And don't let any Republicans
in the crows nest tell you any
different.
Sussex County is a prime ex-
ample of a part of Delaware with
real stake in the future.
You're self-reliant.
Your people live primarily on
native enterprise.
On what you grow on farms and
take from the sea.
On what you produce in plants
and sell in stores owned by the
people who live here.
If the future is to shine for
areas such as Sussex County
and that means for the greater
part of America-there must be
a total escape from the time-woTn,
forlorn, Republican policy of tight
money. OF keeping interest rates
high, regardless of consequences
to the average citizen
Since 1852, Republican tight
money" policies have driven per-
sonal debt up over 100 per cent.
Suppose you want to buy a
house, a $4,000 house today. On
the average -today-interest on
your loan to finance that house
purchase for 25 years will cost you
more than $4,000.
Eight years ago-before the Re-
publicans got going that interest
figure was $4,000.
So the price you pay today is
more-by $4,0OO-on that $4,000
house you thought you wanted
before you saw you couldn't af-
ford it and changed your mind.
Needless to say, houses are
harder to buy-and fewer houses
are being built every year.

get loan at rate he could af-
ford.
I would like to see your school
districts in Delaware, and mine in
Missouri, able to borrow to build
classrooms at rates they could
afford
And l would like to see the gov
ernment sell bonds at rates we tax
payers could afford.
After all, Investment in the fu-
ture is Just demonstration of con-
fidence.
And confidence in the future
makes the future.
Growth is a word deleted from
the dictionary of the Republican
Party.
They have a new title for Amer
ica'sf oldest song Yankee Dawdle.
You know, you hear lot of peo-
pie say-lOok at America-she' S
as great and as big as she can get.
She's a tired old Ship of State
creaky at the seams.
Don't rock her. Put her in dry
dock. She's gone about as far as
she can go.
Now the people that say that
have one thing in common. They're
all Republicans.
But then there's another kind
of people who think of America as
bright new ship barely out of
the slips, shining and ready for
voyages never dreamed of.
Those people are called Demo
Gratis.
And we're proud of it. We Demo-
Gratis think America is a young
country, from stem to stern sea-
worthy, landworthy. and, with a
little push from the Captain, space
worthy.
HI have particular reason for
thinking America is young. My
great grandfather, Thomas Sym
ingtOn, was born in Brandywine
Delaware. now part of your great
city of Wilmington, six years be-
fore the death of our first Presi-
dent, George Washington. One OF
his sons, my great Uncle John
Symington, still lives,~in Baltimore
Maryland, and goes to his office
every day.
Our entire history is therefore
spanned by just two generations
To allay possible curiosity about
this, let me point out, great grampa
Thomas remarked late in life. and
Uncle John was born when he was
rs. Uncle John is now a peppy go
Just good Delaware stock!
So America is young country
And Delaware, with all those time
honored traditions l mentioned
earlier, is a young State, with 9
great future.

