Control Of jap Beetle
CrUbs In Your Lawns

How would you like to be able
TO roll up your lawn and bring it
in at night?
Japanese beetle grubs will make
it easy-by eating the roots of
your lawn grasses.
Associate County Agent Ed
Ralph says that in severe
Japanese beetle infestation, til
roots are severed TO such an ex-
tent that the grass can actually
be lifted or rolled from the ground.
The grub, in case you don't asso-
ciate that name with a bug. is
white fleshy worm with a dark
brown head and legs. When un-
covered, he assumes a character
istic curved position.
Not only can Japanese beetle
grubs kill large patches of grass.
but they also invite damage from
moles, skunks, and crows. These
animals are fond of grubs and dig
or burrow into the turf after them
Chlordane or dieldrin are among
the best insecticides to use for
Japanese beetle control. The best
time to apply the insecticide is
before May 1st Be sure to follow
the directions on the label, Ralph
says.
After the insecticide has been
applied, Ralph recommends water
ing the area thoroughly to work
the chemical well into the soil
where it must be in order to kill
the grubs This is also a safety
measure to remove the material
from the surface of the lawn, out
Of reach of children and pets.
The chemicals are slow acting
but usually kill the grubs in 3 to
10 weeks The protection will last
for to 5 years

Safety Council Notes

Home accidents can be reduced,
and safety officials will show how
at the statewide Delaware H ON
Safety Conference at Dover on
May 9.
Mrs. William \. Cam, vice pres
idena for home safety of the Della
ware Safety Council declared yes
terday: This is not just another
meeting. This is means of get
ting across to opeople who need it,
and all of us do, information ofn
how to prevent needless injuries
and death in home accidents
There are too many home acci-
dents, Mrs. Cam said. In the first
two months of this year more Del
awareans died in home accidents
than in highway accidents, she
pointed out. That is one reason the
Delaware Safety Council is holding
the home safety conference.
1t will open at 9:15 am. at the
Treadway Inn, and there will be
morning and afternoon sessions
and luncheon recess Experts in
various fields will emphasize re-
duction of accidents. The Safety
Council hopes many organizations
will send representatives who will
be able to report back on what
they have learned.
DR.. Raymond A Lynch, A Wilm-
ington surgeon, will tell the con-
ference about reducing home falls
the most frequent cause of fatal
accidents to elderly opeple at
home.
State Fire Marshal William Fav-
niger, will explain how to reduce
fire hazards at home.
Austin c. Chidester, field repre-
sentative of the Safety Council
will discuss how to get the mes
sage on home safety across effec-
lively.
Other subjects to be covered in
clude power tools, electrical ap-
pliances, preserving eyesight, d
helping children to play safely at
home
j. H. Tyler Mcconnell. president
of the Safety Council, will open
the meeting and Mrs. Cam will
preside.

coming down, eyes might be dim
med with tears The old rooms are
hallowed by memories of good old
days now gone beyond recall, days
of growing children, plighted trothS
and jolly groups about the family
hearth The rooms are hallowed,
too, by fond farewells when hush
ed steps followed loved ones from
these doors to what Whittier calls
'the low green tent whose curtain
never outward swings" Sad, you
say? Yes, and yet these walls sing
"Resurgam, / will rise again" and
herein lies solace for a bleeding
heart.
And over it all hovers the halo
of Easter with its promise of a
resurrection. Like an old house
my body, too, will be torn down
and over it will be intoned the
litany of death-"e earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
And that is ALL" says unbelief.
But faith comes and over the
Christians grave it writes, "Re-
surgam, l will rise again" All
this is beautifully illustrated by
a narrative from the closing days
of John Quincy Adams, sixth pres
ident of the United States. AS an
aged man, friend accosted him
one day and said, Good morning;
and how is John Quincy Adams
today?" Thank YOU" was the re-
ply, John Quincy Adams is we'll
quite well, thank you. But the
house in which he lives is be-
coming delapidated. l think John
Quincy Adams will have to move
out before long, but he himself
is well, quite we'll"
What a beautiful recognition
that man primarily is soul and
not body! The body is merely a
house for the soul to live in and
like an old parsonage it may be-
come uninhabitable and need to
be torn down. But like the house
it will be built again, and be-
lieving this we say in the words
of our creed Il believe in the
resurrection Of the body"
And SO the old parsonage preach
ed valedictory, a farewell sermon
as it came tumbling down. With
its foundation walls as its pulpit,
with the carpenters hammers as
the great organ, with its dislodged
stones and falling timbers it gave
voice to wonderfully fine Ear
ter promise-"R "Resurgam, | will
rise again"

THE PROMISE OF EASTER
"Yea. though l walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, 1
will fear no evil" Psalm 23:4.

1t was a dreary, rainy day of
early autumn. We were walking a
bit aimlessly-a friend and IA
bout the streets of London, when
suddenly from the filth and fog
of this great city the dome of
the Cathedral of ST. Paul lifted
itself above us. 1t is SO beautiful
that another observer has called
it poem in stone. We wasted
no time to enter and convenient
guide told us many things about
this interesting structure. Among
other things he informed us that
ST. Pauls had risen from the ashes
of previous building that was
destroyed by fire. Here it was
interesting to learn that when they
were salvaging some of the stones
of the old church, the first stone
uncovered was a fragment of an
old sarcophagus on which had
been inscribed the single word
'R sur g M which translated
means, Il will rise again" And
this stone was incorporated into
the wall of the new structure as
finely prOphetical of the present
cathedral
| thought of this again when
some years later the congregation
| was serving at that time was
engaged in a rather extensive
building program. This program in
cluded the erection of a new par
sOnage to supplant an old house
grown decrepit by long and honor
ed service | stood by at times
to watch this old home being
torn down AS the dust and litter
of plaster and lath came tumbling
down, behind the sound of the
workmen's hammers and the rapid
beating of my own heart, l seemed
to hear again the words l had
learned to know at ST. Paurs of
London, "Resurgam; I will rise
again" Any regrets / may have
had was alleviated by the thought
that new and finer residence
would rise for me in the stead of
the old parsonage.
1t cannot be denied that an
element of sadness enters when
an old structure of this kind falls
prey to time and the wreckers. If
all who lived here could see it
