They are tied with Stan Leo

three years, and Don January
Palmer maintains that he
has putted like Joe Schmokes
whoever he is, for two days in
a row.
Nobody here is driving the
ball better than Palmer, whose
blacksmith-lik arms give him
the power necessary to conquer
Augusta National. He drove SO
far on the 555-yard scond hole
that he went over the green
with a four-iron, but he Clipped
dead for a birdie four.
FalterS on Fourth
Arnold made his first bogey
on the 220-yard fourth, which
looks like a long par four fror-
the tee. One of the few players
to carry a one-iron. he used it
but it wasn't enough club.
Arnold regained that stroke
with a birdie duce on the
sixth, where he made a g.
footer. He went six under par
for the tournament on the
seventh, where he daintily
tapped an 18-foot downhill
putt and it slipped into the
cup.
Palmer reached the green in
two on the par-three eighth,
but he three-putted from 40
feet. His ball was in a depres-
sion and it jumped as he hit it.
Palmer three-putted again on
the 18th, this time from 30
feet.
On the par-five 18th, the hole
where a decision on whether to
gamble or play safe has decided
many a Masters tournament,
Palmer gambled and lost. His
three-wood found the ditch.
My caddie wanted me to use
a one-iron," Palmer said. IF 1
had to make the decision again,
I'm not sure whether l would
go for it or not"
Arnold played safe of the
lake on the par-five 18th,
Clipped 10 feet from the cup
and made the putt for a birdie
four. On the 18th his second
shot flew over the green and he
Clipped short and missed for
a bogey five. He needed the
par on 18 for the lead, and
made it.
He wasn't in any trouble ex-
cept for the 18th hole, but he
said he does expect to putt bet
ter tomorrow. He will have to
to win.

Delaware Food Market
Report

Spring vegetable production as
whole, is predicted to be $50 below
a year ago. Some vegetables, how
ever, are and will be in larger sup
ply this year. These include celery,
snap beans,y onions, spinach, cauli-
flower, egg plant, peppers and
sweet corn. Current supplies of
many vegetables are good and
prices are beginning to edge down
a penny or so. Check the following
for good buys this weekend: eel
cry, spinach, artichokes, carrots,
escarole, endive and romaine. A
new crop of snap beans is now
coming in from Florida, and the
prices have dropped to an average
of 22c lb. Fresh asparagus con-
tinues to arrive in fair supply with
prices ranging from tic to 30c lb.
This is one vegetable that still has
only one season-that's right now.
Select the large tender stalks, ones
with tightly closed flowerlets, if
you want a truly delicious vege-
table.
Lettuce went up in price last
week and is high again this week.
Quality is only fair, and in many
cases poor. A between-season short
age is blamed for this situation.
Squash also went up in price.
Strawberry m rk ings this
spring are expected to be a little
less than a year ago, due to small
er crops in California and LOuisi-
ana Local crops look very good, so
The picture in this area may change
o a plentiful supply as soon as
.hese berries reach our markets.
Fruits which are in good supply
this week are oranges, grapefruit,
pineapples,. bananas, coconuts and
apples.
Meat counters look very much
rs they did last week, with the best
buys being found among weekend
specials Just about every meat has
some cut on sale for weekend
shoppers.
The list of new food products
continues to grow. A quartet of
frozen fruit punch concentrates is
coming to market from California.
Strawberry-l e mon, grape-lempn,

To Discuss Problems
OF Children May 3

The first findings in the cOmpre-
hensive study of services to emo
tionally disturbed children in Del
aware will be reported at the Men
tai Health Luncheon to be held
Tuesday, May 8 in the Gold Ball
room of the Hotel DUPONT, it was
announced this week by Fred G..
Singer, president of the Mental
Health Association of Delaware.
DR.. Henry C. Schumacher, nation
ally known child psychiatrist, who
is serving as consultant for the
survey, will make the initial re-
port. DR.. Schumacher will be the
guest speaker at the luncheon, to
be attended by about 500 persons.
The survey, first of its kind in
Delaware, is being made jointly by
the Welfare Council and the Men,
tai Health Association, and has
been under way since last summer.
The study seeks answers to four
basic questions on extent of the
needs of Delaware children for
mental health services, the extent
to which these present needs are
being met, and what plans should
be made for the future.
Specifically, the survey is de-
signed to find reasonably accurate
answers to these four fundamental
questions:
(A) How many children (thrOugh
the age of II inclusive) are in need
of mental health services:
(pl Hnxxy nj ~o-
ferred for such services and to
whom?
(C) What is the extent and ma
ture of treatment procedures?
(D) How. can we wisely plan for
the future development of these
services in our community?
Under the guidance of DIR. Schu-
macher, the survey is being made
by a staff representing medicine,
psychiatry, psychology, social work
and the general community. Merton
Berger, executive director of the
Mental Health Association is head
ing the staff work, with Lloyd
Estes of the Welfare Council act
ing as consultant.
The first step in the surveys,
after it was planned and organized
was to contact all persons, agen-
cies and institutions in the field OF
mental health in Delaware to OBJ
tain information on the services
they are rendering, the number of
persons served, and other points.
Questionnaires, in tervie ws of
agency executives by the staff, and
record keeping by the cooperative
agencies, have all been part of the
work. This has been followed by
analysis and evaluation of the in
formation by group of qualified
professionals.
Now DR.. Schumacher is ready
| for the first report
The luncheon on May will be
the feature of the states obser-
vance of Mental Health Week,
which runs nationally from May
to z. Another event at the luncheon
will be an award for outstanding
service by volunteer psychiatric
aide.

