existing conditions in Delaware.
Instead they want to build up pub

Of the traffic courts and to find
ways of improving those courts.
One of the activities of the group
will be to urge interested people
to visit the traffic courts, using the
slogan: Go to court as visitor
not a violator." This part Of the
program is expected to be COM

Scout Elm Trees Now To Detect
Dutch Elm Disease Infection
July is the time to scout for
Dutch Elm Diseases. Some COM
munities hire experts to search out
elms that become suspects of hav-
ing the disease. Home owners can
act as their own scouts.
This is what to look for, accord
ing to Don Cantwell, District EHiian-
ager of the Bartlett Tree Expert
Co. Whiting of leaves (this may
start on an individual branch or
two, or one side of the tree). Twigs
that are malformed in the shape OF
shepherds crook. Dieback of
branches or limbs.
Experts can rather quickly es-
tablish whether Dutch Elm Disease
is present by looking for a brown
streak in the sapwood of a severed
branch or by cultures of twig sam
pies.
Dutch Elm Disease symptoms
show up this time of year, especial
ly during hot dry weather AS the
fungus grows it slogs the tiny in
ner pipelines of tree. This, with
toxins produced by the fungus,
results in the characteristic wilt
ing.
Elms of value can be saved by
prompt treatment if the infection
is not too far spread. Pruning out
a wilted limb well below the point
of infection may halt the progress
of the disease. Removal of all
dead and diseased branches is i'm
perative.
Therapy treatment is being used
with increasing success, both as a
preventive and on elms in which
disease has not progressed too far.

roots or into the trunk-tC antidote

Any treatment of this type
should be accomplished by feeding

It has been found that elms in
good health are less apt to be at
tackled by elm bark beetles, which
carry Dutch Elm Disease, and less
likely to get the infection. The age
of a tree is no factor Both young
and old elms, when weakened by
any cause, may be targets of the
disease.

Information On
Social Security

Mollie Rogers, widow, received
unexpected good news last week.
She learned that change in the
Social Security law provides for
monthly benefit payments under
certain conditions to a disabled
child after age Is, if the child be-
came totally disabled before that
age. Also, she was surprised to
learn that the mother of such a
child may receive monthly pay
ments as long as she continues TO
have the disabled child in her
care.
Mrs. Rogers husband had work
ed long enough under Social Sc
curly to be insured at the time
of his death, making his widow
and their minor child eligible for
benefit payments. However, pay
ments on behalf of her child and
herself stopped under the old law
when the child attained age 18.
AT that time she was informed
that further payments would not
be made on the account of her de-
ceased husband until she reached
age So.
With the family income cut off,
Mrs. Rogers was faced with the
dual role of trying to be the fam
| lily breadwinner and caring for a
mentally retarded child who new
er could @grow up or become in
dependent. Now, with Social Sc
curity payments restored, Mrs.
Rogers can spend more time at
home and provide better care for
her disabled child.
The payments to Mrs. Rogers
began with the month of January,
1857. Before they became pay
able, she had to make application,
prove her child's disability and
establish that her child was de-
pendent upon her insured hus-
band at the time Of his death.

Higher Cost OF ]
Living, Report

1t is but natural for the Depart
ment of Agriculture Marketing
experts to blame the wives for
part of the higher cost of gro
ceries; they can't blame the
farmers.
In the past 10 years, the prices
the housewife pays have gone up
Is per cent, while the prices the
farmer receives have gone down
IA per cent. It's not in filling our
needs but in satisfying our de-
sires that raises the cost of living.
Someone has figured that the av-
erage consumer today has 484
wants, as against u a century
ago.
There were only 200 articles
being made then, Is of which
were necessities; today there are
$4,000 articles only "a of which
are classified as essentials. You
can't blame wives for the higher
cost of living. Blame ingenuity
and irresistible advertising.

It Happened In Michigan

Six years ago, the Twin City
Container Corporation of Coloma,
Mich. asked the placement bureau
of Western Michigan University at
Kalamazoo to send along one of
its brightest accounting gradu-
ates.
When handsome, athletic and
olive-skinned Robert J S. Harper
arrived, the company's president,
Mansfield F. Richie, was a bit
worried, but, influenced by the
schools strong recommendations,
he hired Harper as an accountant.
A few days later friends point
ed out to Richie that Harper was
a Negro. so what?" beloved the
outspoken executive. s'He can do
the work-and well"
And Richie was right. In just
six years Harper has climbed
from a S2O0-a-month accountant
job to vice president of the cor
poration. And the company has
grown from $500,00O-a-yeaT
gross and IS employees, to an over
100000 gross and 200 workers.
What about the 200 white en-
ployees of the company? Do they
resent taking orders from a Ne
gro? eyes, there is some animos-
ity," roared Richie with a twin
kle to Detroit News reporter.
"A lot of us here think Harper is
too darn good at poker" ;
Harper regrets that his promo
ton is considered news" 'sIf /
were a white man, my position
would not attract any attention.
So many of our talented people
are fearful of taking. a college
course that will throw them into
the business world with whites"
When the opportunity at Twin
City came, Harper explained, Il
was dubious, but decided to take
chance. And am I glada that ]
did! This fear of prejudice against
us too often is "a myth"
