any race or creed. Each child ac-
cepted into the Bureaus care is
placed in a temporary boarding
foster home with a substitute fam
lily until he can return to his own
family or be placed with adopting
parents. Every child thus receives
the love and protection he needs
even while separated from his fam
lily. Parents may use the agency
for help in planning care of their
children during periods of crisis
brought on by illness, desertion,
separation or death. Through Bur
eau services, parents are assured
of adequate care Cor their children
during the emergency, while also
receiving help in re-establishing
their home. An unmarried mother
is offered counseling services for
herself and placement services for
her baby until some decision on
the child's future is made. Fami-
lies unable to have their own chill
dren may apply to the Bureau to
adopt child. Each child available
for adoption has been studied so
that his particular needs will be
met by the new parents carefully
selected for him from among the
families approved for adoption.
A Board of Directors from all
three counties of the State assumes
responsibility for deciding the poll
cies of the agency in relation to
the needs of the community. The
Board delegates to the staff of
trained caseworkers, doctors, nur-
ses and a psychologist the job of
providing the service best suited
to each individual family and child.
General chairmen for the drives
in both Kent and Sussex Counties
is Mrs. James NJ. Tunnel, Jr., of
Georgetown, a member of the
Board Of Directors of the Bureau.
Co-chairmen for Sussex County
this year are Mrs. Joseph S. Mach
of Seaford and Mrs. Otis H. Smith
of Lewes.
Mrs. Comegys and Mrs. Snyder

campaign is conducted mainly by
mail, contributions from any resi-

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

"Bojangles" Bill Robinson and
Fiorelio The Little Flower La
Guardia make rather an unlikely,
though colorful, brace of names
to associate with the evolution
of a popular slang term. Still,
these are the names that come
to mind as I read this letter from
Mrs. Rex Yankee Of Milwaukee.
During the past few months"
she writes, "a word which have
never seen in print has kept pop
ping UP in the most unexpected
places. 1t sounds as though it
could be spelled 'copacetic' and
seems to be used where no other
word is effective. My daughter
heard it used by one of her nurs-
ing school instructors, who in
turn said she had heard it used
in speech given by a professor
at Yale. Would you have any
way of tracing it?"
The scene was Yankee Sta
dunn. the year about 1896 and
the occasion a Police Athletic
League benefit show. Bill Robin
son was one of the many show
business stars and athletes who
were contributing their talents.
At the conclusion of a particu-
Ilarly exciting l00-yard dash. he
suddenly and good-humoredly
challenged Mayor La Guardia to
"a 50-yard foot race-backwards.
Photographers began to I'M

cried La Guardia when the race
was over.
Wonderful" replied Robin

The first week Of this session
was as usual, nothing much was

ZION. Much time was taken up
for the Governors Inauguration,
which lasted the better part of
two days.
The second week started off
with n bang, following Governor
Hodges address before a joint
meeting of the Assembly on Nor
day night. The address was made
simultaneously with the release
of the Budget and Revenue bills,
recommended by the Governor
md the Advisory Budget Com
mission. Everything else in the
address and in the Bills has
been overshadowed by the recon-
mendations of o. per cent in
crease in Teachers Pay and 8
per cent increase in the pay of
other State employees. The re-
action to these proposals from
all quarters, including n great
majority of the members Of the
General Assembly, is that this
amount of increase is not in line
with the increased cost of living
and is entirely inadequate IL we
are to remain competitive with
Industry and with other States
In the field of employment. My
feeling is that We must revise
the budget bill and possibly the
Revenue bill, to the point that
more money can be provided for
these services. In the field of
Teaching in the Public Schools
We are dealing with approx
