Heflin wasn't unaware of Hazam's
capabilities as script writer prior to
the show. James Mason called me up
one night" says Heflin, and told me
to drop everything and watch great
show on Van Gogh on TV."
Van is an actor who doesn't succumb
easily to the lure of name" writer.
He did three playhouse COS" during
the course of that series and turned
down all assignments on first offering.

"They (the authors and producer
Priestley) learned that my mo- really

other actor who could play it, and by
the aperitif, was hooked, he grinned.
Van didn't have to be talked into
this one. He read the script too and
it brought patriotic goosebumps to his
spine, from Calais to Key West" Ha-

One young guest, obviously

Mrs. Alfredo Martin.
She said she recently was
graduated in industrial de-
signing from the University

the impression that America
would be just a land Of tall
buildings with people run
ming about all the time, and
having no time to stop and
be friendly.
But I discovered that
parks and green spaces be-
tween buildings are very
common, and people do have
the time to be your friend"
Miss Martin said.
Also present were Mr.. and
Mrs. John Janney Of Clarks-
vile, Md.
This is what Mrs. Muller,
the wife of the Ambassador,
had to say about them: 1.-The
Janneys grow Chilean pepper
on their farm, and it was
this pepper that was used in
making the 'empanadas' or
meat patties that are being
served at this party. Their
farm is the only place we
know in America where this
pepper is grown"
Present at the party was
Mrs. Marjorie Sproat, who is
the mother Of Mrs. Muller.
She said she is English but
that her husband was a Scot
of the Cunningham clan.

Drought
Causes Hay


The drought in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York State
has reached serious stage.
Conditions are such that rather
large amounts of hay will be
needed from surrounding areas,
according to DR.. William H.
Mitchell, University of Della
ware agronomist. There is a
need for all types of hay from
relatively poor quality hay used
by mushroom growers to top
quality hay used by dairy farm
ers and horsemen.
One mushroom grower has
expressed an interest in OBJ
tanning 1000 tons of "hay that
can be baled" for making COM
post, Mitchell reports.
Prices being paid will,
Of course, reflect the shortage.
1t is expected, however, that
they will generally correspond
to the level of hay quality.
Delaware alfalfa growers are
seeing the ability of this crop
to grow during dry weather,
Mitchell says. Many farmers
have cut their alfalfa twice
this summer and many are
prepared to harvest the third
crop during the next week or
two.
If you have some lespedeza
hay coming along, there may be
a good demand for it in the fall.
The same thing applies to Ger
man millet and soybean hay,
he reports.
If you have hay for sale, con-
tact DR.. Mitchell in the agron-
omy department or your county
agent. You can help your neigh
bors to the North as we'll as
yourself by reporting how much
and what kind of hay you are
offering for sale.

Governor Urges Observance
Of Apprenticeship Month

In a statement issued at Dover
this week, Governor Ebert
N. Carvel urged all state and
municipal agencies to join the
US. Department of Labor and
other Federal agencies in pro-
viding appropriate observance,
during August, of National Ap-
premiership Month.
The chief executive also
urged those Delaware en-
ployers and union organizations
NOT currently participating in
apprenticeship training pro-
grams to take appropriate
steps TO assure the development
of skilled workers in every
community. The strengthening
and expanding of existing ap-
premiership programs was also
advocated.
BY proclamation of the Pres
ident of the United States,
August is being observed
throughout the nation as Nation
al Apprenticeship Month in
commemoration of the enact
ment, on August l6, 1897, of the
National Apprenticeship Act and
in recognition of the great pro-
gress that has been made during
the past rs years in the field
of apprenticeship training.
The full text of Governor Car
vel's statement follows:
''ln this era ofrapidly chang
ing industrial techniques and
new approaches to many aspects
of our economic life, the devel-
opment of this Nations skilled
craftsmen is of vital import
ance to the continued national
security and economic growth
of the United States.
"As America moves deeper
into the challenging era of the
space age and the expanding
economy that will accompany
it, the need for broadening the
versatility and increasing the
competence of our skilled
craftsmen will grow.
"The National Apprentice
ship Act, which was enacted
into law on August 10, 1887,
provided for the expansion of
the United States Department
of Labor to include a Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Train
ing.
"Snce its inception, this
Bureau Of Apprenticeship and
Training has stimulated those
responsible for training to pro-
vide equal opportunities for all
qualified individuals to acquire
skills without regard to race,
creed, sex, age or physical
handicaps, thus increasing the
job opportunities, earning abil-
ity, and economic security of

the individual worker.
"By proclamation of the
President of the United States,
the month of August 1862 will
be observed as National Ap-
premiership Month in COM
emoration of the anniversary
of the enactment of the National
Apprenticeship Act and in rec
ognition of the great progress
that has been made in the field
of apprenticeship training.
81 heartily endorse this OBJ
servance and urge our state
and municipal agencies TO join

the US. Department of Labor
and other Federal agencies in
providing appropriate obser-
vance of National Apprentice

Further, urge employers