Sussex Co. Civil War
Round Table Elects


Avery H. Ellis, Georgetown. was
elected president of the Sussex
County Civil War Round Table at
its meeting in the Presbyterian
Church room in Georgetown last
Wednesday evening.
Others elected were the Rev.
Ralph C. Jones, SeafOrd, vice pres
ident; Mrs. Helen Renfrom, George
town, secretary and Paul Morris,
Seaford, treasurer.
The slate of officers was named
by the nominating committee head
ed by Henry Hutchinson, Bethel,
and though further nominations
were requested, none were made
and the elections were unanimous.
Tellers were Frank Hewitt, of
Georgetown and Oliver Short of
Lewes.
A discussion was held as to fu-
ture meetings and work for the
group. Several weeks ago, MEM,
bers of the New Castle Round Ia
BILE visited Georgetown to explain
to those Interested in Sussex Coun-
ty about the Civil War Centennial
observance to begin next year, and
Wednesday nights meeting was
the first to be; held on their own
by the county organization
Harold w. T. PurnelI opened the
meeting as temporary chairman
and sketched events of interest to
be held in Wilmington and annOun-
ced the proposed visit to the Rich
mond area April % and "a.
Speaker of the evening was the
Rev. Ralph G.. Jones, Seaford, who
painted the problems of the recon
structiOn era in vivid colOrs. He
described the divisions that exist
ed at the close Of the war, even
within families, and said that what
ever move was made to improve
conditions was greeted with bitter
opposition. He spoke with regret
of the lack of sensible leadership.
Mr.. Jones stressed the terrible
economic situation, with much of
the manpower gone in the south
as well as money, with the slaves
who might have helped now free
anu LuC lCdOCIS III uAdLy .CdOCOS
dead He said that $4,000 men in
cluding both north and south were
killed in the war and two million
more were incapacitated.
The farms in the south that had
remained neglected during the four
years of the war were hard to get
back into production, he explained.
He said that the north gave great
deal of money toward reconstruc-
tion in the south but that there
were also problems that money
could not solve. One of these was
the matter of public schools which
were set up at the time for the
freeman's children but there were
no schools for the whites.
In conclusion, Mr.. Jones said
that all 600 of the battlefields of
the Civil War in the United States
are "drenched with the blood of
good Americans"

MILFORD CHRONICLE MILFORD. DELAWARE FRIDAY
Pepper Disease
Problems Studied

Plant pathOlogists from New Jer-
ginia met recently at the Univer-
sity of Delaware to seek control
for the bacterial spot of peppers.
According to University of Della
ware horticultural specialist Rob-
ert F. Stevens. DeImarva pepper
production is threatened by the
severe outbreak of bacterial leaf
spot which occurred in 1859.
Sprays and dusts- with many differ
ent chemicals failed to control the
disease in 1859. Seed treatment,
long considered the best method of
control. also seemed ineffective last
year. Several new methods of con-
troll were discussed at the ses-
sion.
The programs in the four states
in 1860 will include several new
approaches to the problem.
The University of Delaware will
carry on rather extensive research
trials in an effort to control bac-
terial leaf spot in 1860. DR.. Donald
]. Fieldhouse, department of horti-
culture, and Dr. Donald F. Crossan,
department of plant pathology, plan
extensive field tests at Georgetown,
Bridgeville and Newark, to seek
control with fertilizer or control
by spraying. Greenhouse tests by
DR.. Crossan with a new chemical,
not yet available. have shown some
promise, Stevens said.
Corn borer has also raised havoc
with the pepper industry during the
past two years. However, a con-
certed effort by the University of
Delaware, the University of Mary
land and the Virginia Truck Exper-
iment Station resulted in excellent
control in experimental plots last
year. One to two pounds actual
DDT per acre. sprayed at weekly
or ten-day intervals from July z
to the end of the season, gave ex-
cellent control. Further work plan
ned for this year may show corn
borer can be controlled with few
er sprays.

committee, spoke on the present
status OF diagnosis and treatment
of cancer.
He sketched advances made dur
ing the past decade and named two
special fields in which research is
being concentrated-imp the
methods of early diagnosis and
treatment and improving the
methods of care of terminal cases
which now depend chiefly on Sc
dation or a nerve operation.
He stressed the advances made
in the study of chemicals in their
relation to cancer and explained
new ways coming into use for
early discovery of cancer. He said
also that some healthy persons
seem to have their own defense
mechanism and that If this could
be determined, it would be great
help.
Taking up the subject of diet. DR..
Stern said that obesity lays the
individual open to many degenera-
tive diseases and that in animals
at least, there is greater prolong-
alton of life in the undernourished.
Discussing the need for contin-
ued research, DR.. Stern said that
if the dietary needs of a cancer
cell could be determined, it could
be destroyed by denying it what it
wants.
Peter Van Wyck, Wilmington,
vice chairman for the state cru
sade, was present as was Mrs.
