song extolls the historical back
ground and the virtues of "The
First State" while answering the
question Where are you from?'
Introduction of ''We're From the
State of Delaware" has served to
focus attention upon its composer,
the former Nancy 10 Elliott, who
was, as she puts it, brought up
in Methodist parsonages in small
communities, of Tennessee. Upon
completion of high school, she en-
rolled in DePauw University,
Greencastle, Indiana, where she
met John Mcfarland, also DePauw
student. Married in 1947, the Nc
Farlands graduated in 1949, re-
ceiving A. B. degrees. Nancy was
cum laude while John was magma
cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa)
From 1949 to 1853, while John
was earning his Ph.D., the McFar-
lands lived on the Vanderbilt Uni
versity campus in Nashville, Tenn
essee. Here, Nancy supplemented
the G.. /. income by teaching
Kindergarten mornings, piano les
sons at Ward Belmont Conserva-
tory afternoons, and typing grad
uate these evenings.
After two more years of college
(M.LT.) for John, the McFarlands
came to Wilmington in 1856 when
John became a research chemist
with the DUPONT Company. AS a
result of their parents travels, the
Mcfarland children have each
been born in a different state I'm

and Delaware).

SAFE HUNTING

The season for hunting has begun in
many states, and, unless 1859 is an exception
to previous years, the newspapers will report
numerous instances involving the wounding
or killing of hunters by accident.
Nearly ever community in the nation has
at one time or another, experienced the sense
of futile grief which follows tragedy in the
fields. The accident, in the absence of human
erOr, could have been avoided in most in
stances.
Despite the knowledge that firearms are
dangerous, human beings often take chance,
and, by so doing, take the life of someone
else. We have seen several collections of
safety rules, designed to warn hunters of
danger. The following eleven, which were
sent out by the Conservation Department of
the State of New York sometime ago, de-
serves wide circulation and study by all those
who plan to take to the fields and woods in
search of game:
Q) Never carry loaded guns in automo-
biles or other vehicles.
(2) When afield, hunting birds, keep
abreast of your companion.
(3) In loading, never point gun in the
direction of your companion.
(4) In climbing over stone walls and
fences, first break or unload your gun.
(5) A bird quartering to the right in the
vicinity of your companion should never be
fired on by hunter on the extreme left, or
vice versa.
(6) Never leave a loaded gun standing
against tree or lying on the ground where
a dog may get at it.
CD Always keep your gun pointed away
from your companion when you stop to talk.
(8) In handing gun to person for in
spection, be sure it isunloaded.
(9) Never shoot in the direction of your
companion because you consider yourself a
good marksman. You will be taking dang
erous chance.
(10 Carry gun pointed down to the left.
If you shoot left-handed, walk at the extreme
right ofCyour companion.
(11) At all times, be careful.

is some day discovered there could
be a great jump in the price of all
vacant land, especially land in a
semi-tropic region such as Florida,
or in any of our Southwestern
States which have long days of
sunshine. Persons buying such
land should insist on very cheap
acreage and not buy land which
might be desirable for possible
subdivision. For harnessing gravi-
ty,-swamp land, mountain land,
wood land, or even desert land
could be equally valuable. Such
land should be property that is no
good for anything else and which
now sells for a few dollars per
acre.
OF course, when buying acreage
for possible subdivision or farming,
there are many other considera-
tions. The nearer such land is to
city or town, the more one can
afford to pay,-probably up to 500
per acre. Let me finally add that a
person should never buy any Gland,
in Florida or elsewhere, without
first seeing it. Moreover, the best
bargains may be within a few miles
of where you are now reading this
column. Remember the story of the
man who hunted all over the world
for a certain large diamond, then
finally found it in his own back.

The new. program would enable

Most MATS planes today are

Such a fleet should be acquired

Congressional Adjournment
The sudden move to adjourn Com
gress, rather abruptly, and to
schedule a special Congressional
session this fall has many political
implications.
enhower has been limiting that he

not satisfied Sln several important
legislative fields. Majority Leader
Lyndon Johnson is also heavily in
voIved, and it is believed that
Johnson will see to it that effective
labor and civil rights bills are
passed in the special session
While the final determination,
and even dates, might be determin-
| ed by the time you read this, it is
interesting to note that Majority
Leader Johnson is to join the list
of those Presidential candidates
who visit Europe and Russia.
Since Hubert Humphrey, Adlai
Stevenson, and many other promi-
nent Americans have visited Rus
sia. and made much political capi-
tai out of their visits, Lyndon
Johnson has been stuck in Wash
ington with his full energies de-
voted to maintaining harmony in
his party and pushing an effective
legislative program through the
| Senate.
No doubt his forthcoming trip
will focus attention on the tall
Texan, and he will also have a spe-
cial sessioro to show his wares, in
certain key legislative fields.
There are those in Washington
who believe that if Johnson passes
a strong racketeering-curbi la
Dor bill, in a special session, he
will have stolen the thunder from
Senator John Kennedy, who spon-
sored a relatively mild labor bill.

