And for those who business, job
or profession is outside the imme-
diate confines of the industry it
self, the true significance of what
broilers mean to the economic life
blood of the Shore is all too often
missed. Bank clearings and bank
deposits tell little of how fast and
how far the dollars travel which
get their start in this most basic
industry of all.
Biggest payroll on the Peninsula,
the broiler industry starts the dol
lars circulating with the $75-mil-
lion year it pays in wages and
salaries. To this must be added
the $80-million or more which goes
out for such items as feed, sup
plies and other materials.
All told, no less than 10000 peo-
pie work directly for the Delmarva
poultry industry. A quarter or more
are on farms. The rest are in its
rs feed mills, its 30 hatcheries, its
score or more of poultry process
ing plants, and in dozens of supply

Giant In Our Midst.
The Poultry Industry.
Still Expanding Program OF Hatching, Feed
ing, Marketing; Accounts For Almost Half
Of The Peninsula Farm Income; 10000
People Work Directly For The Industry

Bankers on the Shore, automo-
bile dealers, and the men on Main
Street who run the clothing store,
the hardware store and the grocery
store, all could be pardoned if
they breathed a sigh of relief a
few days ago when the price of
broilers turned up again.
To many of them, although per-
haps not too clearly, it meant
that the giant in their midst had
shown it could recover from the
low prices of the past few months
just as it had bounced back from
similar blows before.
Accounting for almost half the
Shores farm income as it does,
the full influence of the broiler
industry on Delmarva's prosperity
is nevertheless overlooked some
times. Even those whose wages,
salaries and profits stem directly
from the 150-milliOn birds a year
which go to market in New York,
Philadelphia and score of other
cities take it too much for granted
on occasion.

Motor Vehicle Depart
ment States That Many
Due In Lanes By March
31st.

More than $4,000 motor vehicles
with registrations expiring on
March 31st remain to be inspected
at the Motor Vehicle Department
inspection lanes this month, it has
been revealed by the Motor We
hicle Department.
The records of the Department
disclose that a total of 3,699 mo-
tor vehicle registrations expire on
March 31st and these registrations
cannot be renewed until after the
car has been inspected.
At the beginning of last week
the records showed that a total of
$3.50 of these motor vehicles had
visited the inspection lanes during
January and February, and allow
ing for some inspections during
the week, it is estimated that
around $4,000 remain to be inspect
ed.
Accordingly officials of the Mo-
tor Vehicle Department are antici-
pating tremendous rush at the
various inspection lanes during the
final week of this month.
The last day of this month being
a Sunday, when the inspection
lanes will be closed, and the fact
that the inspection lanes will be
open only until noon on the previ-
Gus Saturday, will not aid matters
much during that week. The in
spection lanes will also be open on
Saturday, March 23rd until noon.
