sex symbol in the cinema. The
inclination was to dismiss her
as such.
If there was an occasional
fleeting assertion of comedy
talent - and there was - this
was attributed to the skill OF
her directors.
In the course Of time, the
reiteration Of this attribution
established the myth that the
film reviewers were the last to
discover Miss Monroe.
A myth is all this cliche ever
was. Actually, the first time
the critics saw Miss Monroe on
her own and in head-on compe-
tition with an authentic come
dian, the reviewers pounced
gleefully on the visible evidence
that she possessed the true
flair of being a funny girl. The
picture was the 1853 production,
How to Marry A Millionaire, u
its theme the strategy Of three
attractive working girls in
trapping males capable of pro-
viding them the standard of
luxury they deemed their due.

stars were Lauren Bacall and
Betty Cradle, both older and,
by repute, more polished COM
edy performers. Playing a be-
specialized, near-Sighted Carl
cature of the sex symbol she
was supposed to be, Miss
Monroe walked away with the
picture with the nations most
exacting reviewers as her en-
thusiastic heraldS.
The girl whose press agents
labeled her "a delicious dish
was suddenly established as
something a lot more impress
sive to film critics, a girl with a
hilarious flair for satirizing the
thing she was supposed to be.
There remained the follow
up, Of course; the need to prove
that this was not one Of those
inspired accidents. It came in
the next year in THE Seven
Year Itch" in which Miss
Monroe topped her Million
aire" performance as the allur-
ing innocent in the fashionable
flat lust above that Of worldly
Tom Ewell in George Axelrod's
sexy comedy. She was great, no
less, in this role and even
greater in her next one, the
naive chorus girl in william
Inge'S Bus Stop"
She had found her milieu in
roles in which, in effect, she
could mock the publicity image
which created her first box
office appeal. In such parts,
she was visibly a girl enjoying
herself, most Supremely of all
in the big money film of 1859,
Some Like 1t Hot"
That picture, incidentally,

Delaware Observes
Old Christmas Customs

While Delaware does not have
many Christmas customs that
differ from those of adjacent
areas, there are a few note
worthy customs that have been
continued from earlier eras
advises the Delaware State De-
velopment Department.
One of Delaware's most dis
tinctive Christmastime customs
is In evidence around historic
Dover Green where the windows
of governmental buildings and
private residences are still ira
ditionally Illuminated on Christ
mas Eve and through most of the
Yuletide period. While electric
candles with clear bulbs are
used now, the custom is very
old, dating back to the era of
functional rather than decora-
tive wax candles. The candles
are displayed in each window of
the Old State House, the Kent
County Court House, other pub
ncly owned buildings, and
number of private homes.
While specific contemporary
practices cannot be documen-
ted, "Old Christmas" Uanu-
airy 6th) was observed in some
parts of Sussex County until
recently. Preserved In the State
Archives are "reminiscences of
a deceased elderly women, who
remembered her well-to do
farmer father entertaining his
tenants, In the 1905 at a boun-
tiful turkey dinner each January

continued throughout his adult
life, as well as that of his
neighbors. This Sussex County

century after adoption of the

FARM ORGANIZATION AN
NUAL MEETINGS cut a wide
swath in early December. Now
we'll get a breather until after
the Christmas holidays.
The effect of the new Euro
pean Common Market on Del
aware farm products has been
a highlight at many of these
sessions. Robert Rider, of
Bridgeville suggests that our
farm interests should give clo-
ser, direct support to our State
Department negotiation offic-
ials. Bob has been working on
apple exports as the secretary
of the Delaware Apple Commits J.
sion, and with the National Ap-
pie Institute.
Very briefly, the ECM will
eventually lead to a United States
of Western Europe. Trade walls
are being broken down between
member nations. and erected
against non-members. The USA
will have to scratch to hold its
balance of trade. Broiler, soy
bean. grain and fruit prices are
directly affected IN Delaware.
The world is getting smaller.
Perhaps our needed interde-
pendence may yet win the peace
on earth for which man hungers.

Lamps Make
Family Gifts

If shopping for family gift
has you stumped, look in the
lamp department. suggests Miss
Coral Morris, Home Manage
ment Specialist, University of
Delaware.
If you want portable lamp
that will be attractive and do a
good job, its's wise to check
the total design of the lamp.
Be sure the shade is suited
to the use of the lamp. For
such tasks as reading, an opaque
shade is more desirable than
translucent one. However, for
such tasks as putting on make
up, a translucent shade is pre-
ferable. All shades should con-
ceal the location of the lighted
bulb.
Whatever type or color you
choose, be sure the inside of
the shade is white. White re-
fleets light best and also re-
duces glare.
Shades that are a little larger
In diameter at the bottom than
at the top distribute light up
and down more satisfactorily
than others.
Look for diffusing device. 1t
may be one or two metal discs
or a glass bowl. Or it may be
wide harp to be used with a
diffusion = type incandescent.
bulb. The diffuser directs some
light to the ceiling, which re-
fleets it back as indirect light.
This means less glare.
Look for a two or three way
switch. 1t will permit more
flexibility In light quantity than
single switch.
Check the placement of the
light bulb socket. 1t should be
slightly below or at the lower
edge of the shade to insure
wider spread of light across the
task.
Check the height of the lamp.
Whether it is to be placed on
low or high table, the height of
the table plus the distance from
the lamp base to the bottom of
the shade should measure 40 to
AZ inches from the floor. This
will put the bottom of the shade
at about the eye level of the
seated person. The bottom of a
floor lamp shade should gen
orally be about AZ inches from
the floor.

Four of the commissioner:

Mr.. Elman said any violation

filed the complaint in the first
place but, instead, should have
devoted its limited manpower
