The Lincoln Inaugural
Ball, scheduled for March 4
as a climax to the day-long
District of Columbia COM
lnemoration of the Civil War
Centennial, has been called
off.
The co-chairmen of the
ball, Mrs. John Sherman
Cooper, Mrs. Charles Bart
lett and Henry Dudley, no
sooner accepted the chair
menship on January 81 and
plunged into the business of
planning it, than they dis
covered several things:
/. That not enough ground
work had been done to in
sure the success Of a proper,
historical re-enactment of
President Lincoln's first In
augural Ball; 2. That there
was little or no chance of
lining up the desired enter
tainment to give the ball
prestige and meaning; 8.
That Washingtonians were
so debilitated by the 1861 in
augural festivities that there
were not enough ready work.

undertaking over in a mere
six weeks. (The Information
al Ball, which is the same
size, l.000-1.3 800, requires 10
months Of planning and the

Some Of the actors said the
other night they wished the
theater programs would in
clude a paragraph explaining
the actual historical back
ground of the play. Most
people have no idea that
Jones was hired by Catherine
the Great to fight the Turks.
I didn't realize it myself until
I sat beside Arthur Krock in
the theater and he said it was
all recounted in Casanova'S
Memoirs.
The party was held at the
Washington Club. where ia
bles had been set up in the
ballroom so that everybody
could sit, chat and sip in
comfort. This is the key, Of

Certified Seed Is
Cheap Insurance

How can a farmer be certain
he is planting the variety of a
crop he wants? How can he be
certain of clean seed which will
germinate we'll? According to Kent
county agent George Vapaa, the
answer to both questions is Ger
titled seed"
The biggest difference between
certified seed and ordinary seed
is that certified seed can be traced
back to the original breeders seed
and can thus be identified. Certi-
fled crops are inspected in the field
and laboratory to insure high
quality. Uneertified seed may not
be true-to-type and have the de-
sirable characteristics the farmer
needs for his farm.
Here's an illustration: Several
state agricultural experiment sta
tions ran field trials on a number
of sample lots of alfalfa seed All
the seed was labeled Ranger-and
plant breeders can tell true Ran
ger by certain growth habits. The
experiment stations found that all
but one lot of Certified Ranger
was true-to-type. approximately
half of the non-certified seed was
either mixed or not Ranger at all.
Always keep in mind" Mr.
Vapaa said that the blue tag of
certification indicates pure. high
quality seed of an identified var
iety."

Gov. Carvel PrOclaims
Evangelism Week

All Delawareans have been urg-
ed by Governor Elbert N. Carvel
TO assist in the important work
with our youth" that is a part of
the current nationwide observance
of National Child Evangelism
Week"
In a statement issued at Dover
this week, Governor Carvel point
ed out that "our hopes for UniVer-
sal Peace and a better world to-
morrow are represented in our
young people of today" ''If these.
he continued, ''are properly guided
towards a broader understanding
of spiritual values our continuance
as a great Nation will be assured. -
National Child Evangelism
Week" is sponsored by the Child
Evangelism Fellowship, a non-sec-
tartan and interdenominational
movement, and has as its basic
purpose the reaching of children
who are without church affiliation
and the establishing for them Of
home or neighborhood Bible class
es. The Delaware branch of the
Fellowship maintains offices at 12-

presently operates t thirt y-two

Bible classes for an estimated six
hundred children are conducted.
The full text of Governor Car

and a better world tomorrow are
represented in our young people
of today. If these-our future lead
ers-are properly guided towards
a broader understanding of spirit

1T has been established that de-
linquency occurs more frequently
among those children who lace the
comforting influence. the inspira-
tion and the knowledge that comes
from Bible Teaching. On the other
hand, those young people who have
firm spiritual commitment are
better equipped to meet their re-
sponsibilities-both present and

that passed before him. Happiness
and tragedy alike came into the
range of his vision as his eyes
day he observed deeply disturb
ed young man talking to a young
girl sitting with him on a park
bench. He read the young mans
lips as he sobbed out these tragic
words, I'VE can never, never be
married; / am giving back your
ring. just came back from the
doctor and he told me that / have
tuberculosis. He says / might be
cured if / could go to a more fav-
orable climate and have adequate
medical care. But it is all so
hopeless do not have the mon
ey." And then he lifted up his
face toward heaven and prayed
God that he might live.
The musicians eyes caught the
prayer through his glasses and
was so moved by it that he dis
patched his servant to the park to
give the sick young man the mon
ey he needed This experience
oA(h anu lOl
to his heart that day by day he
watched the lips of people in the
park and many a tale of sorrow
found a happy ending by the mon
ey he gave. AS time went by he
forgot his own tragedy by should
ering others burdens and needs
At last, along the way of loving
service bitterness and resentment
faded and God Himself dawned
upon him like the breaking of a
new day. Loving man whom he
had seen he came to love God
Whom he had not seen.
And now the great purpose in
telling this chain of incidents is
to exalt the glory of the unselfish
life 1t was indeed the kind of
life that Jesus lived He went
about doing good Sometimes it
seems TO me that He was always
STOPPING stopping To help lift the
burdens OF others, STOPPING to put
healing touch upon the brow of
those who were sick, STOPPING to
raise the crippled from the dust.
STOPPING to lay the hand of for
giveness upon a penitent's head.
And as He lived so He taught,
telling US that the way of loving
! God is by way of loving our fell
lowmen for as John puts il, ''He
that loveth not his brother whom
he hath seen, how can he love
God Whom he hath not SEEM"
And now a parting question :
Have you found the glory of the
] unselfsh life?
