also devoted to investment
planning.
How It Operates
Mr.. Schenck and his associ-
ates thus described the work.
ings Of the Quotron:
This electronic quotations
selector is a small machine,
about the size of an adding
machine. 1t contains all the
letters of the alphabet. By
pressing the official symbols
for a stock-such as GIN for
general motors DID for Dupont
or T for American Telephone
q Telegraph Co., the last sale
of the stock selected will be
shown. 1t will be connected
with the New York and Amer
lean Stock Exchanges.
AS soon as the market opens |
at 10 am, the machine be-
gins to record sales. 1t con-
tinueS through the business
day until the market closes at
$3.50 pm. Impressions of all
exchange quotations will be
smemorized electrically" on
the unit. i
The machine has another
feature. 1t will "scan" a stock,
when a particular button is
pressed. The machine will
thus reproduce shares of stock
traded during the business day.
It will take only about 5 Sec
endS to "scan" one hour of
trading.
Now, it takes from 8 to 10
minutes - depending on how
busy the market is-to get a
Quotation. The Quotron will
cut this to four seconds. Read
ings can be taken from the
machine until shortly before
the market opens the next day.
ALI Sales at Finger Tips
Each salesman will be able
to get the last sale of any
stock traded during the day at
his finger tips. The general
public can also use the machine
so they can get the trading on
their own stocks, after the de-
vice is installed early in Oc-
tober.
Most brokerage firms have
boards which operate electron-
ically. But because there are
so many stocks, only a frac-
tion of them are available. The
boards could not possibly carry
all. But Quotron will have
practically all.
There are about 1900 stocks
on the American Exchange and |
about 1900 on the New York |
Stock Exchange.

Savings Bond
Sales In Kent
Reach New High

Kent County residents were
congratulated Wednesday for
their part in swelling US. Saw

all-time high.
H. Irving Buckson, assistant
vice president, Delaware Trust

tionwide holdings of Series E

$42.8 billion as of Aug. 81, ac-

Delaware residents own about
$108,0O0,00O, and Mr.. Buckson
estimated Kent County's share

Carter Attends
Florida Meet of
Honor Society

Miss Cordelia Carter, Milford,
president of Beta Chapter, DIX

Bal Harbour, Florida, meeting
of the International Convention
of Delta Kappa Gamma, inter
national honor society for wo-
men teachers. Over 1000 edu-
Gators from the United States
and abroad attended this con-
vention. Miss Carter served as
official delegate from Delaware.
The highlight of the conven-
ton was the awarding of the
Sc scholarships for advanced
study valued at $250O each.
Mrs. Anita Rue Ankeney, music
teacher at Anna P. Mote Ele-
mentary School, received the
Delaware award. One scholar
ship was awarded in each of
the so states, the District of
Columbia, and the five Canadi-
an provinces in which the So
ciety was organized. This pro-
ject was undertaken in 1858.
Contributions from the nearly
$4,000 members in the Society
have made this possible. DR..

Delaware Shore
Most Enjoyable
In Fall Months

Although the Delaware coast
al resort area is now quiet COM
pared to the hustle and hustle
found there during the recent
Labor Day holiday period, the
September visitor will still find
plenty to do at the Delaware
beaches, advises the Delaware
State Development Department.
According to the state promo
ton agency, September and ear
ly October are still vacation
time" along the Delaware shore.
In fact, the claim is made that
this is one of the most enjoyable
periods of the year due to the
warm waters, bright sunshine,
and cool, pleasant evenings that
characterize early Fall along
Delaware's Riviera Coast"
Swimming, whether it be in
the ocean or an inland bay, is
particularly enjoyable d uri n G
September, and fishing, one of
the main diversions of Delawar-
cans and Delaware vi o r S
throughout the year, generally
gets better as the days become
shorter and the evenings be-
come cooler. Throughout the
Fall, devotees of boating, water
skiing, grabbing and claiming
continue to enjoy their favorite
sport at nearby inland bays.
The lower "off-season" rates,
that go into effect in mid-Sep-
tember at many of the areas

edly has appeal for those who
can take late September vaca-
tions, notes the Development

