Editor, The Journal:
l read with a good deal of in
terest and with deep apprecia-
ton the editorial on the Cost of
Initiation" and commend you for
such a Fortnight presentation
on a subject which concerns all
of us-especially the million of
old people in our country, living
On a modest fixed income--an
old age pension or social security.
This vast segment, the popula-
ton after the strictest kind of
economy are having n difficult
time to make ends meet because
initiation is reducing the pur-
chasing power of their dollar,
and causing erosion and debase-
ment of their small income.
Initiation unregulatcd uncon-
trolled ultimately become an
enemy which can destroy our
whole economy. We become
tremendously worked up over
the menace to Communism; yet
with the enemy of initiation I'VE
blithely 60 on our way apathetic,
and unconcerned.
We should resist the ;nroads
Of a creeping initiation as we do
that of the sly, yet vegenful
penetration of communism.
l agree fully with you that eff
the value of the dollar does not
become stabilized, it is feared,
the desire of people tc save, will
be undermined, endangering the
major source of thrift and invest
ment funds upon which the
country's future growth and pro-
gress are dependent" Aptly put
and no-overstatement at all.
What shall we do about this?
Is there nothing to do but sit
idly by-While the process OF
debasement of purchasing power

year out, his entire lifetime,

being slowly poisoned. The
stuff is tasteless and odorless,
without any warning whatever
to the person drinking it.
Not enough of the effects and
symptoms Of fluoride poisoning
is known to enable the aver
age doctor to detect the pro-
cess. Even the American Medi-
cal Association, enormously
quoted as actually approving
fluoridation of public water
supplies, has admitted that
not enOught is positively
known to say just what are the
effects Of fluoride ingestion on
adults, especially on older
people.
Thousands of doctors and
dentists have openly condemn
ed the practice of using sodium
fluoride in public water sup
plies. Other thousands would
probably do so if they dared
arouse the wrath or lose the
support of the professional
association managers. There is
serious doubt not only as tc
the safety but also as to the
morality of wholesale medica'
ton with sodium fluoride, one

has been quoted as saying that
the victim would have to eat
$4,000 pounds of berries a day
for years to suffer any harm.
1t is incredible that any
citizen would eat even a very
small portion of that mountain

you and me, are said to be
spent in promoting artificial
fluoridation of public water
supplies.
Ironically enough, it has
been demonstrated by repeat
ed experiments that sodium

cancer in rats.

Team Work Pays Off

The st. Lawrence Seaway
seems to be doing very we'll,
thank you! This joint enterprise
of the Dominion of Canada and
the U. S. A. already has indicated
that the huge cost involved in
its building, will turn out to be
sound investment.
In the current navigation sea-
son up to September 80, some
l4,2O0,00O tons Of cargo were
carried through the st. Law
renee Seaway (from Montreal to
Lake Ontario). This represents
an increase of 81 percent over the
tonnage that passed through the
old st. Lawrence canals for the
same period of 1858.
For the month of September
cargo carried through the Sea-
way between Montreal and Lake
Ontario amounted to 100000
tons, 81 percent about September
1858. ...
| AS readers will recall, the
| United States procrastinated
about participating in this huge
| venture. 1t was not until Canada
pulled Uncle Sans whiskers a bit
by threatening to go it alone that
the U.S.A. finally decided to join
hands. The success of the Seaway
SO far must be most reassuring
to formerly reluctant Uncle
Sam. In turn, the Canadian auth
critics are to be commended on
their dogged determination and
persistence in getting the Sea
way under construction.
Once again it has been demon
strated that two peaceful neigh
bors by combining their efforts
can accomplish much for the
benefit of the citizens of both.

Now is the time to decide when
to pay your charitable contribu-
tions.
Contributions, to be deductible
for 1859, must have been paid
in 1859. It is not enough to have
pledged to contribute at a later
date. Payment must have been
made in 1859. .,.
Your charitable contributions
are deductible up to 30@o of your
adjusted gross income, provided
that at least 1919 is to churches,
educational institutions or tax
exempt hospitals. Otherwise your
contributions are deductible up
to 20% of your adjusted gross
income.
Payments in money or prop
erty are equally deductible. If a
contribution was made in prop
erty, the amount of the deduc-
ton is the fair market value OF
the property at the time the con-
tribution was made. This has
interesting possibilities.
Assume that you purchased
piece of real estate for $4,000 ir
1910 and that you made con.
tribution of this piece of cea
estate in 1859 and its fair mar
ket value at the time Of the con
tribution was $4,000. You re

