year-old daughter, Dora. who
has been going out with the
same fellow for two years.
She doesn't see anybody else,
year-old daughter Dora, who
yet I don't hear any talk
about marriage. This boy Is
serving an apprenticeship and
won't have a real job for
another year-and-a-half. His
uncle owns a skating rink
and he takes Dora there all
the time. When she suggests
a movie he always talks her
out of it. And he has never
given her a gift.
She is wasting her time
with him. He's just stringing
her along. When he gets a
job, he will throw her over
and find somebody else. She
should tell him off-or else
find herself another beau.
1t doesn't do to make a door,
mat of yourself.
Dora ii. Mother never
liked Jerry and told me SO
from the beginning. She's
Just against him and any
thing he does is wrong. I
happen to love him and I'd
wait for him another five
years If I had to. I'm still
young enough to wait an
other two years anyway. I'm
working and saving money
so we'll be of to a good start.
I know Jerry will marry me.
He doesn't see any other
girl.
I hate 1t when my mother
talks about gifts. I don't
think things like that mat
ter. Some girls are just out
for what they can get from
a man. I have never been
like that. I would much
rather be married to a poor
man who really loves me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
They say you can't argue
anybody out Of love and 1t
seems to be true. Unfortu-
nately, it isn't only because
love is such a powerful emo
ton, but because the word is
often used as a block against
all reason.
We have the impression
that Dora is every bit as
worried as her mother. The
more scared she Is, the more
she clings to a straw-her
belief, based on little or moth
ing. that Jerry plans to mar.
ry her.
Unfortunately, Mrs. M. H.
has put things rather harsh
ly. A young girl, dreaming
Of romance. Is naturally re-
sistant to the idea that she
should look for material ben
efits from a man. However, 1t
happens to be one way Of ex.
pressing affection. There are,
Of course, other ways-such
as a very inexpensive gift or
date that Is a little different
and reveals some special
thought. But we doubt Dora
has received this considera.
ton.
We see nothing against
Dora's continuing to enjoy
this friendship, but we see
everything against her bank
ing on it as a marriage pos
sibility. She should make an
effort to meet others.

Does "make-work" make for greater safety
on the railroads? Not so you'd notice it.
Available evidence suggests that just the
opposite is true.
Fact is, despite the excellent safety record
of the railroads, featherbedding can be
hazard to safety.
For example, % states have "featherbed"
laws which force railroads to hire un-
needed train crew members. These %
states have 57.4% of railroad employees,
51po of railroad mileage - and 900 of
railroad accident casualties!
Railroad featherbedding = work paid for,
but not performed or not needed = claims
a shocking toll Of $500,000,000 from

the American public every year. In every
way, railroad featherbedding is a drag
on the nations economy - and drain on
your income. 1t forces you to pay higher
prices.
But it hurts railroad employees worst of
all. "Make-work" doesn't make jobs it
destroys them. It is one of the reasons for
the disappearance of 1000 railroad jobs
per week for the last ten years half
million jobs in less than decade.
That's why the forthcoming negotiations
between the railroads and the unions are
so urgently important to the whole ma
ton. The railroads will seek the agree
ment of the unions in lifting this feather

another result of
railroad featherbedding

Far from being necessary for safety,
railroad featherbedding can actually
increase accidents. In % states with
"excess crew" featherbed laws, the acct
dent rate is higher than the national
average.

up and go home, Flint's schools come alive. Lights
blaze. Cymnasiums roar. There are more people in

at night.)
Flint's program began back in 1895 when this was
one Of the worststricken cities Of the Depression
Delinquency was up. Population was transient.
Schools had frightened their belts until they could
hardly draw breath.
1t was those lockedup schools at night that both
cred DISQUALIFICATION director Frank ]. Manley.
He went to Charles S. Mott, threc-times mayor Of
Flint and director of General Motors Corporation.
Mott gave 5000, and Eve schools started staying
open until o'clock at night
Since then every school in Flint has become an
after-hours center and most of them have lOOxlO0
gym and community room.
The program has weathered bad times as well as
good in this economically hOtand-cOol town. But
one Of the most important points Manley makes is
that the main fundamental of the program - the
round-the-clOck use Of schools = is good sound
thrift for any town.

a living legend - he's known as MIR. Flint = has
sweetened his original gift so often that next year

Naturally there have been tax increases but
Fhnts citizens have responded willingly.
In essence, it's q recreation program any town
in America could undertake. Here, in seven main
points, is the Flint formula:

The best way to achieve this is through the family
approach. A typical brainstOm was the Family Bike

augmented by dozens Of other activities for the

Buying Vegetable Seeds

Results In your garden next sum
mer will be partly determined wS=a
you buy the seed, says county
Agent VIM II. Henderson
Although good seed is only one
OF the factors In yield and quality,
1t is an important one
New seed catalogs will list some
new varieties along with the old
ones Carefully consider the In
formation in the catalogs, Mr.. Hen
derson says but don't forget your
own experience. II you have had
good results with certain varieties
in the past, that IS your best guide
to buying seeds for this season
If any new or improved variety
looks particularly interesting it
would be a good idea to buy
small amount Of seed for trial ra-
ther than completely discarding
varieties that have done well In the
past. A years test under the grow
er's own conditions will show whe-
ther the new strains are superior.
The important things, Henderson
says, is for the grower to know
what varieties of seeds he wants
and to order from the seed house
OR to shop around in retail stores
until he finds what he wants.
Good seed costs slightly more
than the common run of seed but it
more than repays the grower for
the higher price.

Food Outlook For 1859


The II. s. Department OF Agri-
cultures food outpnt forecast for
the coming year Is generally
more" according to Miss Patricia
Middleton. h o m management
specialist with the extension ser
vice at the University or Delaware.
Food supplies are expected to
be somewhat heavier this year and
retail prices are expected TO aver
age little less than 1858.
Larger supplies and resulting
lower prices are expected for hogs,
poultry products, fresh vegetables
and potatoes. Miss Middleton said
Pork consumption in 1859 may
reach S6 pounds per person, al
most 10 percent above asst year >
level. The anticipated reduction in
pork prices will likely be enough
10 bring the average price for all
meats little below the 1858 pri-
ces.
Early in the year, large supplies
of chicken meat will reflect both
greater output of commercial
broilers and increased sales of ma
ture chickens from expanded farm
'aocks.
More turkey meat is probable
because of the larger number OF
birds expected TO be available dur
ing the first six months of this
year. Cold storage stocks are also
higher now than last year al this
time.
Egg production will be up but
increased population will probab-
ly take care of the increase.
Potatoes are expected to be in
heavier supply and lower priced
than a year ago, due 10 last years
larger crop, the USDA reported.