Announcement was made this
week of the, forthcoming retire
ment of Mrs. Alice L. Stevenson
as Director of Nurses of the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital. G. R. Lo-
REM, administrator of the hOspi-
tai, in making the announcement
accepted Mrs. Stevenson's notifi-
cation of retirement with deep
personal and official regret. Her
service to the hospital has been
tireless and of quality of loyalty,
devotion to duty, and compassion
ate service for suffering human
ity completely consistent with the
ideals established by Florence
Nightingale in the early days of
nursing. Mrs. Stevenson, who was
a native of Lebanon, Pennsylva-
MIA. taught in public schools in
that county for nine years. She
attended Pennsylvania State Col
lege, which is now the Pennsylva-
MIA State University in Centre
County, Pennsylvania, Lebanon
Valley College, Annville, Pennsyl-
vania; Millersville State Teachers
College, Millersville, Pennsylvania.
She entered training in 1918 in the
Lankenau School of Nursing, Lam
kenau Hospital, Philadelphia. Upon
graduation in 1921, she worked as
a private duty nurse in that hos
pital until she came to Milford on
November 1, 1928. She began her
hospital career in Milford at the
Marshall Hospital as general
duty and Operating Room nurse
until November 1, 1884. She was
then employed as day supervisor
in the former Milford Emergency
Hospital. which has since been re-
located and renamed the Milford
Memorial Hospital. She held this
position until December 16, 1889,

May

May, which probably derives its name
from Maia, the mother of Mercury is the
last spring month. 1t is particular pleas
ant month in the United States, and most
countries and signifies the end of school for
millions of students.
The belief that May is an unlucky month
for marriage is a hangover from the old Ro-
man belief that the good goddess Fauna was
a prophetic divinity, who revealed her knOWl-
edge only to females And the festival of the
goddess was celebrated in May. Also, the
festival of the unhappy dead was also cele-
brated in that month. The month was not
supposed to be lucky for marriages because
of these two festivals.
Probably then, June became a popular
month for marriages, since it followed May,
and since marriages postponed probably took
place the following month, or in June.
The month of May contains many men,
orable dates in our history. First there is
the celebration of May Day, which is held in
many colleges and schools, and the custom of
electing May Queens. The custom probably
began in England, as a survival of the Ro-
man festivals
The Battle of Manila Bay was fought on
May /, 1898. That battle won ascendancy
for the United States fleet against the Span
ish in the Asiatic
The annual observance of Mothers Day,
of course, falls on the second Sunday, and
dates from 1907. Miss Anna M. Jarvis, of
Philadelphia, is responsible for gaining ma
tional acceptance Of the day, although Miss
Mary 7. Sasseen, a Kentucky school teacher,
probably arranged for the first observance
of the day, in 1906.
The Anglo-Saxons called May Thrimilce,
because in that month the COWS could be
MIXED three times day again. In all cOun-
tries, for many centuries, it seems that May
has been welcome month since it brings
flowers and warm weather and an end to the
lingering danger of bitter cold, which is al
ways present in April.

VITAL DISTINCTION


During the past year or so, business lead
ers throughout the country have been saying
over and over again that business people
must become politically active, if a needed
balancing force against the political work of
other groups is to be achieved.
Writing in Newsweek, Raymond Moley
has something important to say about the
matter His purpose Is to draw the distinc-
tion between business" and businessmen"
in politics.
In his words, "The distinction is vital.
The revival of interest among businessmen
in their civic and political responsibilities is
not, as some imagine, to bring back the days
of ruthless corporations striding heavy-boot-
ed over the planted fields of public interest.
Those days are gone forever, and no one
knows it better than management
"The interest of corporations and trade
associations which have developed programs
is to encourage political activity in the local
communities where management employees
live, Just as the unions have encouraged such
activity by their members. The objective is
the ideal of democratic government Every
body should have an active interest in the
nomination and election of those who run
their government"
Truly democratic government would not
last long if the masses of voters heard only
one side of controversial issues and candi-
dacies-whether that side by presented by
labor, or business, or agriculture, or any
other element. An informed electorate must
have full opportunity to hear all sides-and
that is Why businessmen are going into poll
tics.
CHANGES COMING IN BUSINESS
The American people, on the whole, have
bigger income than ever, and are spending
more money than ever. But this does not
mean that all the businesses which provide
goods and services are sharing with anything
resembling equality in this largesses. For
the public's spending habits undergo con-
tinual changes. A definite shift appears to be
4 going on at this time in the way people spend
their money. This shift in patterns of spend
ing accounts for some of the feeling of un-
certainty in business.
/ Two main factors account for that First,
! family debt is also at record levels, due both
to the size of the debt itself and to higher
interest rates. Second, the big families of
postwar years are growing up, and the bur-
den on family budgets reflects that pressure
This last is an Important matter. The
average annual cost of a child support is
$436 at age one, and twice that 1915, at age
Is. And when the young person goes to col
!, lege, the tab really becomes big. Current col
lege costs run ST ,200-$2, 900 year for each
student. Five years from now, if the recent
