DS.E.A. Favors
Teachers Right
To Hold Office

The fact that a person is a
teacher should not deprive him
of the rights and privileges that
should be exercised by every
good citizen. In our society
teachers who participate fully as
citizens set an example of civic
competence and inspire the
young people whom they teach
to become active citizens" This
statement, adopted by the board
of directors, Delaware State Ed
ucation A ia ion, at its
monthly meeting on last Tues
day evening, placed the board on
record as favoring the right of
a teacher to serve as a member
of the State General Assembly.
David M. Green, president,
presided over the meeting which
was held in the teacher associa-
tion's headquarters building,
Dover.
Other action by the board in
cluded adoption of a resolution
favoring the use of former TV
station WVUE-TV, Wilmington,
as an educational television sta
tion; approval of the theme,

Dog Licenses For
1859 Go On Sale

Dog owners are urged to Ii
cense their pets early in 1859.
For the convenience of persons
in Delaware, outside the city linn
its of Wilmington, most hard
ware and sporting goods stores
and some Justices of Peace are
selling the $l.00 dog licenses.
Owners of dogs north of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
must present a current rabies in
oculation certificate when pur-
chasing the new license. In form
er years there has been some
confusion regarding the length of
time for which the dog was i'm
munized. Check the rabies GER
tificate for the term of immunity
for your animal. All dogs inocu-
lated at clinics in the New Castle
area were given a three-year
serum.

Safety Council
Warns OF Many
Holiday Hazards

BOBBY traps that pile up fast
during the holidays should be
cleared away before they hurt
somebody, it was suggested by
Delaware safety and health Off
cials, as part of their holiday
safety campaign.
The BOBBY traps they referred
to are wrapping paper, boxes,
excelsior, ribbons, and dried out
trees. All of these items, likely
to be around the house during
the holidays, are fire hazards, it
was pointed out by Mrs. William
N. Cam, vice president for home
safety of the Delaware Safety
Council, and DR.. Mark Kenyon,
the State Board of Health's di-
rector of the program for pre-
vention of crippling.
Wrapping paper, boxes, excel
sior and ribbons should all be re-
moved promptly to safe place
outside the house-preferably
the rubbish can. They are all
likely to be highly flammable,
and can easily ruin happy holi-
day season when combined with
only a little carelessness in the
use of matches and cigarettes.
A dried out tree compounds
the fire hazard in the house, the
two safety officials said. 1t is
wise to prevent Christmas trees
from drying out by using a tree
stand with a receptacle kept fill
ed with water.
When the needles start to fall
off, it's time to get rid of the
tree. And when burning the dried
up tree outside, use extreme
caution, the two officials urged.
Be sure the burning is done in
an area that is open above and

WHEN TODAY'S homemaker

sharpen, her eyes take on a spec
ulative CLINT.
And in only seven seconds she
makes up her mind which can of
shortening or which soap flakes to
buy" says Jim Nash. That's de-
cisive thinking for you"
Nash has long admired the trap
like mechanics of feminine logic.
AS president Of the Package De-
signers Council, an organization
of top U. S. and Canadian crafts
men, he has spent a great many
working hours trying to find out
why a woman buys what she does.
His considered opinion: She
doesn't know.
But he thinks he does.
In package women are swayed
by: familiar brand name, appe-
tite appeal, color, whether it can
be served on the table without en-
barrassment (as in the more taste
fully executed beer cans), sug-
gested new uses, serving ideas,
convenience factors and impulse.
Since a package has to do a

a designer start?

burying of your dead and then hang
it aside unthought of unwanted and
unworn. 1t is not-as some would
have it-like the bell in yonder

voiceless and dead and so apart

give any thought to it being there

skin of a mans body which envel-
opes him so completely that he can
not divert himself of it at his own

Sounds Of World

NOEL, Va. = Up - Charles E.
Owen, Jr., can sit in his home here
in the pine woods of Hanover
County and listen TO the worlds
strange sounds and many of its
voices.
Owen is a state highway de-
partment engineer. But he is also
secretary of the Voicepondence
Club whose members in Al states
and some 40 foreign countries cor
respond by tape recordings.
Hence the strange sounds
sounds of night in a South African
jungle; fish humping the diving
helmet of a man walking along a
lake bottom; railroad sounds from
all over the world; western saddle
songs sung by an Irishman born
in Scotland; a drill cutting into
tooth in New York dentists
office.
The offbeat sounds make up only
a small part of the tape CORE
spcndence. Mainly the mail brings
tapes containing chit-chat, serious
discussion, music of all kinds and
occasional skits.
A good many of the 1900 mem
bers of the club are blind or other
wise physically handicapped. Ow-
en- estimates the figure at Is to 20
percent.
Owen and his wife, Melva, are
both electronic sound bluffs and
manage to devote some so hours
a week between them to the club.
They handle membership work
of the club and publish its direc-
tory and magazine, a chatty quar-
terly called the Voicepondent. Ow-
en-, 43, estimates he and his wife
have swapped $500 tapes with
members all over the world.
The club was organized about
10 years ago by company which
manufactured wire recorders to
encourage members to correspond
by recordings. Owen liked the idea
and Joined. The company gradual

ury; it is a daily way of life.
Now. John, you go straight up
stairs and take off that suit and
hang it away in our bedroom
closet"
Thus began Mary as they stepped
into the house upon their return
from church. And she continued :
Remember, this is Sunday and il
is your best suit. With your short
er working hours, and times as
hard as they are now, you must
take good care of it. You want it
to look nice for Sundays and for
special occasions. You know, Cousin
Kate is going to be married next
month our invitation came yes
terday-and you will need to wear
this suit to her wedding And don't
forget, too, that neighbor Perkins
have new baby and have asked
you to be one of the sponsors and
you will want to look real nice
then. And besides, Uncle Abner is
failing awfully fast; l wouldn't be
a bit surprised if we have fun
eral to go to before long. You will
need to wear this suit then. So
hang it away in the closet close the
door so the light and dirt will not
get to it and wear it only on Sun
days and for these special occa-
sions."
Well. my thrifty housewife, have
/ taken these words right out of
your mouth? Have you been talking
to your husband such as Mary did?
If so, / would not censure you for
it. Times now are a bit hard and
clothes are getting to be increas-
ingly expensive and so / grant it to
be an example of commendable
thrift for you to insist that friend
husband take proper care of his
wearing apparel. But what / have
been wondering about is why some
people treat their religion like this,
They want religion of course, and
they would be highly indignant if
you insinuated anything to the con-
trary, but they want it much like
they might want a Sunday suit of
clothes. They want it for Sundays.
Each Lords Day you find them in
their accustomed places in Gods
house. That's fine-mighty fine! 1t
