DEAR ABBY: I've been fol-
lowing your column and
would like to say that the
pros and cons Of the Red
Cross have interested me tre-
mendously. Some say the Red
Cross has never been known
TO give anything away and
others say it Is a great service
organization.
! would like to state that I.
for one. have tried to collect
money for the Red Cross and
when I ask q veteran for any
thing he says. I'D give for
the Salvation Army, or
Knights Of Columbus. but not
to the Red Cross"
Maybe this is unfair, but
half a million servicemen
can't be wrong. If the Red
Cross Is so great, why nave
they such a poor reputation
among the men in uniform?
LIKE TO KNOW,
/ also would like 10 know.
OF the thousands tyes, thou
sands!) Of letters / have re-
ceived concerning this Red
Cross controversy, I must ad-
init that nine out Of ten were
not on the side Of the Red
Cross. II 80 per cent Of my

ing talk in q male. At the
moment Randy's talk may
sound terribly revolutionary
and exciting, but Nora should
be made to realize that Il is
as old as the hills as well as
foolish and boring.
II Mr.. and Mrs. r. H.
showed less shock and more
disinterest In Randy's talk,
Nora would be less fascinated
by 1t. The fact that 1t gets 9
big rise out Of her parents
indicates to her that what he
is saying Is meaningful and
impressive.
The r. HIS should be sure
Nora herself has q good un-
derstanding Of the reasons
for sexual morality from
every point Of view. At her
age she also should have full
information on sex-so she
won't be tempted by mere
curiosity.
There is much good litera-
ture on the subject available
today and Nora should be
encouraged to read some of
the material written by cler-
gymen, sociologists and doc
tors.
Armed with knowledge and
a background of happiness
and love in her home, Nora
soon should begin to find
Randy's talk quite childish.

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
Sex Is Not A Dirty Word

There is a Protestant min
lister. in the northwest who
has been punished for ex-
planning sex to his teen-
ayers. The punishment con-
sisted of public humiliation,
an apology to a board of
education and a promise not
to mention the word to stu
dents again. I'm with the
minister. Sex is a source of
trouble only to those who do
not understand it.
Sex was invented by God,
not by man. Therefore it is
not evil; it is good. Sex was
sanctifled as an act of COM
munion in marriage. The use
Of sex at any other time was
condemned in the Old Tes-
lament and the New because,
then and now, it was re-
garded as a hottomless pool
in which only the strongest
swimmers survive.
My wife was opposed to
any discussion Of sex with
the children, We had two
girls. She was somewhat en-
barrassed if I fingered for
more than q peck on the
cheek in their presence. She,
like many other mothers,
had feelings of guilt about
sex.
STILL, 1 INSISTED that
We tell the girls something
d little bit at a time--so that
the full knowledge of pro-
creation would not come as
q shock from the gutter. I
broke the ice. I told Ginny
that she grew in her moth
er's heart and that, when
God thought she was strong
enough to do her own
breathing and eating. He
permitted her to be born.
Eleanor thought that this
story was kind of cute. !"
Then I found a book called
~Growing Up" It was all
about whales and elephants
and ants and worms and
horses having babies; how
long it required for the little
ones to be born, how they
were born, and so forth. A
woman bookstore clerk as
sured me that q child will
get cut Of this book only as
much as he or she is ready
Evening star., 1958-07-14

to absorb--rio more. She was
right.
THE MORE my little ones
learned about sex, the more
they appreciated their
mother. 1t brought the three
of them closer together in
understanding, in kinship.
Virginia Lee was IA when
she came IN from the back
yard with q worm on a stick.
Elinor was washing break
fast dishes.
Nom, take a look" Ginny
said. "A pregnant worm"
"A what what?" her mother
said. almost jumping into
the sink.
Il learned it in biology
class. See that yellow sac
on the worm? It's a baby.
In time, it viii move from
one end Of the worm to the
other. When it falls of,
that's a baby worm"
This is your fathers
fault" Elinor said. "CSet that
thing out of here"
"Okay, Nom. Still, it's in
teresting to know that all
worms are bisexusl. When
they meet each other under
ground, they don't have to
ask which is male and which
is female. All Of them can
have babies"
Take the worm out, and
you get out too"
- +
GINNY is now married and
is about to have her first
baby. She feels healthy and
happy. If it is always like
this" she said to me, Il want
to have six in a row." She
thinks happy thoughts.
Ginny has contributed to
Gayle's sex education, a step
at q time. until now the
younger girl understands
what God and her church ex-
pect Of her in these matters,
I have never spent a moment
in worry over either of these
girls, and ! won't. They know.
One Of the most important
things they had to learn was
that the male often confuses
sex and love. He was given q
built-in sex drive so that he
would pursue the female. If
he didn't have this-if he
was passive-there would be
NO urge to marry. Con-
versely, the female has q
built-in drive to adorn her
self so that she will attract
the male. If she doesn't at
tract---the male has NO urge
to marry her.
-
THE MINISTER, as / un-
derstand the case, was teach
ing far less to his students
than I am telling in this
space. To my way Of think
ing, this holy man deserves
accolades. not censure. He is
trying to lift the veil Of mys-
terry from . subject that be-
comes evil only when it is
suppressed.
l Wouio Ike TO meet the
ladies and gentlemen who
form the board Of education
that degraded him. I would
like to stare down into their
heady eyes and ask one ques-
ton:
IF it wasn't for sex, where
would you be right now?'

change for 1910 shares of its own
stock. Prior to converting to a
national bank in 1865, The Ma
tional Bank of Delaware at Will

though it became a commercial
bank in 1909, it was eight years

PERSONNEL UNCHANGED

On Friday evening, April IL,
1858, Equitable Security Trust
Company officially began OPP
Grating under the name Bank of
Delaware. ESTE is successor to
the business of Bank of Delaware,
organized on June 1, 1895. When
Equitable Trust Company and Sc
curity Trust Company merged in
1852, each bank had established
a long record of banking service
in Delaware. Security Trust Com
pany, the first trust company in
Delaware, was founded as Secur-
ity Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany in 1885. It's name was
changed to Security Trust Com
pany in 1927. In 1880, Security
