will feel moist as you run your
hand over the boughS.
AS soon as you bring the tree
home, the foresters suggest,
throw cold water all over it.
Then cut off the butt end about
an inch slantWise to open pores,
and stand it in a container of
water.
Keep it cool and away from
sun and wind until you bring ii
into the house for trimming.
Every year the USDA says, it
receives many queries about
methods of fire-proofing Christ
mas tree. Foresters answer: Buy
a fresh tree and then give il
enough water to keep it fresh.
A five to six foot tree may take
up a quart of water the first day
it is set up in a warm room. After
that, water needs replenishing
daily because the tree may use
a full cup of water every "a
hours.
Best locations for keeping the
tree fresh and moist are in the
cool part of the room - away
from radiators, hearth-fires, TV
sets or other sources of heat.

STERN PURITAN LAWS

The stern PurltanS Of New
England, who frowned upon the
celebration of Christmas as a
pagan rite, went so far as to
enact "blue laws" banning the
making of mince pies. World
Book Encyclopedia reported that
mince pies are associated with
Christmas because they were
originally baked in the shape of
a manger.

Milford chronicle., 1959-05-01

In asking for this action, the
committee explained, "A prelimin-
ary survey by the Joint Revenue
Committee has indicated that there
is little likelihood that a promis-
ing solution to Delaware's finan-
cial difficulties will result from
hastily conceived and hastily ex-
ecuted proposal to increase reve-
nues."
The committee set it's duties as
four-fold including the evalation
of estimates of revenues under the
existing tax structure and studies
of the broad policy factors that
contribute to the financial con-
duct of the states business.
At one point, their report states:
"Delaware's tax structure should
be examined to determine what
sources are available for new or
increased revenues. Comparisons
with the tax patterns of other
states will be made with< particu-
lar emphasis on nearby states and
states comparable to Delaware in
terms of population, geographic
size and economic organization.
This study should reveal the
weaknesses in the states present
tax pattern and provide substan-
tial evidence from which reco-
mmendations can be made to
eliminate inequities, promote rev.
enue efficiency and .equalize tax
burdens.
.''This study should also indicate
untapped revenue sources which
can be used if additional revenues
are ultimately required. The CO.
mmittee is opposed to recommend
ing new forms of taxation so long
as present sources are yielding less
than proper amounts because of
statutory loopholes or inadequate
administrative provisions"

to the fact that Yield Right of

placed at the entrances to the

year.
Senator Spicer, who is Mayor of
Georgetown, sketched the state
financial situation and told of the
creation of the Joint Revenue
Committee which is non-parisan
in that it has three Republican
and three Democratic senators as
members and also the same rep
resentation from the House.
He explained, mo doubt every
one present is familiar with the
much-talked-about Finance Com
mittee which is made up of five
members of the Senate and five
members of the House. This men,
bership must be approved by both
the Senate and House.
This group started their hear
ings sometime in January and we
are still wasting time waiting for
their report to the people of Della
ware and I give you my word as a
member of the Legislature that this
group in my opinion is very seret-
i've as to their findings. When de-
partment heads are heard, they
seem to think the information be-
longs just to them.
"It is also evident that, some
citizens have lost confidence in
their own finance committee to
solve our financial problems so it
was decided to introduce SCR No.
10, on Feb. 16, which reads as foil
Ows:
Providing for Joint Revenue
Committee to study new sources
of revenues for meeting the finan-
cial needs of the state and to make
recommendations to the current
General Assembly pertaining to the
same"
Senator Spicer read from the
first interim report in which the
committee asks that the Budget
Appropriation Bill be enacted in
two steps because of the vast task
of research that must be done. The
first step would be to present
bill covering the fiscal year ending
June 1. 1860. and later a bill COW
ering the fiscal year ending June
80, 1861.
