minds us TO take a renewed look
at our Homemakers Greed.
ITO fashion from simple every
day material a house of comfort
and cheer: to create through toll
erance and wholesome interests
a home OF peace and pleasure; to
inspire respect for the lowly du-
ties of daily life: and to kindle
love and understanding OF people
and all expressions of beauty
Our calendar OF events for 1860
helped to add new meaning to
our "Homemakers Creed"
Credits Personality" and Get
ting Ready for Retirement" re-
mind us to keep our eye on pres
ent budget and future money
wise.
Electricity and your Applian-
ces" brought us the problem of
having the right wiring ard volt
age for our appliances.
Light for Sight" recalled our
school days health class that we
should have proper lighting for
all of our tasks around the house.
"Teen-Age Nutrition" had US
trying new recipes and put some
changes In our age-old problem

Becoming Clothes" found we
were not clothes conscious enough
and had a tendency to overdress.
Now we use the point system as
a basic.
Catching Up with Textiles"
helped us solve some OF our laun-
dering problems of the new fab
RIGS.
To our amazement. se were
not all thumbs when we made
our beautiful feather hats.
A trip to New York and our
covered dish luncheon and dinner
added fun to 1860 for our famil-

During the past two and a half
years, thousands of girls, seven
years old through high school age,
have planted more than a million
ard a half trees, cared for count
less seedlings, worked to prevent
erosion. built hundreds of shell
ters for birds and other wildlife,
cleared and planted innumerable
recreation areas. Our state, along
with each of the other forty-nine
states, has benefited from this fine
conservation program.

Senator Harvey Spicer of
Georgetown, chairman of the meet
/ ing, had a statement read ex-
pressing the views of committee
which looked into the aspects of
using TV Channel II for educa-
/ tional programming. IL was the
general feeling of the group that
/ this channel should be allocated

with the promise of as much time
/ for educational programs as would
be required. with no expense to
i the state. Alternate proposals
would cost the state from one to

/ ing to the best estimates A SEN
ate committee hearing is schedul-
ed to examine the educational TV
proposals on Wednesday, March
Is, at 2:30 p. m, in Dover.
Representative William Best of
Nassau called the attention of the
group TO the very serious erosion
problems facing the Delaware
coastline. II was pointed out that
the proposed highway bond bill
now before the Legislature pro-
vides only $350.OO0 for erosion con-
troll and that no definite plans
have been made to use even this
inadequate amount The past win
ter was estimated to have caused
more erosion damage than any in
the past forty to fifty years. I'm
less constructive efforts are made
to correct the problem, two or
three more hard winters may do
irreparable damage to the beach
es. one of Delaware's important
commercial activities.
A proposal to appoint a COM
mittee made up of number OF
civil engineers living in Sussex
County along with officials of the
various communities most direct
" threatened by the erosion prob
lem was approved This citizens
committee will study the problem
from technical. political, and eco
nomic angles in order to prepare
specific plan of action for pre-

A copy of a letter written by
Senator Reynolds DUPONT of Will
mington to Governor Carvel was
read. in which the Governor was
urged to take measures for Della
ware to arrive at a compace with
New Jersey authorities concern
ing the Delaware Memorial Bridge
tolls agreement before the bridge
bonds are paid off within the next
few years. 1t was urged that the
tolls be continued, the money TO
be used for construction of addi-
tional bridges, the need for which
is becoming increasingly evident,
along with. the ferry line from
New Jersey to Lewes which has
been under consideration. Failure
to come to such an agreement
with the State of New Jersey will
result in many additional facili-
ties being paid for by taxation.
A number of other matters of
general legislative interest were
briefly discussed by the group.
The members of the House and
Senate expressed their apprecia-
tion of the views given by the
group. along with their hope that
all interested Republicans will at
tend future meetings and make
their feelings known.
