Representative Robert
Barry of New York wants
members of Congress to ac-
Qatre a vacation parS5ise oI:
an. island in the Atlantic
Ocean, to which they can
repair for long week ends to
soothe their summer-frazzled
nerves.
One Of the prime movers
in last years unsuccessful at
tempt to get a summer recess
fof Congress, Mr.. Barry now
has taken this new tack.
Unable to persuade his fell
low.legislators that they
ought to quit and go home
for two months each sum-
nieE the New Yorker wants
them to join him on Fishers
Island, a select island retreat
five miles out in the Atlantic
where the Barry family has
gone for years.
Fixing time from Washing
tom to New London, Conn,
the nearest land point, is just
two hours, followed by a two
minute hop to the island in
a small plane. Or there is a
45-minute ferry ride.
The Congressman has his
eve on a rambling, roomy
house, next door to his own,
which he thinks would fill
the bill nicely for his col
leagues - if they can get to-
gether and raise the neces-
sary $135,000. For that they
can buy the house, completely
furnished.
They may not even have to
raise it., Mr.. Barry is con-
sidering trying to interest
some foundation in picking
up part or all Of the tab for
the vacation retreat. on the
grounds that it will benefit
the Nation.
Congressmen with frazzled
nerves are likely to pass the
bills, Mr.. Barry believes. Re-
freShed from a week end Of
relaxation, he thinks, they
could do a better job.
The house, which is called
Windshield, has sat vacant
for several years because its
owner, wealthy New Yorker
John Nicholas Brown, now
prefers to live in Newport,
Mr.. Barry says. 1t has IA
bedrooms and three big
sleeping porches.
"It hurts me to see that
great, lovely house going to
waste while Congressman sit
in Washington and Swelter
on the week ends" Mr.. Barry
says.
A sizeable group could be
accommodated each week
end in the house, he pointed
out.
The island is a sports
, mans paradise" the New
Yorker said. 1t sits fright in
the middle of the finest fish
ing area on the Eastern Sea-
board" and there also is
boating, swimming, golf and
tennis.
Other features include a
stunning view from all four
sides Of the house, a card
room, a den, and a playroom
with a built-in soda fountain.

Councilnen Oppose
New Test Well Here

Councilmen say they don't want
to spend about $4,000 for a well
they say they don't need.
That was the answer recently of
two members of council to a propo-
sition of the geological survey team
of the University of Delaware
which has suggested test borings
to seek a flowing stream at 900
feet.
The test boring would cost about
$4,000. Cost of a we'll, if a profit
able water supply were found, was
estimated at more than $4,000.
The third wards Clayton Kirby
said Milford shouldn't spend $4,000
on an experiment. The last well
drilled here cost $4,000, he said.
and another well, if needed, should
be developed for less than $4,000.
Councilman Calvin Ball of the
second ward said the test was too
expensive, there was no guarantee
that a sufficient flow of water
would be found and there is no
present water shortage Wells had
been cleaned this spring, he said,
and while they were not in use
there was an ample water supply.

All Is Largest
Rural Youth Group

Four-H has become the largest
rural youth organization in t h e
world. Bill Pinnell, county All a.
gent explains the program is or
ganized in every state in h e
United States as we'll as Puerto
Rico. Seventy countries III h e
world have adopted the All Club
idea. Tis extensive coverage prompt
the question, What is Al? ?"
1t is the youth program of the
Cooperative Extension Service, o f
girls between the ages of 10 and
II. The Club program provides
training in leadership, citizenship,
and character development, a n g
with skills in agriculture, h o m Q
economies, and related fields The
program is designed to meet the
interests of both rural and urban
youth.
Four-H'ers elect their own club
officers, plan and conduct h e i r
meetings, and special events. Guild
ance is given by volunteer leaders,
local adults who serve the COM
munity by helping the youth groups
with their educational programs.
Each All member conducts t
least one project in either agricul-
ture, or home economics, or relat-
ed fields. There are many projects
which provide opportunities for ur-
ban and rural youth as we'll at diff
ferent age levels. Examples of pro-
ject areas are clothing, foods, gar
dening, livestock, electricity, d
handicraft.
In addition to project work, All
members enjoy the experiences of
camping, tours, social meetings,
recreation, county meetings, trips
and awards.
The term "4-H' refers to Head,
Heart, Hands, and Health, the four
words around which the education
al objectives of the All program
are centered, Pinnell explains.
The Head H" relates to learn
ing the value of science and the
results of research through apply
ing the latest scientific knowledge
