It's big and beautiful, and more than SIG million
have been spent to make it so. Yet it draws far
fewer planes than many other, and lesser, airportS
in the Nation.
In itnerant traffic, the Baltimore facility last
year ranked Goth among 213 airports with Federally
operated control towers Washington National,
which has about half of Friendships potential
capacity, ranked fourth.
An attempt by Friendship-only 80 miles

becoming the second Washington airport failed

Conservation Reserve
Sign Up Will Start

Farmers who wish to put crop
land in the Soil Banks 1860 Conser-
vation Reserve must ask the coun-
ty ASC committees to set a basic
annual rate per-acre for the Of
fered land, William N. Hopkins,
chairman Delaware Agricultural
Sterilization and Conservation
Committee, said today.
The period for filing such re-
quests is from August "a through
September 10. No requests will be
accepted after September 10.
In setting the basic annual per-
acre rate for land offered, the
county committee will take into
consideration the productivity of
the land and the rate will be linn
tied to the local fair rental value
of the land based on the crops har-
vested from it during the past five
years.
When all the eligible cropIand on
the farm is offered for the Con-
servation Reserve, the rate will
generally be set 10 per cent high
er than the rate for only part of
the eligible land.
After the basic rate has been
determined, the farmer may apply
for a contract at any figure below
the basic rate established for the
land offered in the request for
rates. If necessary, priority sys-
tenn will be used to determine
which offers are accepted.
Contracts under the Conserva-
ton Reserve may run for as long
as 10 years. During the time of
the contract, the farmer will re-
ceive an annual rental payment on
the reserved land for the life of the
contract, and he also will receive
cost-sharing help in establishing an
approved conservation practice.
For Delaware, the basic per-acre
rate of payment under the 1860
Conservation Reserve is $1,000, the
same as under the 1859 program.
The tentative acreage goal for
the state is 1900 acres, subject to
consideration and recommenda-
tions by the state ASC Committee.

buildings, the Trustees have decid-.
ed to auction off this old furniture
and other treasures, for which
Dana Hall should get around
100000.
Stuffed Furniture OF No Value
The fact that thing is old does
not necessarily make it valuable.
Stuffed furniture, however. old, is
of little value; old books, in gen.
era1, sell at auction for perhaps Zoe
each; and old pictures have little
value. But if the furniture is made
fof mahogany and is of the right
period, it makes little difference
how badly it may be broken. An
antique dealer can usually replace
a missing part.
Another thing to look for is old
glass. Unfortunately, copies have
been made by modern glass makers
which are now sold in the dime
stores. Almost every grandmother,
however, has few pieces of actual
Sandwich glass. A set of half a doZ-
en- of these goblets should be val
liable even if your grandmother is
still using them in her kitchen.
Certain kinds of old-fashioned
jewelry have a good market, but
such items should be appraised by
an accredited jeweler. Any dia-
monds acquired over fifty years
ago would have to be recut in or
der to be salable today. Old gold
and silver however, always have a
value, selling by weight. An antique
dealer is usually interested also in
old breaches even if. they did not
cost much at the time. Modern cos
tune jewellers have not copied all
of these breaches because of the
labor involved.

Story OF A Poor Teacher
When l first met Miss Helen
Temple Cook she had borrowed
81 900 to start a small private
school for girls in wellesley. Mass,
which she named Dana Hall"
Around that time started small
school for boys in Wellesley. Miss
Cooke and l became very good
friends, helping each other in many
ways. She came to me one day and
asked if had any ideas about in
vestments for a poor school tea
cher! She added that she had
been thinking of buying old furni-
ture, of the proper periods, ,believ-
ing that this would gradually be-
come more valuable. l agreed that
her plan seemed wise. Thereupon
she started to put her savings of a
few hundred dollars a year into
carefully selected old mahogany
furniture secured from old attics,
auction rooms, and wherever she
could find something which could
be properly restored.
Some two years ago Miss Cooke
passed on to better world and
left this furniture to Dana Hall
(Which has become a very well
known institution). AS the school

"DON'Ts" FOR SWIMMERS

Many thousands of American citizens
are drowned every year, many of them be-
cause they thought they were perfectly safe.
With the summer bathing season in full
sway, it might be good idea to remind all
persons, including good swimmers, that the
water can be dangerous. There are certain
rules to be followed if one wishes to exer-
else caution in the water.
The "don'ts" that might save your life
include an admonition against swimming
alone, swimming in unpatrolled waters or
too quickly after eating. In addition, you
are urged not to depend on inner tubes as
safety belts, and to exercise care in boats
and canoes.
These simple rules might save the life
of some boy and girl this summer if parents
will take the time to call them to the atten-
tion of their children. In addition, good
swimmers should be cautioned against over
confidence which might lead to over-exer-

Stamp Collections May Rave Value

Stamp Collections May Have Value
Many young people collect post
age stamps. saw an album the
other day which had only two
stamps of any worth out of col
lection of five thousand, but these
two stamps are valued at several
hundred dollars each. Foreign
stamps are not often worth much.
The World Wars have upset for
eign countries; furthermore, some
of the newer countries are con-
stantly printing new issues in or
der to sell them to collectors, and
this disturbs the foreign stamp
market.
l advise interested young people
to confine their collection to u. S.
stamps. Old letters found in attics
may have some old United States
stamps on them that could be sold
at a good price to an honest dealer.
Probably your public library has a
stamp catalogue which will give
you a price quotation for each of
these U. S. stamps.
What Causes Initiation?
The government can always print
more money. Therefore money in
the bank or elsewhere is not a
good hedge against initiation as it
may become slowly but constantly
of less value. An initiation hedge
should be something whose supply
cannot be increased, such as ocean
front property and underground re-
sources. The same principle applies
to old mahogany furniture, Sand
wich glass, and old U. s. postage
stamps. This is a good test to ap-
ply when buying anything for your
home.

THE DAYS OF AUGUST

Augustine last full month OF summer
lis month with great military significance,
both for the United States and for the world.
1t was in August of 1914 that England and
Germany went to war, and it was in August
of 1889 that the crisis over Poland came to
a head, and caused World War II. (This
was actually declared three days after Au-
gust had ended, on September 3rd, 1939.)
The first peace draft between the United
States and Spain occurred on August 18th in
1898, and the peace treaty with Turkey,
which finally came after several ill-fated at
tempts by the allies to bring Turkey "into
line" was signed on August 10th, 1920.
Fulton's steamboat made its first trial
trip on August 18th, 1907, and it is interest
ing to know that Columbus began his first
voyage to the United States week earlier,
back in 1892
Merritt and Dewey took Manila, in 1898,
for the Americans against the Spanish, in
another military action remembered in Au-
gust. And, on the 18th, in 1900, u S. troops
entered Pekin. Also, in 1916, Japan surrend-
cred to the Allies, ending World War II.

the absence of the steel spike that
