REASON FOR OPTIMISM

Now that the new car sales figures for
the first quarter are in, optimism for the bus
mess year seems well founded. Government
economists foresee an imminent new boom.
From all indications, 1859 should go into
the records as the most prosperous year the
United States has experienced.
Economic activity during the first quar-
ter was more than satisfactory. The second
quarter should be as good, or better In the
third quarter things will probably come to a
climax in the steel industry. If work stop
page were to occur at that time, business in
general would undoubtedly slacken. Even
so, unless the steel industry is tied up for a
catastrophe length of time, the fourth quar-
ter looks as though it should be a real rec
ord setter
To attempt to forecast for 1860 may ap-
pear to some rash venture. But on the the
ory that business activity is cyclical, as it
seems to be, the economists see next year as
even better. These estimates are based on
the rising trend of consumer purchase and
of planned corporate expansion of plant and
equipment to keep up with this demand.
All this good news may bring about a
heady feeling touched with some disbelief
But it may also provide rational explana
tion for the behavior of the stock market as
share prices continue to climb to new rec
ords.

Prompt Filing OF Wool
Applications Urged

Chairman Silas Dukes of the
Sussex County Agricultural Sta
Utilization and Conservation Com
mittee. today urged wool growers
who marketed their clip between
April l, 1858 and March 81, 1859,
to be prompt in filing applications
for payment under the national
wool program. The deadline for
application is April 30, and the
payment rate will be announced as
soon as possible after that date.
Growers can speed up the payment
program by prompt filing of ap-
plications on April 80, and the
payment rate will be announced as
soon as possible after that date.
Growers can speed up the pay
ment program by prompt filing of
applications, the Chairman pointed
out. He explained that information
contained in the applications is
needed by the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture in computing the
average wool price received by
growers during the 1858 market
ing year. That price must be call
culated before the rate of pay
ment to growers can be determin-
ed.
Under the wool program, pay
ments are made to growers as an
incentive to increase wool pro-
duction. The payment rate is the
percentage necessary to bring the
national average price received by
growers for wool up to So cents a
pound. The percentage method OF
payment encourages a good job OF
marketing, since the grower who
received the highest price for his
wool also received the largest

The assets of National Banks

Trust Companies are exceedingly

National Bank stock, your money
is loaned to hundreds of different
companies or individuals, most of
them the best risks in your city;
but loans are also made to large
national companies. No Mutual

assets as well diversified; further

questionable, he asks that the bank

it will henceforth appear at a

Urge Farmers To Plan
For Grain Storage

A farmer who plans to store
grain under loan on his farm this
summer or fall should be looking
ahead to the need he may have for
additional storage capacity when
his 1859 crops are harvested,
Chairman Silas Dukes of the
Sussex County Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation Com
mittee said today.
The situation indicates that
more storage facilities will be
neede to handle the 1859 harvest.
Additional profits earned by stor-
ing grain and placing it under loan
may be sufficient to cover sub
stantial part of the cost of the new
facilities, Mr.. Dukes pointed out.
I In addition, he said, favorable
financing may be obtained under
the farm storage facility loan pro-
gram which will be available in
1859. Such loans may be obtained
by farmers through the county ASC
Office at Georgetown for as much
as 80 percent of the cost of the
needed facilities. The loans draw
four percent interest and are re-
payable in four annual INSTALL
ments.
Mr.. Dukes emphasized that
more farm grain storage eases the
pressure on commercial and on
goverment-owned storage facilities.
He also points out that much Of
the surplus grain will eventually
be consumed by livestock on farms
in feeding areas.
The following commodities will
be eligible for loan this year pro-
vided they are farm-stored in ad-
equate structures and meet the
qualified requirements: wheat.
barley, oats, rye, soybeans and
corn.

County Office. in Georgetown, for

though there were several indications that Mr..
Eisenhower had his doubts about Herters physical
capacity to shoulder the heavy load which neces-

This is regretable and Herters condition could

In summary, the President is taking calculated
risk in naming Herter, who. nevertheless is quite
probably the best qualified man in the department
to assume the heavy responsibility which he now
undertakes. Every American will wish the new

MAY
May, the third month in the ancient Ro-
man calendar, and now the fifth month, is a
month about which differences exist as to
the origin of the name itself. The most gen.
orally accepted theory is that the name
comes from Maia, the mother of Mercury,
who was supposed to have been the mother
of Hermes by Zeus.
The Romans identified her with an Ital-
ian goddess of Spring, to whom priests made
sacrifices on May 1st and they regarded the
month as unlucky for marriages. This is the
original reason why June was supposed to
be the month for marriages-for many had
avoided marriage in May.
In the United States we remember May
as the month in which VE-Days occurred in
1945. That was on May 9Th. May 10th is
Mothers Day this year, and May Both is
Memorial Day.
Other memorable days in May include
May 1st, 1898, when Dewey scored his MEM
orable victory at Manila, May 7th, 1915,
when the Cunrad liner ''Lusitania" was tor
pedoed and sunk off the coast of Ireland. May
10th, 1869, when the first trans-C Continental
railroad was completed at Promontory
Point, Utah.
May 7th is Ascension Day this year, and
we remember May 18th, 1907, as the date
on which jamestown, Virginia, was settled.
The first Constitutional Convention was
held on May 18th, 1887; two Atlantic flights
are remembered in the month-on May 18th,
1919, the first successful transatlantic
flight was made, and on May 21st, 1927, Lind
bergh made his famous nonstop solo flight
from New York to Paris. Many of us will
remember that on May 9th, 1885, the SUI
preme Court declared the NRA unconstitu-
tional.
Other dates of interest in May include
May 10th, in remembrance of that date in
TITS when Mecklinburg County, North Car
olina, issued its declaration of independence,
renouncing allegiance to Great Britain. On
the 29th, in 1848, Wisconsin became a state.
The oath is Trinity Sunday (the 18th is Pen
tecost-Whitsunday). The 25th and 31st
are remembered as the birthday anniversar-
les of Ralph Waldo Emerson Boston, 18O3)
and Walt Whitman (West Hills, Long Is
