what
racial discrimination may mean,
what the refugee faces, what it
means to live in rural isOlations or
in city slum. In the small inti-
mate intense fellowship of the
group the young person is accept
ed for what he is, pretense and
barriers fall away. In accepting
himself the yOungster learns to ac-
cept others of different background.
different race, different opinions.
Young people serve on these
community projects for many rea-
sons, to meet new friends, to visit
new places, to find a meaning for
life. Because of the many purposes
which bring these people together,
each often finds his own objective
sharpened and gains insight into
how he wishes to spend his life.
The community projects or which
young people may work have al
most endless variety. For some the
youngster pays his own way: costs
however are always at minimum.
For others he is paid for his work
and may even end the summer
with small balance in his pocket
Even for those where the youngster
is expected to contribute financial
ly there are usually scholarships
available.

Against Fires

Governor j. Caleb Boggs has is
sued an emergency proclamation
decreeing that it will be unlawful
to set a fire or kindle a campfire
in any Delaware marsh or woods
due to the extremely dry conditions
caused by the present drouth.
The decree is effective at noon
Wednesday, July "a and will re-
main until another proclamation is
issued declaring that the period of
emergency has ended.
Governor Eoggs made excep-
tions for the beach areas of Della
ware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean
where fires may be built under
proper supervision.
The action came after the chief
executive received a report of the
extreme fire hazard which exists
because of the lack of rainfall from
State Forester William S. Taber
Many areas are described as dry
as tinder" and a carelessly handled
flame could cause great damage 20
life and property damage if it were
to go out of control. II
Citing Section ,Zlll, Title ~ OF
the Delaware Code which vests
special powers to the Governor for
emergency conditions, the action
was taken Governor Boggs de-
clafed to protect lives and prop
erty' I'M the state.
Acting Fire Marshal William r.
Favinger has also been issuing
warning concerning the cry spell,
declaring that this period has
caused one of the most serious
fire threats in recent years. Ac-
cording to statisticians the last
soaking rain fell in the state on
June 16.

clamation follows:
