Set
For Nov. 2Ist
All Day. Session Of Farm
Group Will Start At 10
A. vi. eliminating In
The Banquet.

James H. Baxter, Jr., of George
town, State President, stated that
Senator Aiken is considered one of
the Country's outstanding legisla-
tors in the field of Agriculture and
is exceptionally well qualified to
speak on the subject of Agricul-
ture having worked on agricul-
tural programs in the United
States Senate since 1941.
Senator Aiken, a nurseryman by
profession has been a leading
spokesman for agriculture during
his IL years in the Senate. AS
chairman of a special long-range
farm program subcommittee of
the Senate Committee on Agricul-
ture and Forestry, he was the
principal Congressional architect
of the variable price support pro-
visions of the Agricultural Act of
s1948. The long-rahge provisions of
this legislation were not permitted
to go into effect, however, as the
Act was amended from year-to-
year to continue the wartime, fix
ed price support program.

alize.
The Physical Education Depart
ment stresses the need for a we'll

Two Day Shotgun Season
Largest Since 1854; No
Serious Injuries Re-
ported.

Between 1000 and 5000 Della
ware hunters took to the woods
and fields last Friday and Satur-
day to bag 361 deer without serious
human injury.
The two-day shotgun season was
Delaware's most successful since
154, when hunters chalked up sos
kills in the first legal season in 103
years.
The bag was 275 last year, $50
in 1856.
The estimate on the number of
hunters came from Norman G.
Wilder, acting director of the
State Game and Fish Commission
The deer count came from commits
sion weighing stations at four state
police locations. Two hundred deer
were checked in last Friday; 161
last Saturday.
Mr.. Wilder said the number of
deer shot and the size of some kills
indicate herd improvement in both
quantity and quality.
The bag by counties was: New
Castle, 101; Kent, 154, and Sussex,
1O6. Six deer were shot during the
bow and arrow season last month.
Two women were among the sue
cessful hunters. Mrs. James War
rem, of Smyrna, whose husband al
so made a kill, was one. The other
was a Taylor's Bridge resident.
Deer hunting was not permitted
this year on Bombay Hook National

Delaware's first death reported
to be directly connected with Asian
influenza has been announced by

pected to stem from flu complica-
tions, but does not yet know wheth-
er the virus in question was Asian
Airman BIC Roy E. Bucket, 21,
of Hopedale, o., died Tuesday of
bronchial pneumonia which de-
veloped after he was stricken with
Asian flu, the Air Base reported.
An autopsy performed at the
Kent General Hospital confirmed
that Bucket had Asian flu, a spokes-
man for the Air Force said. Buck
ell, who was single, is survived by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
j. Bucket of Hopedale.
DR.. Maynard Mires, an assistant
to DR.. Floyd T. Hudson, secretary
of the state board of health, ex-
pressed amazement that the Air
Force was able to detect Asian flu
so quickly.
Usually you have to compare
two blood samples, an acute and
convalescent, and then wait for
weeks until the virus is pinned
down." he said.
I'VE are just taking the Air
Forces word for it that the boy

after, the l.. ID. Caulk Company

The plan was successful and out

later took up the idea and it, too,
was a success, and secured many
depositors therefrom. A few years
