CAN OUR YOUTH BE FOOLED?

American youth is being wooed by the
Communists.
J. Edgar Moover of the FBI, reports: "In
1859, the Communist Party, u. S. A. launch
ed a major campaign with youth as its tar
get. The purpose was to devise
program to attract young blood-teenagers,
students, and working youth-to the ranks
of the Party. The Party began operating
what amounted to a regular lecture bureau,
with Party spokesmen seizing every oppor-
tunity to project their views on compuses
across the country.
Further illustrating the tremendous drive
the Party is making to infltrate student
groups is the agenda for youth conference
the Party held in Chicago, June 11-12, 1860.
The major points on the agenda for the two
day conference were (D mass developments
on the campus and (2) left-student develop
ments'. Discussed in relation to these points
were ways and means by which young Com
munsists could exploit such controversial is
sues on campuses as civil rights, academic
freedom, and other so-called peace issues" I"
The Communist threat frim without must
not blind us to the Communist threat from
within, which, if successful, would wipe out
the very things Communism processes to pro-
mote, namely, civil rights, academic freedom
and peace issues.

Hundreds" Confuse
Newcomers To State

500 years ago or earlier. Generally
smaller than a shire or county but
larger than a parish or town, they
were mentioned in English litera-
ture as early as the thirteenth
century.
Most likely hundreds were es-
tablished in Delaware in the time
of William Penn who took pos
session of Penn's Sylvania, which
included the Three Lower Coun-
ties on the Delaware, in 1852.
Today, a hundred in Delaware is
a subdivision of land, unincorpo-
rated and without elected or ap-
pointed officials. Each of the three
counties in the state contains ten
hundreds and each is a Represen-
tative District politically. Each of
the thirty hundreds is represent
ed in the legislature by an elected
representative; these, plus five ad-
ditional representatives from the
City of Wilmington. comprise the
Lower House of Delaware's Gen.

The Delaware Insurance Com

meaningless until you become one

us with fire is limited to hearing
screaming sirens or watching rae

somebody else's fire. Most Ameri-

as Fire Prevention Week. There

ing to do about all this?
/ 1. We can smoke but keep in
mind that careless smoking habits
are responsible for. one-fourth o1

2. We can get rid of rubbish be-
fore somebody accidentally drops
a match in it.
g. We can keep open paint cans
outdoors and store gasoline, kero-
sene or fiammable cleaning fluids
only in tightly covered containers
and in well-ventilated places.
A. Sweepings from your vacuum
cleaner should be wrapped tightly
| in paper in order to avoid forma-
ton of dust cloud that will ex-
plode when it hits a fire.
5. We should be doubly careful
about stoves and furnaces and
have them checked thoroughly be-
fore lighting a fire. Worn, rusted
or broken heater parts should be
replaced.
6. Chimney should be checked
fer loose bricks and cracks and
SCOT should be cleaned from both