Farm Future Is
Tied To Growth
Says Coop Head

The future of farming as a
business is tied tightly to the
growth of this country. AS re-
suit, farm markets will grow
rather than shrink. This fact was
brought out by Alvis S. Hardy,
Southern States Cooperative re-
preventative, at the Smyrna
Clayton area annual member
ship meeting at Clayton on Sept.
2. BY 1875, according to Mr..
Hardy, USDA reports that this
country will have 230,000,00O
people who will need 35 percent
more poultry, SO percent more
red meats, 38 percent more milk,
81 percent more eggs, and 81
percent more fruits and vege-
tables. AS a result, Mr.. Hardy
pointed out, Southern States Co.
operative must concern itself
more and more in the years
ahead to increasing farmers
bargaining power through help
ing them control more of the
phases OF 'agribusiness'." In or
der to do this, Mr.. Hardy said,
the cooperative must keep up
to-date with respect to facilities,
financing, member relations and
utilization. A step in this direc-
ton was the recent reorganiza-
ton program that Southern
States Cooperative put into ef-
feet on July l.. Under this sys-
tenn the five-state operating ter
ritory of the organization was
divided into 10 regions. Each re-
gion has it's own regional head
quarters and staff headed by a
regional manager. The old sys-
tenn had 40 operation districts

now Vermont was made in 1883
at Brattleboro.
Up until the Revolution this
region was known as the New
H a m p hire Grants, and was
claimed by New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and New York.
The capture of Ticonderoga
and Crown Point in IT'S by
Ethan Allen and his Green
Mountain Boys made it possible
for General Washington to OBJ
tain enough artillery to force
the British to evacuate Boston
nearly a year later.
In January, l777, the settlers
in the New Hampshire Grants
held a convention at Westmin-
ster and proclaimed it free
and independent state capable
of regulating their own internal
police in all and every respect
whatsoever, and that it should
thereafter be known by the
name of New Connecticut"
Four months later a second
convention changed the name
of the quasi-independent state
to Vermont, derived from two
French words meaning green
and mountain"
The name Vermont had been
suggested to the delegates by
DR.. Thomas Young, an early as
sociate of Ethan Allen.
But the Continental Congress,
not wishing to offend New York,
Massachusetts, and New Hamp-
shire, refused to admit the new
state of Vermont as an equal
partner.

The OZd
South

The old Castalian Springs

This was in the time of War,
invasion, and ruin at every
mans door. It was the year of
1870, a little lady by the name
of Martha Moore, paid the
taxes and moved into the old
cabin with her large family of
children, trying to make a
living in the small clearing.
The history of the poverty
of the South needs no retelling,
times were so hard for Mrs.
Moore, that she was glad when
a wealthy man from New Or
leans, named Col. Outlaw Of
fered to buy her little holdings,
she was indeed grateful to sell
for what to her, was an enor-
NOUS sum of money.
Then things began to hap
pen in the quite country side,
the woods were lovely and the
water was fine. The water was
sent off and analysed, and
found to contain what at that
time was considered a miracle
drug. The new owner was quite
a sportsman, he was delighted
with what he had discovered.
A spring-house was built, a
row of rooms with a porch OF
both sides to assure GOODNESS,
the creek banks were cleared
for fishing, carpenters went to
work on a large dance pavilion,

Methodists Were First To
Build Church In Durunt.
BY Evu Burwen

COPIED from the New Or
leans Christian Advocate. Thurs
day, March 9, 1879 Written
by Rev. z. S. Lewis on that
date.
THE town of Durant was
located in the summer of 1855
by the Illinois Central Rail-
road. The Methodist did not
have a church until the cree
ton Of a beautiful brick struc-
ture which stood up on the
same lot now being occupied.
The church was small, the cor
ner stone was laid in 1871 but
the church was not finished
until 1872. Up until this time
the Methodist of the commun-
ity worshipped at Old Wesley
Chapel, just west of Casralian
Springs.
Here they carried on the
work of the kingdom, for many
years, and near by they found
a convenient hillside where
they laid away their dead. Up
on the erection of the church
in Durant most of the members
at Wesley Chapel moved their
membership to the new church
in Durant.
The house, which was the
pride and JOY of the little con-
gregation went up under the
watchful eye of the pastor,
Rev. George w. Brown. He was
the pastor for four years and
made a profound impression up
on the community. He took
the superannuate relation in
1890. and his friends built him
a nice little home in Durant.
lust as it was completed, word
came that Bro. Brown was
dead.
Among those who meant
much to the town and to the
church in the early days were:
Col. S. w. Weems, Col. J. G..
Hamilton, Rev. T. Y. Ramsey,
J. S. Weathersby, Mrs. E. C..
Shine their children and grand
children.
The new church was built,
and dedicated on the first sUn-
day in June 1919, by Bishop
John C. Kilgo. 1t was a great
occasion.
Some who rendered golden
service to this church through
out many long years were:
