Kent County has undergone a
similar transition in suburban land
uses since 1887. Housing develop
ments, industrial and commercial
sites, highways, airports, and rail-
roads covered only GIL acres at
that time. BY 1858, these uses ac-
|copnted for 1884 acres Vaughn
says that construction of the 1000
acre Dover Air Force Base was re-
Isponsible for most of this change.
In addition, a large acreage a s
'been utilized for the 5000 subur-
ban homes built in Kent County
between 1910 and 1860. New high
ways involving an increase of
about 2,200 acres have constituted
another important form of subur-
ban development.
Sussex County also has had q
period of steadily advancing u b.
urbanization. Land in suburban
uses stood at 10,401 acres in 1897.
BY 1858, these uses comprised 49,
IT'S acres. Much of this increase
has been caused by new highway
construction (4,306 acres). More
than 1000 new suburban h m
built in Sussex County during the
period 1940-60 accounts for anoth-
er major portion of the land use
change.
Standardization is continuing its
progress throughout the State,
Vaughn says, but at perhaps a
slower rate than in previous years.
Delaware housing construction a
primary contributing factor in the
States suburbanization has. been
at a lower level fewer housing
startsl in the past few years than
during the peak years around 1855,
according to reports Of the U. S.
Department of Commerce. In New
Castle County alone, records COM
piled by the County Regional Plan
ming and Zoning Commission show
that land in approved final plots
of suburban housing developments
increased by only 725 acres an
nually from July 1858 through
June 1862, compared with LOO
acres annually from July 1852
through June 1858.

Homemukers Have
New Sense Of Values

NEW YORK (AP) A new
sense of values in home furnish
ing, which has little to do with
status symbols or the old fashion
ed Keep-Up-with-Jones routine, is
upgrading the American standard
of living.
This conclusion was reached by
home specialists who spoke at a
conference held by the Coopera-
tive Extension Service. The wom-
en- in attendance are associated
with land grant universities, and
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture.
Many people in my state be-
lieve they owe it to their children
to have nice home," said Rosa
Johnston, University of Massachu-
setts.
Observed IneZ Lovelace, Univer-
slty of Tennessee, "The amazing
thing is the new sense of values.
Young people have learned to let
entire rooms go unfurnished until
they can afford to have good things
and rather than fill them up with
a lot of cheap things"
A guest speaker, designer Jens
Risom, applauded this new attitude
emphasizing that good design and
good quality almost always go to-
gether.
He also added that a rooms per-
sonalaty comes from it's accessor-
les but Grace Kampen, University
of California, lamented that manu-
facturers are not producing h e
kind that should enable a home
maker to exercise her imagination.

School News

Mr.. Drucker Room 100 Fifth
Grade
On Friday, the, seventh of Sep
tember, the class began a study on
Indians. The class divided in o
committees, and each committee
decided to study a different tribe.
The chilren went to the library
to look up information about the
different tribes, but found h t
there was little information in the
school library on the tribes chos-
en-. Then the children decided to
write for information. For example
the class found out that the Mo-
hawks today are experts in build
ing sky scrapers, they have All
clubs, sheriff, their own fir e
fighting units, and their own hos
pitfalls. Some of the children made
projects such as, Frank Kirbys'
Iroquois long house.
In arithmetic, we have two
groups. One is studying two place
multiplication and one is doing
two place division Each day one
of the groups does boardwork
while the other group does written
assignments.
Toward the end of September
the class started to study insects.
The group brought in different
kinds of insects such as, ants, fly
ing ants, grasshoppers, ambush
bugs, stink bugs, crickets, cocoons,
caterpillars, beetles, bees, wasps,
and butterflies. Everyone looked
at the three different parts of an
ants body, also, the class borrow
ed the schools micro protector and
saw live spiders leg moving.
Everybody in the room learned
that certain insects have different
living habits.
For example, if a queen bee dies
without a new queen ready to take
her place, there usually are eggs
laid that the workers can m k e
into queen by special feeding. The
class understood that some insects
live by themselves while others
live in colonies.
Besides doing schoolwork t h e
class has been planning to have a
Christmas party In late Novem-
ber the class started to work on
the project. They volunteered or
committees such as: games, o d,
invitations, decorations, reception
and cleanup. Everyone is looking
forward to having their parents
attend the party.

Stofe Suburban Areos
Scene Of impressive
Land Use Changes

Delaware's modern trend toward
suburban living has transformed
nearly $4,000 acres of rural land
into housing developments, indus
trial and commercial sites, high
ways. airports, and railroads be-
tween 1887 and 1858, according to
Gerald F. Vaughn, u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture economist at
the University of Delaware. Citing
statistics from land use studies
conducted by the University in the
late 1930's and similar research
completed recently by. the Univer-
sity in cooperation with the u. S.
Department of Agriculture, he in
dicates that these suburban ! a d
uses in Delaware amounted to "a
LAP acres in 1887 and 67,091 acres
in 1853.
The more than $1,000 acres in
suburban land use in 1858 was
about twice the acreage in incor-
porated municipalities, which was
5000. However, suburban areas
and incorporated municipalities to-
gether covered only eight per cent
of Delaware'si land area in 1858.
New Castle County has ex-
perienced the most notable subur-
ban development since 1887. Sub
urban land use comprised only
1870 acres in that year; by 1858
it had reached 35.42e acres ap-
proximately half of the States sub
urban land. Most of this expansion
an estimated $4,000 acres was as
sociated with land utilized for the
10000 new homes constructed out
side incorporated municipalities in
New Castle County between 1910
and 1860. Vaughn says. Construc-
tion of more than $500 acres of
new highways ana increases in in
dustrial-commerical acreage were
other leading land use shifts DUR
ing this period.

Miss Kampen feels too that there
is too much stress on what is "in"

"Wall-to-wall carpet may be out
in some areas. But it is the per-
feet solution to California concrete

People are exposed to more de-
corating information, but there is
always a lack of knowledge in
many areas because things change
so rapidly, pointed out Evelyn
Harley, University of Connecticut.
But some things, like color real
ly do not change, declared another
guest speaker, Dorothy Liebe, tex
tile designer.
''It is the way it is used that is
different. There is no such thing
as bad color, just bad color COM
binations."
Miss Liebes also said that a bet