Commissioner Tells
OF Rates Revision
continued from page one)

continued from page one)
Collision premiums on Commercial
automobiles operating within a
50-mile radius are being reduced
approximately per cent with a
reduction of about 10 per cent on
vehicles operating beyond smile
radius.
This fling was prepared by the
National Automobile Underwriters
Assn. of New York City which
represents between four and five
hundred insurance companies over
the entire nation. Before the Della
ware Commissioner gave his final
approval to this lower rate, he
visited the office of the Rating Blu
reau where quite a lengthy detailed
discussion was held with a group
present representing a croSs-sec-
ton of people with varied inter
ests in the insurance business. Mr..
Smith finally decided that this
lower rate of premiums for Della
wareans could be effected without
effecting the solvency of any of
the companies involved which in
Lu1 Ii, WOul0 dSSuIS pIcu1iQA pay
ers of the stability of the COM
panies with whom they would be
carrying this insurance at the new
low rate. Commissioner Smith re-
ported from his office in Dover
that in these times when the cost
of living has increased so much,
he is proud to be able to effect
such large savings for citizens
of Delaware.
At the same time the Delaware
Commissioner announced revised
automobile liability insurance rates
including some reductions. These
rate revisions are based on a re-
view of the latest available expert
ence for the State of Delaware
coupled with a change in the rat
ing formula which results in allo-
eating larger share of the pre-
MUM dollar to the payment of
claims. Private passenger automO-
bile liability rate changes as pre-
pared by the National Bureau of
Casualty Underwriters varies ac-
cOrding to car classification and
territory. Car owners qualifying
for farm rates will continue to re-
ceive discount on this type of
business of 80 per cent from the
rates that would otherwise apply
to their private passenger cars be-
cause of the more favorable ex-
perience of this class of risk. Com
missioner Smith also announced an
average statewide liability rate re-
duction of approximately II per
cent for commercial cars and a
reduction of approximately per
cent for garage risks buying the
broad cOverage. Even though liza
bility insurance rates statewide
will increase 6 per cent, Delaware
enjoys one of the best rates in the
nation for automobile liability in
surance coyerage. This, combined
with the extra large reduction of
over $168,000.00 for collision pre-
miums will enable Delawareans to
carry full coverage on automobiles
at very attractive premium.

How To Foil A Upper
BY DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press WOmen's Editor

Are you afraid of zippers?
Does the prospect of inserting a
upper in a skirt give you a feeling
of inadequacy?
When you make a dress, does the
upper placket always turn out
looking homemade?
Zippers have been a stumbling
block for home sewing fans for 10,
these many years. Many women
can turn out a professional job on
a dress. and then spoil it all with
a botched Upper job.
This is a fact long recognized
by both upper manufacturers and
instructors at local sewing centers.
So now they have put their heads
together and have come up with
simplified method.
New zippers have bead-like
sewing guide line to assist you in
stitching, the metal parts are fiat
ter and narrower, to give smooth
er effect and they have an automati-
cally locking slider shaped to avoid
smuggling.
If you follow directions careful
ly, you can even put them in
smoothly without the use of pins or
hand basting. Here's how:
First prepare the placket, max
ing its length equal to that of the
metal part of the Upper, plus a
half-inch waistline seam allow
ance. To prevent stretching of the
placket it is wise to stay-stitch it
a-inch from each edge, on the
seam allowance. Next close the
placket with machine basting and
press the seam open. To do ma
chine basting, use a long stitch and
loose tension.
Now adjust stitch size for reg
ular sewing and attach the upper
foot attachment to your sewing ma
chine. Adjust the attachment to
the right side of the needle, plac-
ing it so that no part of the foot
rides on the metal portion of the
Upper.

Gets Ancient Flag

ern property on Limestone Road
and has been given to the Histor-
ical Society of Delaware.
The flag e 15) purchased in
1874 costing $3.50, is of pure silk
edged with fringe and contains
rs stars as the 9th state was not
admitted until 1845. One hundred
and eight men donated money
which was raised by popular sub
scription and no one subscribed
less than fifty cents and many gave
one dollar.
The subscribers list which ac-
companied the flag was discovered
by Mrs. Kemper B. Pierson of Old
Capitol Trail, MarshalltOn, in an
old desk formerly owned by the
Mermaid Walkers. This list is
headed by the name of Robert
Walker, Jr., grandfather of Mrs.
Pennington. AS the penmanship
on the list is all the same and
after comparing it with Mr.. Walk
er's diary owned by his grandson,
Robert M. Walker, it appears that
he compiled the list himself. Mrs.
Pennington has IA relatives who
donated to the flag including her
great grandfathers, Robert Walker
and James Denney. Mrs. Persons
great grandfather, Frederic Flair,
was also donor.
Mermaid Tavern was the poll
ing place being the third election
district in New Castle County ac-
cording to an election report dat
ed 1853 found in the hundred bal
lot box The 1853 election ballots
placed with the list, were used to
ratify or reject the new constitu-
ton. Rebecca Walker occupied the
tavern during this period but it
was first established in 1746 by
James Walker. When it became
the polling place Mrs. Pennington
doesn't know but she is SO years
old and we'll remembers elections
there as gala times. She feels it
was the polling place until sub
districts were formed.
Mermaid was community
gathering place with its black
smith shop, wheelwright shop and
a post office.
According to the subscription
list, eight of the original donors
paid $475 to have this flag re-
paired, the stain. taken out and
put together again. When this took
place is unknown, as no date was
given.
Mrs. Pennington and Mrs. Pier
son, both charter members of the
Captain William McKennan Chap
ter OAR. donated the flag and
subscribers list through their
chapter and the State Society to
the Historical Society so that the
public could have the privilege
and opportunity of viewing them.
