Mrs. George. Ehinger, Dover high
school teacher, church woman and
well known civic worker has been
named Delaware's Mother of the
Year for 1858.
The selection of Mrs Ehinger,
wife of the superintendent of the
Elizabeth w. Murphey School in
Dover and a representative in, the
General Assembly was announced
by Mrs. William N. Cam, chair
man of the American Mother 8
Committee n Delaware.
Letters ST rrporting the nomina.
ton of the award winner came
from her pastor. the Rev. Robert
L. McKim, Presbyterian Church
of Dover; from Dr. David M.
Green, superintendent of the Dover
Special School District and from
Governor j. Caleb Boggs.
Mr.. Ehinger was born Aline Nor
en- in Humboldt, Kansas, but later
migrated to Oregon. She is a grad
uate of the School of Social Service
IN her native state and from the
University of Oregon. She is the
mother of four sons, all of whom
are embarked on successful careers
in various sections of the country
according to Mrs. Cam.
The Delaware Mother of the
Year is known all over the state
for her work with many charitable
organizations, and particularly for
her activity with the American
Legion Auxiliary She has held
many state and national offices
within that organization.
I'VE are delighted to name Mrs.
Ehinger this year, for we believe
that recognition of her sincere COM
munity and social work, along with
a second career in teaching which
started during the shortage of
teachers during World War II, is
long overdue, Mrs Cam declar-
ed Mrs. Ehinger taught five years
before her marriage.
In his letter to the committee
Rev. McKim attested to the fine
family Mrs. Ehinger raised, and
while he said he knew her sons
only casually, they reflect the
sound training and wise counsel
they had enjoyed at home. That
the breadth of her concern en-
braces every mothers son is evi-
denced by her work with the USO
in Dover, which she organized,
and mothers throughout the nation
must feel relieved to know that
such a person is interested in their
sons while they are = far from
home"
DR.. Green attested to Mrs. Ehin-
gers work as school teacher
and mother. He told of her ac-
complishments as high school Eng
ish teacher and sponsor of school
activities.
"She has also assisted and sup
ported her husband so he might
make valuable contributions to his
community, state and nation, DR..
Green continued.
In his letter supporting the non1i-
nation, Governor ]. Caleb Boggs
said. that Mrs. Ehinger has been
active for many years in civic and
charitable organizations. Her sup
port on behalf of Girl Scouts has

They're used In over 800 use

In the tidewater area Of
Virginia, in Georgia. North
Carolina, Florida. Alabama,
Texas, Oklahoma, and New
Mexico the peanut industry
is big business. The total an

About a year ago in the
Sunday Stars comic page
feature, 1.-THE Romance Of
Flowers" Eugene T. Du Pont
listed some of the uses for
this legume we call a nut.
It was George Washington

who showed the South how
valuable peanuts could be.
DR.. Carver found peanuts al
most equaled sirloin for pro-
TENS and potatoes for carbo-
hydrates, was second only to
butter in fat. He created a
dinner Of peanuts made into
soup, mock chicken, creamed
as a vegetable, bread, candy,
cookies, ice cream and coffee.
From peanuts, he also made
