That, however, is not the reaS-
on for his retirement, as the ven-
cradle merchant is quick to point
out.
Don't say that I'm old and de-
crepit," he said with a wink. "Just
say. that the whole concept of
farming has changed, and there's
no longer a need for store like
this"
He pointed out that, while in
years past the residents of the
area lived and worked on farms
and depended on the local store
for staples, today blocks of
farms are titled by large operators
and the people who live on the
farms usually work in Dover, Mil
ford or Seaford. They do their
shopping near their work where
they can get better assort-
ment.
The city supermarkets may have
the edge variety-wise on "Thomp-
sons Store but they'll never
match the picturesque quality.
The 1O0-year-old building is a
tiny, weathered structure located
about five miles northeast of Mil
ford, near Bowers and Big Stone
Beaches. 1t is located at the juno
tion of two country roads, with
the addition of a cutoff behind the
store isolating the building from
adjoining tracts of land.

Howard Furniture Company,
Route Is, Dover Bypass, is
sponsoring an Art Exhibit of the
paintings of Mrs. Lorene Kohut.
The show will last thru this Sat-
urday.
Mrs. Kohut, mother of three
young children, is the wife of
T-Sgt. Mike Hohut, stationed at
the Dover Air Base.
Mrs. Kohut started her study
ing of painting in night classes
at the Houston, Texas Art Mu-
scum. Her first paintings were
exhibited in the Houston Art
Museums student art exhibit in
lo48.
The Joined the WACS In l948,
The Army used her talents in
making training charts while
she was assigned to the Illus
tration Branch of the Chemical
Course School In Baltimore.
She turned In her uniform for
an apron when her husband;
whom she met in Baltimore, was
transferred by the u. S. Air
Force to the Philippines. After
their tour in the Philippines,
they moved to New York and
Mrs. Kohut attended art lect-
ures for TWO years. She worked
under the guidance of the out
standing artists, Coulton Waugh
and John Gould.
Then theywere transferred to
Okinawa. How to keep busy while
on Okinawa was no problem for
Lorene. She became interested
in the sea and wanted to paint
1t ''just right" and that meant
hours of studying the waves as
they Tapped at the rocky Okin-
avian shore. 1t took seven
months to paint her first sea-
scape.
She would sit for hours and
watch the waves break during a
storm and then 60 home and
paint from memory. Fellow stu
dents did not share her pen
chant for putting the ocean on
canvass. They said, "The water
was right there, so why paint
it2"
But apparently the art judges
didn't agree with the students,
for TWO of Lorene's seascapes
we're selected for the Okiten Art
Exhabit, a collection of paint
ings from top artists of the
Ryukyu Islands. She was es-
pecially proud of their selection
because they we're the only non
abstract paintings chosen for
the exhibit.
In Okiniawa, she held four
one man art shows and had a
painting put on display in an
exhibit in Japan. Her seascapes
we're the best known, but she
also did landscapes and por-
traits.
When asked why she didn't
wear a tag during her
exhibits, Mrs. Kohut replied,

visitors reach my self-por-

Dear Sir:
I do not believe God wants us
to mix with the Scotch-I Irish, else
why did he put them off on lit
tie island by themselves? They do
not want indignation any more
than we do. l love the Scotch
Irish, but only if they stay in the
place God appointed for them. A
careful reading Of the Holy Bible
will show you Gods stand on seq
regation. John 22-19 and Mark
17:15 tell us what the Master said
on the subject.
The Scotch Irish have onl y
been in this country two hundred
years. Before that they lived in
the highlands of Scotland, totally
without washing machines, cleo
trio lights, automobiles, and all the
other basic elements Of civiliZa-
ton, and dressed only in the
rudest sort of kits. Furthermore,
I maintain that after two hun
dred years, they are still Scotch
Irish, and no amount of civiliza-
ton will change the fact. I think
l need not point out to you the
basic immortality Of their charac-
tiers. There is hardly one OF
them that does not get divorced
and eat meat on Fridays. Their
music, as typified by such dances
as the jig or the highland fling,

the highlands from whence they
came.

for me. May the Lord take me

am willing to grant that the
Scotch-Irish have given us a few
great men-like Andrew Carne-

but for the most part they have
shamefully wasted the opportuni-
ties that our great land has given
them.
Again, let me repeat: let the
rabblerousers do what they may,
the Scotch-Irish were meant to
till the soil: God has appointed it
Genesis 52-:2). We are kind to
them. let them keep their place.

Double Indemnity
In Ketch Death

MIAMI, Fla, July 7 (AP).-
A Federal judge has ruled that
Travellers Life Insurance Co.
must pay a $4,000 double in
demnity policy for the BLUE
belle" death of Mrs. Mary
Harvey last November IL.
Although yesterdays ruling
did not elaborate, the action
in effect, held that Mrs. Har-
vey died other than a natural
death when the ketch BLUE
belle" sank in Bahamas Island
waters carrying five persons to
their deaths.
Only the captain, Julian A.
Harvey, and Terry 10 Dup
perault. IL. survived. Capt.
Harvey killed himself upon
learning of Terry JOS rescue.
In yesterdays action, Judge
Emett c. Choate gave admin
istrators for the estates of
Capt. Harvey and his wife 10
days to decide how to divide
the $4,000.
The company had asked the
court to rule on the death of
Mrs. Harvey and the cause.
Other victims of the Blue
belle" sinking were Arthur
Dnpperault, A; his wife, Jean,
SO; their son, Brian, IA, and
their daughter, Rene, Z. Only
Rene'S body was recovered.
Capt. Harvey had taken her
body into his dinghy.
