Del. Basin Survey
Group Meets Oct. 9

The ninth meeting of the Della
ware Basin Survey Coordinating
Committee will be held in the Sta
cy-Trent Hotel in Trenton, New
Jersey on October g.. according to
Colonel T. H. Setliffe; District En-
gineer for the Corps of Engineers
and Chairman of the Committee.
The Committee is composed of
Representatives from various Fed
eral agencies, representatives of
the States of Delaware, New Jer-
sey, New York and Pennsylvania
and the Cities of Philadelphia and
New York. The functions of the
committee are to make periodic re-
views of the progress being made
in the comprehensive study of the
water resources of the Delaware
River basin and adjacent areas, to
discuss problems of mutual inter
est, and to assist and advise all
participating agencies.
The comprehensive survey was
authorized by Congress after the
floods in northeastern Pennsyl-
vania in August 1866. The Corps of
Engineers was directed to prepare
the report in cooperation with the
various Federal agencies and state
and municipal governments.
The overall study on the Della
ware River basin is approximately
80 percent complete. Reports by
cooperating Federal and state
agencies are either on hand or are
scheduled for submission by Octo-
ber L, 1859. The Valley Report
Group of the District Engineers
Office has completed the appendix
on NEUROLOGY. Work is well ad-
vanced on appendices concerning
flood damages, hydroelectric power,
and history of the investigation.
Appendices on navigation, water
needs, and the salt water barrier
are scheduled for completion ap-
proximately October 81, 1859. Field
work is substantially completed.
Cost estimates of survey scope are
well advanced. Work is nearing
completion on the plan of develop
ment.
In announcing progress on the
study, Colonel Setliffe said, 1.-The
basic studies, the drafts of the "a
appendices, and the report proper
will be substantially completed in
draft form approximately Decem-
ber 81, 1859. The administrative
procedures such as final drafting,
review, collation., edit and repro
duct1on are time consuming; and
hence, our completion of the report
is scheduled for May 1860. We will
make every effort to expedite an
earlier completion"

TAKE THE FAMILY TO CHURCH ON
 CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY

Christmas is a day for family worship at church.
 Parents who decry juvenile ways should take advantage of the opportunity to encourage youthful devotion on this Holy Day.
 Families with the largest Yule - costliest gifts ana largest Yule- tide celebrations sometimes are the ones who have lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas. They celebrate Christ's birthday in pagan fashion.
 Many families get great satis- faction out of the day, more so because the entire family attends church services together Early in the morning after the gifts are opened, Christmas breakfast takes place and the family is off to church - youngsters prepared to thank the Lord for a new bi- cycle or doll, the elders praying that perhaps they will find the way clear to meet the bills.
 Little tots could be taught early that Christmas . the birthday of Christ, that He was born in a stable on a straw mattress. Every small child should be familiar with this scene, and if there is a creche at church, the youngster and fam fly might visit it together before or after services. Little ones will want to know about the Wise Men, a good opportunity to explain that frankincense and myrrh were perhaps the first gifts offered on this holy day.
 Time too, to explain Christmas symbols - how the star repre- sents the one that shone in the East, Illuminating the shepherds pastures with it's strange, bright

Why Christmas Comes On December 18th

It took the Christian Church more than 400 years to decide on date for Christmas. Three dates seemed to be in the running - March 25, December 25 and Jan- uary 6.
 Theophilus of Antioch was supposed to have written around 18O AID. that the Gauls were cele- brating the birth of Christ on De- cember 25, so they could celebrate the resurrection on March 25. This preference spread because Decem- Der 25 was the winter solstice and a Roman feast day celebrating the victory of light over darkness.
 The Eastern church still clings to January 6.

light. And how it beckoned them to the stable.
 Much confusion originates in children's minds about gifts and Christmas. Many poorly endowed children feel they are cheated. If the spiritual angle is stressed to them, with the beauty of the creche played up, and the lovei- ness of church flowers and decora- tions, theirs will not seem such a hopeless Christmas.

IRISH LEAVE FOOD ON TABLE ALL NIGHT

In many country areas of Ire land, the peasants hold fast to a traditional Christmas ceremony - the placing of food on the table before bedtime with the cottage door left unlocked.
 The good, simple folk say Mary and Joseph might again pass their way, and it wouldn't do at all in hospitable Ireland if, once again, there was neither food nor shel- ter at the inn.

SODA TIPS Mind you
now I'm not peddling the stuff
but plain old baking soda can
be a mighty handy item for car
owners to have around. Here are
a few of the many automotive
uses where soda will turn the
trick:
Clean windshield wiperS for
better vision. Rub the wiperS
with moistened baking soda and
then rinse before driving in the
rain. Uncleaned blades spread a
vision-blurring oil film over the
windshield. Soda adds more life
to the wiperS, too.
Remove insects from the wind
shield. When bugs start splat-
tering on the windshield, they
can prove to be a real menace.
The next time it happens, try
sprinkling a little soda on a
moistened rag and rubbing it
over the windshield. After rims
ing with clean dampened cloth,
there's clear driving ahead until
the little pests attack again. APP
ply the same cleaning procedure
to your headlights occasionally.
Clean battery and cable term
lnals. First brush away the dir:
from the top of the battery and
cable terminals with wire
brush. Next mix a solution of
one-quarter pound of soda in a
quart OF water. Apply with
discarded paintbrush to the ter
mlnals, frame, battery case and
metal ground strap. BE careful
not to get the solution inside
the battery This treatment
emulsifies the oil and grease and
neutrahzes corrosive acids.
Rinse off the soda solution with
clear water and wipe dry. Check
the connections for tightness and,
for a finishing touch coat the
terminals with vasoline to re-
tard future corrosion.
Put out engine fires. Perhaps
you'll never have one, but
there's still the possibility. II
fire breaks out, never use water
only smothering agent. Sand
will do the job but will probably
damage the engine. Baking soda
dumped on the flames is advised
by fire underwriters for il GRE
ates carbon dioxide gas which
smothers the flames quickly and
efficiently without harming the
engine.
Clean windshield while driv-
ing. Add teaspoon to the water
in your windshield wiper tank