Weekly Tree Talk
Berry Crop Heavy on Trees, A
TipOff To Autumn Feeding

Shade trees that put forth q
heavy nut, seed or berry crop in
the fall need popping up. Autumn
feeding will do it. Feeding restores
vigor, replacing the enormous en-
ergy expended by trees to produce
an abundance of fruit.
Suggesting this, Don Cantwen OF
the Bartlett Tree Expert Co. re-
ports that dogwoods are exception
ally profuse with berries turning
crimson. Mountain ash, hawthorne,
viburnum, elder and holly are law
ish with berries.
A summer on the moist side aid
ed development also of acorns. A
corns of the white oak group mat
ure in one year and will become
squirrel food this autumn. InS this
grouping of oaks are white oak,
swamp, bur, post, chestnut and
blue oak
Acorns of the black oak group
require two years for maturity. In
this group are pin, black, red, scar
let, shingIe, willow and jack. A
corns formed last year will drop
this fall.o
Whether or not your shade trees
bear autumn fruit, fall is an ideal
time to feed them-and feed lib
orally. This popping up will send
trees into winter healthier and as
sure good spring growth.

merry clip in recent0weeks from
late afternoon to we'll into the
night. Don Cantwell, District Man
ager of the Bartlett Tree Expert
Tree0Co., says one reason for this
seemingly louder than usual rhy-
thmical fiddling, chirping, and
humming is because weather has
been kind to insects. They are en-
ormously plentiful and hordes OF
them send up mighty chorus
With few exceptions only the males

sons: for the love OF their lady

They must do their singing and
wooing before frosts come. Other
wise the insect orchestra would
leave an unfinished symphony.
Spray Tulip And Magnolia Trees

Now, in early September, is the
time to combat scale on tulip and
magnolia trees. These damaging
late-cfawling scale insects can be
checked in their track by prompt
spraying with malathion, says Don
Cantwell, District Manager of the
Bartlett Tree Expert Co. A second
application of the insecticide should
follow in 7-10 days.

CONTROLLED FREEDOM

Labor Day has degenerated, in large mea-
sure, to the status of hOliday--a last fling
of gaiety before summers end and the re-
turn to school and the more demanding rou-
tines of fall and winter. We say "degener-
ated' because, as its best, Labor Day can be
something far better than the core of long
holiday weekend. 1t can be time for re-
flection on the place of organized labor in
the fabrics of American life, and it ought to
be such time.
This Labor Day, in particular, gives op-
portunity to pause and take stock of labor
sins and virtues. There has been impassion-
ed debate on that subject in the year past.
AS always in such circumstances, the picture
has been Jared out of perspective. This is a
good time to seek to restore proper per-
spective.
And what should that perspective be?
WE'LL it should recognize that labor is neither
demon nor angel, neither a sinister force out
to destroy free enterprise nor a pure white
knight beyond reproach. The trade union
movement is the combined sinew and brain
of those who toll for wages. 1t is made up
of human beings, and it has the faults and
the good qualities to be found in most hu-
man enterprises.
Like any other momentous force in our
society, organized labor must be subjected
to controls in the broad public interest. Like
any other gynomentous force it must be al
lowed sufficient freedom within the frame
work of control so that it can perform its
destined function.
We believe that this principle of con-
trolled freedom has the approval of the great
majority of the American people. 1t is a
principle that needs to be restated again on
Labor Day, 1859.

In summary, special session
will certainly mean that political
news will be hot and heavy in
Washington this fall. With all the
Eisenhower-Khru news also,
it means that the political public
ity derby in 1859 will continue to
be Page One news for most of the
remainder of the year.
Silence Needed
Certain United States Senators
have sounded Off-in the u. S.
press Sabout the flying of Russian
flags next to American flags, and
other things, when Premier Nikita
Khrushchev visits Washington and
President Eisenhower next month.
These statements make good
headlines, and may please the anti
communist sentiments of constitu-
ents back home. However, they are
in the worst diplomatic taste, and
greatly complicate the already diff
ficuIt job facing President Eisen-
hover and the State Department.
If public sentiment in the United
States prefers that the Soviet flag
not be flown along with the Amer
ican flag, in the usual diplomatic
style when the foremost officer of
visiting state is an official guest,
then this should be done quietly,
and without any fanfare, or cheap
publicity, or political publicity eff
forts.
OF course. the flying of the Soviet
flag in receiving Khrushchev is a
mere courtesy afforded all leaders
of foreign countries, and it does
not signify that the United States
approves of the policies of the in
dividuaI concerned. 1t is a protocol,
in accepted international diploma
tic style, and not to fly the Russian
flag, in courtesy to Khrushchev,
would be the crudest form of an in
sult-and one whi&h was not re-
sorted to in Moscow recently when
Vice President Nixcn arrived there.
1t should also be remembered
that President Eisenhower is to be
the official guest OF, the Soviet I'm
ion later in the year, and the same
Senators who are spouting off to-
day about what should be done for
Khrushchev, and who should be re-
naming silent. ara leaving this
problem to the Stste Department
and the President. will expect
President Eisenhower to receive
every courtesy in Moscow. They
will be quick to issue similar state
ments Of condemnation in the
event President Eisenhower did
not receive such courtesy.
